Mindfulness and Meditation

Brad Domek Season 1 Episode 13

On today’s podcast the team delves into the topic of mindfulness and meditation. Yolanda, Tessa and Dan discuss what mindfulness entails, and how they came to be aware of and practice mindfulness themselves. 

We discuss some of the literature and research supporting the use of mindfulness in various populations, in addition to some of the self-reported benefits and physiological adaptations that occur as a result of long-term mindfulness practice. We finish with some practical takeaways for listeners who are looking to dip their toes into the world of mindfulness. We hope you enjoy!
