As we head into an often busy and stressful holiday season, with our world in turmoil and our lives packed with stuff, here are some words to keep in mind...
"To come to our senses, both literally and metaphorically, on the big scale as a species and on the smaller scale as a single human being, we first need to return to the body, the locus within which the biological senses and what we call the mind arise. The body is a place we mostly ignore; we may barely inhabit it at all, never mind attending to and honoring it. Our own body is, strangely, a landscape that is simultaneously both familiar and remarkably unfamiliar to us."
Jon Kabat-Zinn
