Mindful Conversations with Shamash & Calvin

Episode 9: Wake-up Moments: the solution could be the problem

Listen Later

This week, Shamash and Calvin explore the eighth chapter of the Hero's Journey into mindfulness and acceptance: the Ordeal. Along with acceptance, what can commitment allow us to achieve, and how can we spot when commitment turns to stubbornness?

  • Social entrepreneur Kush Kanodia opens the episode with a story of commitment that led to a life-changing opportunity
  • Therapist Mari Williams shares her approach to helping people deal with those moments in life where we need the reassurance that we're going to be OK
  • Dr Mehwish Sharif discusses strength in vulnerability, reducing the clutter in clients' minds, and encouraging flexibility
  • ACT originator Dr Steven Hayes plays out a conversation about self-inflicted pain, and is candid about the difficulties he's faced with his own physical pain and the unhealthy thoughts that arose as a result.

    • Next week, we seize our reward and begin the journey back home.

    Mindful Conversations is hosted by mindfulness teacher Shamash Alidina and mindful storyteller Calvin Niles.
