About This Quote

The Buddhist monk, Thich Nhat Hanh, wrote in his book, The Miracle of Mindfulness: “Make the mental physical, and the physical mental, and things will improve.” The body is our physical vehicle through which we experience everything in this world. But it is also where we store our memories and relive them when we go back to visit our past experiences. We can change the physical that houses our memories by placing new ones there.
