Learn and practice the fundamental techniques of Zen Buddhist
MEDITATION (ZAZEN). These techniques are not complicated, allow US to
focus and calm our wandering minds and emotions, and open our
awareness to the world around US.In this introductory session, methods
of sitting meditation are reviewed. Meditation instruction includes a
discussion of breathing and stilling the mind, followed by short
periods of meditation practice. Different sitting postures for
meditation are also reviewed, including methods for sitting on
meditation cushions and in chairs.
_Beginner s Mind Zen Center provides zabutons (mats) and zafus
(cushions/pillows) for everyone s use, as well as a variety of other
