    I don’t know if this comment makes any difference, but this my first time to follow the series of lectures offered by the University. It’s indispensable, very important to those suffering or treating someone suffering of depression or anxiety. Where were you all these years! Thanks to the presenter and the broadcasting team. Thank you

    Spot on there, Stewie! I will watch this 2 or 3 more times.

    How is Mental Health made aware in education? Excellent video needs to be shared.
  • @sulafalfares
    The introductory video with the guy that changes was a great way to start the session! I am a university student preparing a mindfulness talk to high school students and I would like to use that video, where can I get it from?
  • @rgainsburg
    Excellent solution. And how fortunate that you should happen to have a friend who is an expert in knotting.

    @colloredbrothers There may be 'n' number of lectures and talks to explain the relation between the music and the mind and also there may be a 100 plus practical approaches to support it, but I feel that ultimately, it all comes down to Meditation - Calming down the mind is the main aspect of every technique. The music to achieve this remarkable state of mind, need to not necessarily be a musical instrument. Even the beat of the human heart is a sound that would calm the mind.

    Is there a "mini veterniary school for the public" too, or at least videos of dicussions like this but related to animals and issues that would concern a future veternarian as opposed to humans and future doctors? 
  • Beautiful... I really enjoy mindfulness meditation. 🧡 I've liked watching a bit of #sriavinashdotv myself recently with my mindfulness meditating. I find his mindfulness talks very heartwarming.

    @JuniperSprouts I was just watching another youtube video that might be beneficial to you. It is called 'The Psychology of Change' by Rob Williams regarding psych-k. It is about an hour but in the end he will give a demonstration and it seems to make a lot of sense. Hope this helps.

    @vigilhammer I fully agree, zazen meditation to me is the only way.
  • @colloredbrothers
    The basics of mindfulness will work to some extent but I feel that it's a bit superficial. If you realize yourself and understand that the mind is not a part of the person and you live your life in the present moment, you start to learn these things from self observation, because you can look at it from a neutral perspective and analyze your mind. I think adyashanti, eckhart tolle, krishnamurti, ramana maharshi, are the people to listen to if you want to get rid of all your wordly pains.

    I wonder, is mindfulness compatible with multitasking?
