Meditative

When Socrates was given poison, he had gathered all his disciples. One of the disciples asked, "Before you leave us, please tell us whether the soul survives or not".

Socrates said, "you are asking to answer a question that I'm unware. Let me die and see. Let me die fully aware". 

"Then, there will be two possibilities. Either I am gone, finished, with the body finishing, and there is nobody left to be aware. Or the body will be dying and I will be moving into some other form". 

"So, but before death, how can I say"? 

"So only I am so excited to die".

Do every action, thinking and feeling with awareness, alertness and mindfulness..that is being in a meditative state. 

It can even when dieing.

Holistic perspective: By stepping back and looking at the whole picture, you can identify patterns, relationships, and potential impacts that might be obscured when only looking at isolated details. [1, 2, 3]   2. Better decision-making : Having a broader understanding allows you to make more informed choices based on the complete context, not just a single aspect. [1, 2, 3]   3. Reduced stress and anxiety : Getting caught up in minor details can lead to unnecessary stress and overwhelm, while considering the bigger picture can provide a sense of perspective. [2, 3, 4]...
