Zen Living Principles – Top 3 Zen Principles That Everyone Should Practice

The Zen Living: 3 Easy Steps To Effortlessly Master Zen Living eloquently describes the top three zen principles that everyone should adhere to when practicing zen lifestyle.

They are:

1. Master Your Posture - The quintessential principle of zen living is the practice of correct posture for the sake of posture, and not for achieving a specific state of mind or feeling.  Straight spin, relaxed shoulders, and pulled in chin helps you naturally relax and get in touch with your body.  This is how you become present in the moment.  You do not do this as a means of obtaining right state of mind – you do this as a means of doing it in and of itself.
2. Deep Breathing – One of the most under-rated zen practices is the art of breathing deep.  We do it so often that we forget about doing it right.  The key is not to worry about whether you are doing it right or wrong, but to rather focus on the breathing itself.  When you focus on your breathing, we get in touch with our true zen nature.
3. Give up the Control – Be the water not the rock, wisely said Bruce Lee.  With constantly changing foreground, the only thing that stays same is the background – the perfectly balanced nature of your zen nature.  Don’t try to control your mind, or the images and thoughts that pop up in your mind.  Rather, let them come, and let them go.  Be aware of it.  This is not easy – it requires some special effort.

If you truly want to practice zen in your everyday life, you have to understand the meaning of keeping your mind on your breathing and your body in the right posture in zen.  Only in this way can you experience the vital freedom that Zen brings to you.
