Thích Nhat Hạnh, Buddhist monk, peace activist and artist, recommends a simple method of living in the present moment. Breathing in, we think, “I am breathing in” and exhaling, we think, “I am breathing in”. One can simplify it further by just thinking, “In” and “Out” as we inhale and exhale. His wonderful book, Call Me by My True Names, offers listeners a beautifully poetic, healing experience in compassion for ourselves and everyone around us. As Hanh says, “Happiness is Available. Please help yourself to it.”
