From The Art of Mindful Living by Thich Nhat Hanh. Audiobook links are below.
Breathing is the essence of Thich Nhat Hanh’s teachings. The technique in the photo is called “In/Out.” We stop thinking so much when we focus on our breath. We all think too much. Our body is present, but our mind is lost in the past or anxious about the future. The first fourteen minutes of The Art of Mindful Living, Part 1 is about this breath. It’s worth a listen.
Lovingkindness to yourself is where it’s at. 😊
Chaos reigns on the planet because you all believe it should.
No one is born depressed, angry, prejudiced, or hurtful. People learn that behavior from each other. If everyone became the peace that they seek, the world would be different.
Be peaceful toward yourself. Be the change you seek in the world.
Mantra:
I am the peace I seek today.
While you are alive on Earth appreciate the life that you have now. Know that each day brings you the opportunity to create the life you want.
Do not allow anyone to take your faith. Whenever it appears that you have ‘nothing,’ hold your faith closest to your heart. Faith carries you through the hardest of times.
Mantra:
I embody faith today.
Happy Sunday!
Today provides us an opportunity to celebrate the birth of a new consciousness, a consciousness of Peace, Unity, and ONENESS. Today I let LOVE be my guide.
Today you are called to be a living expression of Love, Light, Peace, Unity and ONENESS. Go forth and prosper. – from Daily Spirit Callings with Rev. Robert Brzezinski. http://revbrz.com/
Believe in yourself as you believe in God. Believe in God as you believe in yourself. With this belief, you cannot fail…in anything. You and God are co-creators of your life.
Show your faith by believing you are a powerful being who creates your life with thoughts, words, and actions. Consider each day a work of art, and you are the one painting the canvas.
Mantra:
I create a work of art today.
Trust that God hears your words, prayers, and thoughts. Trust that you are never alone. God is always with you, and an Angel is always by your side.
Mantra:
God is always with me today.
Call people to say how much you love them. Pass on the greatest gift: love. Stepping outside of your comfort zone to bless another is one of the most beautiful things you can do.
Share yourself with your loved ones. You may surprise people with your enthusiasm, which may rub off on them. They may turn around and call someone with radiant enthusiasm too!
Mantra:
I create a chain reaction of love and good feelings today.
