Everyday Mindfulness: PRESENCE
Take 15 minutes to breathe, invite curiosity, balance your mind, and ... experience presence.
Maybe you're noticing a theme between the last few episodes and Everyday Mindfulness practices: something about you having more agency and power in your life than the common narratives want you to believe. After all, it's harder for them to meet their goals when you, as the saying goes, are the product.
Thanks to wisdom guide and Buddhist scholar/teacher Pamela Weiss for her many sparks of inspiration. Learn more about Pamela on her website, and in my book, The Happiness Hack, where I've featured her wisdom.

Pro tip: practicing presence is even better with two. Share this episode with a friend and explore the practice together.
It's also amazing to talk about presence with kids.
Thank you, sincerely. I appreciate you being here and hope you'll come back soon.
