Zen Meditation (Zazen):

This was Buddha’s meditation technique, and is the technique that is mostly used in our days, the secret of zazen does not lie in the awareness of the inhalation or the exhalation.  It lies in the gap in between these breaths.  It lies when the breath is spontaneously suspended.  It is in this gap where the mysteries of the Universe are hidden.  This gap and the gap between 2 thoughts are best friends, and in this silence between 2 thoughts the absolute is revealed.  Don’t try to force this pause, just continue with your zazen, it will come about naturally. 

the benefits are endless, to get you excited about trying it I’ll list a few:
