In this work we aim to discuss meditation as an oriental practice and care in the West. We present Taoist meditation, a reference used by the researcher, as well as the way the West has used this practice today and during the pandemic. Based on the actor-network theory (Latour, 2008) as a methodological support, we bring narratives collected during the pandemic of people around the world who previously meditated and who chose meditation as a form of self-care. We developed the discussion through the Care Logic of Annemarie Mol (1999; 2008) when we considered meditation as a resource in facing the reality caused by the coronavirus. From the narratives and discussions generated, we also point out the contributions of the practice of meditation to psychology, especially its consequences for clinical work, the gestalt approach both as a tool for psychotherapy and as a contribution to thinking about the concepts of awareness and organismic self-regulation.
