Summary
Joseph Emet, author of his latest book "Buddha's Book of Meditation – Mindfulness Practices for a Quieter Mind, Self-Awareness, and Healthy Living. We've talked about meditation a lot in Grimerica and here is great opportunity to get deeper into mindfulness.
Joseph has written about sleeping better and stress reduction through meditation and he is the founder of Mindfulness Meditation Centre in Montreal. He also has a doctorate in music and has trained under Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh.
This is a journey from "brainfullness" to mindfulness, from self-control to self-regulation, and from indifference to compassion. Joseph has been helping cancer patients and many others with a variety of ailments through techniques like focusing on your breathing, mantras, and by non-judgmental observance of your monkey mind. Don't worry everyone has one.
"We can all take a few conscious breaths and let go of impatience, hurry, or stress as we go through our day. Living mindfully makes it possible to be in the present."
-from the foreword by Thich Nhat Hanh
We chat about the stages of awareness through meditation practice, the benefits from depression, anxiety, and insomnia among others.

| 0:00.0 | Here's a little exercise called Mindfulness of Breathing or breath meditation. You can try it right now. |
| 0:14.5 | Begin with finding a posture that you're comfortable with. |
| 0:17.5 | You could be sitting on a chair, lying down, |
| 0:21.0 | or cross-legged on the floor. |
| 0:23.0 | Any posture where your spine is straight is correct. |
| 0:27.0 | Then you can softly gaze downwards or close your eyes. |
| 0:34.3 | Now become aware of the sensations of your own natural breathing. |
| 0:40.5 | You can feel your breath around your nose in your chest or down in your belly or lower abdomen. |
| 0:49.0 | Feel the whole of the in breath and the whole of the out-breath as best you can. |
| 0:55.0 | Moment to moment. |
| 0:58.0 | Before long, you'll find your mind wandering off into other thoughts, worries or concerns. That's okay. That's |
| 1:08.1 | actually part of mindfulness practice. As soon as you notice that your mind has wandered off, just |
| 1:16.0 | bring your attention back to your breathing as best you can. Yeah, and singing makes you high. I like to think that birds get high not only by slapping their rings but also by singing. |

| 2:15.4 | Seems like an epidemic almost. You can see how quick it would happen. |
