Breathing in, repeat “In the here, in the here.” Breathing out, repeat “In the now, in the now.” Although these are different words, they mean exactly the same thing: I have arrived in the here. I have arrived in the now, I am home in the here. I am home in the now. When you practice like that, you practice stopping. Stopping is the basic Buddhist practice of meditation. You stop running. You stop struggling. You allow yourself to rest, to heal, to calm. – Thich Nhat Hanh. @thichnhathanhquotecollective #thay #thaysays #inthehere #inthenow #hereandnow #heal #meditation #calm #thichnhathanh #buddhism #thichnhathanhquotes
