Zen Meditation - Simple Manual

Meditation is a total experience. It involves both the body, breath and mind. Basically, there are only three things to remember in learning meditation: You must be stable, you must be a tonic, you must feel at ease.

    Take the lotus position, half-lotus, or failing that just put a foot on the opposite calf. Both knees should touch the ground with equal pressure.
The tone is by adjusting the spine.

    Do not sit on the top but on the lower buttocks. From the tripod formed by the legs and buttocks, gently straighten the column, then the head, gently returning the chin and lower the light in front of you without setting a specific point.

    Close the mouth and breathe through your nose. The breath is quiet.

    For now, just simply to see and hear. There is more noise from outside, but inside you, what is? The silence or the rustling of the mind? Accept everything that arises: thoughts, feelings or emotions. Do not refuse. Do not continue. Being fixed, rooted in the experience of the body.

    You must be from somewhere, your body sometimes strong, sometimes shaky, the mind, your mind sometimes sharp, sometimes foggy. All the skillS will help to drift consciously. Your body, your breathing and your mind become the crucible of awakening.

    It may be true tips to inspire, to penetrate deep inside the area. To reach your own heart.

    As you do meditation, disturbance will calm down. You will feel calm, soothed. From this quiet, then you should go further, make a leap into the unknown.

In the end, Do not get up at once. Live it slowly.
