This is a podcast about mindfulness--mindfulness as a practice and mindfulness as a way of life. Our short (10 minute) weekly episodes will provide perspectives and encouragement for your journey to staying real and present.
Is Mindfulness just an empty promise or a fad, or does it rest on scientific and theoretical foundation that we can trust? In this episode I discuss the scientific evidence related to the purported benefits of mindfulness, and talk about why attention to the present moment might inevitably lead to an increase in happiness and joy.
In this episode I discuss three invitations of mindfulness meditation, and provide a very brief guided meditation as a point of departure for your own practice. Here are a couple additional videos about meditation I have found very helpful: (1) Eckhart Tolle discusses meditation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foU1qgOdtwg and (2) A brief guided meditation by Mark Williams of Oxford University: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVW_IE1nsKE
