Physical and Mental Postures and the Mystery Bomb of Life

Physical and Mental Postures are the essence of our Zen practice. By committing to and bringing our attention to postures of stillness, non-reactivity, non-thinking and non-interference in both our body and our mind, a transformation happens.

We can explore and begin to live in the gap and tension between these postures and our habituated patterns of body-mind. When we pay very close attention to this gap, we come to see that the things we’ve held to be fixed for so long are not fixed, whether that’s your body or your mind or your self. We open into the aliveness of every moment. Then we can simply experience the mystery that is our life.
