Mindfulness Zen Meditation

<p>The term "Zen" has been associated to calm and peace in our modern times. In truth, the word itself is derived from the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_language">Japanese</a> pronunciation of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_Chinese" title="Middle Chinese">Middle Chinese</a> word 禪 (<em>chán</em>), an abbreviation of 禪那 (<em>chánnà</em>), which is a Chinese transliteration of the Sanskrit word <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhy%C4%81na_in_Buddhism" title="Dhyāna in Buddhism"><em>dhyāna</em></a> ("<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meditation" title="Meditation">meditation</a>"). Its history is largely attributed to being a <strong>school of Buddhism</strong> that has been distilled through three cultures: <em>Indian, Chinese, and Japanese</em>, and which takes the <strong>practice of meditation</strong> as its primary focus.</p> <p>The practice itself is about being in the present moment, in the NOW. Instead of the mind being pulled to thoughts of the past or the future, from constant ruminating, a Zen meditation encourages you to focus in your current experience. Because truly, the only time you have is right now.</p> <p>This meditation guides you through a 6-minute practice. &nbsp;In truth, you can practice this anywhere and anytime.&nbsp;</p>
