My first guest episode is with the wonderful Ana Maia, a good friend and a mindfulness meditation teacher who is passionate about bringing awareness based tools and resources as means to embrace change. In this episode we discuss: Mindfulness: what it means to be mindful, how this is an active rather than passive state, and how to come back to your center. Ana’s powerful question of ‘What If?’ and how you can use that to break patterns. Letting go of ‘Should’ and the freedom that comes from acceptance. The Buddhist concept of Mara and how to use it to move through difficult challenges. The Māori word ‘Aroha’: presence and breath is love.
