I enjoyed reading your article, Zhenya. I would love to hear your thoughts on how we can apply "mushin" in daily life, outside of meditation or archery. This is a new concept for me.

Last month, I wrote the reflection below:

An archery master like Kenzo realized this by the early 1900s. The skills required to master this activity were:

1. Focus

2. Patience

3. Breathing

4. Persistence

5. Clarity

... and most of all, the ability to let go. It can also apply to life if we pause and reflect on it.

On your article, thanks for sharing such meaningful insights. Looking forward to your next one! I enjoy learning from ancient, off-the-beaten-path cultures and applying some their ideas to today.

Hah yes! So in a way, don't overthink it and try to just be. Thank you :)
