Our most recent podcast provides a stimulating discussion with meditation
and mindfulness teacher, Allison Liss. At a 10 day Vipassana silent retreat, Allison
had a direct experience that changed her perspective on life. She recognized
the power of the mind and that things are not as obvious as we think. Over
several years, she has developed a sequence of meditation techniques to help
people have a direct experience more quickly. In this podcast she touches on
those techniques, why we benefit from meditation, the difference between
meditation and mindfulness, how to get started, and much more.
Har-Prakash shares his personal journey with mindfulness and how he is carrying those lessons forward in his curriculum and upcoming workshop.
