Peace & Harmony
You can naturally stop your thoughts if you focus your attention fully on your in-breath and your out-breath. After one or two minutes of practice, the quality of your in-breath and your out-breath will improve. Your breath will become deeper, slower, and more harmonious and peaceful, whether you are lying down, sitting, or walking. By practicing mindful breathing, we bring the elements of harmony and peace into our body.
Thich Nhat Hanh: Keeping the Peace
Bringing peace and harmony into our lives and into our world is not just a process of thought and action, but also of simply embodying peace and harmony.
If we practice mindful breathing, we are spreading calm and peace on a tangible level, to the benefit of ourselves and everybody around us.
Try to make regular stops during your busy day to breathe mindfully; for example every time the phone rings, or when you skip the elevator and walk up & down stairs.
Notice how you relax and become peaceful, and how a little smile spreads on your face :-)
