One University–One Breath
Most of us find it challenging to live in the present moment — to experience and appreciate the gift of life as it is actually taking place. One way to live more of our lives in the present, instead of dwelling on the past or worrying about the future, is periodically to pause and pay attention to what it feels like simply to exist in time and space. This practice in awareness reaps physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual benefits. Learn more on OneStThomas.
