Since doing a ten minute meditation practice every day for a year I can see several benefits. Less emotional reactivity, more space and distance from thoughts and stories about myself. This has lead me to be more engaged in my life.

@@jodiescott8731Hi! It was a 10 minute unguided meditation. Just set a timer. Usually I follow my breath. If I’m in a stressed out state I will say inwardly: In then out and so on. I sometimes include the practice of counting down and counting up. This involves saying inwardly: 30 then 1, 29 then 2, 28 then 3, etc. It’s great way to train your attention. Hope this helps!

I really loved this talk. I've been mediating for the past 10 months, and have experienced the benefits: I have come to accept my anxiety, live with it peacefully, and it happens this has reduced my anxiety. I'm sleeping 8 hours a day (sometimes even 10), when a year ago I needed to take medication to sleep. I am kinder to myself, and I also think others (my close friends tell me I am more loveable). I tend to be kinda impulsive, now I can catch myself before I burst out (most of the time). I concentrate better at work, I have reduced my news intake and generally negative media intake, and list goes on and on... But what I really loved about this talk is that it takes midfulness to the next level. Mindfulness is not just meant to help us as individuals, but as a society. AMAZING!

Been meditating for more than a year and a half, every day with only a few days missed now, and I can say my life changed significantly for the better. I started small (basics, 3 minutes a day) and then incorporated 10 minutes of Headspace mindfulness meditation after brushing my teeth, every morning. Now it is a routine I hardly would like to give up and when there're moments of stress (resistance to the idea of practicing mindfulness) I find that just getting started, will afterwards resolve by itself.through the very act.of meditating in a mindful way. This is a skill that, once honed, can be used again and again and again.

Alexandru Gheorghe I began my meditation practice much the same way. About 2 years ago, very skeptical, a bit at a time. Found both Headspace and Calm app to be very useful. Now, I can’t imagine a day without formal meditation and informal mindfulness. It has allowed me to find more acceptance, happiness and the ability to be more present more often.

When we are aware of our thoughts we can challenge them... realize that they can be destructive... and are frequently irrational... and most importantly, change them. ... I have found that being kind makes me happy! ... and maybe being kind to others is my purpose...

He said the medication given for depression isn't the same at home. His home they make you go into community mode. Everyone gathers for you and with you to do things in the community. Other wives would help her. She went back home to receive the care she missed the most.

A photographer is taking a picture, he has the camera in his hand. But if that camera is moving up and down, he will not be able to take any picture perfectly. That picture will be blurred or it will be spoiled. So in order to take a perfect picture he has to hold that camera completely stationary. In the same way when a person meditating, the mind become the camera and the object becomes the energy of God,the Cosmic Energy,or the universal spirit or universal Energy. So when the mind takes a picture, first of all the mind has to be stationary, it has to be concerned. If the mind is moving up and down there'll be no experience of God and that's what happens to many people. But when the mind becomes stationary, through meditation , through concentration, then the mind is in a position to take picture of that Universal Spirit. So that is why, in order to experience, to get the experience we have to understand that we have to control the mind , make this mind stationary ,which is very important.

A clear-calm mind is what everybody wants and I'm grateful for having it. I feel utmost silence in my mind such that I can focus on anything effectively. I feel a gentle sensation throughout my body as a result of deep meditation. I have attained control over my mind and I allow only positive thoughts to enter in. My habits have uplifted my mood and I'm happy about this.

But this is NOT the goal of meditation / mindfulness. The goal is not to control your thoughts and “only allow positive thoughts in” or even to silence your thoughts. This is impossible. None of that is the goal. This is a common misconception. The goal of meditation/ mindfulness is simply to observe and let it go… _without judgement._ Thoughts are neither negative or positive, they just *are.* There is no way to silence our minds or experience only “positive” thoughts. It sounds like you haven’t studied meditation/ mindfulness to say these things.

I got really good at doing all those things. And still do. I have a lot of pain and surgeries and it is very hard to distract myself from the pain I do breathing exercises and been a meditater for quite a few years. a few areas. I have lost my passion which was the love and ability to see my grandchildren, this really threw me for a loop I did not see this coming I have mostly detached from it after 18months. My daughter-in-law is a narcissist. I resolved I can still love them and pray that this will will change. I have to get my sparks back. I had things I was passionate about but couldn't follow threw because of my health. I meditate to turn my thoughts off. But it doesn't work on my emotions. Feelings are painful especially grief have to be felt. But for how long? There are 2 opinions 1. They need to be controlled. 2. They need to be felt. 3. That is what I need to know? Meditation works and positivity. I now have a great deal of positivity affirmations and live a comfortable life. So that is not a problem anymore.

Still dealing with their gas-lighting but, like after a hard bicycle ride or doing those leg exercises that hurt so much; the first day after, you just ache, moaning and groaning about the pain. The following days you revel in your new found strong feeling and commend yourself for subjecting to that pain. Peace

Being mindful led me to find the love of my life but I got way too lazy. I was mindful for the months prior and a couple of months into the relationship but it’s so easy to drift a away and be sucked into the relationship more than your own personal life. Take it from me - always pay attention to your feeling and the world around you. Don’t lose yourself. Be mindful.

“May you be well and happy, May you be free from suffering, May you be strong and healthy.” I am a Theravada Buddhist and I practise this daily several times a day. This is called Loving Kindness Meditation (Metta Bhavana) in Buddhism. There are two more Buddhist meditations that I practise. They are Concentration Meditation (Samatha Bhavana), and Insight Meditation (Vipassana Bhavana). I have learnt these three meditation techniques from London Buddhist Vihara, UK. Meditation has brought me and millions of people peace of mind.

Srikanth Rao, Meditation is the permanent way to joy and a stress free life because it reprogrames the mind. Enter " Alternate nostril breathing meditation' videos on Google search and do the simple meditation for 10 minutes early morning and if possible at night. Several negative thoughts will come in your mind but they will slowly vanish with daily practice of the above meditation. Focus slightly on the incoming and outgoing breath as you do the above meditation which is life transforming. Best wishes--Shyaaam Sir--Life Coach

Awesome. I’m a buddhist and we are taught to do this since i can remember. It’s myit tar poe. Sending your wishes and gratitudes to others. Generally we do that in directions. Eg like, To the universe, the living creatures in east, may all be free from danger, may all be away from disturbances that affect peaceful state of mind, may all can find peacefulness and tranquility. Then we repeat with west, north, south, up and down, NE, SE, NW, SW u can expand depending on the amt of available time u have. We do actually have a prayer song to this. People usually play it in morning n we can just follow it. With peaceful and calm background music, u can actually feel the effect right away. That’s how many people starts their day as a theravada buddhist.

Not just through mindfulness, but learning about the Taoist, Buddhist and Stoic beliefs that are at its core, I see now it is possible to self treat chronic depression and anxiety. I was convinced that my forever narrative was that I would always be this way, it’s in my family, it’s from being raised by certain kinds of emotional role models, etc., and I’d forever be on meds. I’m a family doctor and see it so much every day. Since starting on this road, and though I’ll never get to perfect enlightenment, which should not be the focus, I have become less worried, less down, less anxious, and recommend it now to patients. Some still need meds to get out of the present hole they’re in but I can say too that it doesn’t have to be a permanent thing. What a life changer, by re-creating one’s mind. For the first time I’ve SLOWLY started to cut back the dosage and not felt a relapse. Fingers crossed.

I got emotional reading this because A, I am so heartened to hear of your journey, and B, such resonance with my own! I spent YEARS in such a funk because I believed such painful narratives about myself. Nowadays, after years and years of study and training (and being still such a beginner!), it is not that I do not get into dark places; it is that the light of awareness does wonders. May you be happy and free from suffering!

There’s something I don’t understand. It seems to be generalized that a wandering mind is something to be condemned. But I take so much enjoyment in just stopping for a while and letting my mind free and wander on its own, navigating the various aspects and particularities of my life inside of my head, organizing thoughts and seeing things clearer. It gives me so much understanding about myself and makes me feel so much more fulfilled.

Excelente explicación, para el poco tiempo que tuvo, no dejó cabos sueltos. Que grandes beneficios para la humanidad estos estudios que demuestran lo que sistemas espirituales orientales llevan milenios diciendo. Pienso que el momento y lugar preciso para su aplicación es en los colegios, generar estos desarrollos en los niños sería un giro de 180° para la sociedad, ya que en vez de tener que hacer cambios estructurales en el cerebro y lograr que el adulto comprenda y se comprometa es más difícil que el crearlo como hábito desde pequeños. Siento que nuestra sociedad está en un punto crítico de estupidez mental, no tenemos ni idea de que hacer para lograr el bienestar y nos volcamos al exterior, tristemente en cosas que no nos crear felicidad sino distracciones. Gracias Dr. Davidson y a todos aquellos que participan en estas investigaciones, ojalá ese conocimiento e interés se esparza a nivel mundial.

@@illyrosen9772 The simple way is to think about the situation when you felt love. Like hugging somebody you love, a child, or even your pet. The best memories are when you felt the mutual love that you shared with somebody. But other happy memories are good too, like watching beautiful landscape or feeding birds. It is an individual thing. When you think about moments you felt love you start feeling love. It doesn't even have to be a real memory. You just have to think about something that makes you feel love. It works the same with all emotions. Thinking about the moment when you felt an emotion connects you to this emotion and you start feeling it (generating it). Sad moments, angry moments, peaceful moments, etc. After some practice, you will be able to generate love just by wishing to feel it, and eventually, you will feel it almost all the time. It will be harder to do when you are in a bad mood but it still works, you just have to make a bigger effort.

Dr. Davidson do you know the power of unconditional love and how to identify in a person if they are expressing unconditional love . Most people I’ve researched don’t know if they love unconditionally or don’t know how to identify if they are. I created a method that discovers if a person does or does not. When I perform my method on them an instant transition of awareness takes place in their minds and there hearts. As a result of this method there perception of life changes almost instant . It’s amazing . The most important factor is that this experience and the emotion can and will last a lifetime !!!!

Richard J. Davidson was on the BBC last night talking about this very thing. I was so glad to learn about this study! I have had some problems that have not been solved with antidepressants etc., and I have been looking for a healthy way to rewire my brain in a more positive way for years. I have had some very positive results from meditation in the past, but I fell off the horse, so to speak. I think this sounds promising, and I am very excited to get started, though I know that it will be "a process", and I just need to be patient, and the progress will happen eventually. Patience is not my one of my strengths, but then that is one of main reasons why I need this so badly! Thanks to TED talks, and thanks to Mr. Davidson!
