Happiness Poems - Look For The Positives In Your Life

THE RIDICULOUS OPTIMIST

There was once a man who smiled

Because the day was bright,

Because he slept at night,

Because God gave him sight

To gaze upon his child;

Because his little one,

Could leap and laugh and run;

Because the distant sun Smiled on the earth he smiled.

He smiled because the sky

Was high above his head,

Because the rose was red,

Because the past was dead!

He toiled, and still was glad

Because the air was free,

Because he loved, and she

That claimed his love and he

Shared all the joys they had!

Because the grasses grew,

Because the sweet winds blew,

Because that he could hew

And hammer, he was glad.

Because he lived he smiled,

And did not look ahead

With bitterness or dread,

But nightly sought his bed

As calmly as a child.

And people called him mad

For being always glad

With such things as he had,

And shook their heads and smiled.

—Samuel Ellsworth Kiser.

Happiness Poems - Your Power In The World SCATTER SUNSHINE

In a world where sorrow ever will be known,

Where are found the needy, and the sad and lone;

How much joy and comfort we can all bestow

If we scatter sunshine everywhere we go.

Slightest actions often meet the sorest needs,

For the world wants daily little kindly deeds;

Oh, what care and sorrow we may help remove,

With our songs and courage, sympathy and love.

When the days are gloomy, sing some happy song,

Meet the world's repining with a courage strong;

Go, with faith undaunted, through the ills of life,

Scatter smiles and sunshine o'er its toil and strife.

—Lanta Wilson Smith.

Happiness Poems - Happiness Should Not Be Pursued

HAPPINESS

I have found happiness who looked not for it.

There was a green fresh hedge,

And willows by the river side,

And whistling sedge.

The heaviness I felt was all around.

No joy sang in the wind.

Only dull slow life everywhere,

And in my mind.

Then from the sedge a bird cried; and all changed.

Heaviness turned to mirth:

The willows the stream's cheek caressed,

The sun the earth.

What was it in the bird's song worked such change?

The grass was wonderful.

I did not dream such beauty was

In things so dull.

What was it in the bird's song gave the water

That living, sentient look?

Lent the rare brightness to the hedge?

That sweetness shook

Down on the green path by the running water?

Or the small daisies lit

With light of the white northern stars

In dark skies set?

What was it made the whole world marvellous?

Mere common things were joys.

The cloud running upon the grass,

Children's faint noise,

The trees that grow straight up and stretch wide arms,

The snow heaped in the skies,

The light falling so simply on all;

My lifted eyes

That all this startling aching beauty saw?

I felt the sharp excess

Of joy like the strong sun at noon—

Insupportable bliss!

—Freeman John 1880 - 1929

Happiness Poems - You Can Make A Difference

RING, HAPPY BELLS

Ring out the grief that saps the mind,

For those that here we see no more;

Ring out the feud of rich and poor,

Ring in redress to all mankind.

Ring out a slowly-dying cause,

And ancient forms of party strife;

Ring in the nobler modes of life,

With sweeter manners, purer laws.

Ring out the want, the care, the sin,

The faithless coldness of the times;

Ring out, ring out my mournful rhymes,

But ring the fuller minstrel in.

Ring out false pride in place and blood,

The civic slander and the spite;

Ring in the love of truth and right

Ring in the common love of good.

Ring out old shapes of foul disease;

Ring out the narrowing lust of gold;

Ring out the thousand wars of old,

Ring in the thousand years of peace.

Ring in the valiant man and free,

The larger heart, the kindlier hand;

Ring out the darkness of the land,

Ring in the Christ that is to be.

— Alfred Tennyson.

Happiness Poems - Accept Who You Are

THE PICTURE OF A HAPPY MAN

How blest is he, though ever crossed,

That can all crosses blessings make;

That finds himself ere he be lost,

And lose that found for virtue's sake.

Yea, blest is he, in life and death,

That fears not death nor loves this life;

That sets his will his wit beneath;

And hath continual peace in strife.

That naught observes but what preserves

His mind and body from offense;

That neither courts nor seasons serves,

And learns without experience.

That loves his body for his soul,

Soul for his mind, his mind for God,

God for himself, and doth control

Content, if it with him be odd.

That rests in action, acting naught

But what is good in deed and show;

That seeks but God within his thought,

And thinks but God to love and know.

That lives too low for envy's looks,

And yet too high for loathed contempt;

That makes his friends good men and books

And naught without them doth attempt.

That ever lives a light to all,

Though oft obscurèd like the sun;

And, though his fortunes be but small,

Yet Fortune doth not seek nor shun.

That never looks but grace to find,

Nor seeks for knowledge to be known;

That makes a kingdom of his mind,

Wherein, with God, he reigns alone.

This man is great with little state,

Lord of the world epitomized,

Who with staid front outfaceth Fate

And, being empty, is sufficed—

Or is sufficed with little, since (at least)

He makes his conscience a continual feast.

— John Davies, of Hereford. 

Power Of Intention - Beware Of The Sting In The Tail

Universal Law Of Paradoxical Intention

To use the power of intention effectively, you need to have a 'whatever will be, will be' attitude. This law is about aligning yourself with the universal laws of success.

It is tied in with giving the things a chance to occur as per the laws of the universe. Eagerness, earnestness and the need to see your want acknowledged, is not a successful method for utilizing the energy of expectation.

To want something is characteristic and solid. Be that as it may, odds are you won't understand your want despite the fact that you need it with everything that is in you.

There are two principle explanations behind this: to start with, why you need what you need. Second, the contemplations you have around what you need.

In the event that the reason is so you can stay aware of the 'Joneses' at that point this want is not unadulterated. It begins from disappointment with what you have and your identity.

At the point when this is the situation, you will discover you will give up anything to accomplish your objective. Counting time with your family; straying into the red; working along hours and even your wellbeing.

This thus will imply that the vitality you transmit to the universe is one of need. Whenever you want something out of distress, you are pushing ceaselessly the very thing you need.

You see, your desperation creates a paradox – or the opposite - of your original intention. This reduces the power of intention which then leads to failure instead of the success you want so much.

Urgency and desperation are completely counterproductive. Instead you need to let go the urgency and trust that when you align yourself with a trusting, giving attitude, the universe will deliver.

If you don't live in trust and belief that the universe will do its job and deliver, then you life becomes one obsessed with what you don't have.

As a result, you miss out on enjoying things you already have. And even though you slave to get the things you want, the feeling that something is missing will persist.

Getting Past The Paradox

It is natural that when you want something, you want it NOW. Instant gratification is a disease most people suffer from. Most of the time it only leads to misery.

If you convince yourself that you can't be happy without what you want: this then becomes your reality. So, how do you harness the power of intention and generate the right vibration to achieve your goal?

You begin by being content with what you have NOW. Surrender to whatever the widespread procedure of indication achieves.

Contemplation will help in settling the Catch 22 in your goals. With ingenuity and assurance, you will have the capacity to bona fide surrender to the present minute.

So relinquishing the franticness is truly the main speedy approach to getting the outcomes you want. You get what you need by realizing that you really require don't it to be upbeat – it is a reward.

A mystery without a doubt, isn't it. Why? Since the standard beginning stage for some is that you need something on the grounds that, at any rate you think, it is the thing that you should be upbeat.

To turn that round and genuinely trust it, is the place the work is. So take a shot at being glad right now, with or without whatever it is you want. At that point there will be no direness in getting the outcomes - you are now glad.

If you are truly unhappy with your life right now, then you need to find out the real reason you feel this way.

You may find the reasons that would never have been solved by what you wanted. Once you find out who you truly are, why you here and how to find happiness.

You then be in the position to be patient, and better able to trust in the universal laws of success. Set you live in optimism and trust, you will find your intentions are more easily realised.

You need to surrender the attachment to the outcome you seek in order to attract the results you want – that is the power of intention.

There are numerous real life stories of couples who tried for a baby for years and when they either adopted one and gave up trying, that’ s when they got pregnant.

Don't have the 'I have asked so where is my stuff?' attitude. Rather have the 'whatever will be, will be' attitude.

What Causes Happiness? - Your Thoughts

What Causes Happiness

I consider bliss the resembling the sun. It is dependably there, continually sparkling unaffected by the climate here on earth.

So your inborn limit with respect to joy is dependably there, in spite of the fact that on occasion it is obfuscated over by the happenings throughout your life. These happenings influence you to overlook that it is dependably there, or even exists.

So it is not so much what causes happiness rather, how can you live your life so that it is less cloudy, less stormy?

How can you find ways to touch, tap and bring much more of it into your daily life?

Awareness

It is troublesome at times to consider joy when things throughout your life demonstrate precisely the inverse. This is the reason care or mindfulness can keep you from going into add up to obscurity, rationally.

Awareness makes you take the attitude, 'okay, today maybe cloudy but I know the sun is there and tomorrow the clouds would have blown over and I will see the sun again.'

Awareness makes you know that the 'sun' is there even at the worst of times.

Causes Of Unhappiness

Trust it or not, the vast majority of the alleged despondency comes from the numbness of not knowing your intrinsic limit with respect to bliss. This combined with the climate examples of your molded personality.

This molding mistakes presumptions for reality. What are these presumptions?

The following are a couple of cases. You may see that they all inside round your reasoning that the reasons for bliss are outside of you.

You may wrongly assume that:

• There is something that needs to happen before you can be happy or fulfilled. You resent the fact that it has not happened and somehow your resentment might make it happen.
• Something happened in your past that should not have happened and you resent that because you feel that if it had not happened, you would be happy now.
• Something is happening now that should not be happening and it is what is preventing you from being happy now

You blame others for you unhappiness:

• They should have done this or that so that you can be at peace. And you resent the fact they have not done it yet. And you think maybe your resentment will make them do it.
• Something somebody did not do in the past is preventing you from being happy now.
• Somebody is doing or not doing something and this is preventing you from being happy. Si it is their fault.

All the suspicions and the faulting influences you to feel like a casualty which you are most certainly not. You have the ability to choose the degree to which you let satisfaction come into your life.

Keep in mind Gandhi asking every one of us to be the change we need to find on the planet. Along these lines, what causes joy, You a Your Thoughts.

You have to begin with you. You will never, ever find enduring satisfaction outside of yourself.

So how do you let your innate happiness shine through? You need to:

• Know yourself
• Recognize the part of you that stands in your way
• How to deal with the mental cloudiness
• Find meaning in your life
• Learn techniques of dealing with the cloudy or stormy days
• Learn any universal laws that contribute to letting your happiness through

Mindfulness and Freedom

More often than not you carry on with your life as though you are simply being pull along. Consider the possibility that you began watching yourself.

Careful living incorporates creating self-perception. For the present on, attempt to watch all that you do as if you were an onlooker – an inward witness.

This self perception at any rate will convey some objectivity to your life. When you begin seeing and scrutinizing your activities and responses, you will take in a great deal about yourself.

Take after the connections on this page to and you will be well on your of getting to wealth and satisfaction that has been and will dependably be yours.

You will find that joy is not a future occasion but rather a present, RIGHT NOW. It involves decision.

So what causes happiness? In a nutshell - knowledge of yourself.

In the first place, it was the questions about whether I was breathing accurately or not. Notwithstanding when I figured out how to center for a couple of moments and began encountering the believing the smoothness, contemplations about different things would come in and I believed I needed to start from the very beginning once more.

It was then I completely valued that reasoning is very nearly an expansion. I understood that when I chose to focus on my breathing, I some way or another felt it was an exercise in futility as there were fascinating things to consider.

The Secret Of Success - Law Of Unwavering Desire

The Law Of Unwavering, Pure Desire

What is the secret of success? In a word: BELIEF.

If you desire something, accept with your entire existence , have unflinching confidence that you have will it or you want is so genuine you that you can nearly 'taste it,' at that point the law of unadulterated want will convey it you.

Underneath each want is an explanation behind that want. Your want might be to be rich. The reason is no doubt is on the grounds that you have encounter absence of cash in your life.

The nature of your want will either obstruct or help your mission to wind up plainly rich. This quality is dictated by the motivation behind why you need what you need.

Your reasons can't be not manipulative, fear based or frantic. Your inspirations must be veritable, solid and for the improvement of you and whatever remains of world.

This means that you accept that whatever will be will be and you are happy with it: that is the secret of success.

This law looks at why you have this desire in the first place. It therefore would be a good idea to first find out who you truly are, why you are here and why you do the things you do.


Fear

The importance of being free from fear can't be exaggerated. Dread blinds you to the mystery of accomplishment. Dread changes the vitality of your inspiration from positive, open vibrations to negative frightful ones.

Instead of being in hope and expectation you end up being in longing and desperation. The faithful law of manifestation will then deliver according to your dominant resonance-fear.

Hope and Belief

Thoughts of hope, excitement, enthusiasm and belief should dominate your thinking in order for you to move freely towards the fulfillment of your desires.

Belief is the most difficult one to master. But it is important that you maintain genuine hope and true belief that what you desire can, will and should.

The resident obstacle to secret of success is that our own thinking easily gravitates toward the HOW question.

At that point questions set in. When you take a gander at your life as it may be, it looks far from where you need it to be.

You begin pondering regardless of whether what you are requesting is unimaginable. These questions at that point progresses toward becoming you vivacious vibration or broadcasting recurrence.

For a period, you will have clashing energies around what you want. At times, you are certain and excited and afterward at different circumstances, you take a gander at the truth of your circumstance, you begin being anxious.

Which of these vibrations will be transmitted to the universe? Well, whichever energy you emit the longest.

Remember, the human mind is wired to look for negatives an enemy of the secret of success.

It is therefore important that you become aware of your negative thoughts around your desire, or life in general. With determination and perseverance, you success will be yours.

You Are Worthy

You prevail in what you want in the event that you think you are not commendable. Why? It is on the grounds that that is the message you will be communicating. You should truly trust that you should have whatever you want.

You learn what you think you deserve, or not, during childhood. So when you desire something that your upbringing says you don't deserve, your conditioned belief plays an influential in you accessing the secret of success.

Question Your Conditioning

To understand the source of your feeling worthiness, or lack of, you need to ask yourself the following questions:

• What criteria did your parents use to decide what you deserve?
• Do you feel you are not good enough in some way?
• Do you have the need to do something in order to prove your worthiness? If so, what?

The aim of the above questions is just to make you realize that these underlying beliefs of self-worth exist and broadcast their signals consistently.

The most important thing you need to know is that: your sense of unworthiness are not the real you.

Whether you deserve something is not determined by either your parents or society at large. Instead, you deserve everything you desire-it is your birthright.

Letting Go

Let go of old conditioned thinking and distortion that up to now, have not served you well. Every time you have a negative thought, ask yourself:

"How would my life be without this thought?"

On the off chance that your existence without THIS conviction will make freedom, at that point you deserve to release it.

It is typical to be so appended to specific convictions that releasing them can be very unnerving however it's a stage you should take to get to the mystery of achievement.

Disposing of penniless convictions and restrictive value are the initial steps to the best freedom of all: opportunity from connections. You finish this through the demonstration of surrender.

You are surrendering to that fact you believe with all your heart that what you desire is possible and will be yours. That is all that is required of you, the universe will do its bit.

So what is the secret of success? UNWAVERING, PURE BELIEF

Laws Of Attraction - You Get What You Put Out

Laws of attraction No.1 - Manifestation

This law expresses that things appear through our musings. Every noticeable thing depend on the imperceptible for their reality.

So, whatever you spend most of your energy and thinking time on, this becomes part of your reality or experience.

Everything exist in the awareness first and after that in the physical. In the event that when you take a gander at your life and all you see is disappointment, hopelessness and enduring.

Then that is what will manifest in your life. If you want to see success, happiness and peace, you need to change your dominant thoughts.

This being the case, you are 100% accountable for the quality of your life. It is therefore your responsibility to make sure that your thoughts are directed to what you intention is.

On the off chance that you don't assume responsibility of your contemplations, you will resemble the a large number of individuals who experience their lives in an oblivious and uphazard way.

It is practically as though they rest stroll through life. They are totally helpless before their adapted propensities andreact out feeling. They are simply making due as opposed to living.

Laws of attraction No.2 - Magnetism

“Every person is surrounded by the thought atmosphere….Through this power we are either attracting or repelling. Like attracts like and …we attract just what we are in mind.” - Ernest Holmes

The principal law was about what you make through your musings. This one is about what you draw in – the energy of vitality. Between them they have the best effect on your life.

The law of attraction is the epitome of 'people with similarities tend to form little niches.' It expresses that you just pull in a similar sort of vitality you put out yourself.

Quantum physics principle states that every thing, including inanimate thing like stones, projects energy.

Apparently, the universe is full of strings of energy that are all around and whether you realize it or not you are part of the exchange that takes place every moment of the day.

So you resemble radio station broadcasting at a specific recurrence. Things, conditions, circumstances and individuals of comparable energies, tune into your flag and discover you.

So on the off chance that it is achievement you need, you have to locate the sort of vitality you ought to be communicating to draw in what you need.

Laws Of Attraction No.3 - Pure Desire

If you desire something, believe with all your heart , have unwavering faith that you have will it or you desire is so real you that you can almost ‘taste it,’ then the law of magnetism will deliver it you.

Underneath each want is a purpose behind that want. In the event that your want is to be rich. The reason is no doubt since you have encountered absence of cash in your life.

It is this reason will either prevent or help the appearance of what you want by uprightness of the vitality vibration you will be emanating. You can't trick laws fascination.

Keeping in mind the end goal to have delight, love and bliss in your life, your want or expectations must be for the accomplishment of the previously mentioned – not manipulative, fear based or edgy.

Your motivations must be genuine, healthy and for the betterment of you and the rest of world. Otherwise even if you get the result you want, a sense of anxiety will remain.

Laws Of attraction No.4 - Paradoxical Intention

Having a 'whatever will be will be' attitude', is what this law is about. This law is about letting the things happen according to the universe's own timeline.
Don’t have the 'I have asked, so where is my stuff?' attitude. Impatience, urgency and the need to see results quickly is counterproductive.

Sometimes the desire to understand your fantasy turns out to be strong to the point that you will give up time with family; stray into the red; work along hours and even our wellbeing. This plainly shows desparation.

This thusly sends a flag of desparation to the universe and the universe matches it. So what you are communicating is really pushing ceaselessly the very thing you need.

So your distress makes a mystery – or the inverse - of your unique aim, consequently prompting disappointment rather than the achievement.

You need to surrender the attachment to the outcome you seek in order to attract the results you want. There are numerous real life stories of couples who tried for a baby for years without success.

When they either adopted one and gave up trying, that’ s when they got pregnant. So you need to give it up to get it.

I know, it is one of the most difficult laws of attraction to accept.

Laws of Attraction No. 5 - Universal Harmony

Einstein apart from being a scientist had great insights about the human mind. Apparently, everything, including humans, is made of energy which is constantly in motion, ever-changing.

This energy vibrates within and around us all of the time, connecting us with each other and with the constant flow of universal energy and events.

Quantum physics is now informing us that this energy is influenced by our thoughts. So with your thoughts you become a creators.

So as one of the creators you are part responsible for shaping, forming and moulding the energy of the universe.

It says that what’s happening on the inside determines what’s happening on the outside. It says that our world is shaped by our thoughts.

So focus your thoughts on what you want to attract. You can literally call into existence whatever you desire. But you first need to harmonise your energies in and around you to those of others and of the universe.

Laws Of Attraction No. 6 - Conscience/Right Action

Two laws of attraction work closely together: this one and the law of magnetism.

The law of right action deals with your treatment of others or to the extent you consider others in your day to day life. It is about treating others as you would like to be treated.

It re-inforces that what you do for others you do for yourself and what you do for yourself you do for others. You get back the same energy you put out to others.

To find true success, which should include happiness, you need to make choices that honour yourself and others. You have to constantly ask yourself, ‘is this choice I am making for good of all, not just me?’

Your feelings will dependably let you know whether what you doing is respecting yourself as well as other people. In the event that it is, you will feel an overrunning feeling of serenity and in the event that it isn't, you will have a feeling of something being not exactly right.

I know that the voice in your head is almost always has ‘I’ at the centre of it. It is sometimes hard to see how you can be fair both to yourself and others.

But it is important that you learn this law of true success, because without it even if things will seem to turn out well, they will lack authenticity.

The energy of honouring is one the strongest attraction force you can broadcast.

Laws Of Attraction No. 7 - Universal Influence

All life is an exchange of energy. It therefore follows that when you interact with other people, your energies mix and when part you leave some of yours behind and you take some of theirs.

The reality of it can be felt when you enter a room where some disagreement has taken place. You ‘sense’ immediately the ‘tension in the air.’ Even if when you came in you were feeling joyous the strength of the pervading energy saps yours.

So good or bad, emotional energies are contagious. Your energies goes out to bond with those that are similar.

Since vigorous impacts extend on the planet, you would not need some individual with counterproductive vibrations spreading their energies to you.

When you pick love , amicability, tranquility of your brain, this grows and influences other individuals accordingly quickening the minding and cherishing vitality on the planet.

Meditation Techniques - "Get To Know You" Methods

1. Transcendental Meditation (TM)

Simply put: it is one of the reflection methods that helps 'relax' the brain. This is a specific type of the mantra contemplation systems; and there are numerous. The redundancy of the mantra turns your brain inside itself.

It helps you to calm the mind until you reach a 'chill spot.' Sports people can it 'the zone.'

It can be self-taught or can learnt be with guidance from an expert. The recommended duration is about 20 minutes morning and evening each day.

Once know how to do it, it is easy, effortless, yet supremely a profound technique. You are give a mantra, taught how to use it and off you go.

Unlike other meditation techniques, TM does not involve contemplation or concentration. The goal is to calm and free the mind so as to reach the root of thought.

The sensations involved with TM include a feeling that one transcended the body. It allows your mind to progressively abstract fields of awareness.

Ultimately, you settle down in the space between your thoughts. This space, between your thoughts, is pure consciousness, a field of possibilities, a field of creativity but it is also a field of uncertainty.

It is a field where intention actualizes it own fulfillment. TM technique allows you to access this field; the primordial and the ground state of your existence.

At the source of thought, you experience this field of pure bliss, pure consciousness, pure creativity, pure intelligence and pure love.

Your experiencing it enlivens this field and makes it grow. You start unfolding your full potential and becoming more powerful from the inside.

TM has nothing to do with religion but it is not against religion. People from any religion use TM.

Although on the surface we are different, we are like flowers in the garden. At soil level we all feed from the same source.

TM is like a flower diving within, going to the roots and experiencing all the nutrients in the soil can offer.

This experience is what you are meant have; it is the self and it is so familiar yet, so beautiful. Every human being should have this experience. You are born to have this experience.

2. Guided Meditation

This is when you are guided through the meditation process. I talk about two techniques:

First Approach

You listen to a professional on a CD or read your own and play it back to yourself. You are lead in through the process and you are expected to follow.
The idea is to let go of any thoughts you may have and allow your subconscious mind to follow the words that are spoken.

The guided communication may dwell upon this topic in slow, sweet, persuasive manner.

This leads you to really accept and encounter the procedure and understand the rapture because of that traveling in creative ability. It doesn't permit you psyche to wander off.

The guided contemplation may enable you to find in your internal world and grow new viewpoints on taking a gander at your life, connections and its issues.

If you are new at meditation, you may need guided meditation to keep your mind on track. Also, even if you fall asleep whilst meditating, you will still benefit from it subconsciously.

Second Approach

Guided meditation may take the form of positive affirmations (mantras) or involve the use of sweet, calming, melodious and emotional music which may be either instrumental or vocal.
You may be asked to repeatedly affirm that:

“The breath I am taking in is re-energizing me.”

Sweet music has the power to mould the mind and help in concentration. You feel uplifted with joy, peace and bliss that is altogether different from the fake and fleeting pleasures of this world.

You will find that guided meditation becomes an integral, easy and natural part of your thinking habits. Then guidance may not be needed.

It is a good idea to try out other meditation techniques to find which suits you most.

3. Buddhist Meditation

Buddhist meditation is a mental exercise that helps in having a clear state of mind. Feeling detached from everything is the path to a clear mind.
Imagine having complete control over your mind, your thoughts, instead of the other way around. It is amazing what you can do when you are mentally focused.

If you are disciplined enough, this is one of the meditation techniques that can give you that power. If you can master your mind, you can master anything!

Buddhism compares an untrained mind to a monkey that jumps from one tree branch to another. It is never still, constantly moving.

Thoughts are very much like that, darting from one random idea to another. So Buddhist meditation is the training of the monkey.

Not at all like some reflection systems, this is a taught rehearse and should be done all the time to appreciate the great impacts at the forefront of your thoughts, body and soul.

As it were, preparing yourself to know about the flood of considerations and after that quieting them down, at that point thinking. There are no stresses, no association with this physical world, no considerations.

I think of it as a way to “retire” my mind, if even for only a few minutes a day, from the world.

Instead of taking a vacation once a year to free your mind and body from the daily stresses and anxieties: gain control over your thoughts and feelings and you can do it every day.

4. Zen Meditation

Zen Meditation or Zazen is a part of Zen Buddhism. Zazen means ‘sitting meditation’ and is usually done in a variety of sitting postures.
