Using Mindfulness to Choose Love Over Fear | Dr. Narveen Dosanjh M.D. | TEDxBushwick

[@ThePoligny]

Choose love and don't ever let fear turn you away from your playful heart. - Jim Carrey

[@UrbanomicInteriors]

I had to clap out loud at the end of this talk, which deserves a MUCH wider audience! I hope that more people hear this so that they can begin to understand the power that they have within, to move the world towards a place of compassion, understanding and peace. Fear and competition are not necessary. We can work together to find a more co-operative and productive way forward. Namaste.

Dr.Dosanjh is INSIGHTFUL.HIGHLY INTUITIVE,BRILLIANT!!!

[@sammi-loveistheanswer]

Wow! I have just written about fear and love, but not from an understanding of our brains, purely from my experience as I choose to live my life leading with love. This was so good to hear. It is confirmation that we do indeed hold all the answers within, and it also confirms that love is the answer 💓

[@Bongsborl]

Thanks a WHOLE LOT for this video Dr., it has calmed my fears, made me understand myself much better, and taught me to spread LOVE. I'm very thankful.

[@chinoex]

fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, and hate leads to suffering. patience, hope, faith, and love brings peace.

[@nrpeaceaus]

Not really. Just the privileged talking to the privileged. TED is a mutual stroking of hypercapitalist egos, convinced that your temporary elevation above the masses is self-merited. Quite fascinating in a horrific kind of way - I get the impression some of you may even manage to construct fragile moments of belief in your mythmaking. But the fog of self-justifying delusion will disperse. Out here in physical reality, in order to support your megaconsumption: ecosystems collapse, the world burns, and before long it will touch you too.

[@Firuzeh]

Narveen Dosanjh, MD Are you really giving positive feedback for your own speech? Nice😏

[@spiritelleema4676]

Waow, thank you so much for putting clearly into words what different people say differently. Worth a spiritual teacher's talk which shows all comes to one. Using this in psychiatry or anywhere in society is in my view the ultimate way to peace as opoosed to years of talking and trying to find out. All answers are inside. Consciousness is transforming! I'm on my way... ;)

Namaste. That is a Great session. I like the usage of ripple. Everyone creates ripples daily. Imagine everyones created daily ripple was energised Love, Care, Compassion, Peace, Kindness............... turns into a wave, a TSUNAMI... Imagine that? No more FEAR and HATRED. No more wars on this planet. Wowww. Image that!!! The flip side or the side I chose not to entertain, just like my shadow. I know its there but it never scares ME cause I know who I am. If peoples ripple started as fear or hatred based, imagine it turning into a wave, then a tsunami??? End of the world kind of shit yeah??? Thats why the best ripple for each of US to create daily is Love. If we can cause a Tsunami of LOVE across all seas and land, Nirvana. Cloud 9. Its just a little Dream........

How mindfulness and dance can stimulate a part of the brain that can improve mental health ---- Activating the somatosensory cortex may help us connect to our bodies, develop our sensitivity, sensuality and capacity to feel pleasure. --------------------------------------- Like a thick velvety headband, the somatosensory cortex arcs across the top of brain from just above one ear to the other. I fell in love with the brain as an undergraduate student and pursued a career in neuroscience, but for years I had largely ignored this structure, since it appeared to be involved “only” in processing of bodily sensations. In my mind, that meant it was not as fascinating as areas implicated in emotion or higher cognitive function. However, over the past decade, during my training in mindfulness-based interventions and dance movement therapy, I’ve come to realize that a well-functioning and developed somatosensory cortex may help us experience the world and ourselves more deeply and completely. It may enrich our emotional experience and improve our mental health. For decades, the somatosensory cortex was considered to only be responsible for processing sensory information from various body parts. However, recently it became apparent that this structure is also involved in various stages of emotion processing, including recognizing, generating and regulating emotions. Moreover, structural and functional changes in the somatosensory cortex have been found in individuals diagnosed with depression, anxiety and psychotic disorders. These studies suggest that the somatosensory cortex may be a treatment target for certain mental health problems, as well as for preventive measures. Some researchers have even suggested neuromodulation of the somatosensory cortex with transcranial magnetic stimulation or deep brain stimulation. However, before we decide to use an invasive technology, we may want to consider mindfulness-based interventions, dance movement therapy or other body-centred approaches to psychotherapy. These methods use the entire body to enhance sensory, breath and movement awareness. Those factors can enhance overall self-awareness, which contributes to improvement of mental health through potential reorganization of the somatosensory cortex. Functional significance of the somatosensory cortex One of the amazing qualities of the somatosensory cortex is its pronounced plasticity - the ability to reorganize and enlarge with practice (or atrophy without practice). This plasticity is critical when we consider mindfulness-based interventions and dance movement therapy because, as mentioned above, through working directly with the body sensations and movement, we can modify the somatosensory cortex. Another important aspect is its numerous connections with other areas of the brain. In other words, the somatosensory cortex has a power to affect other brain regions, which in turn affect other regions, and so on. The brain is heavily interconnected and none of its parts acts in isolation. The somatosensory cortex receives information from the entire body, such that the left part of the cortex processes information from the right side of the body and vice versa. However, the proportion of the cortex devoted to a particular part of the body depends on its functional importance rather than its physical size. For example, a large proportion of the somatosensory cortex is devoted to our hands, and so just moving and feeling our hands might be an interesting option for dance therapy for those with restricted mobility. The somatosensory cortex mediates exteroception (touch, pressure, temperature, pain, etc.), proprioception (postural and movement information) and interoception (sensations inside the body, often related to the physiological body states, such as hunger and thirst), although its role in the interoceptive awareness is only partial. The somatosensory cortex and emotion A scent, a song or an image can suddenly bring a deeply buried and forgotten event to mind. Similarly, feeling a texture - like cashmere - against our skin, or moving our body in a certain way (such as doing a backbend, or rocking back and forth) can do the same and more. It can bring repressed memories to the surface, provoke emotional reactions, and create state shifts. This is one of the superpowers of mindfulness-based interventions and dance movement therapy. This response is mediated via the somatosensory cortex, just like emotional and cognitive reactions to a song are mediated via the auditory cortex, and reactions to scents are mediated via the olfactory cortex. Nevertheless, if the information stopped flowing at a purely sensory level (what we feel, hear, see, taste and smell), then a significant portion of the emotional and cognitive consequences would be lost.

[@foreverchained9070]

Fear actually can be a very good thing. If you put your fear on someone else this means you are a very seriously dangerous person and you will hurt someone very bad because of it. Also if it tells you to not go down a dark ally or go eith someone than listen to it because you eont love your way out of someone attacking you or someone else. Also think about how many people run or look away instead of helping someone in trouble that is being attacked or having everything stolen from them, probably their well being or life. Fear can be really good if you understand it. When you treat fear like its completely a negative thing. So dont be biased aginst fear. Basically do not fear, fear itself.

Love, fear, and mindfulness - involve deep truths of the Spirit. The speaker said herself, "we" cannot change the coding of bias, but suggests practice. I would add, notably, God in His mercy offers us a renewing of the mind. Here are a few relevant verses for reference, showing how perfect love overcomes all fear, and the distinction of mindfulness in God. I John Chapter 4 15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. 16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. Mindfulness I Corinthians Chapter 12 9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. 16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. See also Romans Chapter 8
