Trauma, the Breath, and the Body (Mindful Living, Part III)

Trauma can keep us from living mindfully. This episode—part 3 in a mini-series on mindful living—has two parts: we start with an exploration of what trauma is and how it gets stored in our bodies. Then we turn to practices, including meditation and others practices that involve our bodies, with the goal of developing fully embodied lives that are resilient in the face of trauma and pain. The ultimate invitation is to befriend our bodies, so that we can vessels of hope, healing, and compassion in the world.
