Breathing and meditation practices can be really helpful if you are feeling anxious, overwhelmed or unsettled by what is happening in the world around you. In this video I read to you the words of the revered Bhuddist monk Thich Nhat Hanh which might help to bring you a little peace in the present moment. I'll invite you to do the breathing as we go along, following Thich Nhat Hanh's instructions.
