Another pair of vintage speakers sent home.

I just sent a pair of KLH 5 loudspeakers home with their owner. I charged $150 for this restoration, a good deal for both of us, as I use speaker restoration as a form of meditation. Sanding, sanding sanding. Omm. These are three-way speakers from the early 1970s. Henry Kloss was leaving KLH to form Advent (we've all heard of Advent) just as these were being designed. What is your favorite form of meditation?

You did a good job. They’re beautiful. My meditation is quieting my mind and brushing my thoughts out of the way.

Just being is good. I enjoy sitting in nature. Some of my hiking partners don't understand my desire to sit on the trail and "rest," even when I am not tired.

@TheHorse I like to sit and stare when I walk by the creek.

Sitting in complete silence and letting my mind wonder.

Wonder? Or wander? Or both?

@TheHorse I guess it's the same.

@kaylachan When I wonder, I find myself asking specific questions. Hypotheses I could test. When I let my mind wander, I just try to take in what's happening around me. It's less focused (for me, anyway).

Looks like another nice pair of speakers you have done. I like Yoga.

@TheHorse .......It is very laid back and has a calming effect on me.

Probably doing my string mats or crocheting. Do you have more speakers to work on?

Yep. He brought me some Klipsch Heresys. I'll do a " before" post soon, I'm sure.

My favorite form of meditation? Crocheting, or going out and work in the garden, also painting, I like painting it is relaxing.

I find meditation very stressful. So I try to avoid it.

@TheHorse I tried it once in India...It was Peer Pressure. All my Peers there do it...and I almost got bitten by a cobra.

I have learned from my Buddhist friends to sit with sad thoughts and embrace them as well.
