Is there a fundamental difference between this "relaxed" state and some form of exercise involving longer streaks of monotonous movement (say swimming) while focusing on the repetitive motions (and sensations) themselves?

Interesting! I don't think there is much difference. Let's see:

- Both are focusing moments

- Both require full attention to make any sense

- Both call for the best of you.

- Both are delicious (focusing on stuff is the fun of life, innit? )

But one calls for focus naturally (swimming) and the other needs deliberate focus against 'habit of thoughts'.

Hope that answers it.
