This is a perfect example of Stephen's take on a guided Shikantaza practice. This 30 minute edit and the original 43 minute one are definitely ones to Save for repeated practice with this style of meditation. The guided part is about 2/3 of the time which leaves around 10 minutes to just sit after he's guided you to a deep state of peaceful awareness. Nice.
