What is Zen meditation?

 

Zen meditation seeks to awaken you to the true nature of yourself. It is not about being enlightened or about entering a trance. It is about being fully aware of yourself in the present moment. From a Buddhists perspective it would open our minds up the possibilities of emptiness.

Many prefer to sit and do their Zen meditations for no less than 10 minutes per day. There are many how do Zen meditation for much longer than this for the average practitioner 10- 40 minutes is usually enough. At first you may experience sitting in the Zen meditation position. Many people get pains in their ankles or legs while sitting. However, it is important that you don’t put yourself into positions which are painful. If you experience pain simply stop meditation and continue again the next day or later in the same day. As you get more comfortable with the Zen meditation sitting position your body will also get more comfortable any pain will soon go away or you will be able to sit for longer periods of time.

Wear loose clothing and practice during a time of day where you experience the fewest distractions. Many people prefer morning, while others prefer the night. There is no right time to meditate, just make sure you won’t be distracted or obligated or distracted by other daily stresses.

In our daily lives we often think of our mind, body and breath and three different elements. However, Zen meditation brings these three elements together into one harmonious element.

How to do Zen meditation?

Zen meditation, unlike other religions is almost anti-theoretical and de-emphasizes the study of religion texts. It sets as it’s main objective the focus on allowing the individual to understand their true self.

Zen sitting meditation is called “Zazen” in Japanese. Practitioners of Zen meditation usually assume a sitting position (on a floor or sometimes on a chair). If you are in a sitting position you will usually use the lotus position, half lotus, Burmese or Seiza position.

With Zen meditation your awareness is directed towards your posting and breathing. If your mind wanders you are directed to re-focus your attention on your body and your breathing. You are not to get discouraged or focus on your wondering mind. Instead you are supposed to gently bring you mind back to focusing on your breathing.
