Practical Mindfulness

Synopsis

Training exercises that work. Practical Mindfulness approaches mindfulness and meditation from a hands-on, how-to, irreverent perspective—appealing directly to smart listeners curious about meditation. By applying Dr. Sazima's training routines, learn to spend more time in real engagement with the world.A practical approach to finding "home." We all search for that safe, comfortable feeling of peace of mind—our inner "home." When we face challenges—economic crisis or a life-threatening health problem—we can realize with blinding clarity there is no sustainable outside solution. Those without a more developed interior awareness can suffer stress, anxiety, and depression. Our real home, a place we can always return to no matter what, is actually inside of us. We're practically there.Meditation training from an expert. Dr. Sazima is a board-certified psychiatrist, educator of family doctors-in-training at Stanford's Family Medicine Residency, and experience meditator and meditation teacher. He is also a survivor of a rare bone cancer who used the powerful practice of meditation to navigate his medical crisis. Now, he is on a "pay it forward" mission to help us gain a practical understanding and mastery of mindful awareness, and to show us why and how meditation works.
