ZAZEN

In Zazen, it is thought that your body, breathing, and heart are all connected.

Stress builds up in your muscles.

A distorted body causes shallow breathing, and shallow breathing creates an irritated and depressed heart.

In zazen, you first remove the distortions from your body and fix your posture.

Your breathing will then naturally become deep and calm.

And when your breath becomes deep and calm, your heart becomes peaceful.
