In part two of our exploration of mindfulness, Professor Douglas Brooks summons his extensive knowledge of ancient texts to help listeners access a deep understanding of mindfulness and its practices.

Derik Mills and Professor Brooks discuss how mindfulness is not just something you’re practicing on your yoga mat. It is a moment to moment practice that you develop every day.  Professor Brooks believes the true benefits will come with commitment. “Little by little, again and again,” is the way to approach this rewarding  practice.
