Micro-Zen Meditation

The task here is simple, though not always easy. In this short practice, we will focus fully on the sensation of breathing for just three consecutive breaths. Rooted in the Zen Buddhist practice of zazen, this micro-meditation acts as a quick transfusion of energy: out with thought, and in with presence. Out with the self-conscious mind, and in with what you might call Zen mind. With each repetition, you become a little more grounded, relaxed, focused, and clear. I encourage you to try this out on your own throughout your day, whenever you can remember. There's always room for a few deep breaths.

Love it! Will send to my granddaughter who is doing a study year abroad in Tokyo
- Zen Country :) She is also travelling around SE Asia. Just back from a solo trop to Taiwan. Next stop Vietnam. So foreign to me, a Vietnam era 'survivor'. We still bear the emotional scars. 🙏💞

Leaving "then and there" for "here and now" was harder than I thought it would be. Appreciate the practice!

Glad I found this, i searched under you after not finding the right one. Yes, 3 breaths is doable and new for me to start counting on the exhale!
especially when done with
focus...i was looking for something quick to deal with Chrustmas gift decison stress I've been reading all these articles on how harmful stress affects the organs and of course the mental outlook, so i'm taking care of myself, first! Also, i'm at day 32 of your Tao course. I listen to your 6 minute sessions in the bathtub at night!

I love this simple exercise. I agree that it isn't necessarily easy, though. Thanks for the reset!

🙏🏼
