Episode #3: Why Meditate?

This is the third (of twelve) episodes of The Practically Mindful Moment podcast. PMM’s are brief bits of featured information on concepts and tactics from Dr. Greg Sazima’s new book, Practical Mindfulness: A Physician’s No-Nonsense Guide to Meditation for Beginners (Mango Media, release date 1/19/2021).

Each PMM clocks in at a user-friendly ten minutes or so; just a brief tuning in, learning opportunity, and brief guided exercise in mindfulness. And a quick, shameless plug for the book.

This podcast covers the benefits of engaging the practice of meditation, on and off the cushion. The guided practice involves Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR), a useful routine to reduce physical tension.
