Phones, work and worry pull our attention in every direction. Mindfulness is the practice of paying attention to the present moment, and London Real guests approach it in very different ways: a monk’s daily discipline, a breath, a walk barefoot, an honest conversation about death. These interviews explore how to manage emotions, train focus and stay grounded in everyday life. Guests share their own practices and beliefs, not medical advice. Every full interview is free to watch.
From monk Gaur Gopal Das and Isha Foundation founder Sadhguru to spiritual teacher Mooji, former monk Dandapani, Onnit founder Aubrey Marcus, yoga teacher Dylan Werner and Die Wise author Stephen Jenkinson: practical ways to quiet a busy mind.
Gaur Gopal Das, a monk with the International Society for Krishna Consciousness and a former electrical engineer, offers his guide to mindful living in a busy world. Dandapani, a Hindu priest who spent ten years as a monk, argues that focus is a skill you can train like a muscle. Aubrey Marcus, founder of Onnit, explains how he works with his inner critic to stay confident. Robert Greene makes the case for stepping back from your emotions before you act on them.
Several guests start with the body. Dylan Werner, a former Marine aircraft firefighter and paramedic who became a yoga teacher, explains how he uses ancient yoga breathing to manage stress and wellbeing. Tony Riddle, a natural lifestyle coach and barefoot runner, argues that modern life has cut us off from how our bodies are designed to move and rest. Ben Pakulski talks about bringing mindfulness into bodybuilding, and Steve Maxwell shares his approach to breathing.
Sadhguru, the yogi and founder of the Isha Foundation, describes inner engineering, his framework for taking charge of your inner experience. Mooji talks about finding freedom by coming home to yourself. Stephen Jenkinson, who holds a master’s in theology from Harvard, argues that facing death and grief honestly is part of living well. Jason Silva explores awe and how to shift your state of mind. Philosopher Tim Freke talks about what he calls the mystery experience, and Anita Moorjani describes how her near-death experience changed the way she lives each day.
