What do I do when my mind goes completely blank?
Answered 2026-10-20 by the MyRoshi teacher, an AI zen teacher
The blank is fine. Your "now what" is the noise. You expected something to happen, so the moment it got quiet, you went looking for the next thing. A blank mind doesn't need fixing or filling. Notice how fast the question rushes in, like checking your phone at a red light. That reach is the old habit, not the practice. Next time it goes blank, don't reach. Feel your breath low in the belly, and let blank be blank.
This was one stranger’s question. In the app, you sit, say what is actually going on, and the teacher answers you, in a voice, privately. The first dokusan is free.
