I have seen this talk 5-7 times and I have learn a lot from it! It motivates me with training for my mindfulness course and I also understand the practise and the science better! I have complete the mindfulness and really liked it! I have been more mindfull and I am able to listen better to other people when they talk to me and I also can enjoy listen to music better. I hear more things and I can more easy hear the lyrics. That is also when I enjoy live music. I was so enthusiastic that I also wrote a blog about my experience with the mindfulness course to inspire others to do it to!

Amazing speaker. Packed so much information and held my attention for the entire duration of the talk. Will surely search out more of him on UKposts

I practice anapanasati 1hr every day no excuses and have done since 2014, I don't have moods, see everything as it is, zero stress, brilliant way to be actually living and enjoying the moment I am in instead of worrying about the future or things from the past. Brilliant!

Mindfulness: Making a coffee takes about 2 -5 mins depending on the amount of water in the kettle. Set a timer for 12 mins and take all that time to make a cup of coffee. This is really difficult to achieve for two reasons. 1 The mind hates a vacuum and emptiness so will fill your awareness with thoughts or other things to do. 2 The mind is already habituated to making a hot drink, so you are already super good a making it, so much so you could probably make one in your sleep. Using all your senses to focus on every minutia, the cup, the spoon, and the kettle, the coffee, the water, the sugar, the milk. Filling the kettle, the sound of the water, the fluidity of the water, the smell of the water, the increasing weight of the kettle, lifting the kettle, placing on the element, switching it on, watching the kettle light up, listening to the sound of the water and steam as the water heats up inside the kettle. ... There are so many details that are overlooked when we make the coffee. But we need to be aware of them all during this time and notice where our hands and feet are and whether they are hot or cold. Noticing the texture and feel of the flooring under our feet, whether we are wearing socks or shoes. Noticing the outside noise or other noises such as the fridge. We carry on this practice as much as possible putting as much detail as possible into our experience. During this time you have become more conscious. During this time you have become more present and in the moment. During this time you have intentionally paid attention. During this time you have been mindful. Mindfulness is the ability and intention to pay attention in the present moment. Without the interruption of thoughts and feelings. This involves focus, curiosity and the attunement of our environment/mind via the senses. By using our senses we can stay mindful by being curious and focusing on the detail. We take the skills we have learnt above and apply them to everything we do. We keep curious and look for the detail in our life. We develop these into habits, routines mindsets and behaviours. This should be our default mindset and we should gently nudge the mind back when we notice ourselves daydreaming, bored, or falling asleep. Our mindset is now fixed on the present. We recall the past only if it supports us or if we can learn from it by analysis. We think about the future if we are planning something, else we are always in the moment. The present moment is all we have, it is where the rubber hits the road. The mind knows when we are not riding a bike likewise we know when we are not paying attention and not being mindful. Develop the intention to pay attention, live in the moment, and be curious and interested in every detail. let this become your mindset. Develop the habit of being mindful every minute of every day and let it change your life. BTW, You cannot become mindful by thinking into being. You have to practise it. It is a body and mind meta-experience that is brought into being by action.

The best mindfulness and anti anxiety’s talk I have heard❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Kind of brilliant. He makes these points seem so natural and almost self-evident. And his easy and...innocent?...presentation style makes it easy to take in. ---- The example of the sine wave....seems like a very nice depiction of the prominent role of trust in both religious and social practicalities.

After many failed attempts at mindfulness I realised it was impossible for me without doing therapy first. Five months into Schema therapy, I started feeling grounded and comfortable enough with my breath and my feelings to stay mindful for longer and longer stretches of time throughout the day. It's been the best experience of my life.

The potential application of this technique towards forgiveness is astounding. Very well given speech and I believe I received it at just the right time.

Mindfulness practice has tremendous potential for increasing well-being, overcoming emotional suffering and improving communication. Mindfulness meditation, when applied to the mind, where we learn how to meditate on our anxiety, fear, depression or anger is one of the most exciting recent developments in psychotherapy.

Excellent speech! So well presented. Enjoyed it a lot. Thank you very much Dr. Ron Siegel!

wow this was a really great speach, i have been involved with mindfulness for a few years now but this speech by dr. ron was one of the most clearest explanations of what go's on during mindfulness practice that i have seen. thank you dr. ron and thank you google

Be like the sun for grace and mercy. Be like the night to cover others' faults. Be like running water for generosity. Be like death for rage and anger. Be like the Earth for modesty. Appear as you are. Be as you appear. ~ Rumi

Mindfulness enabled me to become a human being in a civilisation rather than the rather bleak members of public in a society that this gentleman describes. I write loads about this transition

Thank you Dr. Ron Siegel!

incredibly moving lecture, Thank yo Dr Ron Seigel,and Google.

WOW. That was the best talk I’ve hear on mindfulness. Gives hope for someone with mental illness challenges. Thank you so much. So clear🙂

Grateful to you. A great talk🎉

“In your light I learn how to love. In your beauty, how to make poems. You dance inside my chest where no-one sees you, but sometimes I do, and that sight becomes this art.” ― Rumi Thank you so much Dr. Siegel It was great.

what a brilliant, brilliant talk. So precise, useful, and interesting. couldn't have hoped for a better introduction on this subject.

Great talk. We are thankful to you. May you have long , great life

Thanks very much Dr. Siegel. An excellent lecture.

Thank you Dr. Siegel.

Great talk, lifted my spirits a little from my depression. Will try to constantly think about my thoughts in this way throughout the day. I also discovered that a way to mentally visualize the distancing of your thoughts vs. being in your flow of thoughts is comparing it to showing a picture roll in full screen vs. looking at the pictures in normal screen.

This is the best lecture I've seen on this subject. Very well explained and relevant. Now off to Amazon to buy his book!

This is an unrivaled piece. I read a parallel book that played a pivotal role in my life. "A Life Unplugged: Reclaiming Reality in a Digital Age" by Theodore Blaze

Great talk. I first came across Ronald in the Psychotherapy Summit of Sounds True and loved his talk there. Thanks for sharing

THANKS YOU FOR SHARING WITH ME

Boy, all ll can add from the rest of the comments is I loved this talk tonite

Fantastic talk...really got more insight to mindfulness.. Thank you

I am interested in mindfulness and this lecture gave me a lot of information why it is important.

Top of the class at non-competitiveness.... (from the book spilling the beans)

Thank you for sharing!

Awareness of present moment with acceptance love it

The gap between high quality and low quality information on UKposts is astounding

Thank you, Dr! Gonna invest more effort in mindfulness meditation

Pretty great Talk, thanks for sharing. Dr. Siegel has a very practical and to the point way of talking and explaining. Also, the Fly video was very inspiring, dude reminded me of Samurai Jack.

The most ven Piyadassi there, when he was in Harward University , he has given lectures on mind and mindfulness meditation.

Great video. Great teacher.

Thank you so much. I liked the metaphor short video.

i love you Ron. thank you so much

Wow thanks google, this helped my life tremendously

Thank you for the video :)

In the quote Dr. Siegel used the Buddha talks about subduing fear and dread, not just looking at it and not resisting. It seems he has interpreted that quote based on his own preconceived notions about how meditation is supposed to be done.

Love this ❤

Very good explanation for Vipassana Meditation!! Love such imp talks..

I love this guy

Very interesting.

To Gigsand What do you mean you don’t have moods Seems to me that would be a rather flat way of living life, if you don’t have moods of joy, love, peace, gratitude, fulfillment.

Great conference

Awesome ❤🇲🇽🔥🙌

Thanks....

thx! !!!!!

Gooo Ron! )

Mindfulness is great , I don't question it ! My main concern is that every technique has a potential failure rate which obviously we strive to reduce. So are there any strategies to fall back to if this happens. Well many questions come up which I guess may only be addressed with application of this mindfulness technique. Any input ! Thanks

This is so hard to do -mindfulness practice.Hope it gets easier .Whirling Dervish mind 😞

i am a vipassana meditator. this talk makes a lot of sense. the doctors teaching this technique to patients should teach them free of costs as the real credit for this technique goes to siddartha gautama.

I'd recommend anyone who likes this to check out his great courses audiobook, honestly brilliant for furthering mindfulness practice and knowledge.

Now ... Adopting some mindfulness. Meditation... Motivation... Hard work... Isn't it all making us better workhorse of the future. Just a # dystopian outlook

Clicked cuz of the mustache lol Edit: This was so great!!! Thanks so much I learned a lot.

In the latest video on the Practical Health channel, it says that there are only 2 types of meditation practices - concentration meditation and mindfulness meditation. Basically, every time I focus on something, only on that object, I meditate. Is it really the case?

The sound of a fly buzzing makes me nuts!!!!

Depression can be from lack. It can be from abuses also. Being drained by abusive depleting relationships. Economic depression, out of control inflation and capitalism. Greed and corruption. Predatory lending and use/abuse. Life feels empty and dead because of isolation and social skills, re childhood and neglected from parents and teachers/church. Adults that do not pay attention to children's physical, emotional and social needs. Pay to play society. Interpersonal relationships and knowing thy self for self realization. Lack of the family clan and family values. Separation due to differing work schedules n a 24/7 society rather than sun to sun. capital greed and or the under educated working 2 or 3 jobs and no one is home. TV glamming or dummying down society and being feed lies and false narratives. News that is a drama show rather that true facts. ect ect

I was sent here by joe rogan, kyle kingsbury episode

Does one go from Mindfulness becomes Mindlessness ( no thought or alpha zone)?

Hey, are you an Alevi from Artvin city in Turkey?

How can I find the video with the samurai?

How about listing the names of every mindfulness practices in all cultures. Are or have they been taught to the general public or only to monks and nuns that have been stashed away from society and societies problems? Has to been in secret societies hoarded? Where have these practices been?

But, what if the only stress and anxiety l get is when l 'm forced to do mindfulness at school?

f IN INGENIUS we were not made to be HAPPY and how it was all survival instincts plus anger nnirritation stays longer for a survival mechanicsm THAT VIDEO OF THE FLY WAS INTENSE

Nice

Meditation PROPERLY taught is of immense benefit. Playing with it, which is what Dr Siegal is doing, may harm as many as it helps. I am more than a little suspicious of this whole 'mindfullness' movement, although I would love to be proved wrong.

Is the initial google guy from Manchester, because he certainly sounds like he is.

Is it me or does Dr. Seigel sound exactly like Casey Kasem?

Very interested in mindfulness and what it has to offer - especially this lecture, which was great. But sometimes I can't help think it sounds like a self-help tranquilizer for reality. If we are so laid back as to be completely horizontal, aren't we missing something in the human experience? Aren't there occasions where shit happens and it's actually not (or shouldn't be) OK to "be with it" or "ride it out"'? Granted we defer too much to our emotions (for very good evolutionary reasons), but doesn't it come close to a message of: ignorance is bliss? Open to all views...

I wonder whether wars in the 20th century promoted growth of amygdala's and passed down through to the subsequent generations.

Guru.

Wait did this guy star in Parks and Recre?

Being taken good care of vs not being taken good care of

Bottom line: Don't let you drive by the agendas of others

the flat tire day was many individual negative things, not just a flat tire. whereas the getting rear ended day was a day lacking all but the one negative part, getting your car bumped. so I think the examples are bad and do not show how tolerance works. tolerance is the moods of both day's two people switched around.

Boy this guy sure likes to talkie talk! Whew

I lost 100lbs practicing mindfulness

Emotional experiential avoidance is the cause of anxiety disorders. OK what is the root cause of emotional experiential avoidance? Can we say not being prepared/educated/exposure and can we include neglect and or abuses both physical and verbal? Bulling/parent neglect and abuse? Adults talking down to kids that do not have the mental development to adsorb all that is being dished out? What about stability and or nurturing affection and or interpersonal relationships between parents and children and or children and educators, exposure for natural social skills? ? What is it that children are not given the chance to discover who they are but rather herded all day and told to sit in a desk all day, not talk and be talked at and not spoken with in order to form communication skills? What about all these frustrations? When will education change from robotics to human personal development? When will schools provide for nutrition so kids can grow and function properly? Why does the schools and churches not teach life skills first before work skills? Do they teach work skills? Lets look at how we are developing humans/human minds and bodies rather than just why humans have negative systems. Look more deeply into the cause of negative systems. Anxiety and panic are the effects not the causes. Both environment and nurturing, exposure or the lack there of to have awareness of contrast along with the time and support to self discover.

This is the man who put crack on the street in the 80s

Teaching should be free to public ( Socrates) Do Good you get good (Plato) what goes round come round ( English Proverb) wait and see ( General Medicine) wait to the end ( philosophy open and see ( general surgery) Education must be free otherwise has no value if only few educated happy if all are happy no selfish attitude be compassionate
