McMindfulness, Money, and Meaning: Critiques of Today's Mindfulness Movement

The ground keeps moving, but our old habits try to pretend nothing has changed. In this mini episode, James Baraz talks honestly about what this moment is saying to us: we’re not separate, our choices echo, and we can learn to respond with more care than fear. 

James Baraz's website: https://www.awakeningjoy.info/

Starting with a simple practice—paying attention—we trace how mindfulness exposes the threads that bind our lives together, from family routines to global supply chains. 

When you feel those threads, John Muir’s idea that everything is hitched to everything else stops being a quote and becomes a compass.

From there we explore a handful of principles that travel well across crises and calm alike. 

Actions have consequences—call it karma or cause and effect—and that truth invites more deliberate choices at work, at home, and in public life. Integrity is not a moral badge; it’s the felt ease of living one story instead of juggling two. 

Stewardship shows up as everyday compassion, the kind that checks in on neighbors, protects shared resources, and invests in long horizons. And change, while hard, becomes probable when intention outweighs inertia.

 James talks about that tipping point and how a clear why turns into practical habits that actually stick.

These stories help us see our agency: the power to align values with action and to widen our circle of concern without burning out. Mindfulness ties it all together as a gateway to clarity — creating just enough pause to interrupt reactivity, meet complexity, and choose the next right step.

If this conversation resonates, share it with someone who’s ready to lead with care. Subscribe for more grounded, practical insights, and leave a review to tell us which principle you’re practicing this week.

Discipline That Feels Like Freedom

Former Buddhist monk and Mindfulness Exercises founder Sean Fargo explores what full acceptance really means in mindfulness and meditation—meeting fear, anxiety, judgment, and resistance with embodied awareness and self-compassion.

https://mindfulnessexercises.com/podcast/

Drawing on years of teaching across prisons, hospitals, classrooms, and companies, Sean translates Buddhist psychology, trauma-sensitive mindfulness, and practical nervous system regulation into simple moves you can use today—without turning practice into performance.

Expect a grounded look at acceptance vs. resignation, how to work inside your window of tolerance, and ways to steady attention with noting and breath awareness. You’ll hear how body-based mindfulness (skin, flesh, blood, air, bone) restores safety, how to soften striving and “fixing,” and how fierce compassion supports wise action. Ideal for mindfulness teachers, therapists, coaches, and dedicated practitioners who want real tools for emotional regulation, resilience, and teaching with integrity.

✨ In This Episode, You’ll Learn

 • What “acceptance” means (and what it doesn’t) in mindfulness practice
 • How acceptance creates space before reaction or change
 • Why gentle awareness and fierce compassion go hand in hand
 • A guided meditation on sensing the layers of the body — skin, flesh, blood, air, bone
 • How to bring mindfulness to worry, fear, and feelings of unsafety
 • Practical tools like noting practice and embodied grounding
 • Insights from Sean’s live Q&A on anxiety, safety, and the breath
 • How acceptance connects with teachings from Byron Katie and Nonviolent Communication

Chapters

00:00 – Opening reflections on the word “acceptance”

02:00 – Why we resist acceptance and what it really means

04:00 – The practice of full acceptance

From Imposter to Impact: 8 Keys to Teaching Mindfulness

When I first started teaching mindfulness, I thought I had to sound wise, calm, and enlightened — like a “real” teacher.

But one unexpected moment — in a tiny community room in Berkeley — changed everything I thought I knew about guiding others in mindfulness.

In this episode, I share the hidden truth I discovered after years living as a Buddhist monk in Thailand and training more than 30,000 mindfulness teachers around the world:that teaching mindfulness is actually much simpler than most of us realize.

You’ll hear:

🪶 The surprising moment that transformed the way I teach mindfulness

🪶 A profound lesson from my Thai Forest teacher that changed how I see presence

🪶 The biggest mistake new teachers make — and how to avoid it

🪶 Why your humanity and imperfection are your greatest teaching tools

If you’ve ever wondered, “Who am I to teach mindfulness?” — this episode is for you.By the end, you’ll see that mindfulness teaching isn’t about perfection… it’s about presence.
