elfsTwelve minutes seems to be an odd place in the Zazen routine. As I meditate, I start to wonder when that damn doan chime (meditation alarm) is ever going to go off, and when it does I stop and think to myself, "Is that it?"
Next week, I'll up the rate to 15 minutes.
I don't think I'm doing it right. Yeah, I sit still and alternate between doing heavy visualizations and trying to do traditional zazen, but there's too much clutter in my head, too many characters and projects and tasks and distractions. Getting them to shut up is hard work.
