ABOUT THE MEDITATION

This meditation is drawn from Zen. The Zen word Zazen, meaning just sitting, is a tough meditation. The most difficult thing is to just sit, doing nothing. To sit simply is to allow your mind free play. Your mind is going to come up with all kinds of arguments, reasons, excuses against this technique. It will try to convince you that this is a sheer waste of time. If you persist, the mind will become sleepy, it will daydream, it may even start hallucinating.

The whole purpose of this meditation is to let the mind play all the tricks it wants. Because one day the mind is simply going to get fed up of playing with you. One day the mind is going to realize that it can no longer control you with its games.

Then the mind drops of its own accord.
