Inviting Devotion Into Mindfulness Practice, with Oren Jay Sofer and Sean Fargo

Devotion is not a quality that’s often talked about in secular mindfulness. But perhaps it should be.

Devotion can be an inspiring means of getting out of our heads, out of our own way, and connecting to our own hearts and communities. It need not be reserved for the divine. For mindfulness teachers, devotion can also help reinforce a sense of humility and reverence that makes our teaching both more impactful and fulfilling.

In this episode, Sean Fargo speaks with Oren Jay Sofer about his new book, “Your Heart Was Made for This: Contemplative Practices for Meeting a World in Crisis with Courage, Integrity and Love.” They discuss the quality of devotion and why we all could benefit from inviting devotion into our mindfulness practice.
