By learning to watch your thoughts come and go during this practice, you can gain deeper insight into thinking altogether and into specific relationships among your thoughts and your emotions, sensations, and desires. This practice can also help you take your thoughts less personally, and not automatically believe them. Additionally, this meditation can offer insight into any habitual patterns of thinking and related reactions.. For more videos, subscribe to our channel.. Go to: fablefy.com.

Teens today need mindfulness more than ever to cope with the increasing demands they face each day. Mindfulness is something we can all use, from athletes to actors, adults, teens, and children, to be our best selves to be calm, resilient, strong and wise!. For an updated version of this video, see below Under Pressure 2018 version. I have added new interviews and a few more statistics. For more information and resources on mindfulness, go to www.2bpresent.com.
In this video, our classroom takes you through what being in the moment means. #Mindfulness is all about living in the moment. We live in an age of distraction and spend the better part of our lives planning over the future or ruminating over the past. Inadvertently, we pass on these skills to our children as well. I often hear my children speaking about some space in the future, making stories, building plans.. Yet, one of life’s sharpest paradoxes is that our “future” hinges on our ability to live in this very moment.. “We’re living in a world that contributes in a major way to mental fragmentation, disintegration, distraction, decoherence,” says Buddhist scholar B. Alan Wallace.. Life unfolds in the present and yet we let the present slip away like quick sand: unseized, unrelished and totally squandered in our worries about the future or in our quest to understand the past.. John Kabat Zinn says, “Ordinary thoughts course through our minds like a deafening waterfall”. And deafened we are: to the sound of the bird, to the falling rain, to the laughter of our child, to the thunder of the cloud, to the hello of a friend.. We course through life blinded by a future and yes, blind we are: to the beauty of the spring, to the flight of a bird, to the yellow in the flower, to the hopes in our child, you the mischief in that laughter… This moment is very powerful and Fablefy presents our sixth video in the series “Fly with Able and Fy”. It is our quest to bring the wonderous “moment” to you so that you can cultivate a sense of awareness in you.. This MOMENT just needs to be still and you can feel the silence within. All you need to do is “breath”… Follow us on: facebook.com/fablefy. twitter.com/fablefy. fablefy.com. pinterest.com/fablefy

Often when people think about mindfulness they imagine someone sitting on a cushion alone in a room with their eyes closed. Sometimes that IS what mindfulness practice looks like, and sitting with your eyes closed in this way has great benefits… but mindfulness is also so much more.. Mindfulness is a way to approach everyday life that makes living more enjoyable and less stressful.. You can apply mindfulness to everything you do, whether you are eating, walking, or sitting in class.. Mindfulness is a choice that you can make at any moment.. Mindfulness can help you better understand how you feel and what you are experiencing.. It is about being aware of the present moment, instead of replaying the past or worrying about the future.. Mindful awareness means being aware, with kindness.. It’s about being engaged in everyday life. Choosing to be nice to yourself and others in the present moment, and bringing an open awareness to all moments, whether those moments are pleasant, neutral, or maybe even unpleasant. Bringing to that awareness some curiosity and kindness, instead of judgement and criticism. You may be surprised at what you learn if you are curious and kind.. This does not mean that you need to be meditating. You just need to be paying attention on purpose, with a little friendliness.. This can help you with stress, or anxiety, or even sadness. It helps you focus on what is happening right now, because worrying about the future, or the past all the time can be exhausting.. Practicing paying attention, in a kind way, to little things, can help train your mind so you can develop more ease across your life. Anything can be levelled up with mindfulness.. Here are some examples of ways you can be mindful in everyday life.. Right now, you might be sitting in a chair watching this video on your phone – how heavy does your phone feel in your hand? What parts of your hand is the phone touching? Is your phone hot? Warm? Or maybe cool? Are you sitting down? What parts of your body are being supported by the chair? If you are standing can you feel which parts of your feet are connected to the ground, Or where you are placing the weight of your body on your feet? This is all mindfulness! Or maybe, when you are talking with someone, instead of listening to them so that you can give them a response, or answer them, listen with the goal of understanding them better. This is a little change that can make a big difference in a conversation.. The trick is not to automatically react to what you are paying attention to. Just notice what body sensations and emotions come up. Notice your reactions or judgement because there will be judgement, just try not to judge how judgmental you might be!. There is no right or wrong, just noticing what is happening in the moment – this can be noticing what is going on around you, or inside of you.. Let any and all things that you notice … be there.. You can practice this type of mindfulness anytime, anywhere, and under any circumstance. Simply be aware of what is happening in that moment. Like this moment; what are you noticing right now?
How Mindfulness Helps Cognitive Benefits. Research has shown that teaching kids mindfulness can impact their cognitive skills, particularly Emotional Benefits. Emotional health, or a positive sense of well-being, is an important component of every child’s life. Social Benefits.
Difficulty. As children grow older, mindfulness has increasing benefits, including: Reduced stress, anxiety and depression Greater attention span and ability to focus Improved ability to self-regulate behaviors Improved confidence in social situations Improved mental health and well-being. Mindfulness exercises are an extremely effective way to stop the anxiety symptoms in children that result (stomach aches, rapid breathing, fast heartbeat ect) and re-regulate blood pressure, breathing and heart rate. Studies show that the benefits of mindfulness for kids may include: 1. Increased focus, attention, self-control, classroom participation, compassion. 2.
Improved sleep habits – Mindfulness can help students put their minds at rest and get a better night’s sleep. Improved attention span – Practicing mindfulness on a regular basis can help students improve their attention span. This Reduced levels of anxiety – Learning to turn from negative.
According to research conducted by the University of California in conjunction with Mindful Schools, a program that aims to integrate mindfulness into classrooms, benefits of mindfulness practice for young children include: Improved focus. Improved grades. Decreased stress. When talking with adolescents, you could simply expand on the previous explanation and say that mindfulness is a basic life skill that can benefit us in many ways.
A popular way to put it is to say: mindfulness is about paying attention in a particular way – on purpose, in the present moment and without judgment. Research confirms that for children, mindfulness can: Mitigate the effects of bullying (Zhou, Liu, Niu, Sun, & Fan, 2016); Enhance focus in children with ADHD (Zhang et al., 2016); Reduce attention problems (Crescentini, Capurso, Furlan, & Fabbro, 2016); Improve mental health and wellbeing; Improve. Many of the benefits of mindfulness for children are the same as the benefits for adults, including: Improving physical health (e.g., reducing pain, lowering blood pressure, improving symptoms of conditions like psoriasis and fibromyalgia). When you practice mindfulness skills, you’re training your attention.
Practicing mindfulness can improve attention for just about everybody — including people who have ADHD, or who think they have trouble paying attention.
List of related literature:
The effectiveness of mindfulness training for children with ADHD and mindful parenting for their parents.
There is less research on the use of mindfulness in children and adolescents than in adults, but the research that does exist indicates that mindfulness techniques can be very useful for youths, albeit with a smaller effect size (Black et al. 2009).
Although the majority of mindfulness interventions have focused on adults, recent research has begun to examine the beneficial effects of mindfulness on at-risk children and adolescents.
Since those first classes in the Boys and Girls Club a decade ago, I have learned much more about mindfulness, education, psychology, how the human brain changes with mental training, and how to promote a healthy attunement between adults and children.
The attitude of mindfulness prevents adolescents from getting stuck in vicious cycles of catastrophic thinking central to the depressive experience or in personal battles centred on trying to find evidence for positive interpretations and against negative interpretations of situations.

Sitting calm in one place is not the only way to medidate. Any activity which we do at full concentration with no mind wandering is simply the medidation. There are few people who’s their work itself is a medidation. Creativity will be at finest.
some mislending in this video. exp:first, mindfulness is not only abt brain,its for whole body, interm of this, heart is far more important than brain. sec, the real meaning for present is not mean the period of time now occurring, present in mediatation is means free for psycology time.

Lucky you, i live in Italy, and here we will never have this thinks, we don’t have even enough professors or working wi-fii(just for the prof. to WORK). It will take a LOT of time for revolutionaly thinks like this to come, and, even if they will come, a lot of professors are piece of shit, and don’t care about us. Italy have an old society based a lot on the “Kalokagatias”(good and beuty),in my opinion. An asocial like me can’t survive the stress of the society, i can’t even be really myselfe with my classmatte. God save Italy, if it exist (sorry for bad english)
Good presentation, brief and to the point. As I understand the comments, it seems that some question if the presentation shows mind training or mindfulness. I would say that we must learn to walk before running. The mind training of meditation is only somewhat useful if we can not use the same concepts throughout the day. Mind training shows us how to more control our thoughts when not meditating and doing other tasks.
This is mind training. Mindfulness is just observing the mind activity as it is. The mind activity may consist of thoughts, emotions, insights, feelings, sense of breath etc. Observing them as they are and as they arise.One moment a thought may be apparent, then breath, then may be an insight, again breath may be apparent, then an expectation, an insight, breath, breath, compassion, etc. Just observing without trying to remove or breed is Mindfulness.
In my experience, mindfulness and meditation have been life changing. I recommend you read the book The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle, it is incredibly helpful for everyone but especially for people who suffer from mental illnessess such as depression and anxiety. Trust me(this book was recommeded to me by a doctor a few years ago), you won’t regret it. ❤
I agree there seems to be a confusion here, around what mindfulness actually is…. it’s certainly not controling the mind, but it’s a technique to help develop the optimum conditions for the mind to naturally settle itself and drop into stillness, and for the habits of the mind to be understood, how thought, emotion, desire, aversion and all the other phenomenon of the mind, and of being human, manifest themselves, so that with deep understanding we can start the journey towards ending our own suffering, and charting our own course through life, with insight and clarity….
is there anyway that i can share this video with a group of teens? i will be in a place without internet, so i was hoping to copy the embed code but that doesn’t work.
Insight timer app is best for MBSR etc. courses for free, I am not a advertiser but an ordinary guy who’s life is altered by mindfulness meditation. Thanks, video was really awesome.
Hey psych2go I have something to share… (*excuse the grammar mistakes*)
I live in Malaysia I’m 16 years old and I really hate myself. At school everyone keeps judging me because I walk weird ( I can’t walk properly since I was 12 and I don’t know why). I only have a few friends but they all don’t understand me even tho I shared them a video about introvert and social anxiety. There is no wonder because none of them knows English… I really hate Malaysia’s school system..I don’t go to school so often because I tried to avoid physical education, sport day and school activities… And you know I just got a second warning a couple weeks ago and I will be expel from school soon…
Sorry this took you so long to read.. So what do you think? Should I just go to another school after I get expel and do the same thing again?.
School in Malaysia start on January and I got second warning this month..if I get third or fourth warning I will be expel
This approach can be critiqued according to 2 different perspectives. 1. It is not trauma informed. As shown it works unless you have an entrenched trauma state, in which case it is not only impossible, but makes the traumatized person once again feel defeated and broken, contradicting “First. do no harm.” 2. As Janitha below comments, the way breath is used is mere mind training. The video is out of date because the newer neuroscience about Default Mode Networks adds to the understanding described as “brain spends much of it time solving future problems.” That same mind concludes it needs to make itself stop. The wisdom comes from understanding of BREATH. It is NOT observing breath; saying it that way does not reveal that the same undisciplined mind will take the advice to heart and observe the breath. This too is mind activity, and once one leaves the cushion, it stops the practice and returns to inner turmoil. The difficult step is to recognize the DMN and NOT displace it while maintaining attention and concentration. I invite you to take on the task of incorporating this info into a revised version of your video.
Do the people who made this not realize that teenagers who compare themselves to others usually have MORE mental health issues? Especially if they compare themselves to famous millionaires…
My science teacher does something called “Pause Practice”. I’m pretty sure it’s basically some sort of meditation. We spend 3-5 minutes focusing on noises, feeling, etc. as well as the present moment. It helps he has a super soothing voice. We’ve been doing it a bit less often lately cause school has been more hectic recently, but it’s always nice when it does happen every once in a while.
I finally got into Yoga and Meditation as part of my daily routines. Now it’s an important part of my schedule. Peace love and respect!
I’m an adult and I like a refresher course here and there. I try to remember 2 things: 1) Be in the moment and 2) Observe without judging.
Sitting calm in one place is not the only way to medidate. Any activity which we do at full concentration with no mind wandering is simply the medidation. There are few people who’s their work itself is a medidation. Creativity will be at finest.
Good video, but mindfulness doesn’t have to be in 15 minute increments. It can be incorporated into other aspects of your life. Just be here, now.
