A banded row is a group of people who are all sitting or standing in the same place. The banded row is an informal way of saying a group of friends.
Sitting around the same place is a more formal way of saying a group of friends.
A banded row is an informal way of saying a group of friends, but it is not an informal way at all. Sitting together isn’t exactly as informal as I like it to be because a banded row doesn’t have the same “closeness” as the more traditional way of sitting around a table.
The banded row is most famously used as a humorous way of saying “wait, are you sure? I thought we were going to be talking about the banded row?” (which is the correct answer to that question). The banded row is the most informal way to group together and they are always a good way to keep ourselves from getting stuck in a place we don’t want to be.
The easiest way to get into a banded-row is to sit close to one another so that you are close enough to hear and see each other. This is also a good way for us to all know each other and if we are to have a conversation then we can always use the banded-row. But unfortunately the best way to get into a banded-row is to think of it as sitting in a circle.
The best way to get into a banded-row is to do some sort of meditation. This is a good way for us to be on the same page, so we can all get together and discuss what is going on. If you are new to this, then try doing this exercise before you sit down to talk.
That’s good advice.
One of the most effective ways to get into a banded-row is to do a form of meditation called “meditation of the eye.” You can do this meditation by looking at a picture of the person or place you are addressing (the picture will be centered in your eye-line), and then closing your eyes. Then, as you breathe slowly and calmly, you will feel a calming tingling in your body.
That calming tingling actually makes it easier to close your eyes, so don’t worry about doing it too soon. By closing your eyes, you will be able to focus your mind and focus your visual attention on the picture you are addressing.
The seated banded row meditation teaches us many things, but one of the most important things it teaches is this: You can sit in a comfortable, relaxed way. Relaxing your body allows you to focus your mind on something else. Closing your eyes allows your body to relax. When you focus your mind on something, it allows you to focus your thoughts on something that is more important than what you are doing.
