quick and easy zen meditation

most people are clueless as to what meditation is so sitting in my chair last night after spraying the weeds on the drive under a red led headlamp in the still air i thought well here's the easy way

sit in a straight backed chair comfortably

let you hands rest palms up on the top of the thighs near the crotch

maybe the eyelids should be a bit lowered

stay there with minimal movement for half an hour

if you want to continue, get up, do some stretches and move a bit then go back as to before

do not count the breath, do crazy visualisations or mumble mantras

there, you are now a deeply sophisticated "spiritual person" who can "talk the talk" with the best of the soto zen masters

edit: a commenter has just asked about listening to music (and "guidance" tapes) and my answer is definitely don't, you are overwriting your thoughts with some-one else's
