SHAMASH ALIDINA audio excerpt: "Mindfulness was life-changing when I learned it. I was very skeptical, a typical scientist. I thought it was mumbo-jumbo. I was quite reluctant to try it. But if you had to define it in one word, I would say 'awareness.' It's about training your awareness in a particular way."
