"Removing Mental Clutter" for a psychiatrist.

 

Recently I visited an #art exhibition arranged at a cool place surrounded by mountains. The place is an emerging tourist attraction.

I came across a young assistant working there. During our brief but interesting exchange of words, I got to know that, he is a #psychiatrist by #education and #profession. He has a full time working job in a hospital. However he took a long leave of a few months and joined this art exhibition as an assistant. so obviously my question was.......

"Why?"

"To clear the mental clutter and get some rest from urban #life"

"How do you help yourself in clearing the mental clutter?"

"I #meditate"

"Can you keep your mind in #present moment?"

"I try to"

"What else you do?"

"Whenever I get time, I look at the mountains. I try to see different shapes in them. I try to visualise the continental drift. 

I imagine a huge sea where I stand now and then I imagine myself walking at bottom of sea of that time with the huge creatures around me." Probably this way, indulging in #nature and crossing mental boundaries of #time helps him find himself back through his #mental clutter.
