Over the course of her career, she has had the good fortune of training with master teachers such as Jon Kabat-Zinn, Jack Kornfield, Thich Nhat Hanh, Daniel Rechtschaffen, Susan Kaiser Greenland, and many more. In this episode… Creating a space where kids or employees are free to make mistakes, grow, and learn sounds risky, but risks can lead to the greatest rewards. Parents and leaders should know this better than anyone else. So, how can you create an environment that helps you and your team grow? Annmarie Chereso believes that parenting is leadership, leadership is influence, and the way you parent is the way you lead. Also, people operate efficiently when they are free. When people are in a contracted state, they shut down their access to creativity, intuition, innovation, and a deep curiosity about the unknown. So, as a leader, it's not about being in control. You have to be self-aware, tap into your innate power, and move past your fears and limiting beliefs to step into your most empowered self. Dov Pollack has an insightful conversation with Annmarie Chereso, the Founder of BringIt! Home, where they discuss effective parenting and leadership skills. Annmarie explains the correlation between parenting and leadership, the value of creating a free environment where people can make mistakes, grow, and learn, and the common mistakes parents and leaders make.

Ashima Goyal is a writer, an editor, a socio-emotional learning educator, an artist, a community-builder (and visionary behind Romania's first Karma Kitchen), a cook (and food blogger!), and a spirited volunteer. Her service has spanned from online space-holding, to hands-on direct disaster aid in grassroots villages after serious floods in Uttarakhand, to transformative 'hands, head, heart' retreats. Her work has focused on transforming her environment by first transforming herself through small acts of service. Her mantra is "bloom where you are planted." Her education includes Electrical Engineering from IITB and Masters in Social Policy & Development from London School of Economics. She taught mindfulness to elementary school kids in Mongolia and Romania, and currently develops learning products that bring holistic education to school students. Through this interaction we learnt Ashima's definition of mindfulness and her approach to cultivating mindfulness. We understand the subject from the lens of children and how we can learn from children to be present, and at the same time support them in retaining their attention and awareness as they grow into adults. Ashima touched our hearts with her shining eyes, ear to ear smile, and simple explanations.

Os estudos comprovam que a prática da atenção plena traz inúmeros benefícios para nossa saúde: diminui a ansiedade, pode prevenir a depressão, melhora a cognição e ajuda a diminuir as distrações do cérebro. O estado de mindfulness funcionaria como um antídoto a viver no "modo" desatento e reativo, o famoso "piloto automático", que é a tendência da mente em aproximadamente 47% do tempo segundo pesquisas mais recentes, e que nos leva a reagir sem consciência às situações do dia a dia. Para as crianças, estudos também têm mostrado que os benefícios da prática do mindfulness para crianças são muitos! Consciência do corpo, sentimentos e emoções, facilidade de viver no presente, melhor desempenho acadêmico, melhora na atenção e maior facilidade de se colocar no lugar do outro são alguns deles!

Responde a esta pregunta ¿alguna vez al final del día, después de haber hecho mil cosas, agotada, te das cuenta de que no te ha cundido el día, que no has hecho nada de lo que tenías que haber hecho?, si tu respuesta es si, no te sientas mal, no pienses que no eres capaz, el mindfulness te va ayudar, no a trabajar más, si no a trabajar mejor y como consecuencia a mejorar tu autoestima. En este episodio hablamos entre otras cosas de multitarea, de productividad, de gestión de la concentración, y cómo no divagar mentalmente, manteniendo tu mente en el presente y no irte de excursión al futuro o al pasado. Es un episodio con mucho contenido práctico, Yolanda nos cuenta cómo empezar, qué necesitas para dar tus primeros pasos, cuando vamos a notar los resultados y cómo gestionar nuestras expectativas para no caer en el desánimo y abandonar, que es algo que el cerebro va a estar encantado de que abandones porque al principio es muy probable que te cueste fijarlo en tu día.

Hunter talks to Susan Kaiser Greenland about Mindfulness Together. Mindfulness practices help you become less reactive, so how can you share it with your kids? It helps kids enormously to carry with them a set of tools to help them whenever they get upset or life gets overwhelming. My guest today, Susan Kaiser Greenland, has made a career out of sharing these tools with kids in ways that truly make a difference. Some big takeaways from this episode include: 1. Self-compassion, keeping a sense of humor, and taking care of ourselves are the three most important things for parents 2. Mindfulness activities that help children when they are feeling upset or when they have “too much birthday” 3. Teach mindfulness games to kids first when they are NOT upset, so there’s less resistance Susan Kaiser Greenland is an internationally recognized leader in teaching mindfulness and meditation to children, teens, and families. She co-founded The Inner Kids Foundation, a not-for-profit that taught secular mindfulness in schools and community-based programs in greater LA.

“Sometimes, we have to completely let go of intuitions that are actually giving us false information about reality.” Annaka HarrisWhat is consciousness? How does it arise? And why does it exist?We take ‘experience' for granted. But the very existence of consciousness raises profound questions: Why would any collection of matter in the universe be conscious? How are we able to think about this? And why should we?Our guide for today's philosophic and scientific exploration of these mysteries is Annaka Harris.An editor and consultant for science writers specializing in neuroscience and physics, Annaka is the author of the children's book I Wonder, a collaborator on the Mindful Games Activity Cards, by Susan Kaiser Greenland, and a volunteer mindfulness teacher for the Inner Kids organization.Annaka's work has appeared in The New York Times and all of her guided meditations and lessons for children are available on the Waking Up app, the digital meditation platform created by her husband Sam Harris — the renown author, public intellectual, blogger, and podcast host.Annaka’s latest book — which recently hit the New York Times bestseller list and provides the focus for today’s conversation — is entitled, Conscious: A Brief Guide to the Fundamental Mystery of the Mind. A must-read for any and all curious about one of the Universe's great mysteries, it's a brief yet mind-bending read that challenges our assumptions about the nature, origin and purpose of consciousness.Equal parts nerdy and fun, this is a deeply profound conversation that tackles the very nature of consciousness itself — and what it means to be a living being having ‘an experience'.We discuss how Annaka became interested in this field and the path undertaken to writing this book.Parsing instinct from scientific fact, we deconstruct our assumptions about consciousness and grapple with its essential nature — what is consciousness exactly? And where does it physically reside?We discuss meditation and artificial intelligence. We dive into plant consciousness. We explore panpsychism (a theory I quite fancy). And we muse about the role of spirituality in scientific inquiry.All told, this tackles the current limits of science and human understanding and leaves us wondering, is it possible to truly understand everything?The visually inclined can watch our entire conversation on YouTube here: bit.ly/annakaharris460 (please subscribe!) and the podcast is of course available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.An intellectual delight from start to finish, I thoroughly enjoyed talking to Annaka and I sincerely hope you enjoy the listen.

Author and educator, Susan Kaiser Greenland, chats with Lama Surya Das about teaching the younger generation. How do we not only bring old teachings and wisdom into the modern world but bring it into the secular world as well? Lama Sura Das and Susan discuss the role of family and devotion. The importance of being open to the perspective and wisdom children have to offer is emphasized. How do we teach loving kindness and compassion without raising children to be passive and without boundaries? All this and more on this week's episode of Awakening Now!   Show Notes 01:05 - After a warm salutation and brief introduction, Lama Surya and Susan get right into the topic of bringing mindfulness and awareness into a secular education system. How do we teach our next generation the principals of the practice to bring the more peace, harmony, and wisdom into the world? We also need to remember to listen as much as we teach because young minds have plenty of wisdom to share as well. 3:55 - Susan talks about the now common practice of young adults spending longer periods of their post education life at home. Despite the societal stigmas surrounding the practice, "Failure to Launch", Susan and Lama Surya agree that there are great developmental benefits to the arrangement for the whole family. Lama talks about leaving home for India early on, and how it affected him. How he built a spiritual family and community while he has been away. 10:35 - More talk of how working together with and listening to the younger generation is important for everyone. How our future is interconnected and we need cooperate and work together to forge forward. Susan reflects on how older universal principals and teachings have made their way to the present. But have they been watered down and simplified too much? How do we introduce devotion without seeming hokey or losing the structure? 18:25 - Beyond just modernizing old practices, what does it look like bringing them into a completely secular context? Teaching kindness and boundaries without raising kids to be pushovers. Even as adults we need be mindful of discernment and what really matters and deliver that lesson to our youth. 26:50 - A story of the Dalai Lama visiting President Clinton and the lesson he instilled. He said to the president," You are the most powerful man in the world and everything you do should be full of compassion and the wish to help". How certain words can be loaded and how we should approach them in the modern world. 32:15 - One of the most important lessons that Susan has learned is concisely unpacking concepts to children one piece at a time. The usefulness in breaking things down like this applies not only to kids but to adults as well. 39:40 - How moderation and balance are as important as ever in these times of extreme views and actions. We need to apply the ABC's of mindfulness (attention, balance, and compassion) more often then we do now. Susan explores the concept of balance further and how it is important to recognize your threshold and limits. 44:45 - Mindfulness is readdressed, Susan explains the importance of teaching the skills of quieting, seeing more clearly, and re-framing toward caring and connecting. Susan Kaiser Greenland is a lawyer, teacher, and author from Los Angeles, CA. Kaiser Greenland and her husband founded The InnerKids Foundation, a not-for-profit organization that taught secular mindfulness in schools and community-based programs in the greater Los Angeles area from 2001 through 2009.
