Thich Nhat Hanh—the world-renowned Zen teacher, author, poet, and peace activist—was born on October 11, 1926, in central Vietnam. Today marks the 100th anniversary of his birth, or what the Plum Village tradition calls his “continuation day” in recognition of the Zen teaching that there is no birth and no death. Widely considered one of the most influential figures in contemporary Buddhism, Nhat Hanh, known to his followers as Thầy (Vietnamese for “teacher”), is best known for founding the Plum Village tradition and Order of Interbeing, authoring more than one hundred books, and pioneering the concept of “engaged Buddhism,” which…

These are my top picks for sustainable, nontoxic high chairs with a low footprint that are comfortable and make mealtime a bit easier. Some convert to kid chairs and toddler towers too! My daughter started eating solids around six months, and let’s just say she’s never been a huge fan of…

This summer, my apartment stopped feeling like it belonged to me. I’ve lived in my current space for five years, and have always had a lingering sense of being not-entirely-moved-in, but this year has felt even more disjointed. After a fresh breakup and a long period of intense travel, I found myself questioning my tastes and my vision for my own future — which translated into a very, very cluttered space. Slowly, my apartment began filling up: papers on every flat surface, projects half-started, a dining table so buried a friend once called it my “filing cabinet.” 😬 So I…

The internet is full of advice about how to love an avoidant partner: Give them space. Welcome them back when they re-engage. Don’t pursue. How to decode their silence. How to tell if they really care.  These posts are so popular because so many of us are living it — when wanting closeness on one side seems to trigger retreat on the other. We see it in our friendships, romantic relationships, and even at work. As a psychotherapist who specializes in relationships and attachment theory, I’ve worked with countless clients stuck in the anxious-avoidant cycle. These patterns can be especially…

Published October 5, 2026 03:24PMIn Yoga Journal’s Archives series, we share a curated collection of articles originally published in past issues beginning in 1975. This article about the role of your hands in Downward-Facing Dog Pose first appeared in the November-December 1989 issue of Yoga Journal. Find more of our Archives here.  In Indian culture, the hands have always had a special significance. As far back as Vedic times, the priest would motion with his hands to accentuate the words of a ritual ceremony or would imitate with his fingers the initial letter of a sacred mantra. In Indian religious…

An interview with Margot Anand by Susan Bridle: “Absolutely not. I totally disagree with you. I would say radically no. The tantric path is profoundly a spiritual path,” she stated emphatically. Had I gone too far? I had just asked Margot Anand (formerly Margo Anand), the world-renowned teacher of tantric sexuality, if modern tantra may not really be a genuine spiritual path. WIE: I’d like to start, if you will, with a simple definition of the path of tantra. Margot Anand: I would say that tantra is a path that opens a person up to the possibility that sexuality can be a…

I put the top organic weighted blankets to the test, comparing how comfortable, breathable, and calming each one felt during my nightly unwind. Sometimes it’s hard to relax. Anxiety, stress, overthinking, tension — they can all make it difficult to find ease and get the quality rest our bodies need (and deserve!). If you’re like me, sometimes I feel restless and overstimulated…

Steven Hall, aka Nirosta Steel, has been making ambitious experimental music for more than forty years, though most of it has gone unreleased. This summer, the Indiana label ULYSSA dug through decades of Hall’s archives to put together his first album in years, MY SKYSCRAPER, which quickly rose to critical acclaim. Drawing from his longtime collaboration with Arthur Russell and building on their notion of “Buddhist pop,” the album presents four decades of Hall’s work, spanning folk, disco, and experimental synth-pop. In a recent episode of Tricycle Talks, Tricycle’s editor-in-chief, James Shaheen, sits down with Hall to talk about his winding path to…

Sometime after she turned three, my daughter started experimenting with various kinds of tantrums. When met with an obstacle — like a mother who didn’t want to let her run into the street, or a babysitter who made her leave a dead bird on the sidewalk where she found it, or a father who had the audacity to deliver a banana sliced exactly how she requested it (iykyk) — my daughter wouldn’t just scream and flail in the timeless tradition of toddler tantrums. Instead, sighing dramatically, and with all the weariness of a certain cartoon donkey renowned for his gloominess,…
