Alright, let me tell you how I mastered the art of doing zen automatic. It all started when I got really curious about this thing. I heard some people talking about how great it was, so I thought, “Why not give it a shot?”
First off, I did some basic research. I asked around my friends who seemed to know a bit about it. One of them told me that I needed to find a quiet place. So, I headed to my old shed at the back of the yard. It was kind of dusty, but I cleaned it up a bit and made it my little zen corner.
Then, I started with the breathing. I remembered someone saying that deep breathing was key. So, I sat down cross – legged on an old cushion I found, closed my eyes, and began taking these long, slow breaths. In through the nose, out through the mouth. At first, it was hard. My mind kept wandering. I’d think about what I was going to eat later or that I needed to fix my bike. But I forced myself to focus back on my breathing.
Next, I tried to let go of my thoughts. This was the toughest part. Every time a thought popped up, I told myself to just let it go, like watching a cloud pass by in the sky. It took a while, but I gradually got better at it. I felt more and more relaxed as I kept at it.
Another important thing was to stay consistent. I decided to do this zen automatic thing every day for at least 15 minutes. Some days I really didn’t feel like it, but I pushed myself. And you know what? After a few weeks, I noticed a big difference. I felt calmer, more focused, and less stressed.
Finally, I added a little bit of music. I found some soft, nature – like sounds on my phone and played them in the background. It really helped me get into that zen state even faster. It was like the music guided me deeper into relaxation.
So, that’s my whole experience of learning how to do zen automatic. By finding a quiet place, focusing on breathing, letting go of thoughts, being consistent, and adding some music, I managed to master these 4 key points. It wasn’t easy, but it was definitely worth it!
