Southampton Meditation and Qi Gong Class




Meditation


Meditation in Chinese is called Ch’an, in Japanese it is called Zen. What is Ch’an? A rough, non-contextual translation is 'not phased'. This means the state of being indifferent to temptation and destructive outer forces. When meditating, your mind should be peaceful and empty, your heart should be relaxed and calm, and you should not feel annoyance or allow yourself to be distracted. This state is called Ch’an. Read more about Ch’an Meditation.
