I began to see that our practice can fall on a continuum, and I call it the spectrum of awareness.
Ever wondered how mindfulness can transform your life? This episode of The FitMind Podcast with Diana Winston might have the answers you're looking for. Diana, the Director of Mindfulness Education at UCLA's Mindful Awareness Research Center, brings over three decades of mindfulness practice and two decades of teaching experience to the table. Her journey is as fascinating as it is inspiring—she even spent a year as a Buddhist nun in Burma!
Diana's conversation with host Liam McClintock dives deep into the 'spectrum of awareness', a range of mindfulness practices from structured to more fluid and natural approaches. She highlights the concept of 'natural awareness', which involves a more effortless, objectless mindfulness, and explains how it complements more deliberate practices. Open monitoring, another key topic, is discussed as a way to notice experiences without judgment or analysis.
Throughout the episode, Diana shares personal stories and reflections, offering insights into how finding the right teacher can profoundly deepen your practice. If you're on a quest to enhance your mental fitness and explore the depths of mindfulness, this episode is a treasure trove of wisdom.
