What is Zazen (Zen Meditation)？
Zazen is a training in Zen Buddhism, in which one meditates deeply while sitting in a correct posture, in order to enter a spiritual state of nothingness.
Benefits of doing zazen
Zazen is an ancient Japanese method of
refreshing the mind.
By sitting up straight and breathing slowly through the abdominal muscles, the mind calms down and the distractions disappear.
It is also a stress reliever.
In addition, various studies have shown that there is scientific support for Zazen. The key word is "serotonin”.
Zazen, which involves concentrated abdominal breathing, causes the secretion of serotonin. The secret of how zazen refreshes the body and mind lies in the function of serotonin.
