Feedback

This talk details the importance of engaging spirit and body in thoughts, words, and actions to heal suffering and nurture happiness. Healing involves focusing on what is right as well as addressing what is wrong, akin to nurturing healthy trees in a garden. Walking meditation helps release negative emotions and connect with peace and joy, nourishing ourselves with Dharma milk. Mindful eating and drinking promote healing, emphasizing nourishment over bitter medicine. Mindfulness practices like tea meditation and mindful breathing aid in savoring the present moment. Practicing mindfulness in daily tasks, such as washing vegetables or typing, helps slow down and brings joy. Cultivating peace, joy, and solidity in actions brings healing to physical and mental pain.
