EP 471: Mindfulness = Playfulness

It is with heaviness in my heart that I record this episode about lightness of heart. I know, that sounds really weird! But in today’s episode I talk about how bringing a measure of playfulness into our mindfulness practice can be very helpful: A lot of people come to mindfulness practice because of very serious issues in their lives. For some, it’s health concerns… For others, it’s family issues… And for still others, it’s performance at work that they wish to improve through these practices. Interestingly, it seems that the more ‘Serious’ someone is about these practices, the more difficulty they have incorporating the practices into their lives. So I invite you, in dedication of the fragility of this impermanent human experience, to bring playfulness into your daily practice. And once you are able to be playful in your practice, see if you become a bit more playful in your life.
