I find that it's not difficult to do this in meditation. But then when the realities, stresses, and emotions of the real world hit - this state of being is lost. Most of the time just forgotten.

I guess it's just a matter of long-term practice, but I'm not there yet.

Thank you for transporting me how to apply Mushin in daily life, @zezhenya. I appreciate the thought and care you put into your work. It’s rare to come across writing that both inspires and provides practical wisdom. I may have practiced it through activities that encourage a flow state or stillness. This is something I have been adding more of into my life.

To honor your contribution, you inspired me to write on this matter. I’d love to mention your work. I look forward to more talks on mental stillness and flow!

Heartwarming to know your work is helping to inspire others, Zhenya, which I am sure, including myself. 😌 The wisdom you share has given me fresh perspective. It intertwines with my work, which makes me feel that I am in the right direction too.

I can fully relate to you; many paths exist to apply mushin and achieve stillness, clarity, and flow. I believe in that. The flow of life itself can be one of the most profound ways to achieve it. Also, activities that connect the body and mind in a flow state of the present.

I can see we have a lot of points in common, including cultural references too. I am grateful for the continued exchange of ideas. Conversations like this make me feel at home, grounded, and inspired in life and contribute to the flow of ideas I have in mind.

Same here! I very much look forward to exchange ideas with you. Thank you so much. Looking forward to diving deeper into the topic of stillness in one of my upcoming pieces!
