Part 2 - Week 3 of 13 – Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction – Life In Sim...

இந்த
YouTube channel லை வாழ வைக்கும் தெய்வங்களாகிய எல்லா
ஹீரோயின்களுக்கும், ஹீரோக்களுக்கும்
வணக்கம்.

We spoke about Mindfulness on Monday. Today I am going to talk on
Mindfulness based Stress Reduction.

Stress… Stress… Stress… What are our stresses?

No.1 Stress - Constant Self
Talk(running commentary)
Visualize yourself standing in front of the mirror, Watch your thoughts
for minute… List down those thoughts…
You and I know very well that what kind of thoughts do we get generally.
I am not good enough
I am a failure
I am fat, I am lein, I am black, I am lazy, so on and so forth.
The way I see it is, Like the Vikram vedha movie, Our vedhalam is our
mind. All of us have our running commentary in our end, Most of our
conversation happen is with our self. How can we make this Vedhalam as our
friend.

No. 2 Stress due to Media
Our main stream media and everyone around us are constantly injecting
Fear, Anxiety and Worry. Abdul kalam even said, we have too many negative
messages in our newspapers, media and social media as well.

No.3 Attention Economy
We are in attention economy. Everyone, Every apps, Every person wants
our attention. We are constantly bombarded with too many information.

What is the solution to the
problems?
We all go to Google for everything. I did my research HBR and Google. I
found a Video Mindfulness Meditation that was taught in Google office for all
google employees.

Speaker is Jon Kabat Zinn – Professor of Medicine. I found it very well.
If history remembers Jon for only one thing that will be for being the first
person to successfully bring meditation into mainstream medicine.


Jon Kabat-Zinn

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jon Kabat-Zinn (born Jon Kabat, June 5, 1944) is
an 
American professor
emeritus of medicine and the creator of the Stress Reduction Clinic and the
Center for Mindfulness in Medicine, Health Care, and Society at the 
University
of Massachusetts Medical School
. Kabat-Zinn was a
student of 
Zen Buddhist teachers such as Philip
Kapleau
Thich Nhat
Hanh
 and Seung Sahn and a founding member of 
Cambridge Zen Center. His practice of yoga and studies with Buddhist teachers led him to
integrate their teachings with scientific findings. He teaches 
mindfulness, which he says can help people cope with stress,
anxiety, pain, and illness. The stress reduction program created by
Kabat-Zinn, 
mindfulness-based stress reduction
(MBSR)
, is offered by medical centers, hospitals, and
health maintenance organizations.

Lessons learnt from the
Video

One of Jon’s favorite poems, by Derek Walcott, who is a Nobel laureate in literature, from the island of Saint Lucia,
Afro-Caribbean heritage. But this is a very short poem, so try to drink it in
in the same way as you were drinking in the breath, and the sounds in the room.

Love After Love.

The time will come
when, with elation,
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror,
and each will smile at the other's welcome

and say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was yourself.
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart
to yourself, to the stranger who has loved you
all your life, who you have ignored
for another, who knows you by heart.
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,
the photographs, the desperate notes,
peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit. Feast on your life.
