You speak the right words. This is what is missing and should be the normal, and not what we get spewed forth, which is toxic "education"?. The good thing is that anyone who is commenting to this lovely video will be on the best path:)
this is so sweet and I love Thay's subtle sense of humor as well as his devotion to teaching
I love him, He's seems to be such a sweet and precious soul..especially the way he addresses the children here, almost with the attitude of your wise, kind old grandfather who always talked to you like an adult.
Thay, thanks for this teaching. I’m 74 years old and will use it tonight to fall asleep. How I wish I would’ve learned your teachings as a child. 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
I like listening to his voice. That relaxes me!!
I love how he says its pleasant to breath if the air is 'good enough'. Because these days the air quality is dismal in cities, but if its good enough and I can still breath, I'm thankful.
Due to surgery I miss one lung, the right, the biggest of the 2. Right after surgery my body kept giving panic signals all the time, sleep was difficult (and that's an understatement.) However through hard work and breathing exercise (the beginning of meditation and singing) I regained a new "normal" and sleeping became natural again. Love this video!

Harry, I had a MVA in 2008, there is a long story leading up to this accident. The body lost its right lung also. At 38 yo I’m am still dealing with complications 14 years later ( infections in the right cavity and hole in airway ). I understand you, and love you brother!
Love his calm voice

I overthink, therefore I overam ;)
I’ve woken up at 5am for the last three days with anxiety after years of being able to sleep almost on command. Maybe I’m just getting older at 28. Maybe I need to accept it. Everything said in this video really covers it all though 💖 I feel blessed to have come across this channel
The best solution to insomnia is to stop worrying about all the nonsense that says you MUST sleep.

cindy dieball Fill a page with things you are grateful for. Also, to wind down a bit before doing the gratitude log, think of one thing you learned today, how you were kind to someone, how someone was kind to you. Then you will be feeling more relaxed, more hopeful, more positive. ☺
Love this video very much. Love Thich Nhat Hanh very much. Most gentle kind man ever.
What a great question to check if a spiritual teacher is the real deal or not.
"I think therefore I cannot sleep"
Such a pureeeee soul, blessings 🙏🙏🙏☮️💜💌
hahaha I was twitchy last night because of the insomnia. And, impatient as it makes you, I paused the video because it "took too long to explain". I did exactly what he said (without having truly listened to the lesson), fell asleep, woke up, played the video and life taught me a lesson XD
Listening to holy master teaching and voice is a meditation for me to relax and can fall to sleep. 🙏🙏
Thank you for your words, it had helped me a great deal. I wish your treatment in VA was successful and you are satisfied with your current health. Always your student Minh.
Ahh, I love this man. I’m going to try his advice tonight. ☺️💕
gratitude for help us
❤❤thank you so much for the answer, thay! I hope you will heal soon (without a lot of suffering) you are amazing!❤
Poor little girl. Loooking totally perplexed at the end lol.
I enjoy this.
Takes practice, but can be one. Recently i had to have a 30 minute MRI due to a back injury. It was not the large open scanner but the smaller confined one. I have practiced "going down to my levels" for many many years. I am quite good t it actually and when the technician told me the test was over, I could have sworn it only took 10 minutes. It does work ! As always, Thay is spot on.
Soo Sweet 💓🙏
Namaste 🙏❤️
By watching this man's videos🙏🌺
Thank you ❤
He s so sweet !! :)
wooow.. so beautiful
How much better would the world be if he was taught in schools? Or anyone along these lines. Learned more in the few years after highschool than I ever did in any of my years in school. Sad really
He saves my life. :)
Fantastic! Xxxxxxx

You can search on youtube with the keywords "plum village songs", there are a lot. There are instrumental videos as well, which are perfect to listen to before your sleep. It's crazy but I got over my depression by listening to these great songs 1 year ago. 😊🙏🍀
Can this man be my teacher.

So the thinking keeps us awake?q🤗
Where do we find the song he talks about?

Grace Lewis Thay refers to mantras as songs sometimes. You’ll find them in talks posted on KZread. For instance: I have arrived (in the in breath), and I am home (in the out breath). Or simple: arrived.... home. Just the two words. Another is: mountain.... solid. This is for when one feels doubtful. Another: flower..... fresh. Cheers!

since childhood I like to think of music, any music I like, when it's bedtime. Any song will do as long as you love it.
not to fall asleep relax like to focus on in breath and out breath sound of the clock breath out lying down stop the thinking a song by heart i have arrived i am home dharma song breathing breath in and out sing in side Kimball Barrett
Do not eat after midday therefore any access energy will be burnt during day. If you eat later in the day the body will try to exert that access energy mentally in the form of think as the body will physically be resting. Simple.
