Dr. Laura Smallwood continues to discuss mindfulness in more detail.  Specifically, we discuss what mindfulness meditation is, and is not, and introduce body awareness through connecting to the breath. Dr. Smallwood explains the importance of why we focus on the breath and how this connects with day-to-day living, self knowledge and wisdom. Finally, we conclude the podcast with tips that listeners can do now to get started.
