This episode is the first part of a two-part series exploring fresh takes on two ancient concepts: mindfulness and meditation. Rami talks with Loch Kelly about our American society's newfound fascination with mindfulness.

Loch Kelly describes a new approach to mindfulness that he has developed which combines wisdom found in many different traditions and is immediately accessible to anyone. Rather than simply pacifying one's restlessness, his techniques provide motivation to engage in compassionate action in the world.
