Podcasts about mindfulness why

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.
