This the first episode in our continued discussion on mindfulness.  Specifically we highlight the ideas of Brad Warner, a Zen Buddhist and author, and his thought that Mindfulness actually IS Buddhist... not just a secular take on a practice.  We discuss the intensity of mediation and the importance of having others around you whom can speak the language of experience.  We also highlight the difficulty of ideas having the run the gambit of societally accepted ideas in order to find their place.
