As Thich Nhat Hanh says, the miracle is to walk on the earth mindfully, to touch the depth and sacred presence of each moment. Meditation helps us see the traits that dominate our consciousness-hatred and love, ignorance and wisdom, fear and courage. When we acknowledge the full range of qualities within us, our ignorance begins to fade, and wisdom and compassion arise naturally. The practice of mindful breathing re-structures our consciousness and helps us develop critical self-awareness. We become more able to see the structural violence in ourselves and the world.
