from One Heart One Mind · host Thomas McConkie

Mindfulness practice is more popular than ever in Western culture. But how has mindfulness been westernized, not necessarily for the better? In this episode, listen to Thomas as he discusses the medicalization of mindfulness: "Take 10 minutes of body scan 3 times a week and call me in two months." He stresses the all-important relationship with a skillful teacher combined with finding the right technique to make significant progress on the path.
