Episode Details

Tiny sessions with big results might be our "way in" to meditation and mindfulness. Indeed, a small practice of it can be life-changing. Let's dip our toes in the water together, learning about minis, and then tackling a slightly longer practice in the form of a brief walking meditation session. Don't let the perfect (20 minute mediation on a mat and ohmms) be the enemy of the really awesome (mindfulness minis)!

LET'S TALK THE WALK!

• From the article: There is not sufficient data generated yet to answer this question. Some studies suggest that practicing even 5-10 minutes a day can provide some benefits. Some studies suggest that there is a correlation between change in symptoms and amount of practice (i.e. those that practiced more derived greater benefits).
