Manage episode 300909367 series 2945686
This week, Shamash and Calvin explore the eighth chapter of the Hero's Journey into mindfulness and acceptance: the Ordeal. Along with acceptance, what can commitment allow us to achieve, and how can we spot when commitment turns to stubbornness?
- Social entrepreneur Kush Kanodia opens the episode with a story of commitment that led to a life-changing opportunity
- Therapist Mari Williams shares her approach to helping people deal with those moments in life where we need the reassurance that we're going to be OK
- Dr Mehwish Sharif discusses strength in vulnerability, reducing the clutter in clients' minds, and encouraging flexibility
- ACT originator Dr Steven Hayes plays out a conversation about self-inflicted pain, and is candid about the difficulties he's faced with his own physical pain and the unhealthy thoughts that arose as a result.
Next week, we seize our reward and begin the journey back home.
Mindful Conversations is hosted by mindfulness teacher Shamash Alidina and mindful storyteller Calvin Niles.
