In this podcast interview, I talk with Cynde Denson, a Colorado-based mindfulness coach, yoga teacher, facilitator, and leadership expert. Cynde talks about her background, the evolution of her practice and how she's been able to work with many clients--both corporate and individual--to grapple with specific challenges and move to a place of mindful balance, centeredness, and awareness. If you want to find out more about Cynde and how to work with her, you can visit her website https://cyndedenson.com for more details. Until then, I hope you enjoy this interview with a very wise and articulate woman. Music by Moment of Now - 'Awake'.

In this podcast, I interview long-time meditator Dr. Jerome Freedman as he details his extraordinary journey from his first spontaneous meditation experience at age five all the way through his studies with illumined teachers such as Swami Rama, Shri Rajneesh, Father Eli, Thich Nhat Hanh, Gabriel Roth, and Helen Palmer. This eventually led to his recent studies in mindfulness with Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach. Having gone through a personal healing journey with both himself and his son, Jerome is a living testament to the power of meditation and healing. Dr. Freedman has authored seven books regarding meditation and mindfulness and currently leads a mindfulness meditation sangha in the Bay Area.
