As you may have learned, genuinely connecting with other people is of ultimate value.
And yet, there are many times when you may be in a room or on a call with someone you care about, and find that you are distracted—part of you is engaging with the person you are talking to and part of you is somewhere else, far away.

According to Thich Nhat Hanh, we must bring our mind home to our body in order to enter “the realm of the here and now,” where we discover our true aliveness and genuine connection to ourselves and others.
“In order to love, you have to be here. And in order to be here, you have to bring your mind home to your body.”
It is possible to learn how to drop distraction and synchronize our mind with the living pulse of our body. And when we do, what we discover is the wonder and wakefulness of our own true presence—the greatest gift we can give to others.
If you're spending more time in proximity with your family or housemates—or needing to support loved ones by phone or video – this teaching is more important than ever before.

Thay (as he is called by his students) shares the story of an 11-year-old boy whose father is a wealthy businessman with good intentions. For his son's birthday, the man offers to give him anything he wants.
From there, we see how powerful the offering of our full awareness can be—a gift that costs us nothing.
In the telling, we also learn how mindfulness, interdependence, and lovingkindness work together to uplift all of our relationships.
Make sure you stay until the concluding practice so that you can learn a simple way to reconnect with those you love.
