Handling Strong Emotions. Breathing in, I know the feeling of despair is in me. Breathing out I know this is only one feeling, and I am much more than one feeling. — Thich Nhat Hanh. @thichnhathanhquotecollective #thay #breathinginbreathingout #emotions #breathe #feeling #thichnhathanhquotecollective #thichnhathanh #buddhistquotes #thichnhathanhquotes
We have the capacity of being compassionate, of being understanding. We have the seeds of forgiveness and joy and peace and liberation in us. That is the Buddha inside. We have to trust the Buddha inside and allow it to have a chance to operate. — Thich Nhat Hanh. @thichnhathanhquotecollective #thay #compassion #understanding #seeds #forgiveness #joy #peace #thichnhathanh #thichnhathanhquotecollective #buddhistquotes #thichnhathanhquotes
Go back and take care of yourself. Your body needs you, your feelings need you, your perceptions need you. Your suffering needs you to acknowledge it. Go home and be there for all these things. – Thich Nhat Hanh. @thichnhathanhquotecollective #thay #suffering #thichnhathanhquotecollective #feelings #gohome #takecare #thichnhathanh #buddhistquotes #thichnhathanhquotes
Stop thinking and just be with your breathing. Breathing mindfully brings your mind home to your body. Bring your awareness to your body, relax your body and release any tension that is there. Your body is a miracle. When you can touch the wonder of your body, you have the opportunity to touch Mother Earth within you as a wonder, too, and healing begins straight away – we don’t need to wait ten years for healing to take place. Many of us have become sick because we’re alienated from our body and from the body of the Earth. So the practice is to go home to Mother Earth to get the healing and nourishment we so desperately need. Mother Earth is always ready to embrace us and help nourish and heal us. And as we heal, we’re helping the Earth to heal at the same time. — Thich Nhat Hanh. @thichnhathanhquotecollective #thay #breathing #healing #mindfulness #awareness #motherearth #earth #thichnhathanh #buddhistquotes #thichnhathanhquotecollective #thichnhathanhquotes
Every positive experience we live deeply, in full awareness, is like a wholesome seed planted in our consciousness. We need to practice mindfulness all the time so that we can plant healing, positive seeds in ourselves. Then, when we need them, they will be able to take care of us. — Thich Nhat Hanh. @thichnhathanhquotecollective #thay #awareness #seed #Mindfulness #thichnhathanhquotecollective #thichnhathanh #buddhistquotes #thichnhathanhquotes
Birth and death are only doors through which we pass, sacred thresholds on our journey. — Thich Nhat Hanh. @thichnhathanhquotecollective #thay #impermanence #mindfulness #sacred #journey #wisdom #thichnhathanh #buddhistquotes #thichnhathanhquotes #thichnhathanhquotecollective
When we look deeply at a blade of grass or at a tree, we can see that it’s not mere matter. It has its own kind of intelligence. For example, a seed knows how to grow into a plant with roots, leaves, flowers, and fruit. A pine tree is not just matter; it possesses a sense of knowing. A dust particle is not just matter; each of its atoms has intelligence and is a living reality. Like each of the cells in our body, everything has its innate wisdom. Mother Earth creates, nourishes, and sustains life, and has infinite wisdom and intelligence. —Thich Nhat Hanh. @thichnhathanhquotecollective #thay #motherearth #wisdom #mindfulness #thichnhathanh #thichnhathanhquotecollective #buddhistquotes #thichnhathanhquotes
When we suffer, the Earth embraces us, accepts us, and restores our energy, making us strong and stable. The relief that we seek is right under our feet and all around us. – Thich Nhat Hanh. @thichnhathanhquotecollective #thay #motherearth #earth #relief #thichnhathanhquotecollective #mindfulness #thichnhathanh #buddhistquotes #thichnhathanhquotes
When you walk with mindfulness, you set an example for everyone who sees you, even if you don’t realize it. When we see you walking with freedom, with peace, with joy, we may be motivated by the desire to mirror you. Together, without effort, we create more of an atmosphere of peace and happiness. – Thich Nhat Hanh. @thichnhathanhquotecollective #thay #walk #peace #joy #mindfulness #thichnhathanhquotecollective #thichnhathanh #buddhistquotes #thichnhathanhquotes
