Your Brain on Knitting - Cast On with Brenda Dayne
So, the hot water cozy download is not going as smoothly as expected. While you are waiting for the master knitter to try to figure out problems in HTML code (ie – big mess), you can listen to Brenda Dayne interview me on the current episode of CAST ON (http://www.cast-on.com/)
As I have told friends and family – if you are still wondering what it is that I do, listen to this. But it’s not just about me (just sayin’). This episode wraps up Brenda’s brilliantly themed series on ALCHEMY and we discuss what Mindful Knitting is, who I am, and why being present in the current moment is so much fun and so damn hard!! This show talks about the brain, creativity, sympathetic and parasympathetic brain reactions and magically makes it relevant to knitting. Bless Brenda’s amazing magic.
Have a listen, Let me know what you think.
Love and Kisses -Tara

I recently have stumbled upon mindfulness. I saw a two sentence blurb in a trashy magazine, as part of my stress relief program I was directed to some authors AND then listening to my favourite podcast I found you. I have just been trying to figure out how to incorporate this meditation into my life. Mindful knitting looks like it may just fit perfectly.
Thankyou.

I heard your interview on Cast On and really found it interesting. I’ve been trying to be more “in the moment” when I knit, which is difficult as I have three children running around me always. But I’ve found that knitting, in and of itself, is like a meditation, which helps me calm down from the general chaos of my life. Anyhow, way to be interviewed on Cast On, and thanks for the great blog.
