Teaching Mindfulness Is Simpler Than You Think - No Expertise Needed

Anyone can guide others in mindfulness, no matter their age or experience. Even a 5-year-old can teach mindfulness better than you think.

In this episode, Sean Fargo, founder of Mindfulness Exercises, makes a bold statement about how even a kindergartener can teach mindfulness. Through a touching story about his daughter, Sean explains why teaching mindfulness is simpler than most people realize.

Sean shares how his 5-year-old daughter helps him practice mindfulness by asking, "How are you feeling? Can you bring gentle awareness to this moment?"
