Episode 54: A Conversation w/ Mindfulness Expert, Mahip Rathore Part 2
Mahip Rathore, PhD. lives in Santa Barbara with wife Lena Sclove & baby Aashray. He is a counseling psychologist in private practice, an adjunct faculty for a Psy D program at Pacifica Graduate Institute, and a meditation teacher in the community. He grew up in central India, and practiced law before transitioning to psychology. He wrote a thesis on cultivating wisdom by coping with life difficulties, and a dissertation on the impact of meta-cognitive aspects of mindfulness on self-transcendence. Mahip has completed five 10-day Vipassana meditation courses under the tradition of Sri S. N. Goenka. He has been studying Advaita Vedanta (an ancient Hindu tradition on Non-duality) for several years with Jim Gilman, a direct disciple of Swami Chinmaynanda. Mahip is passionate about teaching the application of mindfulness into daily life to alleviate human suffering. In therapy, Mahip enjoys integrating an open, non-directive, empathic person-centered approach with mindfulness-based techniques. He likes to explore one's sense of self using a psychodynamic lens, in a space of unconditional positive regard, and offer ways of loosening one’s attachment with the self and self-centric narratives or tendencies.
