  Mindfulness, Tai Chi, and the Science of Stress: What Actually Helps

  Sep 27, 202656 minS1

  How do we stay grounded, healthy, and even happy in a world that feels increasingly stressful and uncertain? In this episode of Mindful Mud, I talk with psychology professor, mindfulness practitioner, and Tai Chi teacher Philip T. Dunwoody about what stress actually does to the body and mind, and what truly helps. Phil makes the science behind the stress response easy to understand and connects it directly to everyday life. We talk about why mindfulness works, how Tai Chi and movement support the nervous system, and practical ways to create more balance when the world feels like too much. Because Phil works closely with college students, we also explore the pressures young adults face today and the tools that can help them build resilience, self awareness, and healthier ways of navigating this stage of life. From media hygiene and nature bathing to mindfulness, Tai Chi, and political stress, this conversation offers grounded tools for living well and more empowered.

  Big Feelings, New Beginnings: Mindfulness for Back to School

  Aug 8, 202655 minS1

  Back to school can bring excitement, fresh beginnings, and also anxiety, uncertainty, big emotions, and major changes in routine. In this lively and very practical episode of Mindful Mud, I am joined by four mindfulness instructors from across the U.S. and Canada who are also parents, teachers, and school providers. Together, we share what actually helps children and families move through the transition into a new school year, from preschool all the way through college. This is a recording of a live call-in radio show. We talk about big emotions, anxiety, and how to stay real with our own feelings as parents while still supporting our kids in theirs. How can we help children meet anxiety without being overwhelmed by it? How can we gently shift from fear toward curiosity and opportunity without dismissing what feels hard? Drawing on mindfulness, modern neuroscience, professional experience, and our own lives, this conversation is packed with simple, tested tools and resources for parents, students, and teachers. If you are looking for practical ways to make the start of the school year more grounded, connected, and manageable, this episode is for you.

  The Mindful Athlete: Finding Flow, Joy, and Presence

  Jul 26, 202655 minS1

Together we explore mindfulness in sports, from the science behind flow state to the importance of staying grounded under pressure. We talk about why acknowledging thoughts, emotions, and difficulties can be more powerful than trying to suppress them, and how self compassion and joy are not separate from success, but deeply connected to it. This conversation is for athletes of all levels, coaches, parents, and anyone interested in how mindfulness can support performance, resilience, and a deeper love of the game.

  Blessed by the Dalai Lama: The Story of a Rural Dharma Center

  Jun 11, 202654 minS1

  For 50 years, the Dharma Center has been a sanctuary for awareness, practice, and community in the heart of our rural town. In this rich and heartfelt conversation, I sit down with Timothy Clark and Ken Berman to explore the remarkable history of the Dharma Center. We follow the threads of many traditions that have touched and shaped this place, from Tibetan Lamas and great Zen teachers, to the connection with Redwoods Monastery and Thomas Merton. We hear how His Holiness the Dalai Lama blessed and named the Dharma Center, and we reflect on what it means to create a place where people can gather, sit in silence, remember what matters, and return to their own true nature. Together we explore questions at the heart of practice: What is Buddha nature? What is enlightenment? And how does a place devoted to awareness, compassion, and awakening survive and thrive for 50 years in a small rural community? This episode is a celebration of lineage, devotion, spiritual friendship, and the quiet power of creating places where practice can take root. It is an invitation to remember how much a sanctuary matters, especially in times when the world feels fragmented and fast. May this conversation inspire you to pause, listen deeply, and honor the places and people who keep the flame of awareness alive.
