Zen Meditation
I went to Zen meditation with my boyfriend. It started 7 am and lasted one hour.
It's type of meditation sitting zazen on tatami.
During meditation, nobody is allowed to talk and we have to try not to think anything.
It is said that if you could, you can relief your stress.
It was my first time to join so it was really difficult for me.
I tended to think many things that it was unnecessary.
Next time I'll give it another shot!
By the way, afterward my boyfriend had cramp with his leg so he looked painful!

* "one hour" is fine, but "an hour" sounds more natural.
** Most readers will not know what "zazen" means. I think most people know what "tatami" means, but you could explain that as well. (You could say something like ". . . a type of meditation that involves zazen - sitting in lotus position - on straw tatami mats.")
*** This sentence could be understood two different ways. Did you mean "I kept thinking about unnecessary things" or "I kept thinking that this (meaning the Zen practice of emptying your mind) was unnecessary?" I assume you meant the first one, but it would be funny and ironic if you meant both!
**** "painful" can describe your boyfriend's suffering, but it can't describe him. In other words, an experience can be painful, but a person can be in pain.

Thanks for the comment and sharing your personal experience! Lao Sun. Now, I became interested in meditation more! I'm glad that you recovered from them. Okay! I will definitely do that again!!!

Meditation is good for our mind and brain. Researchers showed that meditation can change the structure of our brain, and increase the gray matter which is necessary for our brain activity.
Someone may get a terrible pain on his legs when he cross them during the sitting meditation, but constantly practice can effectively reduce the pain.
I practice meditation almost everyday since five years ago when I suffered from nervous and stomach problem , and benefit so much. I can sleep very well and deep now and I am very happy.
I hope you and your boyfriend can persist meditation. It is really good for your health, and make you comfortable.
Good luck!
