Thich Nhat Hahn


 


             
Being in touch with Healing Elements

 "The blue sky, the flower, the river, the cloud, these things have a healing nature.  If you allow yourself to be in touch with these healing elements, the wounds within your body and your mind will be healed.  We should allow ourselves to be healed, and therefore, we should allow ourselves to be in the heart of life, which contains so many wonderful things, like the children, the flower, and so on..."

 "The seeds in our consciousness can function like anti-bodies.  What is important is that you continue to plant new seeds, the kind of seeds that are both refreshing and healing.  And if you just do that, by practicing mindful living so that you can be in touch with the flower, with the cypress tree, with the fresh air, with the beautiful eyes of the children, then these seeds will be planted in yourself, and they will naturally take care of the seeds of your suffering.  You don't even have to touch them.  And that is something I think the practice of Buddhism can contribute to psychotherapy in the west."
