The Dalai Lama and Lady Gaga encouraged American leaders to create peace, finding inner peace using mindfulness techniques.
New research from American University proposes that mindfulness can counteract the adverse impacts of mindless consumption due to automatic thoughts, habits, and unhealthy behavior patterns. In the article, Sonya A. Grier, Ph.D., M.B.A., explores the challenges associated with realizing the transformative potential of mindful consumption. "Consumers can engage in mindful consumption practices to potentially mitigate the adverse effects that mindless consumption, such as overeating and drinking, or frivolous shopping, has on an individual's well-being," said Grier. Mindfulness is a type of awareness that enables a trained mind to make deliberate choices and be less susceptible to persuasive messaging. For the untrained mind, objective awareness is regularly sidetracked by an abundance of memories, perceptions, thoughts, emotions, and judgements, resulting in the squandering of time, energy, and attention, which are all limited resources for consumers. "In a fast-paced world, mindful
To practice mindful consumption, Grier recommends developing awareness of what triggers unhealthy behavior or relationships, pay attention to the body’s reaction to the consumption of food or products, and to understand the impermanence of cravings.
The study also recommends being wary of underlying motives to spend money, of the value placed on material items, and of constructing a sense of identity based on material goods.
Few people have their finger on the pulse of American culture like hip-hop godfather and fashion-film mogul Russell Simmons.
A Ludington woman turned 105 today -- and what she's still able to do will absolutely astound you.
LUDINGTON, MICH. - If you ever reach the age of 105 years old, what will you hope to still be able to do?
A Ludington woman turned 105 today -- and what she's still able to do will absolutely astound you.
Her name is Lil Hansen and she was born on Nov. 30, 1911.
We first introduced you to her in the summer of 2015 when she was the ripe, young age of 103. She was teaching yoga then -- and she's still teaching yoga now.
She does it every week.
Just this morning, she taught a class to a group of people in their 70s and 80s. They could all be her children.
Have you ever had your heart race, palms become sweaty, or have difficulty focusing because you’re so nervous? These are some of the signs of anxiety. Anxiety can be debilitating for some people, and for others it might just amount to a few minutes of feeling nervous. Unfortunately, for some people when anxiety does hit, it can cause you to freeze and be unable to focus, respond, or engage in everyday tasks. For most people, anxiety is the result of thinking about something out of your control, or of something in the future. Jon Kabat-Zinn PhD, is the founder of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). According to Kabat-Zinn, mindfulness is “paying attention on purpose, in the present moment, and nonjudgmentally, to the unfolding of experience moment to moment.“ Regulate Your Breathing One of the most common physical reactions when people experience anxiety is that their breathing rate increases or minds race. Using the basis of mindfulness, and paying attention on purpose, notice
Telluride teachers Susie St. Onge and Siri Earthtree want to remind everybody to just keep breathing.
St. Onge said mindfulness is a “life skill in the 21st century,” and believes by offering classes for parents, it can be practiced at home, creating a better understanding of the program offered in school.
“Everybody needs it,” she said.
In kindergarten to third grade, students complete 12 sessions in eight classes over six weeks. At the middle and high school, students take mindfulness classes through the health and physical education courses. Mindfulness is also offered as a substitute to detention.
“Mindfulness taught my kids how to calm themselves down and gave them strategies to help cope with stress,” teacher Cyndi Jurkowski said. “I noticed it especially before we were going to take a test.”
Children practice breathing at a Baltimore elementary school, and fewer land in the principal’s office.
“The program seems to be working particularly well at Robert Coleman,” she said. “It is very powerful to hear students and teachers talk about positive effects, not only for the individual students but for the school community and climate as a whole.”
The effort at Coleman started about eight years ago with an after-school program. Thompson, the principal, said the power of the approach became clear to her one day when a child who was often in trouble for hitting her classmates and disrupting lessons walked into her office and shut the door.
“I just need five minutes,” she said.
As Thompson looked on with surprise, she said, the girl coached herself through breathing exercises. She told herself — speaking aloud — that she was not going to fight that day, she was not going to curse that day. She was 8 or 9 years old.
“I said, ‘There’s got to be something more to this,’ ” Thompson recalled.
The Holistic Life Foundation worked with the school to expand the program in 2014. Now there are weekly yoga classes and school days start with a recording over the public address system guiding students through breathing work, movement and meditation. It’s 15 minutes of mindfulness at the beginning of school and 15 minutes more when the day ends.
“It makes you calm down and have a great day,” said Jada Hinton, 6.
“I feel good,” said 6-year-old Kucaus Wright, who followed the guidance step-by-step on a recent morning, at times closing his eyes.
The Mindful Moment Room was another addition, a dedicated space to help students calm down, work on breathing and collect themselves. It provides 15 to 20 minutes out of the classroom to reset emotionally.
Students still get sent to the principal — 30 times last year — but not as often as they once did. For the past two years, there have been no suspensions at Coleman.

Job and workplace stress get to most of us: the American Institute of Stress reports they’re the biggest sources of stress among Americans. But we’ve all watched some people stay preternaturally calm in the face of a work crisis. They maintain remarkable composure, staying cool and calm no matter what.
What give some of our colleagues nerves of steel? There are many techniques, including mindfulness: this powerful, simple approach is extremely effective when it comes to handling the stresses at work. Recently, I had the pleasure of talking to Ora Nadrich, a fellow expert on mindfulness meditation. Nadrich has created a set of tips for coping with job and workplace stress in her book, ‘Says Who?: How One Simple Question Can Change the Way You Think Forever.’ These are tips that can work for anyone. Here’s what she had to say:
(via Heart health benefits of yoga)
More cardiologists are recognizing the benefits of yoga when it comes to improving the health of your heart. Yoga improves your heart rate, blood pressure, and increases lung capacity. It's a way for people to unwind and even relax. The American Heart Association says while it could help boost your heart health it doesn't count towards the 150 minutes of aerobic activity each week that's recommended. Dr. Michael Henderson is a cardiologist at St. David's Georgetown Hospital and Austin Heart. He stopped by Good Day to share more on why you may want to hit the mat.

Dr. Vijaypal Arya lost a dear friend, Priscilla White, who passed away from a massive heart attack. We are trying to raise awareness to help the family with funeral costs.
With midterm season in full swing and more than a month of class under our belts, many of us are stressed. How can we stay calm and focused? Ellen J. Langer, the Harvard Psychology department’s first female tenured professor, is an expert on mindfulness. We discussed how to channel creativity, handle stress, and rethink unhealthy assumptions.
Brain studies suggest that mindfulness meditation can help to control negative emotions, even in people who are not 'mindful' by nature.
Meditation appears to help tame emotions The participants were instructed to view the pictures either "mindfully" or "naturally." After this, they completed a questionnaire.
Results indicate that, whether the participants had high or low levels of natural mindfulness, the brain was able to control negative emotions to the same extent. Exposure to the meditation session appeared to help the emotional brain to recover quickly after seeing the photos, suggesting that meditation enabled participants to tame their negative emotions.
Some participants were also asked to view the images "mindfully," while others were not, but this did not appear to affect their ability to control emotions.
It would seem that meditation could be more helpful in achieving emotional control than just telling people to "be mindful," says Jason Moser, MSU associate professor of clinical psychology and co-author of the study.
Mindfulness + sleep = wellness
When it comes to the great pillars of health and wellbeing, getting a good night’ssleep is up there with healthy eating and regular exercise – and now mindfulness is increasingly being seen as the final piece of the puzzle.
Just as nutrition and fitness are intrinsically linked and work in synergy, so, too, do sleep and mindfulness. As well as contributing to our wellness as separate entities, they also work in a feedback loop: mindfulness can help us sleep better while good sleep can promote more mindful behaviour.
When people experience fear of public speaking, there is usually a set of beliefs or thoughts that underlies the fear. There's a tendency to catastrophize, imagining the absolute worst case scenario. We may also struggle with negative self-talk.
When we practice meditation, we can begin to see these thought patterns as simply that—thoughts. They are not facts. However, even though we may cognitively recognize that the thoughts are not based in reality, or simply not helpful, it’s difficult to let go of these thoughts.
In meditation practice, we train our mind to return to the “object of attention” such as the breath. Whenever we catch ourselves worrying, daydreaming, catastrophizing, imagining the worse case scenario, we gently return our attention back to the object of attention.
Eventually, the thoughts begin to lose its strong grip, and we can begin to disentangle our thoughts from reality.
