Daron Larson
Daron Larson uses what people already know about physical fitness to help them navigate the challenges of mindfulness practice — an idea he explored in his TEDxColumbus Talk: Don’t Try to Be Mindful.
His Attentional Fitness approach to mindfulness practice involves cultivating objectivity in response to ordinary sensory perceptions — including the components of subjective experience. The exercise he practices and shares provide a rich variety of ways to cross-train attentional skills such as concentration, real-time emotional awareness, and self-regulation.
Daron has discovered – in his own life and the lives of his students – that exercising these capacities can lead to feeling more at home in the messiness of real life.
Daron has contributed brain scans as an adept meditator for neuroscience research studies at Harvard Medical School and the University of Vermont.
