Catching Z's: The Millennials Guide to Mindfulness

Jeff has a breadth of knowledge that makes chatting with him a marvel. He has degrees in neuroscience and behavioral psychology as well as a masters of Buddhist studies from Hong Kong University. I was so eager to chat with him and get his thoughts that I threw a bunch of different topics at him and he did not disappoint with any of his answers. We talked about:

• How he found there was a push and a pull to get him into meditation in the first place
• How studies in neuroscience and behavioral psychology influenced the want to go deeper into meditation
• How clinging to labels can be detrimental
• Suffering from an eating disorder and needing to relearn how to be in his body with love
• An impromptu guided meditation on loving the body that you’re in
• How our minds influence our body and how to bring a better balance to this
• How mindfulness gives us a conscious choice in life
• Why it’s important to establish boundaries around appropriate use of technology
• The power of training your attention
• How what you’re feeding your body feeds your mind
• Using your pain to teach you about how to heal
• Making me rethink how I define meditation and how narrow minded it was!
