Epsiode 5: Jack Kornfield

 

In this episode of “Mind, Body, Spirit, Cancer,” Pat Croce welcomes Jack Cornfield, a best-selling author and psychologist who is a master in the therapeutic arts of mindfulness and meditation. Cornfield defines what it means to be in the present with kindness and emphasizes how practicing a loving awareness can bring about positive changes in your life and the lives of others. He reminds us that meditation is a way to turn suffering into a peaceful heart, a method in which one can learn to take pain and hold it in a different way, noting, “Who you are is not defined by time; who you are is awareness itself.”
