Mark Van Buren: Your Life Is Meditation (#107)

Listen Later

This episode of the Wisdom Podcast features an interview with Mark Van Buren, a mindful living trainer, yoga and meditation instructor, personal trainer, and musician who has been promoting health and wellness for over a decade. He’s the author of A Fool’s Guide to Actual Happiness and Your Life IS Meditation. 

Mark discusses:

  • how it can sometimes feel like everyday life is in opposition to practice, and how we can transform our understanding of this seeming conflict;
  • the ways in which he applies mindfulness in daily life, including how driving to work can be like working on a koan;
  • how to turn interactions with difficult people into opportunities for practice;
  • what it means to experience a “profound okayness”;
  • and much more.

    • Correction: In this episode, Mark mentions 10,000 chants; he meant to say 100,000.

    The post Mark Van Buren: Your Life Is Meditation (#107) appeared first on The Wisdom Experience.
