Monastic-Led Deep Relaxation: Embodying Mother Earth

Where is our true home? Is it a particular place with particular people within a particular culture? What if we had to leave our “home”? Or lost the people we held most dear? Or grew up in a culture vastly different to that of our parents’? 
 
 In this deeply moving talk, Sister Dinh Nghiem (“Adornment with Concentration”) shares her experience as a child of a refugee family, the death of her father, finding Thay as her teacher and touching peace in the practice of dwelling truly in the present moment. 
 
 The talk was given as part of a themed retreat for young people of Asian heritage who were born or grew up in the west.

Finding Our True Home —

By becoming mindful of our emotions we can respond appropriately instead of reacting to a challenging situation. This is the art of mindfulness that we can cultivate in our daily life, to be the change we want to see in the world.

Recognising and Embracing our Emotions in the Present Moment — Br Phap Huu — Plum Village France

What do you truly want for your life? Knowing this becomes a source of energy on our path. When we see our path clearly, we are no longer afraid. 
 
Mindfulness is the energy of awareness that enables us to apply the practice in our daily life. This allows us to live our life in a way that is in line with our aspirations. We need to train ourselves to let go of our thinking and come back to our body and our breath. 
 
Words for reflections from Sr. Tuệ Nghiêm:

 1. What are your aspirations? What are your life’s purposes?
 2. How do you practice to realize your aspirations?
 3. What are the activities in your daily life that could become Dharma Doors to help you wake up and dwell deeply in the present moment?
 4. Practice the mantra: Breathe, Smile, Accept.

Breathe, Smile and Accept — Sr Tue Nghiem — Plum Village France
