Allowing Life TO BE AS IT IS

Send us Fan Mail LEARNING HOW TO SAY HELLO Our usual way is usually to resist what comes to us in life, fight it, change it, try to run away from it. Zen practice does the opposite...we learn how to say hello. We sit still, walk mindfully, welcome whatever comes into our lives, truly experience it. We are making room for everything to come as it is, have space to grow, alter, transform, even illuminate us. It is not what comes that is so difficult, but the way we receive, or refuse to receive it, and then to let it go. In this practice we simply give life the room to be as it is. And, in doing so, we too, have the room to be who we are, and transform, as well. Support the show
