What is Zen meditation?

Zen meditation (Zazen) is a simple, seated practice that invites you to be fully present — just body, breath, and awareness.

Just sitting

You sit in a stable, relaxed posture and simply stay with the present moment, letting thoughts come and go like clouds in the sky.

Soft focus

Attention rests gently on your breath, posture, or a quiet point in front of you. When the mind wanders, you notice it and come back.

Practice over perfection

There is no need to “meditate perfectly.” Zen is about showing up, sitting down, and meeting yourself as you are, one breath at a time.

How I am Zen supports Zen-inspired practice

Traditional Zen meditation doesn’t need an app at all — just posture, breath, and awareness. I am Zen is designed as a gentle bridge for modern life: a simple visual rhythm that helps you stay with your breath instead of getting pulled into endless scrolling.

A single point of focus

The breathing count and subtle motion act like a soft anchor for your attention, similar to watching a candle flame or listening to a steady bell.

Guidance as “training wheels”

Visual cues and affirmations offer gentle structure at the beginning. Over time, you can rely less on the screen and more on your own awareness.

Space to simply sit

I am Zen encourages short, focused sessions so you can pause, breathe, and then return to your day feeling a little clearer

Made for calm, everyday moments

Designed for quiet pauses in your day — morning or night, at home or on the go. I am Zen keeps the experience simple, gentle, and focused, so you can return to your breath and feel a little lighter in just a few minutes.
