I can't take much disorganization now. So, I returned to Soto Zen practice. It goes past the rituals of faith. Zen practice involves our daily tasks. I am unwinding the chaos I was feeling and becoming more and more grounded. Soto Zen meditation is something that does not require a belief in the Buddhist faith in order to practice the basic rituals and methods. It's just being fully mindful of each moment. I no longer feel like the world is rushing around me.
Nice...reminds me of the ritual I have of playing Carlos Nakai, putting crystals on my desk, and insense as I set a gratitude intention around my months bill paying/financial review. I used to dress it...now I look forward to it. I recently recommited myself to daily medication....even when all is well in my mind.lol this the first I have heard of zoto zen. Can you recommend a good link to more information?
I love Nakai as well - also crystals but I do burn less incense that I used to and not sure why since I love it wafting through the air.....thanks for the reminder!

This is awesome. I love when we find what helps us stay centered and grounded. Thanks for sharing this - I see Nan wants to know more....
