Turning to the Present Moment: How Mindfulness Can Loosen an Inflexible Mindset

Episode 32, Series 2: "Bring Body, Speech & Mind to Life” Featuring: Wendy Hasenkamp and Adam Hanley, Geshe YongDong, and Alejandro Chaoul-Reich. As we make our way through life, each of us forms a unique perspective of the world and of our place in it. Having a simplified outlook tends to make our day go more smoothly and efficiently — until the world inevitably shifts around us, and our predictable responses no longer serve us. Research suggests that being attuned to the present moment can help us respond more accurately and fluidly to the challenges we face. Our panelists engage in lively conversation about the research and about meditation practices that can bring us to the present moment.
