Hopefully you enjoyed these sessions. I would welcome you to join me. Practice makes permanent when you practice mindful meditation exercises.
Our own feedback from members is great for these sessions. We asked participants to list some positives in their lives and here's one example of the type of reply we get:
"In all seriousness, I could easily do at least 10 of my positives are Zen02 related".
This great to hear and back up governmental reviews of mindfulness-based physical exercise interventions have shown that it is proven to improve fatigue, sleep, anxiety, depression, distress and quality of life (source).
As well as this scientific data, we have our own anecdotal evidence. There are people from far and wide - who might otherwise never meet in person, know each other personally due to the magic of today's technology.
Think of our 'Easy Like Sunday Morning' as a non-pressured clear zone where nothing matters apart from living in the moment and celebrating your clear vision of what my Japanese karate masters used to say "accept" - "relax" (with lovely Japanese accents and the warm friendly, smiling faces of the teachers. Yes, I learned mindfulness through traditional karate - fighting!
My Shotokai karate is different to modern sports karate. Yes, it's a fighting skill through and through, but concerned with arming us for what life could throw at us under any kind of stres and conflicts and growing us as individuals and growing us towars enlightenment.
Our shoulders would lower, our breathing would deepen, a warm smile would come into our being, a light would come into our inner eye and we would be ready for those punches coming at us left and right.
A great analogy for life, right?
