Today we’ll be listening to mindfulness therapist Colin Thompson as he takes us on a journey from the origins of Buddhism to modern practice. Ranging from the understandings of the Buddha to Jon Kabat Zinn, W. H. Auden, Ezra Bayda and Carl Jung, Colin describes how mindfulness develops our attention to the present moment. The intersections between Jungian psychology and mindfulness are explored particularly with reference to the Shadow and the Self archetypes. This episode also includes a short mindfulness exercise.
