Zen Story: The Woodcutter

Stories are more helpful than intellectual explanation in teaching you to feel the present moment. Let yourself enter the feeling of this story and let it remind you of something you can't quite put into words. Let it remind you of the feeling, not the thought, of being alive, Right Now.

It's like by trying too hard, we push Zen away further from ourselves. It's like in noticing that we must reach for it, we hold ourselves apart, in awareness of separation. When we simply open our hand, we can allow it to take rest within our buddha palm.

There is nothing less than a five star about Charles. A most enlightening couple of minutes. Charles has the perfect voice for facilitating mindfulness!

Nice analogy. Thanks 🙏🏼

Great story, and music
