The power of mindfulness and simply living in the present is so powerful!It has helped heal from being labelled with numerous mental health issues,drug addiction,and living much of life as my own worst enemy. I am now 46 years old,am fully present for the first time in my life,and am in love with life as well as myself!I meditate every day,do yoga,journal,exercise,and spend time in nature every day.I limit my screen time,don't watch the news,and I am no longer anxious or depressed as I no longer live in the past or worry about the future!It's never too late to change!

Brilliant presentation! I've listened to this talk about 5-6 times over the last month while driving and today was the first time I had the chance to actually watch it. I started practicing yoga regularly and meditating at least 20 minutes a day a little over one year ago and the results so far have been life changing! I've faced some major setbacks and challenges over the last few years and because I would spend all my waking hours ruminating and dwelling on these past mistakes it created a lot of anxiety, stress and ultimately severe bouts of depression. But with my mindful practice I'm happy to say I've made an 180 degree turn and have lately been filled with more awareness, patience, compassion and contentment than I know what to do with! Because of neuroscientists like Dr. David Vago I believe the world is definitely on track to becoming a more happy and peaceful place.

As I'm learning more about Tai Chi People do indeed underestimate how effective Tai Chi is just because of slow movement, Tai Chi is a moving form of meditation. Interestingly, when we look at specific studies for specific diseases, we see that Tai Chi consistently emerges as superior or as good as all other forms of non-pharmaceutical treatments. And because Tai Chi has no side effects, it may be appropriate as an important complement-or, in some cases, a replacement-for drug therapy. This scientific evidence also shows that Tai Chi is one of the most effective intervention for health and wellness and complements standard medical treatment for the prevention and rehabilitation of many conditions commonly associated with age. The main benefits of Tai Chi its energizing, calming, grounding, centering and enjoyable aspects. Findings further pointed to additional benefits incurred in the learning process of Tai Chi movements, such as patience, acceptance of things as they are, and an increase in physical, mental, and spiritual awareness.

The more opportunities for practice the better. However, some people can sit on a cushion for years and not achieve much benefit while others could achieve much more from one single sit. Benefit really begins with intention and continues with the appropriate context and style of practice. Someone with trauma for example may not benefit at all from sitting in meditation on the breath, but more from doing movement-based contemplative practices like yoga or tai chi - science is still grappling with identifying which types of practices and dosage work best for which types of people.

I see. Ok, while death is certain for everyone, does any certain type of meditation helps or benefit a person facing his own mortality or death? Maybe most stresses are due to the uncertainty about death or avoiding death related subject.

Can you tell me what are the most efficient techniques for shedding rumination and anxiety and resentfulness? Are there more than one? Or does it depend on each individual? Thank you, David Vago
@DaveVago5 жыл бұрын
your welcome Robert. the most powerful tool against negative ruminations is awareness. the concentration meditations will train you to repeatedly return to focus from distraction

@@DaveVago subconscious reprogramming- Listening to a set list of statements that align with the change you want to feel and see. You may make your own list such as I am free I am happy I am calm I release all emotions that hold me from moving forward Etc. Play it while you sleep. Our subconscious is a tape player of thoughts, emotions and experiences and patterns...These leave an imprint..One that has the ability to form our beliefs..Ones that were created by a collection of experiences we endured overtime.. those from emotions..and the level of severity in which we were affected...Change isn't far fetched...All it takes is your willingness...your true raw desire to become the best version of you..and in that cycle of change we must be aware..and mindful..periodically..all throughout every part of our day...we must stop and remember what we are striving for...It is only then ..through repetition...passion..a strong will..and resilience...we can become the person we are meant to be..by ridding ourselves of the toxic layers that make us someone we do not want to be.

Dave, has there been any work on Tai-Chi and the effects it has on the mind and body?
@DaveVago7 жыл бұрын
Hi Erick, there has been some good research on the effects of tai chi and qigong - A good resource would be a review done in 2011 - www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3085832/ Another good resource would be Peter Wayne - the research director at Osher at Harvard - www.brighamandwomens.org/Departments_and_Services/medicine/services/oshercenter/Leadership.aspx

Mindfulness in action is a soccer defender who dribbles the ball clear of his own goalmouth and passes to a team-mate. Lust is the opposite, it is to kick the ball high and far away -- the problem is the ball mostly ends up in opposition possession immediately especially if the ball goes over a sideline for a throw-in or a corner-kick. Therefore mindfulness is true courage and high-precision skill. Another example is a WW2 story. The soldiers with rifles are pinned down by a machine gunner. One brave man with faith stands up and shoots the gunner through the eye, a precision shot. Another example is buying grapes. The plastic bags for the grapes form a huge cylinder on a vertical spool. The correct, mindful-true, method is to turn the bags with both hands until the perforations are revealed that make the job easy. The false method is to grab at the small amount of exposed bag and pull lustfully, the bag breaks in your hand. From this we see lust blinds to the truth, in this case the correct method. We also see lust causes damage and damage is pain if another person is involved.

Meditation being one of the main aspects of Yoga, it's essential that we sit for meditation after practicing Yoga asanas and pranayama; else it is like preparing our dinner but not eating it! In meditation one delves deep into the self. Include Giloy capsules, Brahmi and shankhpushpi supplements from Planet Ayurveda are calming herbs and keep your immune system boosted naturally.

The problem starts when we believe that the mind and body can be trusted. Fact is, the two rarely agree with and cooperate with each other. Question: what/who is arbitrating between the two so that the “creature” is not utterly destroyed? What’s even more disturbing is the fact that the mind constantly demands/needs to be “sound”. And the body…demands to be comforted. It’s the ultimate contradiction to anything that might be construed as “well being” or “profitable” for this animal. This dude means well, but the fact is, we cannot outthink the mind and body. The best that we can do is “realize” the human condition and embrace the dilemma known as consciousness. Even that statement is nonsensical. And what about the subconscious? It doesn’t seem to have any arbitrating power either.. Anyone have any ideas?

Jesus too lived and demonstrated a life of mindfulness, prayer, meditation, connecting with God, thoughtful interactions, sympathy, empathy, penance, total forgiveness, sacrifice, forbearance and love ending with sacrificial death on Cross. A beautiful, simple life led to prove that aggression or domination are unnecessary. Fasting, prayer and intense meditation prayer empowers us was something He practiced and we have him as a guide and mentor

Thank you for this talk Dr. Dave. Thank you for sharing so much. If I may ask you, can mindfulness be helpful for involuntary tremors I keep having in my hands since childhood? (I do have anxiety problems and I don't know if what I have are Essential tremors or not. However, my tremors do emerge during a time I am relaxed too. But they always come during times I use them, like handing over something, counting money notes or holding phone. They always shake). How can one practice and utilize mindfulness for such a case? Any advice from you would be highly valuable. I wish you the best in life & thank you again.
@DaveVago6 жыл бұрын
mindfulness could certainly help with the discomfort and anxiety of your symptoms, but I would suggest seeing a neurologist to determine the etiology of the tremor. hope that helps.

Mindfulness is simply paying attention to the present moment at any activity that you are doing. When you are present the mind doesn't exist.
