In “Letting Go is Holding Gently” Rev. Clairissa considers how we may approach “letting go” in Buddhist practice. 

She suggests some ways to move beyond ideals of “letting go,” toward a deeper stillness within, in the living of real life.

The article quoted, “Every-minute Meditation” by Rev. Master Daizui MacPhillamy, sets out a step-by-step approach to mindfulness practice in everyday life. If you have not done formal working meditation in a Sōtō Zen temple, you may wish to read this short article prior to listening to Rev. Clairissa’s recorded talk.
