Mindfulness Off the Cushion Podcast

Mindfulness is becoming more widely practiced around the world because it is scientifically proven to help reduce stress, anxiety, depression — and improve our resilience and overall wellness — and that’s exactly what the world needs right now. We explore what is perhaps the most challenging aspect of mindfulness: being more present in our daily lives and bringing more compassionate awareness to our relationships, ourselves, and beyond.This podcast is sponsored by the Austin Mindfulness Center.

    The Art of Mindful Communication with Mudita Nisker and Dan Clurman

    Our episode today is being published around the holiday season. I couldn’t imagine a better gift than this: the gift of mindful communication, or skillful communication. We all know that communication is a fundamental part of human interaction and plays a crucial role in shaping our relationships and human experiences. I wish topics like effective communication and emotional regulation were taught in a more intentional way at home and school. There is a wealth of power hidden in the simple-ye...

    Mindfulness Push-ups with Brother Dave Kenneally

    Special guest Brother Dave Kenneally has been practicing mindfulness for over twenty years. A former Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps AND a former Buddhist Monk in the tradition of the Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, he seems to have a penchant for shaving his head and wearing a uniform. Or perhaps it’s his love of service. After spending six years living in Buddhist Monasteries and Practice Centers, he now resides in San Diego, CA and travels the world teaching mindfulness. Dave i...

Simple, and yet, not as easy to do as you might think.We can do this for others as we lay the groundwork for healthy communication. And we also do this for ourselves.

    Emotional Intelligence at Work with Mindfulness Instructor Luis Gil

    Today’s episode may not be for you, because today we’re going to approach the topic of corporate wellness. But, wait. Before you move on to another episode, I want to make you a promise. If you give our guest a few moments, he will likely teach you something that you can apply in your own life. I mean, look, here’s the thing. You can’t have corporate wellness without healthy people. And health is not just about your physical fitness. At the end of the day, you simply can’t be fully prese...

    Sitting with Our Deepest Fears

    For the final episode of season three with our special guest and mindfulness teacher Geeta Cowlagi, we look back on our brief time together and ask - have we developed the wisdom, courage, and compassion necessary to sit with ourselves and ‘have a cup of tea’? Sometimes, as we’ve discovered, sitting with ourselves can be very hard to do. Mindfulness presents us a challenge - when things get quiet and we get uncomfortable with ourselves, how do we turn towards, rather than away from,...
