I once asked a client why they love golf. His reply has always stuck with me. He said that his life is full of worry and stress. He deals with responsibilities, deadlines, and demands at work. He deals with finances and drama at home. He lays awake at night battling insomnia; his brain thundering like a race car under the stress and anxiety of his daily life.

But, when he is out there on the green, he is not thinking about his stress or his responsibilities. His mind isn't going a mile a minute. The only thing he is thinking about is hitting that little ball into that little hole; all the while taking in the surrounding beauty, fresh air, and sunshine.

The monks say that the true way to zen and meditative focus is being present and in the moment. You are not obsessing about the past or worrying about the future. To him, golf was his zen.

The Green session is my gift to the golfers out there, to the men and women finding their zen.
