Many people believe that mindfulness meditation is about stopping thoughts from popping into our heads, which is, needless to say, impossible. As they can't prevent themselves from having thoughts, that belief makes them stop trying mindfulness meditation. Mindfulness meditation is not about preventing our minds from having thoughts but being aware of them. And being aware of those thoughts is different from knowing we have them; the difference might seem subtle but is massive. Today, my guest is the mindfulness teacher, Brother Dave Kenneally, former Sargeant in the US Marine Corps and former Buddhist Monk in the Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh tradition. He travels the world spreading his knowledge, teaching business leaders, yoga instructors, cancer patients and their families, teens, and military veterans, among many others. He is a Certified Teacher of the Search Inside Yourself Program and an Ordained member of the Order of Interbeing.  We had a joyful conversation about his mentors and their teachings along his journey and how they impacted him, the meaning of mindfulness, and the gifts the Zen tradition has to offer. He explained the concept of "understanding is love," and he also talked about why he decided to become a monk. Tune in to Episode 93 of Technology for Mindfulness and listen to Dave's fascinating story about love, reaching mindfulness, and awareness.Some Questions I Ask: What's your story and how did you get started with mindfulness? (5:23)Can you talk about where gentleness and self-compassion fit your own development and in your own teaching? (12:34)You've been talking primarily about attitudes towards yourself, your own feelings, your own thoughts, and cultivating it from that direction. If I'd like to be more compassionate, how do I just go ahead? (18:08)Is there anything you can share about how you've been able to bring your own mindfulness practices to bear on this extremely challenging time? (22:23)In This Episode, You Will Learn:Dave's definition of mindfulness (6:03)Yoga as a raw concentration practice (10:48)Understanding is love (13:32)One of the Zen practice's gifts (19:00)The consequences of being at war with our thoughts (31:50)Resources:Dave Kenneally websiteConnect with Dave:LinkedInFacebookInstagramYouTubeConnect with Robert Plotkin:Technology For Mindfulness WebsiteBlueshift IP WebsiteLinkedIn Hosted on Acast.

94. Dave Kenneally: The Common Misconception About Mindfulness Meditation

Welcome to the Veteran's PATH podcast. Veterans PATH is a nonprofit introducing veterans to the life changing and life saving practices of meditation and mindfulness. I'm your host, Jon Macaskill - a Navy SEAL Commander turned mindfulness teacher. Check out https://www.veteranspath.org or at any of the social media links below to find out more! Today, my guest is former Marine Sergeant Dave Kenneally. Dave, as mentioned is a former Sergeant of Marines, but he’s also a former Buddhist Monk in the tradition of the Vietnamese Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. He spent six years living in Monasteries and Practice centers before moving to San Diego where he teaches Mindfulness Meditation every week at Sangha Ocean Beach.  He’s also a Massage Therapist and Yoga Therapist and has taught mindfulness to diverse groups from teens to people at end of life. Raised in the Bronx in New York City to an Irish dad and Ecuadorian mom, Dave feels very grateful that he gets to spread the practices of mindfulness all over the world through his teaching. -  We’re going to learn a lot more about Dave, his time in the Marine Corps, his becoming a Buddhist monk and his time in the monasteries and practice centers, what brought him to San Diego, and then all about what he’s doing now as a mindfulness teacher, massage therapist, and yoga therapist... that’s all here in today’s episode of the Veteran’s PATH podcast.
