Impermanence - the fact of life that everything is constantly changing and nothing stays the same for long - can be best observed and experienced within our own body. I took this picture in November 2017 on the last day of my 10 day silent Vipassana meditation retreat in Northern California. It was at this retreat that I truly observed the impermanence of life, not on an intellectual level but on an experiential level. At this retreat we practiced body scan meditation, being aware of each part...

"Imagine that your body and even your mind are rooted, grounded, planted here in this spot while the crazy world just keeps on spinning." - Adam Coelho This quote captures what this grounding meditation practice is all about. A lot of the time, especially theses days, it feels like we're caught in a strong storm. It feels like we're being blown in many different directions and it's hard to maintain our balance and stability. Mindfulness helps us to regain our stability by grounding in the tim...

Welcome to The Mindful FIRE Podcast, where we explore living mindfully on the path to financial independence and beyond. I'm your host Adam Coelho and I'm so glad you're here.

In life it's easy to get pulled off course despite the best intentions. I find that meditation and the cultivation of mindfulness offers a moment by moment experience of this fact of life. Despite our best intentions to focus our awareness on our breath, our attention wanders away into distraction, story, planning, etc. It can be minutes before we even notice we've been pulled away. But the beautiful thing about the practice is that once we notice our mind has wandered, we are already aware ag...
