One Breath Practice

Learn how to come home with just one breath in this brief meditation that includes a potent couplet that I learned at Plum Village.
"You have an appointment with life, and that appointment is in the present moment. If you miss the present moment, you miss your appointment with life. That is very serious! Please practice mindful breathing so you can return home and encounter life." ~Thich Nhat Hanh

Transcript

Welcome!

Coming home to the present moment is available with every breath.

I'd like to share with you a beautiful couplet created by Thich Nhat Hanh,

Vietnamese monk,

Author,

Artist,

Teacher,

Activist,

And so much more.

When you would like to arrive in the present moment,

Which as Thich Nhat Hanh would say is the only place where life happens,

You can activate the direct experience network of your brain,

Bringing mind and body into coalescence by internally saying the following two phrases as you breathe.

Breathing in,

I am aware I am breathing in.

Breathing out,

I am aware I am breathing out.

Breathing in,

I am aware I am breathing in.

Breathing out,

I am aware I am breathing out.

This is available to you with every breath.

May all beings know safety,

Actualization,

Love,

And liberation.
