He has a diverse training with over 9,000 hours of meditation, and a teaching style that is pragmatic, simple, methodical, and non-sectarian. Giovanni's personal anthem is Empowered Peace and Empowered Peace is the reality he lives in now. At only 15-years old,  meditation taught Gio that the real bully was inside his head, and that he could learn to be his own best friend. It taught him how to let go, be greater than his problems, and accept himself. Giovanni has written a book called Practical Meditation: A Simple Step-By-Step Guide.</p> Listen & Subscribe on: <a href='http://www.mindfulnessmode.com/ApplePodcast'>iTunes</a> / <a href='https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/mindfulness-mode'>Stitcher</a> / <a href='http://feed.mindfulnessmode.com/'>Podbean</a> / <a href='https://overcast.fm/itunes1032063236/mindfulness-mode-interviews-mindful-tips-with-bruce-langford'>Overcast</a> / <a href='https://open.spotify.com/show/5gwe3XCsyPLcLmCIkF2iS9'>Spotify</a> Contact Info <ul><li>Website: <a href='http://www.liveanddare.com/'>www.liveanddare.com</a></li> <li>Book: <a href='https://www.amazon.com/Practical-Meditation-Simple-Step-Step/dp/1465473416/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Practical+Meditation&qid=1606680410&sr=8-1'>Practical Meditation: A Simple Step-By-Step Guide by Giovanni Dienstmann</a></li> </ul> Most Influential Person <ul><li>The Buddha</li> </ul> Effect on Emotions <ul><li>Mindfulness for me means that I don't need to run away from any emotion and that I don't need to react to any emotion. I can just accept whatever emotion is happening to me right now, with all the sensations in my body, pleasant or unpleasant and that there's still space for me to chose what I want to do with it. Do I just want to watch and let it pass? Do I want to fuel it to attention and then increase it if it's a positive emotion? Do I want to process it so that it kind of disappears. Mindfulness gives me these options.</li> </ul> Thoughts
