“When we get too caught up in the busyness of the world, we lose connection with one another – and ourselves.”
– Jack Kornfield

I spend a lot of my time around technology.  I've never considered myself a techno-guy but I am a consistent user.  As a user, technology can also be a distraction.  This week, we learn about leveraging it!

My guest on this episode is Robert Plotkin.  Robert has not only a tech background but also a martial arts background, which make him uniquely qualified to put the two concepts together to show how we can use technology to actually increase our mindfulness practices.

I had so much fun talking with Robert and learned a whole lot in the process.  Take some time to listen to this episode so you can learn to integrate technology into your mindfulness practices rather than having it distract you.

ENJOY!
