Speaking about the work of Thich Nhat Hanh, whose work on non-violence came from the front lines of the Vietnam war, Niall explores the fear and power driving the chaos and the deep spiritual crisis it is causing in society. He shares how Thich Nhat Hanh’s work can be used as a beacon of hope in these difficult times and how our personal choice to nourish life, and not destroy it, can help us feel empowered as a collective again. Niall also leads us in a Metta meditation to send peace during global turmoil.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>For more mindfulness content check out Niall’s Patreon. <a href=\"https://www.patreon.com/niallbreslin\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.patreon.com/niallbreslin</a></p><p><br></p><p>Follow Niall on IG<a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/bressie/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> @bressie</a>, TikTok<a href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/@niallbreslin\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> @niallbreslin</a>, FB<a href=\"https://www.facebook.com/whereismymindpodcast\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> @whereismymindpodcast</a> and Twitter<a href=\"https://twitter.com/nbrez?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> @nbrez</a> and visit his website:<a href=\"https://www.niallbreslin.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"> www.niallbreslin.com</a>.</p><p><br></p><p>If you or someone you know is struggling emotionally or feeling hopeless, it’s important to talk to someone about it now.
