"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.

A simple 15 min guided meditation for beginners to gain clarity. 🌞 Join the 30-Day Yoga & Pilates Morning Challenge: https://bit.ly/30dayyogalates ✅FREE WEEKLY YOGA CLASSES http://bit.ly/ywkassandra Hi yogis, some of you have been requesting meditation tutorials so I'm offering you this very simple 15 minute meditation that is perfect for beginners! I'll go over the basics of meditating and then we will go right into it. The trick is to not obsess over clearing your mind! Don't worry about always being still, always being thought-free or meditating "perfectly". Simply sit and breathe, that's it! Over time the spaces between your thoughts will distance themselves but there's no need to rush or force it. Make sure you are sitting comfortably, either on a block or a few blankets. You can even sit on a chair if sitting on a floor doesn't work for you! I hope you enjoy this simple and straightforward guided meditation :) Music: https://www.bensound.com/royalty-free-music https://www.bensound.com/royalty-free-music/track/slow-motion Thanks for watching, Kassandra http://www.yogawithkassandra.com https://instagram.com/yoga_with_kassandra 📱 MY MOBILE APP 📱 Stream or download more than 900+ classes, use the in-app calendar to track and schedule classes, new exclusive challenges, classes and programs added every month ❤️ FREE TO DOWNLOAD ❤️ https://yogawithkassandra-members.com/ FREE YOGA CHALLENGES 🌞 30 day Morning Yoga Challenge http://bit.ly/morning30days 🌛 30 day Evening Yoga Challenge: http://bit.ly/bedtime30 🧘 7 day Yoga & Meditation Challenge: http://bit.ly/ywk7day 🤸 30 day Flexible Body, Flexible Mind Challenge: https://bit.ly/flexbodymind 🛍️ SHOP MY MERCHANDISE, BOOKS & ONLINE COURSES 🧘👉 https://bit.ly/ywkshop 🎓 STUDY WITH ME 🕉️ ONLINE TEACHER TRAININGS: https://bit.ly/yttcourses 🛒 SHOP MY AMAZON FAVORITES 🛍️ https://amzn.to/4kKJFMW ✅ SUBSCRIBE TO SUPPORT FREE YOGA ON THE INTERNET http://bit.ly/ywkassandra Yoga with Kassandra - Disclaimer Please consult with your physician before beginning any exercise program.

This meditation session is intended to help you more easily fall asleep, and also sleep more deeply and comfortably. Allow me to first guide you, then fade away as the soundscape helps to move you toward a deep, relaxing sleep. Wake up tomorrow feeling refreshed and ready for a new day. I recommend listening at night when going to bed, wearing comfortable headphones or earbuds. I just created a 12-page meditation guide that I want to be yours for free! Just visit my new website at http://www.mindfulpeacejourney.com and it's yours. I put a lot of work into it to make it a great resource for you, so I hope that you enjoy and find great benefit.
