Just a few clicks makes it easy for you to listen on your favorite podcast player. Become a PREMIUM member today by going to --> https://WomensMeditationNetwork.com/premium Come to your pillow tonight, sweet one, And give it all to the night. The anxieties, the worries, the fears… Gather them all up, And let them go. So you can drift off peacefully into the tranquil night. Breathe in deeply, And pull yourself into this moment. Fill your entire body with air, Holding it at the top for just a moment. And then breathe out, Releasing the day, Releasing the thoughts. Another deep breath in, Gathering up all the things left undone, The grey clouds of emotions hiding inside, Hold it at the top, Hold, And let it go, Releasing all of it through your exhale. Bring your breathing to an easy, natural rhythm, And then allow yourself a moment to find your most favorite sleeping position. PAUSE… Come here, Into your bed, Your safe island of refuge. Your worries, fears and anxieties want to snuggle with you here, And keep you awake. But tonight, They're not welcome. Tonight, they are banned from your safe, sleepy island. PAUSE… So relax, Exhaling yourself deeper into your bed. Imagining the air flowing into your body as you inhale is finding all those parts of your body that are tense right now, And with its gentle touch, Dissolves that tension as your exhale releases it, Relaxing you deeper with each breath. Breathe in and let the fresh air find the tension in your forehead, Your eyes, Your cheeks and jaw, And your neck. Breathe out the tightness. PAUSE… Feel your inhale finding the stress in your shoulders, Your arms, Your chest, And your stomach. Breathe out and release the tension. PAUSE… Invite the air in to find the tightness in your hips, Your back, Your legs, And your feet. Exhale and let go of all the tension. And feel your entire body melt further into your bed. LONG PAUSE… As your body quiets, Your mind may be getting louder. Sneaking in random flashes of visions that want to wake you. But instead of looking too long, See if you can see those thoughts or visions as they pop up, And image them magically morphing into the shape of a shell. A vision pops up, A fear, A worry, An anxiety, And watch it shift into a shell, Nestled in the sand on your safe, sleepy island. PAUSE… One by one, Observe any of those visions, Anxieties, Worries, Fears. As your body lies here in the comfort of your bed, Just notice those thoughts come up, And change into shells, That now rest at the foot of your bed, On the beach of your safe island of sleep. LONG PAUSE… Keep searching for them, Those heavy anxieties, worries and fears plague your mind, And collect them, And placing the shells on your beautiful beach. PAUSE… When all the shells have been gathered, And are piled high on the sand, Imagine yourself looking at them, Without emotion, Without meaning, And feeling safe knowing they are not within you, They are not a part of you. PAUSE… And as you breathe in deep, Feeling the fresh spaces now open inside of you, Reach down, And take those shells, Moving them into the boat on your beach. One by one, Take those shells of anxiety, Of worry, Of fear, And place them in the boat, Until you see all of them piled high within its walls. PAUSE… Close your eyes, Raising your face to the warmth of the sun, Letting your mind clear in this moment, And then place your hands on your boat, And push it out into the ocean, Watching peacefully as the waves carry it all away. PAUSE…

143: Zen = More is Less

UnMind: Zen Moments With Great Cloud

In our last segment of UnMind, on the meaning of “less is more” — a central axiom of design thinking coined by the famous architect, Mies van der Rohe — I introduced the notion that this adage may be usefully applied to Zen, as well. The simplicity of lifestyle and paucity of possessions surrounding the history of Zen, in China and Japan in particular, speaks to the general question regarding happiness and satisfaction in life: How much is enough? In this segment we will consider how “more” can often be “less.” When we reach a certain level of stability in the normal stages of life in the “first world” countries of modern times, we may find that we have an overabundance of personal possessions: a complete household, and maybe a summer home as well, with the requisite home furnishings; maybe one or two vehicles, a boat, maybe even a private plane. At a certain point, unless we can manage the upkeep and maintenance of all our many acquisitions, our possessions begin owning us. That is, an increasingly large percentage of our time is devoted to taking care of the many things that we do not actually use very often, and probably don't really need, in any realistic sense. Then comes the de-cluttering and downsizing, just to get back to a normal state of affairs — where we can spend our time on those aspects of life that we find most important and rewarding, such as family, friends — and, in Zen, personal insight into existence itself. In examining our approach to Zen meditation, in the context of “less is more,” we see clearly that excess accumulation of material goods is not of much use, and can readily form yet another barrier to simplification of all the demands on our time and attention. When it comes to meditation, we consciously choose to pay attention to the basics of existence, including the body and its posture, the breath and its pattern, and the mind and its machinations. In doing so, we witness the natural functions of the monkey mind as setting goals, ruminating over the past and worrying about the future, and so on. In order to simplify our task of waking up to reality as it is, we can recognize when we are setting goals, for example, and choose to stop setting goals, at least in terms of our meditation. So I launched into the discussion of subtracting such elements from our practice, as we witness them arising, resulting in the concept of “goalless” meditation, which in itself may be defined as a “goal.” Or “timeless” meditation, where we set aside the burden of timing our sitting period, and allow ourselves to reenter real time, which has nothing to do with measurement. Eventually our meditation can become “effortless” — where we have been doing this for so long that, like driving a car, it really doesn't require any conscious effort; and the physical effort has become second nature, so no big deal. SENSELESS MEDITATIONExtending this idea, the various dimensions we observe in zazen, such as the six senses, yield the possibility of “sightless” meditation; “soundless” meditation; “odorless” and “tasteless” meditation; and even “sensationless” meditation, which would be akin to physical Samadhi, I suppose. It would also entail “weightlessness,” when our BMI and gravity come into perfect balance. MINDLESS MEDITATIONAnd finally, “emotionless,” as well as “thoughtless,” or “mindless,” meditation — which latter would conventionally be interpreted as a pejorative. But in Zen, the “don't-know mind” is valued most highly. Emotional Samadhi: less anxiety, more serenity; mental Samadhi: less confusion, more clarity. Eventually, “social Samadhi”: less friction, more harmony in relationships with others, as well as being comfortable in your own skin. FORMLESS MEDITATIONFrom the perspective of posture, breath, and attention, which and when they all come together in a unified way, as Matsuoka Roshi would often say: “This is the real zazen”; we find ourselves practicing “posture paramita”: aiming at the perfect posture without ever imagining we have achieved it, another of Sensei's Zen “secrets.” Through a process of profound sensory adaptation, we arrive at “formless meditation,” not only in terms of physical posture, or form, the first of the five aggregates, but also “mental formations,” the mysterious fourth skandha, meaning underlying motives, intentions, desires, and so forth, the psychological level of motivation. All gone away. CONSCIOUS-LESS MEDITATIONThe natural evolution of our approach to meditation would then naturally and logically lead to a kind of “conscious-less” meditation, an expression so countercultural that it requires a hyphen. The fifth aggregate comprehends the other four, in that we are, or become, conscious of form, sensation, perception, and mental formations, on deeper and deeper levels. Until we apprehend the “flip-side” of each, as the Heart Sutra indicates: “no form, no sensation, no perception, no mental formations”; “until we come to no consciousness also,” as the original English translation we used at Zen Buddhist Temple of Chicago rendered the line. We are conscious of the other four — until we are not; and then we are conscious of consciousness itself — until we are not. This steady progression through — and adaptation to — the aggregates, outlined in the Surangama Sutra, is attributed to Buddha himself. So I am not just making this up as I go along. BREATHLESS MEDITATION That our meditation becomes “breathless” at some point may not be obvious — not in the sense of “breathless anticipation” — but in that we are not doing the breathing to begin with; the body is. So when we relinquish the idea of “control”: of the posture, the breath, and the direction of our attention; the natural posture, the naturalbreath, and the natural, or original, state of mind can come into play. We return to our original mind and body, which as Master Dogen reminds us, will unmistakably “drop off.” In good time. OBJECTLESS MEDITATION When our attention — and intention — come together in a unified or holistic way, then it may be said that our meditation has become “objectless.” Both in the sense of the senses and their objects merging in nonduality, and in the sense that we no longer can articulate any specific intention, underlying our practice. It has become “shikantaza,” the Japanese expression for the inexpressible unified field theory of conscious awareness. But we should not become enthralled with this as a concept, which threatens to morph into an expectation, rather than an aspiration. If we understand that “form and reflection behold[ing] each other” is the necessary and natural inflection point that meditation inexorably leads to — or returns to, to be more precise — we cannot go far astray. CONCEPTLESS MEDITATIONThis suggests yet another “less is more” dimension of meditation: that it can be utterly devoid of concepts, associations, or connotations, of any kind. This we might define as “pure” meditation, in the Zen sense of “purity” as nonduality, rather than conventional connotations of morality. No concept, however broad and deep its scope, can capture the breadth and depth of the effect, meaning, and implications of zazen. This is why the content and intent of Zen is sometimes referred to as “The Great Matter,” capitalized. HEARTBEAT MEDITATIONOn a less transcendent and more practical level, I would like to share with you some of my more recent discoveries in zazen fostered by my contracting COVID 19 in December of 2022, followed by a roughly three-month recovery period, amounting to an enforced “ango,” or traditional practice period, of ninety days. During this time, I lost a lot of strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination; and experienced the “mental fog” associated with the worst aftereffects of the pandemic, though I am not inflicted with “long covid” but only the exacerbated effects of aging in combination with the disease. In taking the posture during this time, crossing my legs was increasingly difficult, and the resultant stiffness in my knees threatened to strain a tendon. So I took to sitting on the edge of the raised bench, with my feet on the floor. Getting up from the floor when manning the timekeeper (Doan) position became an agonizing exercise in finding the leverage to stand up. So I moved to chair-sitting. This adaptation to aging is not unusual, by the way — several veteran adepts have found that, by their mid-sixties, they could no longer sit in lotus posture. In order to recover my ability to sit with stability while cross-legged, I began taking a more aggressive approach to the posture and breath, as well as to walking meditation, to compensate for the loss of my youthful vigor. My long-term engagement with kinhin, I am convinced, explains my relative sense of balance, compared to others my age. In implementing this more active approach to the posture and breath, I discovered that I would begin feeling my heartbeat after holding my inbreath for a count of eight or ten, realizing that the tempo of the counting corresponded to the heartbeat. It is as if your heart is the metronome, counting off the time signature of your instrument, the body. By doing a full-body “crunch” while holding my breath, my spine would pop and pull into its natural s-curve, arching the small of the back forward and down, and pulling back and up on the chin, exaggerating the “cobra-rising” rigor of the upright seated posture. Exhaling, I began counting the heartbeat instead of the breath, noticing how the two are synchronized. Gradually, as the breath slows down, so does the heart, from 2 beats per in-breath and out-breath to four, then longer sequences of pulsation as the outbreath, in particular, slows down to a soothing rhythm. Repeating this cycle of squeezing and letting go, the relaxation response begins to set in, embracing the squeeze-and-release cycle of the heart itself, allowing more relaxation time between pulses. I could go on into more detail about how this rhythmic process smooths itself out until, as Matsuoka Roshi would say, the breath seems to come and go through the whole body, like a frog sitting on a lily pad, breathing by osmosis through the pores of the skin. HEALING MEDITATIONI am convinced that this process of observing the integration of posture and breath has therapeutic, or healing, properties; which have immediate benefits of calming the nervous system, and long-term effects promoting longevity. The main benefit of longevity being that it affords a greater chance to wake up fully, in the Zen sense, during this brief lifetime. You might consider expanding this discussion in your own words — such constructions as “compassionless” meditation — to consider whether the concept of compassion that you may be harboring actually conforms to the true meaning of the word, which is to “suffer with.” If you come up with any confounding notions along these lines, please feel free to share them with me. It may prompt a beneficial exchange as to the “limitless” meditation that is zazen. In the next segment, we will return to consideration of “Election Year Zen” — with all the real-world ethics and civics implications that this focus implies.

Hey, it's Katie and I want to welcome you to this special bonus episode. It'll be here for you completely ad-free for the next week so you can get a feel of what it's like to be a PREMIUM member. If you'd like an easy ad-free experience for all of our podcasts - that's over 200 episodes each month, then JOIN PREMIUM today at https://WomensMeditationNetwork.com/premium Come to your pillow tonight, sweet one, And give it all to the night. The anxieties, the worries, the fears… Gather them all up, And let them go. So you can drift off peacefully into the tranquil night. Breathe in deeply, And pull yourself into this moment. Fill your entire body with air, Holding it at the top for just a moment. And then breathe out, Releasing the day, Releasing the thoughts. Another deep breath in, Gathering up all the things left undone, The grey clouds of emotions hiding inside, Hold it at the top, Hold, And let it go, Releasing all of it through your exhale. Bring your breathing to an easy, natural rhythm, And then allow yourself a moment to find your most favorite sleeping position. PAUSE… Come here, Into your bed, Your safe island of refuge. Your worries, fears and anxieties want to snuggle with you here, And keep you awake. But tonight, They're not welcome. Tonight, they are banned from your safe, sleepy island. PAUSE… So relax, Exhaling yourself deeper into your bed. Imagining the air flowing into your body as you inhale is finding all those parts of your body that are tense right now, And with its gentle touch, Dissolves that tension as your exhale releases it, Relaxing you deeper with each breath. Breathe in and let the fresh air find the tension in your forehead, Your eyes, Your cheeks and jaw, And your neck. Breathe out the tightness. PAUSE… Feel your inhale finding the stress in your shoulders, Your arms, Your chest, And your stomach. Breathe out and release the tension. PAUSE… Invite the air in to find the tightness in your hips, Your back, Your legs, And your feet. Exhale and let go of all the tension. And feel your entire body melt further into your bed. LONG PAUSE… As your body quiets, Your mind may be getting louder. Sneaking in random flashes of visions that want to wake you. But instead of looking too long, See if you can see those thoughts or visions as they pop up, And image them magically morphing into the shape of a shell. A vision pops up, A fear, A worry, An anxiety, And watch it shift into a shell, Nestled in the sand on your safe, sleepy island. PAUSE… One by one, Observe any of those visions, Anxieties, Worries, Fears. As your body lies here in the comfort of your bed, Just notice those thoughts come up, And change into shells, That now rest at the foot of your bed, On the beach of your safe island of sleep. LONG PAUSE… Keep searching for them, Those heavy anxieties, worries and fears plague your mind, And collect them, And placing the shells on your beautiful beach. PAUSE… When all the shells have been gathered, And are piled high on the sand, Imagine yourself looking at them, Without emotion, Without meaning, And feeling safe knowing they are not within you, They are not a part of you. PAUSE… And as you breathe in deep, Feeling the fresh spaces now open inside of you, Reach down, And take those shells, Moving them into the boat on your beach. One by one, Take those shells of anxiety, Of worry, Of fear, And place them in the boat, Until you see all of them piled high within its walls. PAUSE…
