In pop culture being Zen just means chilling out. In reality Zen Buddhism is one of the most hardcore, metal, and intense spiritual practices out there. Enter the idea of the Hara (腹 - meaning stomach or belly).
If you had to pinpoint where your sense of self is located inside of your body you would probably say your head. The normal person’s their sense of self or “I” is located where their brain is located.
The idea that you have to “descend to transcend” isn’t a metaphor in Zen, it’s a literal thing you to do.
Settling into the Hara is the practice of bringing your sense of self from your head into your actual center - where gravity is most equal inside your body.
To do so you must muster up the strength to, through concentration, literally move the perception of your consciousness from your head into your belly.
There are a lot of reasons for the practice but one stands out above all. By moving downward towards your center attention stops circulating in the head. By moving away from your head it’s easier to no longer confuse yourself with your thoughts.
It’s not until you paradoxically move away from the divine light of animation, rationale, and logic that such traits become truly and fully embodied.
tbf I also had to survive in the poverty capital of the world 💀 but I keep telling myself I’ll eventually start creating again.. it’s been about 4 years now and I’m scared it might be turning into a pipe dream
one of the worst things that’s happened to me in my late 20s/early 30s is losing interest in stuff I was so passionate about just five years ago.. I’m ngl it bothers me
