Tao & Zen ... The Art of Meditation


Tao & Zen students are provided with a useful introduction to Taoist Meditation and Zen Buddhism, as well as basic instruction in practice sitting meditation. It’s a unique opportunity to learn first-hand from seasoned practitioners, Christine Ucich and David Wilson. 

At the heart of Zen practice is zazen, seated meditation. One master said that listening and thinking are like being outside the gate, and zazen is returning home and sitting in peace. Zazen is really a very simple practice and does not involve complicated instructions. Sit in the proper posture and attend to the body, breath, and mind.

Likewise, Tao meditation is a simple practice. Based on the premise of entering inward toward the subtle energy of the body, Tao practices includes breath awareness and visualization of the Qi meridians (energy channels). The combination of breath & mind (visualization) brings the body and mind, together, as one.

 
Other topics include: mindfulness & why it works, why meditation
is becoming more popular in our culture, history of Taoism & Zen,
how to attend to both body and mind during seated meditation.

“Actually we do not have any particular name for our practice;
 when we practice zazen we just practice it,
 and whether we find joy in our practice or not, we just do it.
