Late last year, I was invited to speak on the radio show, Parenting Made Easy. Here’s a short extract from the beginning of the show:
On Mindfulness
There are two aspects to this: mindful living and mindfulness practice.
Mindful living is living with attention and with awareness. It is when you are fully present in any situation, aware of what you are doing and of your surroundings, making choices with full awareness.
And the other aspect is mindfulness practice, which are practices that help you to become a more focused person.
On Breath-Focused Mindfulness Practice
We all breathe throughout our lives and we hardly ever pay any attention to it, which is fine, normally. But once in a while we should stop and really turn our attention inwards to this very basic function of living; this gives us the ability to focus. It also brings calmness, which I think is also very important to living mindfully so that we are not buffeted around by our emotions all the time.
