In March 2012, Shinzen Young & David Vago, Ph.D., conducted a study at Harvard Medical School on what happens in the brain with Shinzen's meditation techniques.
Taken from the 2011-2012 year-end retreat in Southern California, these recordings captured Shinzen speaking spontaneously about several topics. For more information on Shinzen's teachings: www.basicmindfulness.org
Shinzen guides people in meditation according to their preference of focus and/or the 'opportunities' arising within their experience (like pain, for example.) Shinzen employs his system of meditation known as "The 5 Ways."
These videos were shot during a retreat in Rancho Palos Verdes on April 4-10, 2011.
Some are Shinzen 'at the board' explaining his system & understanding of the spiritual path - through visual icons, some are Q&A sessions w/retreatants (not normally offerred publicly, and some are inspired Dharma Talks.
Enjoy the man, the mind, the methodologies - for making moment-to-moment matters more magical, miraculous....and sometimes maddening. :)

No, this is not 'dumbed down' - but possibly simplified and made easier (and maybe more entertaining) - but the teachings of Shinzen Young are the central theme and message.
These are videos that are also in other playlists, but that Steph has gathered here thinking they might be supportive or helpful for any teachers or meditation facilitators.
They are arranged in order of: 1. Description of Mindfulness & 5 Ways (including demonstration of guided meditation), 2. Common basic questions, 3. Questions of Subtler Aspects of the Practice, 4. Teaching interactively & about the teaching process, 5. Demonstration of Shinzen guiding for pain.
Hope these are helpful - and feedback is MOST welcome. Steph
