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/

Welcome to the Mindfulness Experience podcast! I’m Keith Fiveson, your host.
On this show, I enjoyed speaking with Matthias Schmitt, an avid solar eclipse chaser and astronomy educator. Matthias has been involved in astronomy outreach for over ten years, teaching kids and adults about the wonders of space!
Matthias had a thriving career in financial services, then was the Executive Producer of the Space Racers TV show. But, after a solar eclipse, he decided to chase the stars and complete his graduate certificate in astronomy from Swinburne University.
He is working on his Master of Science in Astronomy, works for the National Park Service, and runs a thriving Stargazing company near Zion, Utah.
On this show, Matthias offers his insightful perspective on how the stars connect us to the mysteries of the Cosmos, galaxies millions of light years away, and our celestial neighborhood. But more importantly, how they connect us nearby, to each other, by opening up opportunities to transform our perceptions about all human beings. Thank you for listening!
