The power of meditation is transformative, as you'll see this weekend in Oprah's interview with Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh and the OWN premiere of the film, The Dhamma Brothers. Thich Nhat Hanh himself says: "We try to [meditate] not only every day but every moment. While drinking, while talking, while writing, while watering our garden, it's always possible to practice living in the here and the now." The Dhamma Brothers illustrates how the practice transforms some of Alabama's most dangerous prisoners.

Before Sunday morning, take some quiet time for yourself and try one—or all—of the meditations from Thich Nhat Hanh and share how you felt in the comments below.
