Jon Kabat-Zinn, from whom I have learned so much about mindfulness, stress, and living a life of equanimity, has a great description.
\\nHe says that most of us go through life thinking that our body is simply here to hold our head on as we think our way through our lives.
\\nAnd he\\u2019s right!
\\nWhen we \\u2018live in our heads\\u2019 we fall victim to the aversion and clinging that come along with expectations of how things are \\u2018supposed\\u2019 to be.
\\nSo we try to recruit our body into the process.
\\nBut when our body experiences stress, overwhelm, and dis-regulation, we can use the executive functioning brain to regulate ourselves.
\\nIn today\\u2019s episode, I talk about how it\'s really about employing the brain AND the body in our moment-to-moment experience:
\\nIf you\\u2019re not busy next Wednesday evening, I strongly encourage you to join us for the mid-week mindfulness meeting.
\\nWe do a guided meditation, followed by a discussion that never, ever disappoints!
