Mudras & Rituals

I really love this one from Nhi Nhi Le. At the end of a meditation or sitting session, say:

Bring your hands into prayer, to the crown of your head. May there be peace to all and myself.

Then bring your hands down to your mind's eye. May there be light to all and myself.

Then, down to your heart. May there be love to all and myself.

~ Nhi Nhi Le

Thoughts

Try to be disinterested in your thoughts.

~ Whitney's yoga teacher

Time

• Take a moment to feel gratitude for having the time to meditate.

Breath

Ride your breath like you ride a wave.

~ Samir from Oakland Retreat
