With a deep mindful breath

Word just received today 

"With a deep mindful breath we announce to the world the news that yesterday, the 11th of November 2014, Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, experienced a severe brain hemorrhage. Thich Nhat Hanh is receiving 24 hour intensive care from specialist doctors, nurses and from his monastic disciples".

And so as a community of meditators .. let us all take a moment to pause and reflect on the great wisdom, compassion and insight that Thay has shared with the world .. with the hope that he will continue to do so.

Sending healing and loving energy .. 

This is one of my favourite videos with the words of Thay guiding.

Take a moment.

My mind calm

my body relaxed
a smile is born on my lips
following the sound of the bell
my breath brings me back
to the safe island of mindfulness ...
