Podcasts about bringing mindfulness

In this thought-provoking episode of the Mindfulness Exercises Podcast, Sean Fargo unpacks one of the biggest misconceptions about mindfulness: that it's about clearing the mind, suppressing emotions, or striving for constant calm. Instead, true mindfulness is about meeting whatever arises—thoughts, emotions, and sensations—with openness, curiosity, and non-judgment. Whether you're new to mindfulness or a seasoned practitioner, this episode will challenge the way you think about your mindfulness practice and help you embrace mindfulness as a way of being, rather than something to achieve. What You'll Discover: Why mindfulness isn't about controlling or eliminating thoughts. The difference between being with an experience versus fixing it. How to meet emotions—like fear, anger, or distraction—with gentle awareness. The hidden ways we use mindfulness as an escape rather than a tool for presence. Practical ways to integrate true mindfulness into daily life and teaching. Sean reminds us that mindfulness is not about transcending discomfort—it's about turning toward it with kindness, acceptance, and a willingness to explore.

On today's episode #325 we continue with our 18-Week Self-Leadership Series based on Grant Bosnick's “Tailored Approaches to Self-Leadership: A Bite Size Approach Using Psychology and Neuroscience” that we first dove into with our interview on EP #321.[i]  During this interview, I told Grant that his book contained a thorough and deep overview of the Neuroscience of Self-Leadership, and I felt like each of the 18 chapters could be covered in 18 weeks, for all of us to gain a better understanding of the application of the science he picked out for each chapter. So I decided to cover EACH chapter here, with a map towards our progress over the next 18 weeks, and to set our season theme to the Neuroscience of Self-Leadership that will be our focus until June of this year. Today we will be looking at Chapter 4 of this book on “The Neuroscience of Mindfulness.” This is a topic that scored on the MEDIUM side of urgency for me, (ORANGE) on the Leadership Self-Assessment.[ii]  I hope that you have taken your self-assessment[iii], so you can follow along with your most urgent to least urgent areas of importance with your year. This area surprised me a bit, because I think Mindfulness is a huge part of my day. It's something that I spend time doing every morning, or else it's noticeable to me that I've missed it. Then I looked back over all the episodes we covered starting with some of our early episodes when I was just learning the ropes with interviewing guests. We started covering mindfulness on EP #25[iv] with Mick Neustadt, a mindfulness expert, to EP #28[v] with Dr. Dan Siegel, the well-known clinical professor at the UCLA School of Medicine, on his concept of Mindsight that he said was the basis for social and emotional intelligence.  Then on EP #60[vi], we covered Dr. Siegel's' Wheel of Awareness Meditation, and the insights I gained from practicing the 3 segments he has created over a two-month period, and then into Dr. Dawson Church's Bliss Brain Meditations[vii] that still sits as our MOST watched YouTube interview[viii] from December 2020 on The Science Behind Using a Meditation Practice. It feels like yesterday, but it was 2 years ago that we met with psychologist Darshan Pindoria for EP 266 on “Bringing Mindfulness and Meditation to Our Daily Lives.” So what does Grant Bosnick say about mindfulness in his book “Tailored Approaches to Self-Leadership?” He opens up chapter four by talking about the benefits of mindfulness to help us to gain more “executive control” over our daily distractions. I like how he asks “What is Mindfulness?” and lists the many definitions on the topic that talk about this practice as a “mental state achieved by concentrating in the present moment” to “creating a feeling of calm” to “a moment-to-moment awareness of one's experience without judgement.” Then he did not miss the father of mindfulness, who we've quoted often on this podcast, especially after I took his Masterclass, Jon Kabat-Zinn who gently reminds us that mindfulness is “an awareness that arises from paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment and non-judgmentally.” Bosnick shares that “it seems to be a mental state AND the practice of reaching that state” and he likens it to the Jedi's Mind from the movie series Star Wars. He says “It's like the force.” Now I think I saw Star Wars when I was a kid, and knew about “the force” but had to look up the meaning as it's been a few years. Bosnick reminds us that in the original Star Wars, Obi-Wan Kenobi told Luke Skywalker “Well, the force is what gives a Jedi his power. It is an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us: it binds the galaxy together.” (Ch 4, Bosnick). Now for someone who hasn't watched Star Wars since childhood, this sounds a lot to me like content we cover on this podcast, specifically our Science of Getting Rich Series[ix] where we talk about the fact that “there is a thinking stuff from which all things are made, and which, in its original state, permeates, penetrates and fills the interspaces of the universe.” (Wallace D. Wattles, SGR, The Syllabus). Or, our interview with Dr. Konstantin Korotkov, from EP 307[x] where we learned about the energy field that surrounds our body. Bosnick reminds us that the movie warned us to “Remember, a Jedi's strength flows from the Force. But beware: Anger, fear, aggression—the Dark Side, are there” so we learn to keep our emotions in check, by practicing mindfulness. PUTTING MINDFULNESS INTO PRACTICE: BUILDING OUR MENTAL RESILIENCE OVER TIME Bosnick tells us that “in order for us to be mindful, to focus and keep focus, we need to have “executive control” over our attention.” (Ch 4, Bosnick) and I'll add that we will all be at different levels of being able to “block out” our distractions. I remember the first time I laid down, and tried to listen to a guided meditation in the early days of learning this practice, and is all I could hear was my kids running around, when they were little. There was no chance I was going to be able to focus back then, but I just kept trying. I can say that one day, I noticed, that I could be sitting somewhere busy, like an airport, and am now able to block all outside distractions in order to go within. Wearing certain headphones has definitely helped with this. But this didn't come easily to me. I hear many people say “yeah, I gave up trying to meditate, it just doesn't work for me.” Other than telling you to sit there and listen to whatever meditation program you connect with, and keep trying, I don't have a strategy for HOW to build your mental muscles either, or how to build the resilience that comes over time, or how to take your meditation practice from the comfort of your home, where you begin, to your busy work day, when you need it the most. But Grant Bosnick does and he introduces us to New York Times Best Selling Author, Shirzad Chamine's strategy[xi] that guarantees we will quiet our mind over time. Bringing in the science to Mindfulness, DID YOU KNOW there is a concept called PQ Reps, coined by Positive Intelligence Founder, Shirzad Chamine[xii] that builds our mental muscles over time? PQ Reps stand for “positive intelligence quotient repetitions” (Ch 4, Bosnick) “and they are small, laser-focused exercises that consciously and purposely deploy our attention to one specific sensation.” These exercises are a way to train your brain in the same way that you would if you were meditating, giving you all of the benefits we are talking about with this practice. Shirzad Chamine discovered PQ Reps when he was looking for a way to build mental resilience for people who struggled to begin a mediation practice. Through fMRI scans, he could see that by activating a certain part of the brain, the PQ Area, in 10 second intervals, by taking your index finger and rubbing it on your thumb, while focusing on the sensation of this feeling, they could see that this PQ area in the brain was slightly activated, while the survival part of the brain was slightly quieter.[xiii] HOW DO WE PRACTICE PQ REPS? By rubbing your finger and your thumb together, involving your any of your 5 senses for 10 seconds. I suggest involve the sensation of touch, and notice what it feels like to touch the top of one finger on the ridges of the other. By doing this, you are shifting your attention to your body and focusing on the sensation. It's a lot like Dan Siegel's Wheel of Awareness practice that has you focused on one body part at a time (from head to toe) and feeling the sensation of your thoughts as it goes from one body part to the next. Who knew I was practicing PQ Reps while doing Dan Siegel's Wheel of Awareness Meditation and improving my mental fitness? It really does help to understand the science behind developing a mindfulness practice, so you can continue to strengthen yours. Shrizad Chamine recommends that if we want to use PQ Reps to build up this part of our brain, that we should do this practice for 12 minutes/day or 136 reps/day. To put this into perspective, Dan Siegel's Full Wheel of Awareness practice[xiv], is 37 minutes in length. Visiting his website that I've linked in the show notes, you can see this one, as well as a shorter one, and a NEW one on the Plane of Possibility. REVIEW AND CONCLUSION To review and conclude this week's episode #325 on “The Neuroscience of Mindfulness” we asked the question: DID YOU KNOW there is a concept called PQ Reps, coined by Positive Intelligence Founder, Shirzad Chamine[xv] who used fMRI scanners to discover that by doing these PQ Reps we can actually build our mental muscles by activating this PQ Region in the Brain?  For those who have a mindfulness practice in place, putting PQ Reps into practice helps to reaffirm the benefits that comes along with building your mental muscles, and for those who have found it difficult to begin a mindfulness practice, PQ Reps is a proven way to bridge the gap for you to begin. HOW DO WE PRACTICE PQ REPS? By rubbing our finger and thumb together, and involving any of our 5 senses for 10 seconds. I suggest that we feel the touch of our fingers on each other. By doing this, we are shifting our attention to our body and focusing on the sensation. It is this activity, that build us the PQ Area of our brain, while the survival part goes quieter. If you next listen to Dan Siegel's Wheel of Awareness Meditation you will see how Dr. Siegel's Mindfulness Practice is essentially teaching you to do PQ Reps involving every part of your body and feeling the sensations from your head to toe. Start small, practicing PQ Reps one day at a time, and eventually you will learn to focus your attention for longer periods of time, building your mental muscles and resilience in the process.   With each lesson we cover in this review of Grant Bosnick's Tailored Approaches to Self-Leadership, I'm hoping to show us how we can gain the momentum needed to activate Lewin's Field Theory, (remember from Chapter 2 on goals, EP 323[xvi] that place where we gain momentum and suddenly, life becomes easier. The resistances fades away, and our goals or whatever it is we are working on, are not far off in the distance, but they are within our reach. Then I'm hoping that we have a clear understanding of Chapter 3, EP 324[xvii] on The Neuroscience of Inspiration where we became clear with WHO or WHAT inspires us. This is when we know we can use our MINDS and understanding of our BRAIN, to turn MIND into MATTER, and create our own futures by design, rather than let them happen by default. I suggest using the MAP that Bosnick created to check off when you think you have integrated each skills into your daily life. In Chapter 2 on Goals, do you see how to gain the momentum needed for your success this year? In Chapter 3 on Inspiration, do you know WHO or WHAT inspires you, and are you using this knowledge for motivation? And now in Chapter 4 on Mindfulness, where are YOU in your mindfulness practice? Does this understanding of PQ Reps help you to build up the PQ area of your brain? Can you do a few reps in the day, until you build up to 12 minutes a day like recommended for this part of the brain to see the changes we all seek? I hope you have found this episode on Mindfulness helpful for sharpening your mindfulness practice, if you have one, or looking for alternative ways to build one, if you have found the process to be difficult. I can't forget that I wondered how I could improve my own meditation practice early last year, so we dove deep into The Silva Method, covered in 4 PARTS, that we just reviewed on EP #322[xviii] as our most downloaded series in 2023. The point of this episode today is that we learn to improve Mindfulness in our day to day life, not just for more “executive control” but to think beyond this. Jose Silva reminds us that “Once we learn to use our minds to train it, it will do some astounding things for us, as you will soon see.” Remember that some of the leading experts in the world have used Mindfulness (from The Silva Method) for outstanding results.   ✔ A marketing company used it to create 18 new products. ✔ 14 Chicago White Socks players used it to boost their scores. ✔  Celebrities have used it and credit Jose Silva for improving their focus and creativity. ✔  Colleges and universities have used it to help students study less, but learn more. If you are not using your mind to its fullest potential, don't worry, awareness is the first step. Start small today, and you'll be miles ahead in 2024, than you've ever been! I'll end with a quote to highlight the self-awareness we will build once we've implemented this lesson into our daily life, since our goal with this 18-week series is to help each of us to become more self-aware. “To know yourself, you must sacrifice the illusion that you already do.” — Vironika Tugaleva And I'll see you next week for an interview, and the week after that with Chapter 5 on Flow.

CLINT'S BIO: I'm all about first-person storytelling because I believe that knowing someone requires understanding their journey. My life's chapters have been diverse and unexpected.   Originating from South Africa, I embarked on a 15-year radio career that spanned 4 countries and hosted over 5 million global listeners. My radio career gifted me with remarkable experiences, from reality TV to Formula 1 rides, inspiring me to preserve and share these invaluable memories.   Relocating to Dubai in 2008 and later to Australia exposed me to various nationalities, enriching my understanding of cultures and the power of people's stories. Then came the extraordinary – winning the American Green Card Lottery, fulfilling a lifelong dream for my my wife and me to live in the U.S.A.   I've learned that authentic connections stem from shared stories. This insight led to the creation of the Capsll app, a way to engage with our digital content in a meaningful way, preserving and passing on our stories across generations.   I'm a thinker, learner, cancer survivor, and visionary, guided by peace and fueled by empathy. Additionally, I'll be donating to and raising awareness for the charity or organization of my guest's choice with each episode now. This episode, the organization is called Hope Kids.

Patience comes from this mindfulness and empathy. I wrote Lift and my message was that if you want to lift others, you have to lift yourself first.When I face adversity, somehow I get very motivated to do something. My greatest strength is perhaps being mindful, staying calm and seeing beyond the fog. You can't be constantly happy, but you can find momentary joy and momentary impact.

"Life gives you exactly what you need to awaken." Watch this interview on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/wpxogphAQqw On today's Episode #266 we will cover ✔  Tips from Darshan Pindoria, who spent 9 months as a monk, for those beginning their meditation practice. ✔ How open-minded meditation vs focused meditation can help us to become more creative and innovative in 2023. ✔ How to "think like a monk" and ask questions of others, to learn and grow. ✔ How to teach mindfulness, focus and meditation to our younger generations. ✔ How to use our mind to change habits, and improve our levels of anxiety, happiness and emotional stability.   Welcome back to The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast where we bridge the gap between theory and practice, with strategies, tools and ideas we can all use immediately, applied to the most current brain research to heighten productivity in our schools, ports environments and modern workplaces. I'm Andrea Samadi and launched this podcast to share how important an understanding of our brain is for our everyday life and results.  For today's episode #266, we will be speaking with Psychologist Darshan Pindoria[i], who contacted me around the time I was working on PART 4 of The Silva Method[ii] book review.  While writing this final part of this review, I mentioned that I had no idea just how deep the Silva Method would take me. This final part of Jose Silva's book review sat opened on my computer, unfinished, for more than a week, as I knew there was a lot to this book that I was still learning myself. My hopes were that this review would help all of us to improve our meditation practice, and give us more capacity, especially around how we approach stress, problem solve, or use our mind for creativity and innovation in the New Year, and in Darshan's introduction email, he let me know that he had trained 9 months as a monk. Darshan's email came at the perfect time, allowing me to ask him the questions I had after completing this book review. Thank you for all the feedback I received on this 4 PART review of The Silva Method, from around the world. I know this is just the beginning, and there will be another episode in the future, covering his online program. For now, I want to welcome Darshan Pindoria to our podcast, where we can dive deeper into ways that we can use our mind, in NEW ways, in the New Year, for improved health, productivity, creativity and innovation. Welcome Darshan. Thank you for reaching out to me, with perfect timing. Where have we reached you today? INTRO QUESTION: Darshan, many of our listeners resonated with this 4 PART review of a Jose Silva's popular book The Silva Method[iii], where he says “Once we learn to use our minds to train it, it will do some astounding things. Then I watched your travel VLOG[iv] of your trip to the Himalaya Mountains, and as someone who spends every day in the mountains, I wondered how did it feel to sit in those mountains, and why do you think it would be different for you there, over sitting and thinking in any other mountain? What tips would you have for someone beginning this practice? INTRO: Can you tell me what you learned from being a monk for 9 months? Or even what you felt just sitting in the Himalayas for 2 hours? You said so much…time went really fast there, you were lost for words. What did you discover/learn from your time sitting and thinking here? Q1: We just covered a book review that was based on the work of Jose Silva, and his program that really is based on what the research today would call “open monitoring meditation” where we close our eyes, and pay attention to our thoughts without judgement. Dr. Andrew Huberman recently did a podcast episode on how this type of mediation can help us to improve our divergent thinking, to help us with creativity and innovative ideas. Why does this “open-minded” meditation help us to become more creative? Q2: I noticed that the monk in your video was sitting a certain way, and he was touching his first 2 fingers together with his palms open. Jose Silva talked about this method as a way to access the Alpha Brain state, and reach deeper levels of creativity. Can you tell me why monks place their fingers this way? Is there something else to this pose that induces creativity? Q2B: Can you tell me about your time as a monk and what led you there? Q2C: What does someone who has spent a lot of time meditating want for others? Q3: Did you do other types of meditation, other than this open monitoring type? What about more focused meditation that I've seen where it's proven to improve focused attention (like staring at a flame of a candle). Dr. Huberman mentioned this type of meditation improved convergent thinking, greatly increasing focus and memory. Did you practice focused attention meditation, and what results did you see from this? Q3B: How would you teach focus to a teenager? Q4: How are you helping people change their results and habits fast, with how you understand the brain and mind? Q5: Mental health is an important topic no matter what part of the world we are living in. How are you helping people to handle stress, emotional stability, addictions, confidence, self-esteem, Phobias, insomnia, health and diet? This is quite a list. Is there something that's beneath all of these mental health concerns that we could all use for improved results in 2023? Q5B: Andrea wonders what Darshan thinks of the podcast, and the questions we've asked him and other guests. Q6: Is there something important, that I've missed that would help all of us jumpstart our new year? Darshan, I want to thank you very much for reaching out to me at the right time. You video in the Himalayas was absolutely beautiful, and gave me a breath of fresh air at a time I needed it. I know there is so much you can offer people with your services for health and wellness. If someone wanted to reach out to you, is the best way through your website? http://deeppsyc.com/mini-services/ Thank you for all you are doing for the world.

Mindfulness often feels like a “fad” or a “should do” or a “nice to do”. However, amongst our busy lives, we are often living on autopilot and not really taking stock of what we are doing and where we are going. We often just end up getting “there” then wondering where the last decade went. Mindfulness can help you make considered choices and help you on your journey after weight loss surgery. It helps you be more aware of your dietary choices, reduces mindless eating and making choices that serve you. Keeping with the holiday season theme, we can often eat and drink alcohol mindlessly at this time of the year. This episode dives into how to be mindful of meals and foods after weight loss surgery. I also discuss alcohol, effects of alcohol after weight loss surgery or bariatric surgery. I also go through a mindful eating script which is always a fun and interesting exercise to do. I would like to encourage you to start applying some of these habits to your day to day eating habits and see if you notice more fullness, less hunger and more “restriction”. Enjoy the episode. Let's chat: Work with me 1:1 by learning about my coaching: https://simpleandeasynutrition.com/apply.html Website: https://www.thebariatriccollective.com.au/ Instagram: @thebariatriccollective Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thebariatriccollective Email: suraya@thebariatriccollective.com.au Free Downloads: Causes of Weight Regain Graphic Download a Free Three Day Meal Plan with Recipes DISCLAIMER The advice provided in the podcast is general in nature and is not intended to constitute or substitute for dietetics, nutrition, professional or medical advice.

From mindful breathing in the morning, to body and breath awareness at night, today's conversation teaches you how to use the rhythms of your day to create little pockets of presence and mindfulness that will change the way you live. You'll hear how Jessica uses the natural rhythms of her day as triggers to practice mindfulness and pay closer attention to her communication processes. Next, Jessica shares some tips on how to approach your work mindfully, from sitting at your computer, changing your environment during your lunch break, and creating moments to pause and breathe throughout the day. She also introduces listeners to three practices you can build into your at-home habits to help you stay rooted in the present moment. Tune in to hear some powerful tips you can implement today. Key Points From This Episode:Today's topic: 10 tips to help you prioritize mindfulness in your everyday life. Tip number one: starting the day with mindful breathing.The yogic belief that breath is the one thing that keeps you in the present moment.Tip number two: taking 10 mindful breaths throughout the day.Setting reminders on your phone to remember to take the time to breathe. Tip number three: use the natural rhythms of your day as triggers to practice mindfulness.Jessica's habit of noticing yellow things as she drives to remind her to take a mindful breath.Tip number four: bring awareness to your communication processes.Tip number five: becoming aware of your bodily sensations when you sit at your computer.Tip number six: change your environment at lunch and eat mindfully.Tip number seven: closing your office door to take a moment to pause and breathe.Tip number eight: taking a moment at the end of the day to retrace the day's activities.Tip number nine: create an unwinding routine when you get home in the evenings.How the habit of washing your hands when you get home in the evening can be an opportunity to practice mindfulness.Tip number ten: bring awareness to your body and breathing when you fall asleep at night.An invitation to work these into your day as we prepare for next week's episode on mindset.Tweetables:“Yogis believe that the breath is the one thing that keeps you in the present moment.

We're excited to be chatting with Zeez and Eric, Co-founders of WellnessDAO. Many times, especially in web3, I think, we find ourselves putting off our mental health and wellbeing in order to keep up with all the development news and speculation. Today we will explore this topic framed by the personal journeys of Zeez and Eric, and WellnessDAO. We start off by learning of both of their own wellness practices such as yoga, meditation and journaling, and how it influences how they connect and engage with the community. We also discuss how NFTs can be used to promote and reward participation, and aligning the community as a whole. Lastly, we close out on a conversation about the importance of having a clear mission to inspire a strong culture and future development of the DAO.  I truly enjoyed my chat with Zeez and Eric; and I hope you did too.

One of the first things that struck me about my discussion with Ratnadevi is how she noted that there were so many different examples of impermanence that we could work with. She knew that her mother was dying. We are wherever we are with the pandemic, our climate is in crisis, and Ukraine is under attack. These are all pretty significant reminders of impermanence. As Ratnadevi and I pondered the changes we face in our world and in ourselves, we did not let go of hope. In fact, she discussed active hope. Meaning, not just wishing for positive change – but finding the steps that you can take to move forward with that change. And to be able to take those steps, you need to be in a place of acceptance.

No one is born with a mindfulness practice.  It takes time to discover your needs, to personalize your practice, and to cultivate that practice as you evolve as a mindful person.  Dr. Sima Porten is a skilled urologic cancer surgeon and incorporates mindfulness into her everyday routine.  Both her surgical skills and her mindfulness practice developed over an extended period of time and minor adjustments are continually required to reach the expert levels at which she performs.  In this episode we talk about developing and refining a mindfulness practice as a surgeon – how to incorporate those skills into the operating room, clinical care, and our home lives.  Dr. Porten also recently completed a clinical trial investigating the impact of mindfulness on perioperative outcomes for patients undergoing a major cancer operation.  Her balance and positive attitude are an inspiration to all who know her, and hopefully to all who listen to this episode.

As we get ready for the launch of season two next week on Safe, Welcoming, and Inclusive Schools, season one concludes with a wellness discussion focused on students. Sara Roadman, first grade teacher in Eugene, has been practicing mindfulness with students since 2019. She uses many different mindfulness strategies including eyebreaks, noticing what's around you, yoga, one-minute guided meditations, affirmation meditations, and breathing exercises. By adding these strategies to the daily routine, students have grown to be very comfortable with mindfulness. Most of her students know 10 yoga poses! Sara also discusses the power of appreciation circles where students simply make eye contact with other students and appreciate the opportunity to be in in-person school; some of her young students haven't been in face-to-face school since preschool. Sara has also found that these mindfulness techniques help kids with Covid-related worries and anxieties that are unique to today's students.   Resources: 4 Ways to Cultivate Mindfulness in the Classroom (video) - edutopia A Mindful Minute Helps Students Arrive in the Classroom (video) - Mindful Schools Best Practices for Bringing Mindfulness into Schools - mindful Integrating Mindfulness in Your Classroom Curriculum - edutopia The Mindful Schools Podcast

Each year, empirical studies are added to the mountain of research demonstrating the numerous benefits of mindfulness. In the K-12 classroom, mindfulness practices can deliver brief, but effective social emotional interventions for students. In this episode of BRIGHT, we chat with Jodie Kleymeer, a media specialist for Lake Shore Public Schools who teaches a help desk class for students. Jodie shares her personal journey in discovering the power of meditation in the midst of the pandemic and shares three tips for bringing mindfulness into the classroom.

“If you want to become a better you—read. Reading gives the opportunity to learn and experience things that you won't have the opportunity to do in any other environment. It lets you develop empathy for other people. It lets you develop creativity. And it also lets you understand how people communicate with each other. Reading is definitely the most important thing that people can do to improve themselves and their situation.”  — Jonathan DeYoe

Brooke Sumi and Becca Jesperson created In This Moment Box for kids. They wanted them to fully understand that life does not exist outside the present moment. Brooke has her masters in marriage and family therapy. She has spent the majority of her career working in a forensic setting with individuals who committed offenses against others. Brooks saw the power and efficacy of mindfulness and meditation while working in high-risk institutions, both for herself and the clients. Her current purpose includes introducing these concepts to children, looking through a more preventative lens versus a rehabilitation lens.  Becca has her master's in social work. After graduating, she worked at Sandridge a civil commitment center providing treatment for high-risk adult sex offenders here. She became experienced incorporating mindfulness in to her work as well as her own life. Much of Becca's work has been focused on helping individuals after they are involved with the criminal justice system. She is committed now to providing preventative resources, to help people earlier in life.At In This Moment, their mission is to help as many children as possible experience the benefits of mindfulness and living in the present moment. They recognize there are some children less fortunate than others. In an effort to provide more resources to those children, a percentage of sales will go to donating craftivity boxes to children in foster care. You can find In This Moment Box, along with Brook & Bekah at In This Moment (inthismomentbox.com)On Instagram @inthismomentboxOn Facebook In This Moment Box

Mindfulness practices are not just for yoga! When you take them beyond the mat, you begin to feel better and live a life you thrive in. While many people think mindfulness is something you do while in yoga class, there are many ways to bring it into your life. It doesn't have to be complicated, but the results are so beneficial!

It refers to an awareness that arises from paying attention when living on purpose, being present in the moment and doing it all in a non judgmental way. The root is in compassion, both with others and ourselves. Overall wellness isn't just about the food we eat, it has to do with the wellness of our mind, body and spirit. We put a lot of emphasis on the food piece and not enough emphasis on the mind and spirit. Mindfulness helps us focus on all areas. While the mindfulness practice starts on the yoga mat, the practice can be brought into regular life with amazing results. Because the world today is filled with technology and instant access to just about everything, being mindful takes effort. Pillars of Mindfulness Mindfulness is not just one thing. There are a variety of characteristics that make up the concept of being mindful. A few of them are: Being purposefulNon judgmentBeing present in the momentCuriosity and self awareness These aspects can be woven in to every day actions but can also be part of a meditation practice. Mindfulness is multifaceted and can be done in just about every situation. Bringing Mindfulness into Life Many people start with yoga in order to get familiar with a mindful practice. There are so many types of yoga, and something for just about eveyrone. It can even be as simple as breath work, closing your eyes and just breathing as you pay attention to your breath. You can also begin with meditation. It can be done with music, just sitting in quiet or simply taking a few minutes to focus on the moment. It doesn't have to be complicated. Another way to practice mindfulness is journaling. From full journaling or just writing down a few things you are grateful for, it helps you focus on the moment. You can also just simply be in the moment. Sitting and being. It's that simple. Many people think that you have to rid your mind of all thoughts, This isn't true, it's ok to be aware of them, you simply need bring yourself back. Mindful eating

Imagine an entire school pausing, turning inward, and dedicating several unbroken minutes to mindfulness guided by a prompt overlaid with classical music. Imagine each student, teacher, and school staff member beginning the day with this experience. You can almost feel the collective exhale and see the clear minds emerging from each musical moment. This is exactly what happens in classrooms and schools that partner with Mindful Music Moments, a program that brings mindfulness practice to K-12 students in partnership with world-class performing arts organizations. In the second episode of our Mindfulness Education miniseries, Mindful Music Moments creator Stacy Sims explains just what makes this program so powerful, and how educators can begin to practice some of the most effective aspects of mindfulness right now.

There’s a natural tendency to view different elements of our lives as being unique and distinct from one another: what we do at home, or what we do as part of our personal growth journey, is somehow fundamentally different from what we do at work.

When was the last time you were stressed out? For most of us, stress dominates our lives and it is important to learn to manage it. Our minds and our lives are constantly moving at 100 miles per hour and the evolution of our digital society isn't helping. So what can we do to combat the stress? The answer is slowing down through mindfulness and meditation and we know no better person to guide us through this topic than our good friend Stacy Conlon, aka The Zen Girl. Stacy is also the Director of Business Development for the Lean Startup Co, so we talk plenty of entrepreneurship before Stacy leads us through a special exercise that can help us all avoid burnout during the everyday hustle. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/life-on-brand/message

Mindfulness is for everyone. So many of us just don’t realize it yet. Mindfulness is not just for some people who are spiritual or privileged or educated. It’s a simple practice of remembering to be present. For the most part, humans are not great at being present—at least not in “modern” society. I’m not great it. I’ve gotten better over the years and continue to improve, but I wouldn’t say that I’m great at it. Because it’s far too easy to forget to be present and dive back into our past and dissect what’s happened—or—to imagine a future and what might happen and how we’ll handle it. This is what drives me to build something better and create a tool that I’ve been craving. Perhaps you’ve been craving it too. I don’t want Mindfulness to be hard. I don’t want it to be complicated or “good” or for some people. I want it to be as easy as choosing a different app to tap—instead of the ones with endless scrolling. I’m committed to Recollect honoring humanity—which is to respect our individual preferences, beliefs, and experiences. To not judge who is worthy is who is not. But to create a framework that is so lovely to use that anyone can fill it with whatever content matters to them. We’re on our way. We’re making progress. We’ve got our first investor (super exciting) and we’re raising the money we need to take this next level. If you haven’t heard: We’ve been testing the prototype version of Recollect with great success—if you’d like to join the community that’s using the prototype, please head to recollectbetter.com and request an invite!

Rhonda Magee is a law professor at the University of San Francisco, a longtime mindfulness teacher, and a fellow of the Mind & Life Institute. Rhonda is a featured presenter in Sounds True's Waking Up in the World—a 10-day online event showcasing prominent voices who embody the meeting between social action and spiritual exploration. This special episode of Insights at the Edge is drawn from a previous presentation given by Rhonda as part of our Mindfulness Monthly subscription program. Here she explores how mindfulness practice can be used to uncover our biases and help us understand any privilege we carry in our interactions with others. Rhonda encourages us to fully consider how aspects such as race, gender, and economic background have come to shape our perception of the world. Finally, Rhonda leads us in a guided meditation to inquire deeply into how our environments have guided us to this moment in our lives. (63 minutes) Tami's Takeaway We often hear how mindfulness can help us discover our common humanity. Here, law professor Rhonda Magee helps us embrace what is unique about each of us: our embodied experience as a particular person with a specific human inheritance, residing in a particular place, with a particular position, skin color, gender, and sexual orientation. We are applying mindfulness to what makes us different. And what a critical skill this is if we are going to learn to take a different person's position and work together to bring mindfulness to what Rhonda calls "the cutting edge of mindfulness"—shifting our institutions and social structures to reflect our deepest values.

Process Improvement.  Productivity. Project management.  You would think with a company that offers these services to corporate clients, words like mindfulness and vision wouldn’t necessarily be a part of the conversation.  But, you would be wrong.   Adriana Girdler created the MVP approach (stands for Mindfulness, Vision and Productivity) because she noticed that in order to help her clients achieve their goals, she needed to incorporate these more “soft” concepts and practices.     But believe me, they are not soft at all.  As a matter of fact, Adriana and I have an impassioned conversation about how VITAL getting clear on our vision - who we are, what we’re here to do, who we serve, etc. - is to true business success!  And how QUICKLY things unfold when you do the work to answer these questions!   During this conversation, we talk about the idea of a visual vision and why it’s so powerful.  We also discuss the difference between your mission and your vision.  Adriana shares the habits she’s cultivated over the years that allow her to stay in tuned with her own purpose and vision.     Finally, she touches upon how she “walks the walk” with her own team and what her next steps are for her own vision!

Megan’s Parent Footprint moment comes from a place of gratitude and is about connecting daily (really it’s not so hard to do when you take her advice about cell phones!).

In 2014, the American Psychological Association deemed teens, during the school year, the most stressed group of people in the United States. Teens experience stress much the way adults do, but do not yet have the skills and mechanisms to effectively work with it. To address this dilemma, Peace in Schools launched the first for-credit high school mindfulness course in the nation in 2014 in collaboration with Portland’s Wilson High School to great success. Today their program is also available to high school students at Rosemary Anderson, Lincoln and Cleveland High Schools and will be available this coming school year in Madison, Franklin and Alliance Meek High Schools, all as for credit elective courses. Caverly Morgan founded Peace in Schools and leads the Peace in Schools teaching team, develops the secular mindfulness curriculums, and works directly with teens. Caverly has been practicing mindfulness since 1995, including eight years in a monastic setting. She also offers awareness practice for adults though her nonprofit One House of Peace. Caverly is known for the insight, passion and humor she brings to her transformative work with students of all ages. Listen in to learn about this innovative and effective semester long program for teens and the resources it provides. - See more at: http://kboo.fm/media/51016-peace-schools-bringing-mindfulness-teens-interview-caverly-morgan#sthash.x1DB0Cfs.dpuf
