About TEDx, x = independently organized event



In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.*

A very clear explanation.  Worth sharing to many.

It's worth watching the whole video, and participating in the exercise. Don't dismiss it without seeing what it has to offer.

[OBEY THEE]

This MINDFULNESS will make you a present-presence, and if you want to ENHANCE IT, put a SMILE on your face( keeping your tongue to the roof of your mouth ) and hold it throughout meditation.

Notice how it feels. We attract/create the BEST things/people in life when we're relaxed AND feeling good.

Notice, you attract/create CRAP when you think negative images and feel stressed(THIS IS WHAT TRULY CREATES PAIN & DISEASES IN YOUR PHYSICAL BODY).

Remember: I TOLD YOU SO.

[OBEY THEE]

Mindfulness: Meditate with a straight back(HIGHLY IMPORTANT). Put your tongue to the roof of your mouth, keep it there when you inhale via your nose and exhale thru your mouth.

The object is to focus on your breath, count EACH breath till you reach 10 than repeat.

Do this for 30min to 1hr a day.

[TheMindfulnessMovie]

Completely agree. This is a masterful example of what our film is seeking to promote. It's a movement that more people should exercise.
