What is Boabom? And what does it have to do with mindfulness?
We’ve talked about mindfulness a lot in recent episodes. We’ve talked about research involving mindfulness, learned how mindfulness is being used in healthcare settings, and heard from successful people who find that mindfulness practice plays an important role in their lives.
But it’s useful and interesting to remember that meditation and mindfulness have been studied and practiced for thousands of years. Today, all around the world, people are still learning and exploring mindfulness practices that have roots in these ancient traditions.
Yemado is the foremost teacher in North America of Boabom, a system of meditation, relaxation, and self defense. He has brought this practice to thousands of students around the world through more than two decades of teaching.
Yemado is the Director of the Boston School of Boabom, the only school dedicated to Boabom in North America. He is the co-translator and editor of a number of books about Boabom, and is the creator of Boabom Journey, a new 5 star app that allows anyone to learn Boabom on their own schedule.
In this episode, we talk about developing healthy habits, dealing with stress, and building confidence. Yemado describes how students of Boabom develop these abilities by starting with small challenges and working their way up to greater ones.
