This is an advice from my friend Hyon Mun Sunim, a Zen monk living in the mountains in Korea.Our life pace is getting faster and faster every day.
It's especially obvious in the big cities like Hong Kong and New York.
How to slow down?
The one thing you can try right away is to slow down your breath, since you have to keep breathing all the time.
By slowing down your breath and breathing with your lower belly you can accumulate more energy and balance your thinking, emotions and will power.
Below you can see a video with another monk Myong Haeng Sunim. He is giving instructions for breathing exercises called Soen Yu. Please try it.

I have lived in Shanghai for last 6 years so have very little chance of group practice. But hope to gain back the discipline to keep practice as part of my daily life. Please send my regards to everyone in the zen center. Carol Choi
