Joy and Happiness Begin When We Release
This talk details the practice of mindful breathing taught by the Buddha, emphasizing experiencing each in-breath and out-breath fully and effortlessly. Mindfulness involves remembering to breathe consciously, staying present, and supporting each other in this practice. Mindfulness reminders, like calligraphy in the kitchen or signals in Paris, help maintain awareness. Mindfulness centers should be inclusive, aiding calmness and healing, and taught in schools and societal sectors. Mindfulness exercises start with breathing awareness, progressing to feelings, cultivating joy and happiness through letting go of attachments. Mindfulness nurtures gratitude for simple blessings and focusing on positivity helps transform pain.
