Guided practices help us to pause, rest, focus and deeply experience the present moment of our life. They remind us to come back to ourselves over and over, so that resting our presence in our body becomes a habit.

dwelling peacefully (13 mins)
This begins with an excerpt from Thich Nhat Hanh's 'Inside the Now', followed by a guided meditation on the Joy of Meditation as Nourishment. Establishing ourselves with ease and solidity, we can taste the joy that mindful presence brings without any effort at all.
"If you are restless, if you are not able to sit peacefully and with stability, it is because you are not established in the now. [...] All you need to do is focus your attention on your in-breath and out-breath, recognize it, and smile to it. Being aware that you are breathing in means you are really there. Your presence is a wonder and a miracle."
- Thich Nhat Hanh
