A few questions from Jason in the email box:<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cHow does zazen\/mindfulness impact thinking in everyday life?\u00a0Is there some effect?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

With mindfulness we know where we are \u2013 suffering \u2013 and it transforms our life.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
With zazen we wholeheartedly just live whether there is an effect or not.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
