  • The mouth noises kill it for me.

    Love the content. Love the sound of your voice. But when you start each paragraph, you click your tongue against your teeth or the roof of your mouth and make this clicking sound, and it drives me crazy. I know, I should meditate on that and not let it bother me. Just honest feedback.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Live from the Sitting Group – Kind Mindfulness
Q: What do we do when we just have one mindful breath and then the mind goes off?
The answer emphasizes meeting the wandering mind with right attitude and gentleness, recognizing that momentary distractions are natural, and cultivating resiliency by staying with the process rather than forcing calm. Observe without judgment and gently re-anchor with the breath.
Mindfulness for Beginners: What is Mindfulness?
Q: What is mindfulness?
Mindfulness is defined as both being present and recognizing how experiences serve us; it incorporates an awareness of emotions and reactions, particularly looking at how they arise and affect our behavior.
