The New Year is an opportunity for us to reflect on our priorities, actions and emotions. It is a reminder that every moment is a chance for mindful change. All is impermanent. We are in what Thich Nhat Hanh calls a constant state of “remanifestation.”

Give big this year. By big, I don’t mean you need to spend a lot of money at the mall, or gather multiple gifts for everyone on your list. I mean that you can enhance your gift giving tradition by enlarging your view of the gift—by choosing something that nurtures your loved ones and our global community at the same time.

Thanksgiving is a holiday of reflection, community and great food! Seize this opportunity to share mindful eating with loved ones and reinforce your mindful habits.
Q: How can we deepen our practice?
A: Deepening our practice means having a genuine practice, practicing not in form only. When your practice is genuine, it will bring joy, peace, and stability to yourself and to the people around you.
