Our Mindful Nature {Formerly The Mindful Minute}
Health & Fitness:Mental Health
Today, we are beginning a two part series with the co-authors of a powerful new book that I am so excited to share with you guys today.
In this episode of The Mindful Minute, I talk with Dr. Michael Amster about the power of awe and an incredible micro mindfulness practice that you can do in 30 seconds.
I'm not kidding. 30 seconds.
And speaking from my own experience with this practice, it will absolutely invigorate your meditation practice and benefit your days.
Michael is a San Francisco Bay Area-based physician and faculty member at Touro School of Medicine. As a pain management specialist, Michael is keenly aware of the integration of mind, body, and spirit and the effects of physical and psychospiritual pain on health and well-being.
Michael is a student of meditation for over 30 years, as well as a certified yoga teacher and meditation teacher trained at Spirit Rock Meditation Center.
