Hi ,

If you haven't heard the Our Hen House Podcast yet, you're in for a treat.

This week I was interviewed on the Hen House Podcast by the energetic and extraordinary Jasmin Singer. Our conversation was just released on the Our Hen House website and podcast feeds, and I wanted to let you know about it right away. The podcast play of our conversation can be listened to on the Our Hen House podcast pages here. Our conversation begins about 15 minutes in, following some important developments in the field shared by Hen House co-host Mariann Sullivan.

In our conversation, we address:

How an incessantly distracted and wandering mind can affect your mood
How being more 'present' is helpful for happiness
How the focus on the breath in meditation practices is the agency for reducing wandering mind states
How mindful eating can help us overcome reactivity
Why I wrote my letter to Oprah
and a whole lot more...

Apparently our conversation is already having an impact. I just received this email from the Director of Operations at Our Hen House, which I also published on my blog along with the link to the Hen House Podcast here:

Hi Lani,

On a personal note, I want to say how AMAZING I found this interview to be. I’m so grateful to you for what you said about mindfulness practice.

After about fifteen years of occasional meditation, I finally devoted myself to a regular, daily practice about two years ago and it has changed my life in ways I never thought were actually possible. It’s definitely been the most valuable thing I’ve ever done for myself and for others, and to hear you talk about it was so inspiring and emboldening. Everything you talked about ties into things I’ve been thinking a lot about and trying to work on. I’m so excited to read your book. Thank you for everything you said.

It was a terrific interview and deserves to be heard. We know your interview will get listeners excited. Thank you again for your interview, your time, and for helping to change the world for animals. I know that you are going to hugely inspire our listeners.

Thanks for everything you do!

John Frusciante
Our Hen House Director of Operations
