Your mind is constantly filled with thoughts—and that’s why learning to focus on the present moment takes practice. Sitting meditation trains you to clear your mind of wandering thoughts, helping you stay present and focused.

Zen meditation can be incredibly boring. For most people new to it, it is incredibly boring.
There have been periods of my life when it wasn't for me.
Also, not all forms of meditation are good for all people. My own Zen Master suggested chanting meditation for another person when I put a problem to him. Chanting meditation has the ability to keep you in the here and now more than sitting meditation.
This being said, I'm still offering virtual mediation to autistic people (or people willing to tolerate us). We're going to just be sitting. It starts this weekend on Saturday and Sunday morning.
No chanting for now, even though doing chanting meditation can be absolutely wonderful.
