I hope they bring you joy. Thich Nhat Hanh THE TEN MINDFUL MOVEMENTS This is Thich Nhat Hanh. ” He’s a Vietnamese Buddhist monk. Thich Nhat Hanh grew up in Vietnam at a time when there was a lot of conflict and violence. He was exiled because of his outspoken peace activities during the Vietnam War. Thich Nhat Hanh saw that it was very important for each person to practice finding peace within themselves. So in 1982, he founded Plum Village, a community of monks, nuns, laymen, and laywomen in southwest France.
MINDFUL MOVEMENT #3 Breathing in, lift your arms out to the side, palms up, until your arms are shoulder level, parallel to the ground. Breathing out, touch your shoulders with your fingertips, keeping your upper arms horizontal. Breathing in, open your arms, extending them until they’re stretched out to a horizontal position again. Breathing out, bend your elbows, bringing your fingertips back to your shoulders. When you breathe in, you are like a flower opening to the warm sun. Breathing out, the flower closes.
We can keep our steps slow, relaxed, and calm. There is no rush, no place to get to, no hurry. Mindful walking can release our sorrows and our worries and help bring peace into our body and mind. We can practice walking meditation alone, with another person, or with a group. Placing our footsteps one after the other slowly and in silence, we can create joy with each step. If we take steps without anxiety, in peace and joy, then we cause a flower to bloom on the earth with every step. THE TEN MINDFUL MOVEMENTS are another wonderful way of connecting your mind and body in mindfulness.
