What effect does social media, mobile gaming and watching movies have on my meditation practice?
If you are regularly practising meditation, you should know for yourself how various activities affect your meditation.
For example, if desires &amp; thoughts about various activities pop into your mind regularly when meditating then obviously these activities are hindering the development of meditative concentration.
In summary, if the quality of your social media, mobile gaming and watching movies is related to lust, violence &amp; restlessness then they will inevitably hinder concentration meditation.
But if social media &amp; movies are of a more wholesome quality then they will not hinder meditation.
Note: I am too old to know what mobile gaming is.
