The Importance of Zen Practice

Sitting is so important because it gives us the concentrated energy that enabled, gives us a fighting chance when we're out and about. It's saying in Gestalt Therapy about knowing that you're in the room. We find that if we can get in the habit of bringing awareness, same awareness that we cultivate when we're sitting, then the next time we sit, it's easier to settle. A lot of people have noticed that, say, they're sitting a half hour round, it takes about 25 minutes for the storm to pass,. as we become more awake.
