Join me this evening and every Tuesday evening from 7 to 8 PM for a free guided "Do Nothing" meditation (also known as "Shikantaza" or "Just Sitting" in the Zen tradition) and dialogue.
Tonight's dialogue will explore the nature of "Do Nothing" meditative practice, revealing that the practice isn't really about "doing nothing", but, rather, about aligning yourself with what is instead of fighting against it. At a deeper level, it is a spiritual practice that looks at the contradictions and paradoxes of existence as mysteries to be contemplated and admired, rather than as problems needing to be solved or figured out.
No prior meditation experience is necessary. We will meet by zoom until we can find an appropriate venue to meet in person and the pandemic more fully abates.
I'm a college professor who teaches meditation both within and outside the university setting. I organize an online weekly advanced meditation discussion group and write a meditation-related blog, which you can browse here: https://www.meditator-x.com/ .
