How to do zen meditation?

Basically there are some step to perform zen meditation. Zen meditation is somehow similar to mindfulness as both regard to focus on presence of mind. However zen meditation particularly involves awareness.

Now let's dive into it :-

1. Do one thing at a time:- This is a basic rule to apply zen in daily life . The main philosophy of zen monk is also to do  single task at a time not a multitasking. It you are particularly singing song then give full focus to singing, while you are eating then give full focus on eating. This is the main fundamental of zen meditation.

2. Separate time for zazen meditation:- You could simply sit for a particular time at  a peaceful place. Take you own comfortable position and dive into the world of your mind.

3.  Once you have taken place then take your comfortable position and let your breath roam freely.

4. You head should not leans forward. It should be straight.

5. Your eyes should be tilted to 45 degree of angle looking about three foot from the ground and dive into focus.

6. Rest your palm on your lap, thighs or abdomen  where they do not create stress on your hand.

7. Then find great posture for yourself and then count from one to three then inhale and then exhale by counting four five six. Like that you could simply repeat four 5 to 10 minutes if you are beginner but if you are pro you could extend it from half and hour to one hour.

8. You could simply meditate by inhaling air up to to your stomach then release slowly like the air that releases from balloon. Slowly and gently!

9. If you are not convinced with me you can simply search in web where you can find online classes. One of the greatest platform for online education is udemy and many more like gl , future learn are available or you can also simply join meditation class near you.

10. You can also hire a professional teacher but i suggest you to search guided meditation videos in social medias so that you would not have to pay.
