I found that if I wrote them down they’d leave my thought-space and I was free to continue the practice after that. I’ve filled up countless books now and wanted to share with anyone who finds their way here. Here also are some poems, and thoughts about koans peppered in. Everything is original and unique, that’s the only rule I have for myself.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n If you’re interested in getting started in meditation, I recommend a Theravada Buddhism<\/a> approach to start, and to follow the 16 steps of Anapanasati<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Emails can be sent to boxwoodzen@boxwoodzen.com<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Please take a look at the menu on the right.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hey, you made it.\u00a0Check out the menu at the top right of your screen.\u00a0It’s important that you’re here and come back as often as you like.\u00a0 If you’re unsure about something in your life, look through the menu and select a page.
