We discuss a minimalist version of zazen, Zen Meditation, intended specifically for beginners looking to quieten their mind. This is Zen Buddhist meditation, but people from other faith (or no faith) backgrounds can adopt the techniques without difficulty. We discuss finding a location, posture adjustments, quieting the mind by watching the breath and return for a reflection on meditation’s importance in our lives. Be welcome, I hope you meet yourself laughing together, and that you return sharing this with all people.
