When we feel profoundly unsettled by everything that is happening to us and around us, a key step is to come home to ourselves in this moment, whatever is happening: when we bring our mind back to our body we come home. The Vietnamese Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh says that when we touch this experience of coming home, it is like finally arriving home after a long journey: it brings us a sense of peace and freedom, no matter our circumstances. In his meditations, Thich Nhat Hanh reminds us again and again “I have arrived, I am home” here and now. This grounding practice is inspired by Thich Nhat Hanh and by the meditation teacher Lesley Booker.
