Please join me as I welcome special guest Laurence "Lonnie" Wiig of Oregon, USA, to a discussion of the benefits and/or challenges of Mindfulness Meditation for people of all cultures and walks of life. Hopefully joining us also, will be special guest Brant Rogers of YogaHillsboro who can give us even more information about Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction or MBSR. Lonnie is a teacher, writer, translator and public speaker who enjoys traveling and who has visited many countries. He grew up in Hawai'i and brings the perspective of speaking Japanese and having lived in Japan for eleven years as an adult. Lonnie is currently a student of Mindfulness Meditation and has unique perspectives to share with us in relation to his observations of life, in particular, in Japan, Hawai'i and the mainland United States.
