Mindfulness is a spin off modality of Zen meditation, it was created itself from Buddhism. Zen cookery is an expression of zen and so are many other ways of being here in the present. Zen is a wonderful expression of being here....being in the now or present... this course will teach you something very unique and like valuable. If you want to try meditating, Zen is a wonderful first step. If you have thoughts that are running your life and these thoughts are negatively effecting you, this type of meditation and practice can help. And if you like cookery as much as me, you will value this course in taking your cooking or any hobby you have to another level. Zen is a way of being able to cope much more easily with the ups and downs that are presented to us routinely in this process we call life. Anyone can benefit from any form of Zen modality. It is a huge step into creating a better and more peaceful state of mind. If you are already a meditator and even if you are not, you will learn a lot of very interesting information and facts about Zen. I hope you enjoy the course.
