The Importance of Mindfulness in Therapy

There's so much of what you're saying that we could talk about in the present moment in the news. Yet I also want to keep following your journey as a person because you of course have become a very well regarded Buddhist teacher and meditation teacher. You studied clinical psychology which is the Western tradition of understanding how we think and why we think but then went on to be a therapist. What drew you towards connecting some of these Western ideas and these Eastern ideas? Well the draw to both of them is because there's some deep knowing that we have to bring into awareness what we're not aware of and they both serve that.
