Episode 10: Dispelling myths about mindfulness (Adam Corke)

Episode 10: Dispelling myths about mindfulness (Adam Corke)

After discovering meditation in his early 20s and having sustained significant sports injuries, Adam joined the New Zealand Police.  He wanted to be part of a helping profession and help alleviate suffering in our communities.  Adam spent most of his career as a detective and served for over 17 years.  He also became an accomplished paraglider pilot and, later, a husband and a father of two.  By exposing himself to these challenging situations, Adam learned more about himself and how to respond to the inevitable personal challenges he experienced throughout his career.

Adam is a trained mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) teacher.  He intends to make mindfulness accessible to the mainstream, applying it to real-life experiences and, ultimately, helping people to live healthy and fulfilling lives.  Adam also would like to dispel myths that mindfulness involves sitting in uncomfortable positions, burning incense, and doesn’t relate to most people.  His message is that everybody experiences stress, but there are ways we can ease our experiences of it.  Please join us as Adam talks about being introduced to mindfulness and how he has applied it in a practical and relevant way.
