The Art Of Just Sitting: The Foundation
With Seba Di GiuseppeMost meditation courses focus on relaxation techniques, mantras, or visualizations. This 7-day course strips away the noise to teach you the purest form of practice: The Art of Just Sitting (Shikantaza). Based on ancient Zen principles but adapted for the modern, over-stimulated mind, this course acts as a progressive ladder. You will learn the raw mechanics of profound meditation—from aligning the "mountain body" and witnessing the vital breath, to emancipating the mind from discriminative thinking. Expect a deeply authentic, no-nonsense approach. Each day includes a brief, grounding lesson followed by a silent practice interval that progressively builds your capacity to sit with your whole heart. By Day 7, you will have the foundation to sit in unshakeable presence, dropping body and mind to honor the rare opportunity of human life.
Learn “Just Sitting” (Shikantaza) to ease mental exhaustion, build steady presence, and discover your true nature.
