Zen Breathing

Zen breathing, often called “zazen” or seated meditation breathing, involves slow, deliberate inhalations and exhalations to cultivate mindfulness and mental clarity. The practice emphasizes observing the breath as it naturally flows, helping to anchor attention in the present moment. This focused breathing promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and fosters a state of calm awareness. It’s not about controlling the breath forcefully but about allowing it to unfold naturally, creating a meditative rhythm that supports mental stillness and emotional balance. Zen breathing can be practiced sitting quietly, often in a meditation posture, to deepen mindfulness and inner harmony.
