CONTINUING FROM MARCH 11, 2025:

MORE ZENITUDE…
(guided by Joseph Emet)

The “Magic of Zenitude” sessions will continue after the Winter Break (March 4). THUS, NO MEDITATION ON MARCH 4.
The sessions will resume from Tuesday March 11 on.

Here are 3 reasons for joining this group:

In addition to insight into Zenitude, these sessions make available group support for your meditation practice. Many folks do not like to meditate alone—with good reason:

“Benefits of meditation observed in group settings are not replicated when people meditate alone,” observes a 2014 study in the National Library of Medicine website.

Other studies found that that group meditation leads to deeper levels of relaxation and a greater sense of inner peace than meditating alone. In my personal experience, this effect is stronger for beginners.

A third reason is because Meditation calms the mind; the mind is like the surface of the water in a pond: If the water is calm, it reflects the moon truly, as it is. If the surface is agitated, it reflects it as broken into pieces; the moon may even appear to be dancing!

Meditation allows us to see things as they are.

Joseph’s Zen app is a good resource for 7 short guided meditations.
Find it on the App store on your phone under Zen: Awakening to Well-being.

THE MAGIC OF ZENITUDE
guided by Joseph Emet.

STARTING FEBRUARY 4, 2025:

Wictionary defines Zenitude as “A form of calm tranquility experienced by followers of Zen Buddhism.” It hasn’t quite seeped into common usage, yet we need that word: we have invented the word Cool that expresses many of its features. However, Cool also means Trendy. It can refer to stuff like clothes and cars in addition to the state of mind of a person.

With Zenitude we observe what’s happening ‘inside’ the mind, as well as ‘outside’, around us, all without losing our cool. This makes it possible to respond effectively to circumstances, rather than simply to react to them. Having disturbing thoughts and emotions under disturbing circumstances simply means that we are human. With the acceptance that zenitude brings, we are not stressed by our own thoughts and feelings.
