"Why is it that some people are more vulnerable to life's slings and arrows and others more resilient?" In this eye-opening talk, Richard Davidson discusses how mindfulness can improve well-being and outlines strategies to boost four components of a healthy mind: awareness, connection, insight, and purpose. Richard Davidson is researching how mindfulness changes the emotional life of our brains and what we know about people's brains of individuals showing more resilience than others. Davidson is Wiliam James and Vilas professor of psychology and psychiatry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison as well as founder and director of the Center for Healthy Minds. His research is focused on the neural bases of emotion and emotional style and methods to promote human flourishing, including meditation and related contemplative practices. #Neuroscience #Wellbeing #MentalHealth Richard Davidson is Research Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry and Founder & Director of the Center for Healthy Minds, University of Wisconsin-Madison.Davidson’s research is focused on the neural bases of emotion and emotional style and methods to promote human flourishing including meditation and related contemplative practices.

@mariapautassi4299منذ 3 سنوات 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 id="hidden3" class="buttons"> 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! ....وسعت 215

@alexandrugheorghe5610منذ 4 سنوات 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. id="hidden6" class="buttons"> 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. ....وسعت 788

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. ....وسعت 19

@mayTKمنذ 4 سنوات 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. ....وسعت 5

@jereargaمنذ 4 سنوات 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. ....وسعت 4

@aeyb701منذ 4 سنوات 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 id="hidden30" class="buttons"> 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. ....وسعت 20

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 !!!! ....وسعت
