INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Zazen is a form of meditation that's traditionally done in Zen Buddhist temples or monasteries, but you can try it in any quiet location. Try sitting in a room by yourself, or positioning yourself outside (if you don't find the sounds of nature too disruptive). On the floor, ground, or on a cushion, sit in a lotus or half-lotus position, with your knees bent and your feet resting on or near the opposite thighs. Keep your chin tucked in, head tilted down, and your eyes gazing at a point two to three feet in front of you. It's important to keep your spine straight but relaxed and your hands folded loosely together over your belly. You can even sit in a chair as long as you keep your spine straight, your hands folded, and your gaze on that point 2 to 3 feet in front of you. During zazen meditation eyes are kept half-closed so that the meditator is not influenced by outside forces but is not completely shutting them out either. Focus on fully expanding your lungs as you breathe in and deflating them as much as possible when you exhale. "Nonthinkingness" is the concept of remaining in the present moment and not dwelling on anything for too long. Try to imagine the world passing you by slowly and acknowledging what's happening without letting it affect your own sense of well-being. If you're struggling with nonthinkingness, try to focus only on your breathing. This should help you relax as other thoughts fall away from your mind. "Nonthinkingness" is similar to practicing mindfulness in that you concentrate on breathing and relaxing without a mantra. Some monks practice zazen for extended periods of time, but for yourself, try starting with five- or 10-minute sessions with a goal of building up to 20 or 30 minutes. Set a timer or alarm to alert you when time is up. Don't feel bad if you have trouble at first. Your mind might wander, you might start thinking of other things, or you might even fall asleep. All of these are normal. Have patience and keep practicing. Eventually you'll get it. Don't try to snap yourself out of meditation or hop up and get right back to work. Allow yourself to emerge slowly. You can do this by starting to notice outside stimuli (the sound of birds singing, for instance). Bring yourself back into the present moment. Studies on Zazen meditation and the synchronization of breathing and heartbeat have suggested a high correlation between mediation and your cardio-pulmonary health. Further, these results were observed in patients that have never meditated before.

SUMMARY: Find a quiet setting. Sit in a zazen posture. Keep your eyes half-closed. Breathe deeply and slowly. Practice nonthinkingness. Start with small intervals. Exit your meditation.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: It will be easier to use a shovel that is made out of light plastic or has an aluminum blade and is covered with a nonstick finish. This will make it easier to load and unload the snow. You don't want a shovel that's too big or that contains softer materials. You won't have to bend as much if you choose a shovel with a S-shaped shaft. You can use a shovel with a C-shaped blade, called a pusher, on lighter, fluffier snow that doesn't weigh as much. You can apply lubricant to help your shovel move more easily through the snow. Options include non-stick cooking spray, W-D 40, paraffin wax or other similar products. Before applying, make sure your shovel is dry and warm. You can reapply as necessary. frequently. Don't wait until the storm is over because the snow and ice will have a chance to bond to the pavement, making it harder to remove later. You could always pay a neighbor kid to shovel for you. The key to success when having to remove snow by hand is to start as soon as possible. You should shovel several times during a storm. It's also easier to shovel less early fallen snow than thicker deeper snow, so do the shoveling in parts. Avoid heaping the snow against foundation walls, where it can melt, refreeze, and cause problems. You want to shovel down to the pavement so that the sun's rays will hopefully hit it and stop ice from forming on the pavement or public space. Another reason to remove the snow right away is because it will be harder to do so once it's packed down by foot traffic or vehicles. You can easily strain your back or knees when shoveling. However, there are ways to prevent this. It's important not to overload the shovel; work with manageable amounts of snow. Focus on pushing the snow instead of lifting it whenever possible, and take plenty of breaks. When you have to lift a load of snow, squat and lift using the power of your legs. Keep your back straight. Avoid jackknifing your body and lifting from your lower back, will save you from getting a back injury. Make sure the shovel is long enough. If you're trying to use a shovel that's too short for your height, you will increase the chances you will strain your back.You want to pick a shovel length where the blade will touch the ground, requiring you to only slightly bend your knees and so you don't have to lean forward a lot. The shovel's handle should be at chest length if you were to stand the shovel on its end. Keep the bottom edge of your shovel in good condition by by using a hand file or bench grinder to smooth out any dents or rough edges. It's not a good idea to just shovel snow into the street or to whip it into your neighbor's lawn. Be respectful of others. You should also be careful not to block drains. Putting snow into the street can cause a driving hazard for motorists. Shoveling it from your driveway into the sidewalk can run afoul of city ordinances. It's a better idea to shovel it from the pavement onto the yard itself. You're not going to be able to use it in the midst of a deep winter anyway. You want to make sure you don't create another hazard in the process of removing one. Plan ahead at the beginning of the winter to determine where you will shovel your snow. Snow storage has to last all winter, so planning ahead will save time and energy. It may be that you have no choice and will have to clear the public areas that are adjacent to your property. Check with your municipality. Some municipalities require homeowners or business owners to clear snow and ice from the sidewalks that are adjacent to their buildings. Some municipalities even have rules about how fast you must clear the snow and ice from the sidewalk area. You can face a fine in some municipalities if you don't do so, as well as facing potential liability in slip-and-fall cases. It's not worth it, so do your homework! You should also be careful about volunteering to shovel pavement or public spaces on property you don't own and that aren't adjacent to your property. It could potentially open you up to liability if someone slips and falls. Also be mindful of water runoff when snow melts.
Summary: Use a high quality shovel. Shovel Shovel correctly to avoid hurting yourself. Watch where you put it. Research regulations.
