260912 What I learned in my studies this morning 6

Today's Meditation:

The Pocket Thich Nhat Hanh (ed. by Melvin McLeod), Mindfulness of Breath 

The state of the body influences the state of the mind and vice versa.

The more I meditate, the more peaceful my mind, the calmer my breath and heartbeat. The more relaxed my body, the easier it is to relax my mind.

Meditation need not be troublesome or difficult. It's all around me, in me, if I but look without expectation, without force of will. Relax into it, gently into it, smoothly into it. Make it a more consistent approach to life.
