#19. On Mindfulness with Ashima Goyal | Mindfulness vs. Awareness Series | Ep. 2

Ashima Goyal is a writer, an editor, a socio-emotional learning educator, an artist, a community-builder (and visionary behind Romania's first Karma Kitchen), a cook (and food blogger!), and a spirited volunteer. Her service has spanned from online space-holding, to hands-on direct disaster aid in grassroots villages after serious floods in Uttarakhand, to transformative 'hands, head, heart' retreats. Her work has focused on transforming her environment by first transforming herself through small acts of service. Her mantra is "bloom where you are planted." Her education includes Electrical Engineering from IITB and Masters in Social Policy & Development from London School of Economics. She taught mindfulness to elementary school kids in Mongolia and Romania, and currently develops learning products that bring holistic education to school students. Through this interaction we learnt Ashima's definition of mindfulness and her approach to cultivating mindfulness. We understand the subject from the lens of children and how we can learn from children to be present, and at the same time support them in retaining their attention and awareness as they grow into adults. Ashima touched our hearts with her shining eyes, ear to ear smile, and simple explanations.

Ashima has also shared with us some wonderful resources for further reading and exploration: Pebble Meditation: Book: A Handful of Quiet https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13590614-a-handful-of-quiet Wait: by Antoinette Portis https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22718683-wait Mindful Games by Susan Kaiser Greenland https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/29236414-mindful-games
