Thinking can generate Ginhawa too

Cognitive Behavioral-Therapy (CBT) employs rational thinking to generate ginhawa. Whenever we use words, we are thinking, so practices that use words like journaling and poetry can produce ginhawa too (also see Meditation does not reside in the wordless).

And if philosophizing does not generate Ginhawa while we are doing it, it generates it after we gain clarity. Furthermore, there is a case for why ginhawa while thinking might be more important than meditation
