Today the Universe ( through Youtube recommendations :) brought me this TED talk that got my attention.
I watched it and I liked it so much that I immediately thought: "I need to share this with my Steemian fellows"
As I struggle with a scattered mind and as I've have been trying all kinds of meditation practices along the years, I've found Shauna's presentation uplifting and inspirational, and practical too.
I've resonated a lot with her story about her first try at the mindfulness meditation in a monastery in Thailand! The frustration, impatience and judgement she was experiencing while trying to keep her attention on her breathing, I felt all of that when I first tried to meditate.
The highlights of this video for me are:
- mindfulness is practicing attention with kindness
- what you practice grows stronger
You practice judgement, you become more judgemental, you practice kindness, you develop a kind view towards yourself and the world around you. It's so simple, yet so powerful!
Anyways, it's better if you watch it, it's only 13'45''.
