Zen Tip #1 - Explore the nature of Zen
Find a quiet, tranquil corner in your home that is far from the hustle and bustle of the day and make it your "zendo." A zendo is your meditation place.
Wear loose-fitting clothing. There is no need for special exercise pants or the latest techno-fabric shirt. The only equipment you may want is a zafu, which is a thick round cushion stuffed with kapok, or buckwheat shells. However, when first starting meditation any sort of thick pillow will do.
Another item that may also be proven useful is a zabuton. A zabuton is a square pad that cushions the knees. But if you don't have a zabuton, then a blanket or two that are folded in a square works equally as well.
Be sure that you free yourself from distraction. You can do this by considering using a timer or a timer app, in order to keep track of your meditation period.
I hope that this Zen Tip helps anyone who happens to come across it. I shall be posting more as soon as I can and I hope that everyone is enjoying the Daily Zen Quotes. Again I welcome anyone who has a request on what else they would like to see on this blog to please feel free and leave a comment below. I would love to hear more ideas. Well until tomorrow.
