About this ebook
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:
#1 Zazen is a modern version of the Zen Buddhist practice of seated meditation. It is a simple practice that focuses on your breath, and it can have lingering effects of calmness, clarity, and increased attention that last for hours.
#2 Zazen Breath Awareness meditation is a practice that will strengthen your focus, patience, clarity, and self-awareness. It will also help you develop a deeper relationship with your own mind, thoughts, and emotional states.
#3 The most important thing for meditation is to be able to focus your attention on the present. This can be difficult for most people, so by practicing breath awareness, you can take back control of your attention and transform even the simplest tasks into something joyful and beautiful.
#4 There are many different postures for meditation, and you should find one that is comfortable for you to maintain for the duration of the practice. You should avoid postures that are so comfortable you could fall asleep.
