Today we’ll explore mindfulness and what it is. We’ll take a look at where the English term came from and the meaning underneath it. We’ll look at the essential meditation practice— mindfulness of breath— and how this cornerstone practice works--including its essential steps.

Welcome to my podcast, Your Mindful Life, hosted by me, Mary Slocum. In this, my very first episode, I share my story with you. How I got into Mindfulness and how it helps me navigate life with more ease and joy. I’ll share the background to how the podcast came into being. And, I’ll share my learnings and experiences so that you, too, can live mindfully with ease and joy.
