How to Practice Zenway Meditation

To practice Zenway meditation, you don't have to stop your daily mundane activity, such as reading or driving; you don't even have to assume a particular posture. Real meditation and real bliss should be found in your activity itself. ...There is no particular form in true practice.

Whether in sitting relaxation or in action, Zenway meditation simply means: "Wake up and focus!"

Forms, preparations and procedures are not mandatory. Just stop what you are doing for a moment, take a break, stretch, breathe deeply, sit down, resume what you are doing, focus, and open your mind to whatever comes into it.

The mind always flys around. All you have to do when your mind is flying around is to notice you are flying around. And then stop. (by Brian Zen, CFA)
