Winter Mind Guided Meditation with Mantra & Crystal Bowls | Boston | Somerville

Winter Mind Meditation is a live guided Zen meditation led by Zen Master Sebastian Rizzon, exploring stillness, light, and renewal through the quiet energy of winter.

This meditation is designed for anyone seeking deep rest, mental clarity, and emotional grounding during times of slowing down, uncertainty, or transition. Using traditional Zen practice, this session gently guides you through:
• Breath awareness and quiet sitting
• Mantra meditation
• Crystal bowl sound meditation
• A contemplative Zen koan rooted in winter
• Resting in awareness beyond thought

Rather than striving or fixing, this meditation invites the mind to settle naturally, the way snow settles on the ground after a storm. Thoughts are allowed to arise and pass without resistance, revealing the clear awareness that remains underneath.

This session is especially supportive if you are exploring:

• Zen meditation and Buddhist practice
• Mindfulness and awareness beyond thought
• Stress relief and nervous system regulation
• Compassion-based mantra meditation
• Sound meditation with crystal bowls
• Seasonal reflection and beginning again
