Where Did I Put My Zen

ZEN is a type of Buddhism that seeks enlightenment through simple meditation and relaxation, it is a sweet journey to self-contemplation. I seek my inner quiet place my ZEN, is where I am free of fear and worry. It is my place of calmness, acceptance and balance- in only five or ten minutes stress floats away. Sit or lay on the floor or ground, empty your mind of all thoughts, shut down your to-do-list, stop replaying unpleasant memories. (Oh, thinking of nothing is difficult!) Just focus on your breathing, inhale, exhale, slowly create a mantra, a word or phrase (beautiful) and each time your mind wanders, call it back . . . Give yourself time for stillness, seek your morals buried deep within- Strength, courage, tranquility, serenity, forgiveness, acceptance, surrender . . . now come with me and just let go. ____________________ April 11, 2017 Didactic/Where Did I Put My Zen Copyright Protected, ID 891636 Be Didactic John Anderson Tenth Place
