ZC 2122: Under Open Skies: How to Meditate Outside
Jul 15, 2025

In today’s episode of Zen Commuter, we take our practice beyond four walls and into the wide embrace of nature. Meditating outside offers a unique opportunity to reconnect—not just with the present moment, but with the world around us. Whether it’s a quiet park bench, a forest trail, or your own backyard, outdoor meditation invites you to soften your senses, anchor your awareness, and find peace in the rhythm of the natural world. I’ll share how to begin, what to notice, and how to embrace whatever sounds or sensations arise—yes, even the distractions.

ZC 2118: A Family, Maybe: Zen, Identity, and the Stories That Shape Us
Jun 17, 2025

On Day Five of our special Tricycle Week, we explore the article "Making Life Your Practice" by Ken McLeod—a deeply practical and inspiring reminder that spiritual growth doesn’t just happen on the cushion. This piece reframes our everyday experiences—both the mundane and the messy—as the very terrain of awakening.

In today’s episode, I reflect on McLeod’s powerful encouragement to drop the divide between “practice time” and “real life.” Whether we’re standing in line, facing conflict, or simply washing dishes, every moment holds the potential to wake us up. When we bring awareness, presence, and intention to our daily activities, life itself becomes our path.
