Mirabai caught up with Stephany Tlalka, Mindful.org’s digital editor, this September. In this interview, Mirabai talks about bringing mindfulness and contemplative practices to a broader, secular audience and the common misconceptions people have about mindfulness (namely, that you have to empty your mind and be completely calm all of the time). Mindfulness practice is discussed towards the end of the video, as Stephany asks Mirabai how “observing your thoughts without judgment” actually works.
