It’s what I’ve lived through over two decades of self-inquiry, life lessons, and what’s helped me grow. It’s mantras, meditations, jokes or maybe an interview. Whatever inspires me in the moment, I put it out. Perhaps it inspires you to take creative initiative and act on what’s already in you. I hope it gives you peace or at least makes you smile.

Zazen Meditation

Zazen means “seated Zen.” Za = seated, Zen = meditation or direct insight. It’s similar in form to Padmasana—Padmameaning lotus, Asana meaning seat.

I studied this discipline at Eiheiji, the Soto Zen monastery founded by Dōgen Zenji in Fukui, Japan.

Key pointers:– Sit in lotus or half-lotus
– Hands in cosmic mudra (left over right, thumbs gently touching)
– Right palm faces up, resting on lap
– Spine straight, chin slightly tucked
– Gaze 45° forward, soft and unfocused

Guided Practice starts at 6:50 min.
