03. Mindfulness & Aroha: The Art of Presence and Breath with Ana Maia

My first guest episode is with the wonderful Ana Maia, a good friend and a mindfulness meditation teacher who is passionate about bringing awareness based tools and resources as means to embrace change.

In this episode we discuss:

  • Mindfulness: what it means to be mindful, how this is an active rather than passive state, and how to come back to your center.

  • Ana’s powerful question of ‘What If?’ and how you can use that to break patterns.

  • Letting go of ‘Should’ and the freedom that comes from acceptance.

  • The Buddhist concept of Mara and how to use it to move through difficult challenges.

  • The Māori word ‘Aroha’: presence and breath is love.
