Extend Your Life 101: Peeling an Orange
Extend Your Life 101: Peeling an Orange
By Ziying Jian
In this podcast, you’ll learn all about the revolutionary practice of orange meditation, and how peeling an orange every day may just extend your life.
I wasn’t worrying about tomorrow’s test or what drama was happening in my friend group. I wasn’t thinking about the list of things I needed to do or my plans for the rest of the week. I was just peeling an orange, and time slowed down.
Process
My inspiration for this work came from peeling a grapefruit at 2 A.M. I was exhausted and, in a seemingly random move with little thought, just sat down and started to peel. After, I was overcome with a wave of relief and calm. Out of curiosity, I decided to investigate this process more, and stumbled upon orange meditation. I ultimately decided to bring this to a podcast format because I wanted to try something new, and it was a really fun experience working on this with my friend.
