Do you feel overwhelmed by your to-do list and the constant deluge of information from all quarters? Are you unhappy with your life and envious of those around you? At times like these it's important to step back and take a breath. Zen meditation may conjure up images of sitting in silence for long hours, but according to Buddhist monk and author Shinsuke Hosokawa, Zen can be summed up as "the knowledge needed for a person to live life with a positive outlook." With this in mind, he has produced this charmingly illustrated collection of thoughts and sayings to help you live life with less stress and anxiety. The sayings include: Pay attention to what is right in front of your eyes Nothing happens by chance. Every encounter has its meaning Be careful not to confuse the means and the purpose Keep flowing just like water Nothing will control you Even a bad day is a good day Check the ground beneath your feet when you're in trouble You'll never walk alone These 52 mindful sayings mirror the 52 steps traditionally taken to achieve Buddhist enlightenment, and they also coincide with the 52 weeks of the year--passing through the seasons, both in the natural world and our lives. Each page has an illustration and a simple, meditative reflection to help you see into your own heart, accept your current state of being, reduce anxiety and find peace.

A principal part of the Taoist canon for many centuries, this Lao-Tzu classic is an essential overview of the Taoist practice of internal alchemy, or qigong Equanimity, good health, peace of mind, and long life are the goals of the ancient Taoist tradition known as “internal alchemy,” of which Cultivating Stillness is a key text. Written between the second and fifth centuries, the book is attributed to T’ai Shang Lao-chun—the legendary figure more widely known as Lao-Tzu, author of the Tao-te Ching. The accompanying commentary, written in the nineteenth century by Shui-ch’ing Tzu, explains the alchemical symbolism of the text and the methods for cultivating internal stillness of body and mind. A key text in the Taoist canon, Cultivating Stillness is still the first book studied by Taoist initiates today.

Imagine this: You're sitting cross-legged on a comfy cushion, eyes gently closed, and the world outside your mind seems to melt away. No deadlines, no traffic jams, no endless to-do lists - just you, your breath, and the soft hum of existence. That, my friend, is the Zen of meditation. In this fast-paced, constantly buzzing world, finding your inner calm can be like searching for a needle in a haystack. But that's where meditation comes in, like a soothing balm for the soul. It's not about blocking out the chaos; it's about embracing it and finding serenity within. Think of your mind as a turbulent ocean. The waves of thoughts crash relentlessly, one after another. Meditation is your lifeboat. When you sit down to meditate, it's not about stopping those waves; it's about learning to surf them. You ride those thoughts like a seasoned surfer riding a big wave. You don't fight them; you let them come and go, observing them without judgment. Here's the kicker: You don't need to be in a pristine temple on a mountaintop to meditate. You can do it right here, right now, in the midst of your chaotic life. Just close your eyes, take a deep breath, and let it out slowly. That's your ticket to the Zen zone. Meditation is like a mental gym. With practice, you strengthen your mind's resilience. As you meditate regularly, you start to notice something remarkable: the chaos doesn't disappear, but your reaction to it changes. Traffic jams become opportunities to practice patience. Work deadlines become chances to flex your focus muscles. And that never-ending to-do list? Well, it starts to feel more like a to-do guideline. The Zen of meditation isn't about escaping reality; it's about transforming your relationship with it. It's about becoming the calm in the storm, the eye of the hurricane. You learn to appreciate the chaos for what it is - a beautiful, messy part of life. So, next time life throws a curveball your way, remember your secret weapon: meditation. Whether you find solace for five minutes or an hour, it's your sanctuary in the midst of life's whirlwind. It's your way of saying, "I've got this," as you navigate the chaos with grace and serenity. It's your path to finding peace, not by running away from the storm but by finding it within yourself. Welcome to the Zen of meditation, my friend. It's a journey worth taking.

A highly original and groundbreaking book from a noted PGA coach and Buddhist instructor • “The lessons in Zen Golf make the mental game seem so simple. Dr. Parent has given me very effective methods for working with thoughts and emotions, and for taking the negatives out of the picture.” —Vijay Singh, Masters and PGA Champion By combining classic insights and stories from Zen tradition, Zen Golf helps eliminate the mental distractions that routinely cause poor shots and loss of concentration, allowing golfers to feel in “the zone” that professionals have learned to master. The best players know that golf is a game of confidence, and most important, concentration–the ability to focus and block out distraction. The goal of achieving clear thought is also at the heart of Buddhist teachings. PGA coach and Buddhist instructor Dr. Joseph Parent draws on this natural connection and teaches golfers how to clear their minds, achieve ultimate focus, and play in the moment for each shot. Zen Golf presents a simple system for building “mental game mastery.” Dr Parent’s unique PAR Approach (focusing on Preparation, Action, and Response to Results) guides golfers with specific techniques for each aspect of their games. In chapters such as “How to Get From the Practice Tee to the First Tee”, “You Produce What You Fear”, and “How to Enjoy a Bad Round of Golf”, the author shares a personal teaching regimen that has helped improve the games of professionals and amateurs alike. Clear, concise, and enlightening, Zen Golf shows golfers how to prepare for, execute, and equally important, respond the results of any golf shot. A different approach to golf instruction, this book shapes ancient philosophies into new teachings.

If you believe in time you know you only have so much time before you die. Knowing this, the person who believes in time should, without question, or doubt, believe that one should make the best use of one's time-living live to the fullest and in the most positive way possible. But why don't we? How many times throughout your day do you hear a criticism or someone self-doubting themselves or limiting others through their negativity and criticism-maybe even you. We hear it all too often. The problem is we've become conditioned as a humanity to accept it as natural. Perhaps you've heard someone through out in coversation: "Don't mind him. It's his nature to criticize." Or, "She's always negative." Or, "Naturally he wants what's best for you-you should listen to him (hearing him all the while cuss you out or stomp on your dreams). We don't have to accept anything as natural that is not. It is not natural to be negative or critical; it is learned behaviour. Natural is what we want to get back to by aligning our behaviour and throughts in a way that reflects the peace and tranquillity found in nature. Listen to the rain drops. Listen to the waves come in to shore. Listen to the birds chirping. See the sun setting. See the clouds drifting by. See the leaves falling from the trees. Feel the warm glow of the sun on your skin. Feel the cool wind blow. Feel the comfort of simply being you. Experience the Zen that comes over you through meditating silently and peacefully and still. Nature has a lot to offer us. Criticism and negativity do not offer and so the argument is: why be critical and why be negative? This book will teach you how to find your Zen. You won't have to convert to Buddhism. You won't have to spend a bunch of money on yoga mats and Pilates blocks. You won't have to purchase an airline ticket to some spiritual place halfway around the world. No. You only need to read this book and meditate on its teachings. That's all. Grab Your Copy Now!

From the team that brought you The Obstacle Is the Way and Ego Is the Enemy, a daily devotional of Stoic meditations—an instant Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestseller. Why have history's greatest minds—from George Washington to Frederick the Great to Ralph Waldo Emerson, along with today's top performers from Super Bowl-winning football coaches to CEOs and celebrities—embraced the wisdom of the ancient Stoics? Because they realize that the most valuable wisdom is timeless and that philosophy is for living a better life, not a classroom exercise. The Daily Stoic offers 366 days of Stoic insights and exercises, featuring all-new translations from the Emperor Marcus Aurelius, the playwright Seneca, or slave-turned-philosopher Epictetus, as well as lesser-known luminaries like Zeno, Cleanthes, and Musonius Rufus. Every day of the year you'll find one of their pithy, powerful quotations, as well as historical anecdotes, provocative commentary, and a helpful glossary of Greek terms. By following these teachings over the course of a year (and, indeed, for years to come) you'll find the serenity, self-knowledge, and resilience you need to live well.
