About
Five acclaimed teachers and visionaries show us how mindfulness practice can boost our performance and creativity.
What, exactly, is mindfulness? It's a "baseline" of awareness and non-resistance that you can build on the cellular level.
Why practice it? Through mindfulness meditation, you rewire your neural pathways to calm yourself in any situation, better manage your emotions, amplify your attention and presence, gain insight into "unsolvable" problems, make wiser decisions, and improve all of your relationships.
What's more, all of these shifts create a ripple effect that benefits your family, friends, workplace, and community.
On Mindfulness and Meditation: Volume Two, you're invited to learn with these inspiring presenters:
Shinzen Young-"How Science Is Relevant to Your Meditation Practice"
Bonus meditation: "Untangle and Be Free"
Daniel Goleman, PhD-"Altered Traits: The Benefits of Mindfulness for Leadership and Emotional Intelligence"
Vidyamala Burch-"Free Your Mind When Your Body Hurts: An Introduction to Mindfulness-Based Pain Management"

Shinzen Young
Shinzen Young became fascinated with Asian culture while a teenager in Los Angeles. Later he enrolled in a PhD program in Buddhist Studies at the University of Wisconsin. Eventually, he went to Asia and did extensive training in each of the three major Buddhist traditions: Vajrayana, Zen and Vipassana. Upon returning to the United States, his academic interests shifted to the burgeoning dialogue between Eastern meditation and Western science. Shinzen is known for his innovative "interactive, algorithmic approach" to mindfulness, a system specifically designed for use in pain management, recovery support, and as an adjunct to psychotherapy. He leads meditation retreats throughout North America and has helped establish numerous mindfulness centers and programs. He also consults widely on meditation-related research, in both the clinical and the basic science domains. He often says: "My life's passion lies in exploring what may arise from the cross-fertilization of the best of the East with the best of the West."
Daniel Goleman
Daniel Goleman, PhD, covered the brain and behavioral sciences at the New York Times for 12 years. He is co-founder of the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learnings. His books include Emotional Intelligence, Social Intelligence, and Ecological Intelligence.
Vidyamala Burch
Vidyamala Burch has suffered from chronic back pain for more than 30 years due to congenital weakness, a car accident, and multiple surgeries. She is a cofounder of the well-respected Breathworks organization, which assists people experiencing chronic pain, illness, and stress in managing their condition through meditation, body awareness, and creative life approaches. Vidyamala resides in the UK.
