So you were a practitioner of Zen Buddhism? Nice. How long did you keep it up? Was there more to the practise than meditation? Was the teacher good?
I did it for a few years, around the time my daughters mother went complete batshit crazy, so probably around '96 to '99. I had a good friend who was studying psychology around that time, and he had been practicing Zazen for many years. He guided me through most of it. The different chakras, koans, and things I've mostly forgotten since then. It was a good way to keep my sanity during those times, but it also had a lasting effect and centered me from that point on in my life.
