The Relationship Between Meditation and Film

After doing a 10-day meditation retreat, you feel like your entire body is sinking into the place where you're doing the work. You have this physiological sensation of being present. Even today, I'm working on an essay and I'll have this moment where I realize, wow, I'm really in this thing. And with film, actually, I found I had this incredible shift in relationship to watching movies. The relationship to everything feels like it's changed after the, after the retreat.
