Welcome to Meditation Inspiration! This podcast is here to inspire you with stories from meditators from around the world, to either start a meditation practice or to keep one going. I will be asking people what inspired them to begin meditating and what inspires them to keep going and we are going to have a good old chinwag about all things meditation, mindfulness and how these practices and ways of being can support us with our wellbeing and relationships with others.

5. Christoph Spiessens: Befriending anxiety and spiritual bypassing.

Introducing our fourth guest, mindfulness teacher, certified coach and founder of The Manchester Mindfulness Festival, Christoph Spiessens. It was a true joy to chat to Christoph about how he first made contact with mindfulness and how mindfulness meditation supports his wellbeing. We cover many topics such as:

How mindfulness has been the bedrock of Christoph learning how to to befriend and manage anxiety.

Christoph's first contact with Buddhist meditation and mindfulness concepts in Japan when working as cabin crew for Japan Airways.

A discussion about his experience and understanding of spiritual bypassing.

Trusting in the twists and turns of life and each of our own unique path.

What spirituality means to Christoph within his practice of mindfulness and how that can co-exist with his passion for the academic and scientific exploration of mindfulness meditation.
