00:00:00.000 --> 99:59:59.999
I have arrived, I am home.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's very simple, 
but that is the practice.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And walk in such a way that you arrive,
and you feel like home.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You do not walk like a sleep walker
anymore,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you are walking as a free person,
you are walking like a Buddha.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
To be a Buddha and walking on Earth
is possible.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And Buddha is a man who is awake,
who can be in the here and the now,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
who can enjoy the present moment.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You can be a Buddha, 
walking on this beautiful planet.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Is very important that you feel at home
in the here and the now,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
only when you feel at home
in the here and the now

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that you really have peace.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Without peace, there's no happiness.
Enjoy.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Peace is the absence of conflict.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
When you deny the here and the now,
when you are not satisfied with yourself,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
what is there when you are
searching for something else,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you are not at peace with yourself.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
When you breathe in and you bring
your mind back to your body,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you make peace within mind and body.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Very often, in the early life,
you left your body alone.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
When you spend two hours
with your computer,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you forget completely
that you have a body.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In that moment, body and mind
are not together,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
we are not truly alive,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
our body and mind 
are away from each other.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So, breathing in mindfully
you ride your in breath

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and you go home to yourself.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You bring your mind home
to your body,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and eternally, you are fully present
in the here and the now.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And that's only two seconds,
three seconds for breathing in,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to bring the mind home to your body.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And there, mind and body together,
you are established in the here and the now

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and you get in touch with the wonders
of life.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That's simple enough.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So, every breath you take,
every step you make,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
should be able to bring you home
to the here and the now,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that is the basic practice.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And you don't have to struggle,
to force yourself to do that,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
because breathing in like that
can be very pleasant,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and making a step like that
can be very pleasant,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
there is no violence, no force,
just awaken, a wake up from a long dream,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
from a long sleep.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You wake up to the fact that life
is available in the here and the now,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that you are alive, of the wonders
of life in you and around you,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that you can enjoy being alive,
right here and right now.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And you have more than enough
conditions in order to be happy,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
so that is insight, that is mindfulness
and concentration.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That back the value of your breath
and you step;

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a breath made like that,
a step made like that can bring you

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
a lot of freedom and happiness.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I have arrived, I am home.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You feel comfortable in your home,
your true home is not in Germany,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
in Holland, in Singapore, your true home
is the there and the now,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
where you can touch the wonder of life,
your ancestors are available

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
in the here and the now.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I have arrived, I am home,
in the here and the now.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The here and the now
is where I arrived,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is my true home.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I am solid, I am free.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is not wishful thinking,
solidity is what you cultivate by walking.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Every step helps you cultivate
your solidity.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
To be solid means to be established,
to be in the here and the now.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The past cannot pull you away,
the future cannot pull you away,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you are established in the here 
and the now,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
solidly established 
in the here and the now.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And with one step, breathing in,
you can contemplate that solidity,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and you are free, I am solid,
I am free,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you are free because the past
and the future,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
your projects, your sorrows
cannot pull you away anymore.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So, while walking you can cultivate
more solidity and freedom,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and that has the power to heal you,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and to bring you happiness.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So that's one song I like to memorize
and to practice walking or breathing,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
"I have arrived, I am home,
in the here, in the now.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I am solid, I am free
