Description

While meditation and mindfulness promise peace, the reality of these practices can involve more struggle than serenity. 

From meditation cushions in India and Burma to her role as Director of Mindfulness Education at UCLA’s Mindful Awareness Research Center, our guest has navigated both the traditional and scholarly worlds of mindfulness and has come to embrace an expansive, objectless, and effortless approach.

Diana Winston is the author of The Little Book of Being and co-author of Fully Present, and is here on the podcast to share a practice that I resonate deeply with and have wanted to share with you. 

Join us as as Diana discusses Natural Awareness and offers us a direct experience of the luminous as she guides us in meditation. 

Whether you're a seasoned meditator seeking a fresh perspective, or someone newly venturing into this territory, today's episode offers an alternative and accessible approach to the practice of mindfulness.
