Nezen
The cycles of the natural world and the biological rhythms within us were never meant to be separate. Sleep is the most familiar and intimate experience where these two become one.
NEZEN sees the evenings as a place where silence and presence intersect.
No special effort is required. Simply lie down, and allow yourself the time to return to your natural rhythm.
What NEZEN offers is a contemporary reinterpretation of ancient Zen wisdom-simple practices designed to bring the mind and body back into balance.

They are performed while lying in your bed or futon, in the very posture of sleep.
Gently count your natural breath, or simply observe the subtle sensations within your body. In doing so, allow yourself to settle into stillness.
If you drift into sleep along the way, that is perfectly natural-indeed, it is part of the flow.
Use this practice as a quiet interlude before sleep, or as a way to return to calm on evenings when you find yourself awake —an invitation to rest in a gentle silence."

Susokukan : Counting your breaths
Continue breathing at your own natural pace.
As you exhale, quietly count each breath in your mind.
Count "one" as you breathe out, inhale, then "two" as you breathe out… continuing this cycle up to ten.
Once you reach ten, return to one and start again.
If you lose track of the count or find your mind wandering, do not worry—simply return to one and begin again.
There is no need to force a deep breath. If it feels comfortable, try to feel the gentle movement of your abdomen
(though there is no need to focus on this if it feels difficult).
There is no set time.
Continue until your mind feels settled, or until you naturally drift off to sleep.
