The Hope Matrix

Creating Hope Through the Power of Mindfulness, featuring Shamash Alidina

This week’s special guest on the Hope Matrix podcast is Shamash Alidina. Shamash has been practicing mindfulness since 1998 and runs an international mindfulness teacher training organization. He is the international bestselling author of Mindfulness for Dummies, The Mindful Way through Stress and 7 other books. He is currently also passionate about offering daily virtual meditation classes to create a global mindfulness community for practitioners during the pandemic to bring hope for a brighter future. Mindfulness, or the act of being present, is an important hope skill that can increase happiness and decrease stress and anxiety. With the Five Keys to Hope as their guide, Kathryn and Shamash examine how the components of mindfulness - kindness, curiosity, acceptance, and stepping back to view the larger picture - can dramatically affect hope, happiness, and health. Shamash gives us a glimpse into his live mindfulness classes by leading Kathryn and listeners in a two-minute introductory session.
