Recovering Yourself in Peace

Thich Nhat Hanh says, "breathing mindfully in any position at any time can help you recover yourself". In the Peace of mindfullness, breathing in and out as we move through our day, or as we sit to meditate or pray, we come back to who we really are, we "recover" ourselves, retrieving our Essence from the noise and distractions of the moment. Our essence is Peace and joy RIGHT NOW and it is available in the present moment when we are still and breathe.

"If we do not have Peace and joy right now, when will we have it?" asks Nhat Hanh. How long will we wait for our external circumstances to change before we begin? Will it be tommorrow, the next day, next year?

Why wait? Peace is available right now!

Love,

Darlene
