Mindfulness-based approaches help improve our state of awareness, and constitute a pillar on self-care while improving communication with others. 
Moving meditation is one of those approaches.

"Where intention goes, awareness goes. Where awareness goes, Qi follows”

In the 14th episode, I explore the state of awareness. My guest is experienced in this topic. With his range of practices, Karunavira has been teaching mindfulness-based approaches, at Bangor University, as also various mindfulness-Based programs, and counseling, for more than 30 years now.

In this conversation we explore what it means to be aware, and how to practice that quality of state by looking at our current practices, and use it for many things of life: communicating, parenting, leading, listening, or moving.

Kv (as know to his students) shares how his daily practices help him connect with the self, others, and nature, and cultivate the principles of Chi/Qi (energy) that lead to experience a more integrated and purposeful life.

In a month where I celebrate freedom, I question what practices help me experience and honor this purposed life.

Movement is My Constant Podcast

Ep.14 - Karunavira - Awareness is Revolutionary

My guest on this episode is Vix Anderton.
Framing her work as a perfectionist coach and identifying herself as a recovering perfectionism, Vix brings lightness to a heavy topic, which I believe many of us can identify with: Perfectionism.

"I'd like to include perfectionism as part of the human experience". Using the body as an awareness tool that provides the map to the present moment, Vix is inspired to include perfectionism as part of who we are, nurturing the relationship with it, instead of trying getting rid of it.

In this episode we
🤓 Debunk perfectionism
🙌 Learn to frame the why, the how, and the what
👏 Understand that actions are driven by our core needs

Vix has spent years developing her work as a coach and in her own life she realised that perfectionism is a coping mechanism that leads to unhelpful strategies in life, which tend to lead to repetitive behaviours that are not helpful for our happiness and wellbeing.

Make sure to follow Vix and get a copy of her latest book Enough.
