Practical Mindfulness

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.
