Japanese mindset: Zazen- The Japanese Zen practice of sitting still and learning to let the mind be

Japanese mindset: Zazen is a form of seated meditation that focuses on observing thoughts and feelings without judgment. Practitioners learn to let thoughts arise, pass, and return to their breath over time. The emphasis is on repetition and observing the mind rather than seeking instant transformations. This practice can change the way people experience their thoughts and emotions, fostering a different relationship with stillness.
