Ep 1. "What is Mindfulness Meditation?" - Presented by Mental Health Download Podcast

Mental Health Download Podcast is excited to present the first episode of an ongoing series of Mindfulness Meditation sessions with Jacob Beaumont, of Mental Health Association Oklahoma. Episode one is titled "What is Mindfulness?" Meditation is another word that is both easy and impossible to define because it can mean so many things to so many people. The long and the short of it is that meditation is the creation of space and time to intentionally practice something. So when we pair mindfulness with meditation, we see that mindfulness meditation is simply practicing awareness. It's a classic example of, you know, being a thing that's easy to learn and almost impossible to master. And that's the beauty of it, too. Read the transcript and listen to all of the sessions at mhaok.org/meditation.

Om Podcasten

Mental Health Association Oklahoma created The Mental Health Download podcast to share stories each week about mental illness, homelessness, incarceration and suicide, and how each can impact our lives in a profound way. Mental health affects everyone, yet the social stigma attached to mental health issues keeps so many of our family members, friends, colleagues and neighbors silent. Why are we so afraid to talk about these issues? Each week, our host Adi McCasland invites guests to share how mental illness, suicide, homelessness and incarceration have affected their work or lives.
