Thich Nhat Hanh
"People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer familiar suffering. But you must remember that you are not just a drop in the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop. When you look deeply into a flower, you see the sun, the rain, the earth, and the entire cosmos inside it. This is interbeing. We are here to awaken from our illusion of separateness." Thich Nhat Hanh

What am I carrying in my cup today?
A Buddhist monk asked his students — "If you're carrying a cup of coffee and someone bumps into you, why did you spill the coffee?" Each of his students said: "Because someone bumped into me." "No," he said. "The reason you spilled the coffee is because that's what you were carrying in your cup. If you were carrying water, you would have spilled water." Then he said something profound: "Whenever life shakes you, whatever you're carrying is going to spill out. So if you're carrying fear, jealousy, anger or greed — that's what's going to spill out. But if you're carrying love, compassion and kindness — that's what's going to spill out." So each and every day, pause and ask yourself: what am I carrying in my cup today? — Thich Nhat Hanh

Meditation
I’ve just started going to a meditation class as keen to learn how to meditate properly as I believe that can unlock spiritual communication. Are there any meditation tips someone can give me?
