Meditations for a Happier Life
Meditation using
mindfulness is the most practical way to meditate. In the simple
act of training ourselves to become more aware by slowing down
our sense of time passing, we can learn to monitor our moods and
thoughts before they spiral downward.
The Tao of
Breathing
One of the impressions I have gained recently in speaking to
Zen friends about practice is a certain attitude towards

origins in the martial arts.
Quelling the Tsunami's wake: Meditation and Chant
The meditation and chant
described here will help all of those ready to pass into the higher realms of light to move to their own next level of consciousness.

A Nature Meditation
Meditation is the sinking dance into our sea of
consciousness, releasing the submerged stresses and coming to
the point of inner stillness where there is no object of
consciousness - but consciousness itself.
Done regularly, this inward dance leaves us fresh, more alert,
relaxed, creative, healthy, and more in tune with ourselves and
our environment.
Keeping Our Energy High and Harmonious
The quantity and quality of our energy flow deeply affect our
emotions, thoughts and reactions. The quality of our
relationships, productivity, creativity and health all depend
upon creating a high level of harmoniously flowing energy.
The following techniques and ways of life will aid us in
building a freer and more positive energy flow.

Zen and the Art of Looking at Brick Walls
If you were to look at a brick wall in a dingy tenement, if you wanted, you could create a different experience of it by
realizing that that brick wall, shares the same light, air, warmth, cold as everything else in the physical universe.
