I’ve watched videos of this meeting a lot recently. Jon kabat-zinn looks so cool to me wearing all black. The most beautiful flower arrangement I have seen beside him. But it’s not just him personally, it’s the archetype of the person seated in meditation, and the moment of human potential, and power.( benevolent power) To me this is so very moving.

I once liked her approach when I was very unaware of what trauma is or my own trauma. Now I‘m more for truly and radically accepting what is and that includes my thoughts and feelings. Do not get me wrong - I looked very deeply into what I think, do and feel and why. If it hurt, it did hurt - that‘s real AND it is okay. Exactly as it is. Suffering is a reality. No more need to gaslight myself out of my own experience, no need to change it - just being at peace with it.

Big hug

Thank you Lyla, I love you, keep speaking truth, please

A Note on Resting States, Resting Brains, and Meditative States A resting state, or ‘somatic rest’, would seem to correspond with a brain at rest or ‘neurologic’ rest, but by definition, somatic and neurologic rest are entirely different things. A resting ‘state’ or somatic rest represents the inactivity of the covert striatal musculature due to the application of resting protocols (continual avoidance of perseverative thought represented by rumination, worry, and distraction). Resting states also are affective states, as they elicit opioid activity in the brain. Resting states in turn may occur in tandem with all levels of non-perseverative thought that are passive or active, from just passively ‘being in the moment’ or being mindful, to actively engaging in complex and meaningful cognitive behavior. The latter cognitive behavior is also additionally affective in nature due to its elicitation of dopaminergic activity, and resulting opioid-dopamine interaction results in a perceived state of ‘bliss’ or ‘flow’. On the other hand, a resting ‘brain’, neurologic rest, or the so-called ‘default mode network’ is a specific type of neural processing that occurs when the mind is in a ‘passive’ state, or in other words, is presented with no or very limited cognitive demands. This results in ‘mind wandering’ that can segue into non-perseverative (creative thought) or perseverative thought (rumination, worry). A resting brain is due to a level of demand, not a kind of demand, as in somatic rest, and the latter may encompass different levels of demand or cognitive states with the same affective outcomes. In other words, affect is not dependent upon neurologic resting states, or the default mode network, as the affective outcomes of meditation are commonly replicated in cognitively active behaviors that are concomitant with somatic rest. It is remarkable that in the literature of meditation, the neurophysiology of rest is not defined, with a similar neglect to how neuro-muscular activity is actively shaped by experience or learning, and how it in turn modulates affect. The importance of meditation is very real, and the meditative community is understandably averse to equating it with rest since it makes meditation less ‘special’ or less marketable. But that is my argument nonetheless, which in the end provides a better advocacy of meditation by denying that meditation elicits a unique physiological process or state, which like the concept of ‘phlogiston’, or the imaginary element that enabled fire, impedes rather than furthers scientific inquiry. From ‘the book of rest, the odd psychology of doing nothing’ by ajmarr on scribd

I feel like I get healed when I hear this man speak - he is one of those rare individuals. And he’s so humble. Does anyone else have this experience?

Thank you 🙏

Well, to remain “Still” in mind, take it like this：There is No “disruptive” coughing. There are only *audible flow of air* happened once in a while. 😉 Keep in mind, these noises or audible flow of air are also part of the training.

You lost me at Greta Thunberg.

"i know this guy" LOL

So, what part of this is the Guided Meditation? 🤷🏽

Namaste brother

Joan Halifax quote highlights from this video: “There is a compassion deficit in our world.” “How do we make compassion viral?” "This entire world is disturbed with insanity, due to the exertions of those who are confused about themselves." - Shantideva (685 - 763) “Compassion ensures human survival. Survival of the kindest.” “Helping others makes us happy.” “The secret sauce of compassion: connectedness, relatedness.” “Compassion is the capacity to attend to the experience of others, to feel concern so you can attend to others suffering, to be able to really sense into what will serve others, and to have the capacity to serve directly or indirectly.” “Compassion is not empathy, although it includes the process of empathy. Empathy is about cognitive and affective resonance, whereas compassion is feeling concerned for and the desire to alleviate the suffering of others.” “Disrupt complacency, and engage compassion. Spread the news that compassion is a sane, healthy, collaborative, radical necessity.” “We can do it now, that's the beautiful part of it. We don't have to wait. We can gather our attention now, we can remember really why we're here, we can attune to ourselves and be really present, we can sense into others, we can look deeply into our fundamental wisdom and see what will really serve, and then we engage.” G.R.A.C.E. Method: Cultivating Compassionate Interactions G: Gathering attention-How do we get really grounded? How do we focus? How do we get really present? By gathering our attention-usually through the medium of the body. R: Recalling intention-How do we touch into our motivation-the ethical foundation for what it means to be a full human being in our world today? A: Attuning to self/other-Attuning first to oneself at the levels of body (somatic), heart (affective), and mind (cognitive)? Really being able to tune into our biases, to see where we're at, and to prime those networks that actually relate to our capacity to sense into the experience of others and then sensing into the experience of others. C: Considering what will serve-To use insight, metacognition, our basic wisdom, as a means for engaging in interactions in ways that are really principled. E: Engaging and ending-To engage with people, to engage with communities, and then to complete that engagement.

There have always been Jews and Arabs and Christians living in the Middle East. The original Jewish migration was for the most part legally paid for by the Jews ( of course there were exceptions ). There were also many thousands of Arabs moving the region also, so who has the right to arrive into the region ? Dr Mate says that the refugees have gone through decades of what the Jews have gone through. Really Has Israel routinely assaulted the Palestinians with the stated goal of killing ALL of them. There are now millions of Palestinians as opposed to hundreds of thousands in the 1920's. The Palestinians have been supported with BILLIONS of dollars, which they spend on tunnels, armaments, and squandered on corruption. Jews in the Middle East have been almost eradicated in the region except for those within Israel, it is the most successful act of ethnic cleansing of all time ! Before the creation of Israel, the land was part of English and French control, before that Ottoman and Austro Hungarian, before that was it part of the Arabic/Persion/Islamic, Prior to that Holy Roman control, then Roman These lands have been fought over for millenia

Excellent 👌

What an inspiration to us all in the quest to decolonize and stand for the freedom and liberation of all people's and in turn the cultivation of the deepest reverence and respect for this beautiful earth. Aho! So Be It!

'Presenticing' brilliant. Far better word than 'awarenessing'.

In my case, my mother has a strong ego pattern and still is very psychologically shallow at 80. The Work and other insights about amygdala and the fearbased brain's constant chatter have finally ( after a life of anxiety and depression, medication, obesity and codependency) made me open enough to the moment that I can visit her every week without us arguing. This is IMO a way to the peace that surpasses understanding that the Bible talks about. True forgiveness.

I hope it works with humans as well once the clinical trial started.

This talk by a Navajo woman, who has a university doctorate, is about Empires and so-called "civilization". Does the doctorate make her civilized? She has a point about the ironically barbaric enforcement of "civilization" on indigenous people, and so-called "culture". I'm not sure she's entirely right, though. "Peace", among the many disparate tribal designations was not as simple as she makes out. Among the different indigenous people there is, in any case, a "civis", or a "polis", as there was among the Ancient Greeks, or Babylonians, and probably way back into unrecorded history. There is always some sort of structure and, unfortunately, a hierarchy, organising society and relationships. There are also accepted morals, sometimes enforced by Laws. If we watch, as I do, birds in my garden, even the blackbirds are "at war" with each other. Other animals are the same, and we humans are "animals". Amitav Ghosh, in The Nutmeg's Curse, outlines wars between indigenous "tribes" in the islands of the China Seas. Something both bound the tribes together, or alienated "people of the forest". We can't simply blame the Dutch, or British empires. She also mentions "the Romans". It needs to be said, that the Romans themselves were "Pagans". Religions both bind and alienate, and Christianity has often been a cause for wars, despite its suppised message of Peace! We humans choose to associate with other humans, according to some commonality that we perceive in others. Maybe nowadays language binds us, or defines us. But in the past it may simply have simply been geography, or more simply, proximity and family?

uncomfortable intro

Even though this video is 5 years old I am still here because I have read her book “Loving what is” recommend by my psychotherapist. I always thought my problems were due to a horse accident I was in while attending CSUF . But I was finally tested it’s now a the test has concluded that I have a Personality Disorder leaning towards anxiety. I am an American who now has lived in Denmark since 88.

Such a privilege to access this learning,thankyou.❤

What about the person that we care so much about- let them go to heal yourself in a moment of time

looks like, she doesn't believe in God. Why not simply say the word "God" ?

Two multi- millionaires discussing what is mindfulness and a meaningful life......this is a joke, right?

Interesting
