About this audiobook
You have children to raise, a career that doesn't slow down, a marriage to tend, and maybe ten unclaimed minutes a day. Every meditation book you've abandoned assumed you had a life you don't have. This one assumes the life you actually have — and shows you that it was the practice all along.
Drawing on zen's thousand-year-old lay tradition, householder zen offers a complete beginner's path built for full calendars: a sitting practice engineered to survive a family schedule, chores as training ground, children as the most accurate teachers you'll ever have, marriage as your closest practice community, and a way to work hard without letting work own you.
Inside this daily reader, you will discover:
Your antidote to anxiety: learn the art of present moment awareness to break the cycle of overthinking and chronic worry, giving you immediate anxiety relief.
Effortless mindfulness practice: no need for complex rituals. Spend just 5 minutes a day to cultivate mental clarity, inner peace, and emotional resilience.
A path to inner harmony: the book is divided into four progressive parts that gently guide you from foundational stillness to living a life of compassion and purpose.
In today's society, pressure and stress are the two things that you can always count on to be present. It seems as though the harder you work to get ahead, the farther behind you fall. Life will just continue to weigh down on you to the point where you think that this is just how it's supposed to be. Well i'm here to tell you that it isn't.
I wrote this book to help people just like you find that perfect balance between fulfillment and peace. By practicing zen and learning to meditate, relax and eliminate the unnecessary distractions in your life, you will soon be able to enjoy and appreciate yourself more and those around you.
The stresses and anxieties of today will wash away, never to return. More than anything, zen is an acquired attitude, one that this book will show you how to master.
