Episode Description from the Publisher

🪷 This meditation is a practice that you can take with you far beyond these next few minutes and into your everyday life. Shoshin is the Zen practice of “beginner’s mind,” inviting us to approach our experiences with openness and curiosity, as though we were experiencing them for the very first time. ⁠Download the Free Shoshin Guide Here ⁠ My question to you as you begin this meditation: what might change if you looked at your relationships, your work, or even the obstacles you face with fresh eyes? Sometimes, Shoshin is all we need to shift our perspective. Through this practice, you’ll explore what happens when you loosen your grip on what you think you already know, bringing a little more curiosity, excitement, and playfulness into the ordinary moments of your life. (P.S., This is a great meditation to do outdoors!)  With love, Jo * No part of this meditation script, voiceover, or editing was created using AI. :)  __ Explore more from A Zen Mind  Join me on ⁠Instagram⁠ 💖  ⁠ azenmindglobal.com⁠ Ad-free + extended episodes on ⁠Patreon⁠ Join the ⁠email list⁠  — Our Partners Mental Health Support: Talkiatry Online psychiatry with licensed providers and personalized, evidence-based care — all from home.
