Synopsis
Mindfulness meditation is not a thing it is an activity of doing. It is a key to an eight faceted practice capable of freeing us from discontent. Being mindful is being deeper than the ocean, stronger than practiced aversion, quicker than chronic bad habits, and easier than pie!The Mindfuling podcast frequently includes guided meditation, talks, interviews, sounds, and prior to episodes M#180 a fictional serial radio drama entitled Hot Zombies Cool Buddhas. More at http://www.mindfuling.orgPlease note: No podcast is a substitute for real live meditation with other humans. But it is a nice supplemental for the audio-minding!

M#283 Chipper
01/10/2022 Duration: 17minIn a very real way, instrusive sounds are gifts when practicing! Hear it and practice being with the conditions you can't control. This dosn't mean you don't at times wisely adjust conditions, like turn down the AC when it not needed etc.

M#282 Extremely
19/07/2022 Duration: 23minHot enough for you? Cold enough? Is it now enough for you!? What is the story and what is the reality? Practicing with extremes requires you to notice them first, last and always. Put another way be actively mindful. Being with the sensation of extreme heat is a relatively easy practice, object, to be with. Recognizing when pain has been approached and adjusting is the wise thing to do. Often a simple adjustment is part of the practice not the end. Note: this recording has more wind buffeting noise than usual so adjusting your bass or volume is recommended.
