When it comes to meditation, the mainstream advice has always been: practice daily, eyes closed, lie down or stay seated. While I do agree meditation is beneficial for body and mind, I don’t think it should always be so static. As an ambitious jedi who has mastered mind skills that much, I promote reflection during random household chores and even nail art meditation.

Cooking, knitting, walking, cleaning bathrooms or mowing the lawn – everything can qualify as meditative practice if we combine it with a quiet mind and ujjayi breathing. I’ve been fond of monotonous activities requiring concentration since early childhood, partially because I’ve always felt my limbs are not my strength and pride, and partially because I’ve always preferred mental exercise rather than vigorous physical activity (which doesn’t make me an inactive slug though!).

Based on the evaluation above, I declare nail art a spiritual experience which is totally worth all time and money investments. Each bottle of nail polish and each box of crystal embellishments is therefore a shortcut to elevated state of being, and no one should frown upon an extensive nail art collection. God bless all the nail art guru-girls online who educated devotees like me with photos and tutorials. Good deeds must be passed on, so it is now my turn to spark inspiration.
