60 Seconds for Time Out Tuesday: Brush Your Teeth to Experience Brushing

<p>Hello to you listening in <a href="https://www.visit-hampshire.co.uk/explore/towns/farnborough" target="_blank">Farnborough, North Hampshire, UK</a>!</p><p>Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories from Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Time Out Tuesday and your host, Diane Wyzga.</p><p>At his retreats you would see my Zen Buddhist teacher Thich Nhat Hanh ask all the children to come and sit with him.</p><p>This was his way of inviting the children to hear a short Dharma talk before he excused them to their activities and spoke to all the adults in the retreat hall.</p><p>I remember one of his questions to the children: "<i>Why do we brush our teeth</i>?"</p><p>Of course they’d respond with answers like, “<i>So we don’t have bad breath</i>.” “<i>To keep them healthy.</i>” “<i>My brother said I have to</i>.”</p><p>Thay would smile and say, “<i>These are all good answers; and the real reason we brush our teeth is to brush our teeth. For the experience of it. To pay attention to what we are doing in those few minutes..</i>.”</p><p><strong>Question</strong>: It might seem silly to seek thinking of nothing as we brush our teeth; just mindfully brushing them and saying “<i>Thank you</i>” to the teeth we take for granted until they hurt. How does it feel to Be. Here. Now in those few minutes with your teeth? </p><p><strong>You’re invited</strong>: “<i>Come for the stories - stay for the magic!</i>” Speaking of magic, I hope you’ll subscribe, share a nice shout out on your social media or podcast channel of choice, and join us next time! <strong>Remember to stop by the website, check out the Services, arrange a Discovery Call, and Opt In to stay current with Diane and </strong><a href="https://www.quartermoonstoryarts.net" target="_blank"><strong>Quarter Moon Story Arts</strong></a> and on <a target="_blank">Linked In</a>. </p><p><strong>Stories From Women Who Walk Production Team</strong></p><p>Podcaster: Diane F Wyzga & <a href="https://www.quartermoonstoryarts.net" target="_blank">Quarter Moon
