Neuroscience + Mindful Awareness Training = Thriving Children with Goldie Hawn

[@rr7firefly]

Beauty, intelligence and social awareness -- Goldie Hawn is a real leader who deserves a much bigger platform for her timely message. If our politicians were even half the humans that Goldie is there would be a dramatic change for the better. // seeing this again in 2024 I wonder if these programs would be outlawed in backward bastions like Florida and Texas. After all, to them Goldie is part of the Hollywood crowd.

I am a teacher in Boston who has dreamed of a program like MInd-Up and fought my way to teach it and won. This year, my school has become an Extended Day school ant teachers had autonomy on what to teach for the extended day time. I chose Mind-Up. I am so happy that my principal, trusted me enough to allow it. It is an amazing program and the Mind-Up culture in the classroom makes such a difference in both emotional and academic learning. Thank you Goldie!!! This is our global future.

Mindfulness training saved my life when I was 14. Praise God , there was a group of counselors in my town, who chose a few teenagers to study this. I was one of them. I was miserable, abused at home, and suicidal. I came back from training after one week, a different person. It's powerful. Hope it gets to more schools.

[@Obstropolous]

Why praise God? Why not praise the Buddha for mindfulness training? Not that the latter wanted to be praised.

[@user-hn1zb9rk4h]

not much of a comrade. try some mindfulness training.

[@PeregrineMoss]

Abused at home, and helped at 14 to turn your life around. This warms my heart. We need the younger generation to survive and live beyond their (our) abuse into a thriving, loving world. Thanks for sharing your story. It gives me hope more will break the cycle of abuse until its gone.

"I really wanted to be happy" ... and today, Goldie Hawn is a great inspiration! Thanks for this great video.

[@mamalovesthebeach437]

I never thought about this . . . I too went through the air raid drills in school and remember being fearful for so very long . . . I shut down, lived on the surface. I, like Goldie, used to answer when asked what I want to "be", I said, "happy!". Goldie is such a wise sage . . . it frightens me to think about the world my son is inheriting . . . and that is what drives me in my activism. I love the crucial information Goldie's foundation is providing to children. I wish my son (now almost 20) had this information as a child. Anyone that pays attention can see that Goldie is a very intelligent, passionate woman. She's AWESOME and I'm so grateful she's getting this message to the children. Big love to her and her mission . . .

[@traceyiorio9548]

Incredible! This program should be implemented into every teaching program, every elementary school, middle and high school. As higher education advisor I find that students no longer have the ability to self soothe and have never learned coping strategies. This program will solve many issues later in life. Thank you to Goldie Hawn and her entire team for the work they are doing on this extremely important topic.

[@angiejonesslusher4514]

How refreshing to hear her have a positive message. So sorely needed.

[@japandata]

Good for Goldie! I love when great people do such positive things.

[@melaniestubbs5955]

Just what I NEED....In this F... Up world where people are just TELLING You what to do....HOW ABOUT HAPPINESS???🥰..Starts with our kids...My own mother, "Miserable" in her life and can't help but feel she pass it on. God rest her soul..But your given me food for thought, Hit it right on the HEAD. No counselor can give me...WHAT YOU HAVE..Thank you Goldie. Good Work👍😇

[@marilaucher9989]

I worked at NBC and saw Goldie in the commissary frequently.I delivered scripts to the set and sat in the Big Laugh In chair. I was young and who knew that Goldie had those same thoughts. Smiley Goldie. I too found analysis. I also discovered India and mindfulness. There was no other way exceot the way of the souls who seemed aimless in Hollywood. She is right. Neuroscience corroborates what the ancients knew what Carl Jung knew. Blessings to you and your good work Goldie. Soul sista.

[@LightworkBeacon]

I think it's wonderful that she is providing an environment, to bring the work of mindfulness and philosophies articulated by those such as Eckhart Tolle, to a children-focused initiative.

[@Cici92014]

Thank you Goldie for helping the children and thus ripples through this chaotic world 💫🙏💫❤️

[@normahernandez355]

Thank you for your contributions to the world with excellent solution......God Bless you many times over!!!! 🙏💖🌺

[@dhmetaman]

Go Goldie, I met you on a Heart♥Space with you during this presentation. So much heart and devotion for a cause that will impact our world!

[@adriennetynes4064]

Awesome I've always been this way. Many don't understand me but thank you Goldie. This is what I've been telling people for over 40 years and I was mis understood. Thank you.

[@yoginitime]

So happy to hear about this program today! This is SO GREAT! This is what our children need at an early age. I agree with you and this is a solution. So terrific!!!!! I want to help somehow.

[@howdychick30]

I really wish this program wasn't only directed towards just classrooms... The material and training is meant for schools... I homeschool and I'd love be to implement something like this but I can't afford a $4 or 5k program. Next move should be a homeschool program!!! ❤

[@brianwunderlin7752]

You can buy the book from Scholastic for under $20. It is the training where the cost is at.

[@karenblaise858]

If only the NEA would adopt this. Children un other cultures learn to sit still and calm their minds...great work!

[@Jaylee0920]

You are so right. Thank yo Igor sharing this story and your wonderful work! We need more Goldie in all of us!

[@4notron]

FREEDOM empowers all of what Goldie Hawn wants for humanities children automatically without effort.

[@Lee-255]

This is the way. As a teacher trainer in Ireland, I can understand how this can and should be integrated into the education system. Very smart and progressive.

[@ianiskiliakis7131]

The lift for to regain our strength is inside ... thank you for this testimony that opens a new future for our children ... it is also valid for us.. Adults.

[@lieblee3063]

Goldie Hawn you are amazing 👍🙏😘❤️

[@over50iqeq49]

I want to thank Goldie Hawn's mother. When I was a child, if I'd gone home from school for lunch because of a film (even that one, though it's a bit before my time...the Cuban missile crisis...), first my mother would have mocked me and shamed me for being afraid of a film. She would have socked me--a lot. Then when my father came home from work she would have told him. That night, if he felt like it, he would have lectured me for hours and/or beaten me. I had to manipulate him to control his anger because I was often afraid he would beat me to death. I was a pretty little blond dancing Jewish girl too. I grew up to be a lonely, depressed person whose dreams were often stolen away from me by my parents. I've always loved Goldie Hawn. Is it no coincidence that my father didn't like her? I also used to say I wanted to be happy and people thought I was ridiculous. I have a Mensa IQ, but I'm still treated as the dumb blond. If every child really understood this, and practiced it, had fun and respected each other, we could reduce the number of sociopaths and BPD etc. to the point of ... zero someday. Could happen! As for the Japanese education comment, I appreciate the feeling of it, but in fact (I live in Japan) kids are bullied here and suicide is all too common among kids. There's a lot of abuse at home...it's a different culture because of so many factors. Mindfulness automatically helps the kids to focus on and enjoy their education. I think that's the point, or one of the points. The Japanese system doesn't even really work that well in Japan. They need MindUp just as much as all the children of the world. TY GH and TAI for posting this talk.

[@BabeRideEasy]

Well put. It's tough being a blonde girl with a Mensa IQ, I am too.

[@pamelapieris]

Love what you said Goldi, love 'the old dog' wanting to learn new tricks. Bravo !

stress and fear isolates us. we lose all sense of self and belonging it creates hostility. we lose our personal power. jxxx

[@scottjohnson4985]

Wonderful video well done we need to bring mindfulness in Australian schools

[@52lionsmane]

her story about the movie about being attacked, we went through that in school too. It had the same effect on me, I never thought I would grow up, I always was scared I was going to die, it was horrible.

[@antoniademetri]

I LOVE HER!!!! 😍😍🥰🥰🥰

[@taralilarose1]

Hi Goldie! I've been told by many folks that I remind them of you!!

[@ajmarr5671]

How Mindfulness works best when one is not being mindful Meditative practices from focal to mindfulness meditation have deep relaxation as a primary entailment that is present during and after meditation. Relaxation naturally feels pleasant, due primarily to the release of endogenous opioids. However, affect in relaxation is not static, but dynamic, as opioid release is enhanced due to concurrently perceived reward uncertainty, which can be demonstrated easily through practical procedure. Some perspective first. It has recently been shown (link below) that reward uncertainty or novelty can improve the sensory experience of high value reward. In other words, popcorn actually tastes better when we are watching exciting movies, and tastes worse when we are watching paint dry. This is due to what are called dopamine-opioid interactions, or the fact that dopamine activity (elicited by positive novel events, and responsible for a state of arousal, but not pleasure) interacts with our pleasures (as reflected by mid brain opioid systems), and can actually stimulate opioid release, which is reflected in self-reports of greater pleasure. This principle should logically apply to all events, sensory or perceptual, that elicit opioid release, and meditation is a case in point. Since meditation is the best way to induce a state of deep rest, it follows that after a meditation session, the pursuit of exclusively meaningful behavior (meaning would be defined as behavior that has branching novel positive implications), would increase the pleasure of relaxation and keep us relaxed. This has many examples in common experience, as we often have pleasurable or ‘flow’ experiences when doing meaningful work when in a relaxed state. So rather than surrendering to distraction when not meditating, just put off all distraction and exclusively do meaningful things, and you will note that the pleasant effects of mindfulness will be accentuated and will endure. A more formal explanation from affective neuroscience of this technique is provided on pp. 44-50 in a little open-source book on the neuro-psychology of rest linked below, and the flow experience on pp. 80-85. The book is based on the work of the distinguished affective neuroscientist Kent Berridge, who was kind to review for accuracy and endorse the work. Rauwolf, P., et al. (2021) Reward uncertainty - as a 'psychological salt'- can alter the sensory experience and consumption of high-value rewards in young healthy adults.

[@jrachellenewham8674]

This i very interesting and I can see how good can come from it. I still feel very strongly that it begins at home. Being an American and grew up in the good ole USA not Corporate America. Government guidelines do not belong is the school. You are a spiritual person, I am a spiritual person a Go's fearing individual. Where do we draw the line of control for all American citizens and how they what their children raised and exposed to.

[@shivayaharel]

How can we bring it to Israel ??? where it so needed

[@dianethomas7149]

Thank you! Where can we learn to implement this into our life’s?

[@forreal245]

"Optimistic child in a safe environment..." That may work well AT school until they return to their drug-infested, non-religious, uneducated, welfare, single-parent homes. Hopefully, this "mindfulness & meditation" will be carried home. Kudos to GH for "trying" to help the youth.

[@menheal2255]

Mindfulness is good. However it is being used as a sticking plaster. Instead of using a sticking plaster how about actually trying to reduce unnecessary stresses in schools? Common sense doesn't feel magical though does it.

[@sabinefleschutz]

+MEN HEAL Besides the fact that i think the entire school system needs a major overhaul, and perhaps reducing test related stressors, mindfulness is a tool for life, not just school. Many children nowadays get every obstacle removed by their parents, every pain relieved by painkillers, any waiting shortened by electronics, so that they don't have to encounter discomfort very often and therefore don't know how to be with it. Mindfulness will help them endure life's stressors, and there is no way those can be reduced. So might as well start learning in school, which is a microcosm of the world, how to survive in a crazy society.

[@mikezooper]

+Asla Earthling True but 99% of mindfulness out there is McMindfulness. I've trained for years in mindfulness... I've seen so many people teaching mindfulness who have only done a few months training if that. Mindfulness is a very powerful thing... it can cause damage to people. Most people are ignorant of this. Most mindfulness experts (the ethical ones) are concerned about McMindfulness. It isn't mindfulness. McMindfulness is being sold... hollywood actresses selling it. Hopefully you will awaken to what is happening.

[@sabinefleschutz]

+Mike Y I'd be curious to know how mindfulness can be harmful and cause damage to people? Please explain.... I"ve been practicing mindfulness for years, as well as meditation, dance and yoga. I appreciate that you'd like me to "awaken to what is happening'; however, I think i'm quite awake;)

[@sabinefleschutz]

+Asla Earthling I also work with children and youth, and have been using mindfulness based art therapy with them; hard to see how any of it could be harmful, except in cases where a child has been severely traumatized and is being brought back by an unskilled practitioner to a liminal space during mindfulness practice, where her memories can suddenly invade and re-traumatize her.

[@mikezooper]

Exactly my point. You are using mindfulness without knowing the side-effects. You weren't trained properly. If you had been your trainer would have taught you a) about the side-effects and b) what to do when they arise. See: "psychiatrists have now sounded a warning that as well as bringing benefits, mindfulness meditation can have troubling side-effects. Evidence is also emerging of underqualified teachers presenting themselves as mindfulness experts, including through the NHS" www.theguardian.com/society/2014/aug/25/mental-health-meditation

[@hrxy1]

What a pile of shite. Plastic lips, nose job, face lift, dyed hair. She looks a million dollarrs. Probably cost that much for all the rework, appallingly dreadfull

[@janedoe1146]

Goldie Hawn, Trump supporter. Where's the "Mindfull-ness"? Need to meditate a little deeper Goldie.

[@adventuresofpolkadot4817]

She is right. If we had Programs like MindUp would we see a difference in the growing violence and growing youth violence. How do we as a society and public turn this around?!

[@TheJillyWisdomGroup]

Thank you Goldie!!
