Mindfulness of Breath

A spiritual practice you can do anytime, anywhere, is to notice your breath. Thich Nhat Hanh offers these words in many of his books:

"Breathing in, I know I am breathing in.
Breathing out, I know I am breathing out."

He says that being mindful of one's breath is like a bridge that connects body and mind, bringing you into the present moment. The fruits of mindfulness are love, peace, clarity, understanding, compassion.
