“The common suffering is the alienation from oneself, from one’s fellow man, and from nature; the awareness that life runs out of one’s hand like sand, and that one will die without having lived; that one lives in the midst of plenty and yet is joyless.”
― Erich Fromm, Psychoanalysis and Zen Buddhism
Psi Zen
Psi Zen is a form of spiritual therapy which integrates Zen principles with modern psychology, with the goal of calibrating your perspective towards yourself and your life.
This unique Zen Therapy uses psychological science to apply the teachings and methods of Zen Buddhism and Taoism in your daily life.
Psi Zen aims to help you meet your "real self" - the you which is above and beyond the limitations of who you think you are.
Throughout the process, you discover the nature of your being, let go of the attachment to your opinions about yourself, and learn how to live in accordance with your natural flow.
Thus, you eliminate the suffering which you inflict on yourself by trying to dictating how the life should be, and experience the joy of embracing your true self.
“The meaning of life is just to be alive. It is so plain and so obvious and so simple. And yet, everybody rushes around in a great panic as if it were necessary to achieve something beyond themselves.”
― Alan Watts
