How can we practice more presence in our lives and stay connected with our truest selves? My guest this week is Ora Nadrich, a mindfulness instructor who addresses these questions in her recent book, Live True: A Mindfulness Guide to Authenticity. We discussed her book and her approach to mindful living, touching on topics that included:

• The definition and practice of mindfulness
• Slowing down to savor an experience, like a cup of coffee or a piece of chocolate
• The dangers of stripping away the deeper elements of mindfulness
• The connection between mindfulness and authenticity
• Our “innermost self” as the core truth of who we are
• Our habitual and insatiable desire for “more”
• Remembering our spiritual selves that we can come home to
• Awakening to our existence and valuing every moment
• The effects of constant technology use on our minds, bodies, and spirits
• The practice of “life gazing,” and simply observing what we see in our lives
• Red lights as cues to be in our lives
• Ways to raise our consciousness through our daily actions
• Setting our intention first thing in the morning
