Mindful of Death
Manage episode 216587162 series 1052363
Rachel Menzies researches the role of death anxiety in mental health. She is passionate about ancient history and psychology.
From Gilgamesh and Persephone, to the local death café and anxiety disorders, Rachel came to realise that a fear of death, and an avoidance of talking about it, is pervasive throughout human history.
For Rachel, mindfulness of death helps her to live deliberately and in the moment, living with meaning, purpose, and a deep appreciation of life.
It is about “using death to live well.”
Rachel Menzies is a clinical psychology and PhD candidate. Along with Ross Menzies and Lisa Iverach, she recently edited the book Curing the Dread of Death.
