Hi friends, here is a new video I made for my Youtube channel about the history and practice of Sitting in Forgetting, a popular Daoist Meditation style:

This weekend behind the paywall I’m sharing Chen Yingning’s entire essay “Summary of Stillness Skill” a discussion of multiple types of quiet meditation including Chen’s Zhuangzi Zhai Xin Fa which I mentioned in the video. There are also two other methods, one practiced by the poet Su Dongpo and another originally practiced by Neo-Concucian Zhu Xi. This is a great piece of teaching material and a perfect time to subscribe, especially since you can view it using the seven day free trial with no pressure to stay if you don’t want to! :)
