Episode 56: Music, Mindfulness, and the Present Moment with Keith Macpherson

Can music bring you back to yourself? In this thoughtful conversation, musician, author, coach, and mindfulness teacher Keith Macpherson reflects on how music first became a vehicle for self-expression and later evolved into a powerful tool for healing, presence, and personal growth. Drawing from his experiences as a performer, educator, and mindfulness practitioner, Keith explores how music can help us process emotions, access meaningful memories, and cultivate deeper self-awareness. He also shares key insights from his book, Making Sense of Mindfulness, offering practical ways to quiet the inner critic, strengthen self-compassion, and reconnect with the present moment.
