Christiane Wolf, MD, PhD, is a physician turned Mindfulness and Buddhist teacher. She bridges her traditional Buddhist teacher training in the Western Vipassana tradition, mainly through Trudy Goodman and Jack Kornfield, the secular mindfulness world, like MBSR - Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, where she is an expert teacher trainer, with her background in medicine and science. Being a non-native English speaker herself, she is acutely aware of the importance and challenge of meaningful and appropriate translation and sees herself as a translator of the ancient wisdom teachings into clear, kind, and compassionate language, within clinical settings and in the wider community. Christiane is teaching in Los Angeles at InsightLA, where she is a senior teacher, at Spirit Rock Meditation Center, and also in Europe. She is the co-author of the book “A Clinician’s Guide to Teaching Mindfulness”.

Love how you describe how to feel your body from the inside and that it is ok if you don’t feel anything. Thank you 🙏

I love that she talks about not feeling or numbness as equally valid as feeling something in a particular body part.

Amazing practice, so helpful. Would definitely recommend especially if you’re struggling with sitting in silence on your own. I think it gives you a compassionate way of dealing with your thoughts. Will add to play list to repeat. Thank you 🙏
