Being Awareness is a bi-weekly exploration of mindfulness, meditation, and self-awareness. Each episode features self-inquiry and guided meditation, as well as stories of applying mindfulness to everyday life. I'm your host, Lin Cassie Zhen.

I see this podcast as part of my personal learning journey, so I would really appreciate any feedback you may have for me. Please feel free to send your notes to being.awareness.podcast[at]gmail.com
