Mindfulness Verse of the Week (A Weekly Series, Every Monday)
Gathas are short verses that help us stay present and bring mindfulness into our daily lives. At Plum Village, we use gathas throughout the day — when we wake up, enter the meditation hall, eat our meals, or even wash the dishes.
These simple verses are a gentle reminder to come back to the present moment and find peace and joy in whatever we’re doing. You can combine the gatha with your breathing:
* Breathe in and recite the first line.
* Breathe out and recite the second.
* Continue like this with the next lines, following the natural rhythm of your breath.
We invite you to join us in this practice! Pause, take a deep breath, and reflect on this week’s verse as you go about your day. Together, let’s nurture mindfulness and create space for peace and joy in our hearts.
Stay tuned for this week’s verse — let’s practice together! 🌱
