THE MINDFULNESS EXPERIENCE
Every two weeks, we delve into the world of Mindfulness Experience (MEx) concepts and explore their application in our daily lives. We comprehensively examine mindful experiences and their impact on neurology, physiology, biology, psychology, philosophy, and mythology. Our exploration of mindfulness considers how it affects the body, mind, spirit, food, sleep, environment, and relationships in a holistic bid to create a more balanced and fulfilling life. The areas we will strongly focus on include trauma, addiction, entheogens, empathogenic, and psychedelics. We recognize the powerful impact of these substances on individuals and society as a whole. By implementing mindfulness, we can better approach these experiences, heal from trauma, and battle addiction. Entering into empathic and psychedelic states through substances such as psilocybin can help to facilitate a transformational experience, leading to greater self-awareness and a more profound understanding of ourselves and the world around us. This show is produced and hosted by Keith W Fiveson. https://workmindfulness.com/about/about-me-2/

As a self-proclaimed "mushroom nerd" with over three decades of personal and professional experience with these fungal friends, Jme Bonfiglio knows that mushrooms have a lot to offer. She founded WholeSun Wellness in 2017 to offer clinically-potent mushroom extracts with verifiable therapeutic levels of naturally-occurring medicinal compounds to consumers, retailers, and clinicians. As a formulator, her custom blends can be found in conventional and holistic medical clinics across the country.
Now, she's turning her attention to psilocybin mushrooms as she builds the largest vertically-integrated medicinal mushroom operation in North America.

What happens when you introduce a fundamental mindfulness concept that few people understand?
In this episode, Dr. Joey Weber, a leading expert in the field of mindfulness and equanimity, discusses the foundations of mindfulness and tools that help people cultivate greater inner peace and emotional resilience.
In his latest book, "Why Mindfulness is Not Enough: Unlocking Compassion with Equanimity,” he describes how mindfulness alone is not enough to unlock our full potential- He explains how we can cultivate greater equanimity to overcome the judgments and challenges that often come up when dealing with others,
