    Great podcast
    This is my go-to podcast for mindfulness practice each day. I love the lessons and teaching that go along with each practice. Thomas is a master at what he does. I’ve learned so much from him.

    Expanding my tools
    I have really enjoyed this podcast and everything Thomas has been sharing. I love adding tools to my toolbelt of how I practice spirituality and mindfulness. I love that he is sharing information and knowledge and also allowing us to practice meditation/mindfulness with him in each episode. The mix of shared information and meditation is wonderful and such a great way to introduce many of us to meditation.

    Engaging and motivating
    I’ve found it hard to stick to a daily meditation practice, but the personal narrative at the beginning of these episodes really motivates me to keep coming back and gives deeper meaning/direction to daily practice. Don’t ever stop, Thomas!

    Just getting started
    I’m new to mindfulness practice, and these guided meditations have been so helpful in getting started. I find it difficult to sit for any length of time, but the stories and ideas shared help me to remain still for a short time and access my inner self. Thank you for this wonderful podcast.

    I look for this podcast every week.
    I first found this podcast during the pandemic. That year I chose the word “Still” as my focu word for the year. That was when I first found this podcast. Since then I look forward to this podcast each week. I recently purchased the kindle version of the book, “At-One-Ment” I love it! As a lifelong practicing member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I found the book to be very insightful in how to deepen my relationship with my Savior Jesus Christ. Thank you.

    You will LOVE meditation after listening
    I went from being a person who often thought “I should meditate” to “I can’t wait to meditate!” Thomas is so good at helping listeners accept themselves exactly as they are. He exudes unconditional love. This is truly my favorite podcast.

    This is life changing!
    I don’t know how to put into words the fullness in my heart? I have never written a review for a podcast before, but desire to express gratitude for this podcast and the work Thomas McConkie does. It was during a dark time in my life - perhaps for lack of a better term - a midlife crisis - where I felt lost, afraid overwhelmed and completely disillusioned when I found the course “Transformations of Faith” by Thomas McConkie. I can’t remember how I came across it but felt drawn to the content and started doing the online course and the meditations within it. It was beautiful but very difficult to wrap my head around a new way of thinking and experiencing life and yet there was also hope for a new way of being in my body and in my relationships. Starting the practice of meditation was uncomfortable in every way - but I kept coming back for more because somehow it also felt restoring. In spite of my very limited ability and the often underlying emotions that would come to the surface it was remarkable the peace I could feel and the responses that peace would facilitate amid difficult circumstances. The expanding that awakens your awareness to the immensity of love, wisdom, and grace available to each of us can only be described as beyond understanding. There simply are not adequate words to describe how transformative this practice can be. Again, I express deep gratitude for the hope and peace it has brought into my life and encourage others searching to begin on this journey. Thank you, Thank you Thomas McConkie for the gift of wisdom your life experiences and this practice have brought and your willingness to share that with others.

    Just a few minutes
    I needed a break today. Not from physical work but mental stress. I found this podcast a while back and I love taking a few minutes to meditate and rest my mind. Thank you Mr McConkie.
  • Yhmac
    I’m new and loving it
    I knew I needed something to calm by busy mind but wasn’t exactly sure what that was. I heard about Thomas podcasts as well as some others. This one is hands down my favorite. I feel so calm and at peace after listening. Ready to tackle a new day with compassion and grace for myself and whatever circumstance fill my day.
  • MTseeker
    Life Changing!
    I started listening to mindfulness plus during the pandemic and it was life changing to me. It was my introduction to meditation and a new way of being. I’m so thrilled that Thomas is back with new episodes with the added perspectives from his continuing education.
  • GN-2020
    My favorite East plus West teacher
    I love this podcast’s balance of a teaching and a guided meditation, its synthesis of many spiritual and scientific traditions, its integration of body, mind, and spirit— such a nourishing way to begin, end, or reset a day. I am thrilled that Thomas is working on a Harvard Divinity graduate degree to research his confluence of traditions so he can continue to discover and share his insights with us, and he will be invited into new circles for sharing them.

    Just what I was looking for

    Timeless Teachings
    Found this podcast less than a year ago. I don’t miss a morning of mindfulness now. I notice it’s lengthening that little space of time between what happens and my reaction. I spend more time aware. Awake. And at peace.

    Transformative
    I can’t pinpoint exactly what meditation does or how McConkie speaks to my soul, but this content and the meditative practices guided by Thomas McConkie have moved me in ways I didn’t know were available. Who knew there was such depth and power in some added stillness to our lives. If you’re not sure where to start with meditative practices, this is the best place I can think to begin.

    Bonus Episode: Yoga Nidra with Kelly Boys
    I love listening to Mindfulness + and Thomas is an absolutely brilliant teacher. I was especially delighted to come across the episode about Yoga Nidra with Kelly Boys. As a practitioner with Lower Lights Wisdom and a teacher of iRest Yoga Nidra it truly made my heart happy. I enjoyed hearing Kelly’s story of moving between knowing self through relationship with God to knowing self though the experience of welcoming everything that arises internally. Probably because I have taken this same path and found so much beauty in it. I loved seeing the meeting points and overlap between the Mindfulness + practice and Yoga Nidra practice. My favorite quote from the episode is “Embodiment is a human right”.

    Ancient Wisdom for the Modern World
    I have been listening to Thomas’ podcast for over a year now. Initially, I just listened before bed and found that it was a good way to fall asleep at night. It helped to quite my mind and find calm in troublesome times. As I begin to listen with more intent, I began to learn of the transformative nature of the ancient practice. I love how Thomas shares a story or pearl of wisdom at the beginning of each lesson and then puts it into practice with a short meditation session. His delivery comes across as sincere, heartfelt, and real, unlike other apps or podcasts that have listened to before, which have a slightly more manufactured feel to them. I now find myself listening to the episodes in the morning to ground myself before a busy day of work. I also love sharing the stories & teachings with our children when we hold family meditation sessions.

    Relatable
    This podcast is helping me learn how to be still and learn how to ponder and destress. It is so helpful to learn from Thomas McConkie- I’ve really appreciated and learned from his perspectives.

    Unearthing Peace by Way of the War Within
    Stumbling blocks to stepping stones. Taking clay suffering and compassionate refashioning into a living, evolving sculpture. This podcast does this. All you need is your humanness and a familiarity with suffering. Thank you so much for the conversations, the practicing (with bell/gong even!!), and the realness. Walking thru life with influences like this podcast, its host and guests, is a type of waking up to surroundings of safe and nourishing friendship and a rise of hope within.

    Hooray for season 5
    I have listened to each episode of every season more than once. With such a long gap between season 4 and 5, I thought maybe Thomas had retired the podcast. I was absolutely thrilled to see a new episode and new season began! Thank you for continuing this amazing source of mindfulness!!!
  • Ibake4fun
    Great for the soul
    I love this podcast for so many reasons, though it’s hard to explain why. It’s very calming and eye opening. It makes me think about things that I didn’t before. It helps with reflection, ways to improve my mind, body and spirit. Hopefully helping me to become a more “mindful” person. I enjoy both the teachings and the meditations. Thomas has the perfect voice for this type of teaching.

    Calming and insightful
    I love this podcast! It has nourished my soul in ways I can’t even verbalize. The meditations are calming and leave me with food for thought far beyond the moments that I’m listening. Thank you Thomas McConkie for putting your heart and soul into these meditations.
  • Aubrey Chaves
    Feeds my soul
    This podcast feeds my soul. It’s the one I’m always listening to. I never feel rushed to get through it, I just want to sit with it all the time.
  • Scott Schaelling
    This is my one podcast.
    I don't listen to podcasts. But I do listen to this. I appreciate the combination of instruction and practice within each episode. I find this more helpful than only listening to guided meditations with no instructor context. The teacher is quality.
  • mowens05
    Great Podcast!
    I love this podcast. My favorite thing is that you get both a mini lesson on mindfulness principles and then a guided mediation to implement them. It has helped me progress so much in my mindfulness practice, and it has had a noticeable affect on my life. I focus better, I process my anxiety better, and I feel much more grounded. Thank you Thomas, for this gift!

    Fresh, beautiful content
    I use a lot of different technology during covid for meditation, but there is something different and special about mindfulness+. Powerful lessons that I think on for days. It’s always my go to when I wake up a little low or am not feeling in tune with myself. Please do yourself the favor of listening.
  • OldSmitty
    A great gift. Always deepening and blessing my life
    Thomas McConkie is a truly remarkable human being: gifted in not only fully embodying Mindfulness, and taking it to higher levels, but so well able to communicate it, to draw me in, to experience more beautiful ways of seeing and being in the world. To experience peace. I love his depth.

    What a change this “Mindfulness Plus”, has made in my life. I am forever grateful!!
  • SigaDenver
    Relevant and powerful
    This podcast has helped me understand that mindfulness is so much more than just taking time to relax. In each episode, Thomas shares a story/teaching which he briefly expounds upon then leads a guided meditation to practice the teaching that was shared. Well worth 20 minutes of your time each day.

    A Fortifying & Consistent Virtual Sangha
    This is a beautiful gift in the form of a unique podcast. It’s more than just a pleasing listen, it’s a service to the Community and I’ve found it a fortifying sanctuary for my mind. I appreciate the pace, depth and clarity of the teachings and the thought of virtual gathering of people brought together in this way feels nurturing during these trying times of physical distancing. Thank you for the meaningful teachings, Thomas.

    Thank you for this scintillating and edifying episode. I also loved learning about the new (for me) sources of wisdom from Lorca and Buhner!
