Examining Embodied Peace Through Christian Mindfulness with Regina Trammel

How can we avoid burnout, live in peace, and grow in greater awareness of God’s presence with us? 

In a world that vies for our attention with relentless distractions, practicing Christian mindfulness may offer a way of resistance and renewal. 

In this episode, host Jay Y. Kim welcomes Dr. Regina Trammel, a licensed therapist, respected academic, and the author of The Counselor's Guide to Christian Mindfulness. As a second-generation Chinese-American, Dr. Trammel draws from familial and cultural practices, her clinical experience, and her Christian faith to present an enriching understanding of Christian mindfulness.

Together, Kim and Dr. Trammel explore the profound connection between trust, peace, and presence, as well as the essential way in which the body, soul, and mind are integratively united and in need of God’s rejuvenative care. 

Tune in to learn transformative practices that have the power to form us into people characterized by peace.
