DAY 8: The Ancient Three-Times Practice – When Sitting Still Becomes Sacred
Today you’ll master the profound art of seiza – sitting still in a way that harmonizes your body, mind, and breath while your hands in gassho become conduits for the KI rising from your hara (deep belly) as you recite each waka.
You’re about to discover why ancient sages reflected three times daily on their lives, and how this simple practice of “stopping” (as Buddhist teacher Pema Chodron calls it) becomes your most powerful tool for recalibrating and finding balance in our chaotic modern world.
Empress Shoken’s wisdom today invites you to join the lineage of those enlightened beings who understood that true clarity comes not from thinking more, but from the sacred pause that allows your kokoro (heart-mind) to reconnect with its deepest knowing.
