“(Practice) does not have to be hard labor. Just allow your body and mind to rest, like an animal in the forest. Don’t struggle.
There is no need to attain anything.
I am writing a book, but I am not struggling; I am resting also. Please read in a joyful yet restful way.
Practice in a way that does not tire you out, but gives your body, emotions, and consciousness a chance to rest. Our body and mind have the capacity to heal themselves if we allow them to rest.
Stopping, Calming, and Resting, are preconditions for healing.”
– Thich Nhat Hanh
