I keep seeing silly ads that say, 'Meditate Like a Monk.' Where did we get the notion that monks are the real meditators?

I don't want to meditate like a monk. I want to meditate like a wild shamanic poet with toes planted in loam, brain blossoming streaked lightning to the stars, voluptuous Shakti serpent-Goddess entwined around the tree of life, my spine. Won't you meet me in this dance?
