    Trauma-Sensitive Meditation Options, with Dr. Willoughby Britton

    Trauma-Sensitive Meditation Options, with Dr. Willoughby Britton

    You may have been told that trauma lives in the body until we’re willing to feel it. Research shows, however, that it is counter-productive to turn toward this pain before we feel resourced, safe and supported. So, how are we to know when to apply the gas in our practice, versus when to hit the brakes?  
    In this episode, we hear from mindfulness and meditation researcher, Dr. Willoughby Britton. She shares helpful advice you can apply today to bring more trauma sensitivity to your practice and teaching. Her research into the adverse effects of meditation (Episode #047) has helped her understand how meditation guides can help people feel more empowered in their practice. 
    This talk is a brief excerpt from Dr. Willoughby Britton’s guest teacher presentation to those enrolled in the Mindfulness Exercises Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program. This unique, online, self-paced certification program balances pre-recorded webinars with live mentorship. Students in the program learn directly from Sean Fargo, his team, and some of the world’s most respected mindfulness and meditation experts. 
    Train to share mindfulness with confidence, compassion and skill within a supportive online community. Learn more at mindfulnessexercises.com/certify or, schedule a 15-minute call with Sean to see if this program is right for you at https://calendly.com/sean-108/application

    Sensing Beyond The Body, a Meditation with Sean Fargo

    Sensing Beyond The Body, a Meditation with Sean Fargo

    Ancient wisdom traditions recognize the mind not as something limited to the brain, but as an expansive, heart-based awareness that extends throughout the body and beyond. One benefit of mindfulness meditation is that it can help us learn to connect to such awareness, for a profound experience of presence.
    In this guided meditation, led by Sean Fargo, we are invited to bring an awake and alert energy to the body as a whole. Using this embodied energy, we then sense into the space beyond for a more expansive experience of the mind. 
    Listen in a safe, quiet place where you can be relatively free from distraction. Practice with eyes opened or closed, in a posture that balances comfort with alertness. May this meditation be of benefit to you in your mindfulness journey.
    Sean Fargo is a former Buddhist monk and founder of the online resource, Mindfulness Exercises. Mindfulness Exercises has shared mindfulness with over 6 million people via free and premium services including downloadable meditations, meditation scripts, mindfulness worksheets, courses, content and live online retreats.

    Becoming Your Own Hero, with Brian Johnson and Sean Fargo

    Becoming Your Own Hero, with Brian Johnson and Sean Fargo

    Brian Johnson, philosopher, founder and CEO, has spent the better part of the last 20 years studying ancient wisdom and the modern science that supports it. His new book, Areté: Activate Your Heroic Potential, partners that wisdom with the practices that help people integrate it into their daily lives. 
    Described as “more wisdom in less time,” Areté is a collection of 451 potentially life changing ideas, presented in easy-to-digest microchapters. The book mirrors Brian’s popular online app, Heroic.us, a self-development platform that helps us become the heroes we are meant to be.
    In this episode, Brian Johnson speaks with Sean Fargo about what it means to be a hero, and why Areté is the culmination of his life’s work.

    Cultivating Courage, A Meditation with Sean Fargo

    Cultivating Courage, A Meditation with Sean Fargo

    When we think of courage we often imagine a fierce energy. One that pushes obstacles aside, cuts through barriers and fights battles. But courage can have a gentle energy, too. Sometimes, courage can look and feel like steady, caring presence - especially during mindfulness meditation and the practice of feeling what we feel.
    In this guided meditation, led by Sean Fargo, we are invited to sense into this moment, just as it is. With courage, we practice staying with our experience, allowing it to change and unfold as it is naturally inclined to do. 
    Listen in a safe, quiet place where you can be relatively free from distraction. Practice with eyes opened or closed, in a posture that balances comfort with alertness. May this meditation be of benefit to you in your mindfulness journey.

    Hosting Your First Mindfulness Retreat, with Cory Muscara

    Hosting Your First Mindfulness Retreat, with Cory Muscara

    Mindfulness retreats are a valuable opportunity to step away from routine and apply ourselves to deepening our mindfulness. We may devote a single day or multiple days to retreat, either at home or at a retreat center. 
    Meditation teachers who have completed retreats of their own know full well the benefits of such focused attention on their practice. However, the thought of guiding others through this intimate, intense experience can be intimidating. 
    In this episode, we hear from meditation teacher and retreat leader Cory Muscara. Cory offers practical advice on leading meditation retreats and explains why it’s far more accessible than some mindfulness teachers may think. 
    This talk is a brief excerpt from Cory Muscara’s guest teacher presentation to those enrolled in the Mindfulness Exercises Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program. This unique, online, self-paced certification program balances pre-recorded webinars with live mentorship. Students in the program learn directly from Sean Fargo, his team, and some of the world’s most respected mindfulness and meditation experts.
