Mindful Art of Wild Swimming

Reflections for Zen Seekers

"When we master the art of swimming, we discover the liberation that comes with weightlessness and enter an intensely private world where meditative state of mind is easily achieved. Swimming in wild waters takes this experience to an even more intense level where self-discovery and fulfilment reside, producing profound effects on the mind and spirit. If you are prepared to risk a certain obsession with water, embark on your own journey into wild waters. Leap in!"
