Today Commander Divine talks to Tim Desmond about mindfulness, meditation and self-compassion. Tim is a psychotherapist, author, teacher and long time student of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh.  His most recent book, “How to Stay Human in a F*cked-Up World: Mindfulness Practices for Real Life,” shows us that by relating to life’s ever present pain with compassion, wisdom and joy we have a chance to experience happiness. Tim dives into ways to bridge the ancient tradition of mindfulness and the challenges of modern life.

Hear how:

• We need to remember to pay attention to the things that are important enough to take up your life
• People need to treat every moment like something that matters – don’t allow yourself to spend your time on unimportant things.
• We may often think of providing compassion for others, but we often won’t give any to ourselves.

Listen in for an in-depth and very practical view of how mindfulness and meditation can work for you.
