In this episode of the Mindful Movement Podcast, Les Raymond talks with George Thompson, a filmmaker, movement teacher, and mindfulness advocate, about the intersection of movement, consciousness, and nature. They discuss how reconnecting with the body and the natural world can help cultivate inner clarity, resilience, and peace.

George shares insights from his documentary The Subtle Art of Losing Yourself, where he immerses himself in the harsh winter wilderness of Scotland to observe the intelligence of nature and reflect on human potential. They discuss how mindful movement, meditation, and stepping away from modern distractions can lead to a more balanced life.

• The inspiration behind George’s documentary and how it reshaped his perspective on life.
• How Tai Chi, Qigong, and meditation cultivate inner clarity and resilience.
• The role of consciousness in shaping our experience of reality.
• The impact of modern distractions on our ability to connect with the present moment.
• Simple movement and mindfulness practices to integrate into daily life.
• The importance of stepping back and retreating to restore balance.

"What you resist, persists." Practice mindfulness to acknowledge respectfully what is happening, what you are experiencing, and allow it to be what it is. Relax into that which you resist to find freedom.
