1. I am so grateful for this woman. She has no idea who I am. I was able to overcome panic attacks thanks to mindfulness. I could find a new job and every day I listened to guided meditations recorded by her and Ron Siegel. hearing her voice now makes me remember all the process of heading to bus stop, taking the bus, being seated during 50 minutes (I usually listened to all the meditation on UCLA website), than arriving to my station walking a few blocks towards my job. Thank you, Diana.

2. having no boundaries on thoughts and at the same time leaving the thoughts weightless, in this 6 year old
   introduction Diana was showing by way of her movements a form of fear coming from the weight of wanting to do her best in her lecture, now being 6 years ago she may have grown past this part when giving lectures, I am not saying this was a good or bad lecture, I am just throwing up confetti and if some falls on the reader so be it.

3. Thank you. I also appreciate mindfulness meditation. ?

   With my meditation I've personally liked watching a lot of #sriavinashdotv recently.
   I find his Satsangs so heartwarming. ?❤️

4. I'm retired and now a kids yoga teacher : your teaching approach and knowledge are both excellent !! Loved it

5. Kids are present but not necessarily mindful.

6. Mindfulness is feminisation of problem-solving. It doesn't solve problems, it just makes you feel better about them.

   Would you rather:
   A) Have a flat tyre but meditate, mindfully, so you don't worry about being stuck?
   B) Have practical knowledge how to change the wheel of your car?

   Mindfulnes DOES NOT SOLVE PROBLEMS. It is impractical.

7. People are just amazing, we complain about anything and everything, no?

   Haha haha very amusing…

8. Would not this also be a wonderful part of fighting alcoholism and drug addiction?

9. thanks, beautiful presentation

10. "Mindfulness is the art of paying attention to the present moment"? So is anyone in that room paying attention to the liberal bullshit that's coming out of UCLA and how their students emerge as MINDLESS liberal zombies?

11. meow?

12. How should i talk to myself when there are negative thoughts and bad moods. How to approach on those things? Should i approach as "You"? or "I"?. Also on the positive things.
    Or the approach itself is wrong and only aware of those things is okay?

13. Regarding the experience of discomfort in bodily sensations during a mindfulness meditation: this is just so important – how many times during the day does your body try to tell you it is hungry or it is tired or it needs to go the bathroom and you either ignore it or even flat out tell it no. Many times this experience of discomfort during mindfulness meditation is you FINALLY are giving attention to your body that it has been begging you for! Mindfulness absolutely increases self care because we open a dialogue with our body messages and tend to these. Pay attention to those body discomfort messages and as you tend to yourself more you can start to experience more pleasurable happy messages from your body.

14. is there a way to add captions and translation? i would love to share this with other pple with diff language background.

15. SHe truly knows her stuff! How grateful I am to be able to learn under this wonderful teacher! If you ever get a chance to take her class at UCLA Hammer Museum, please do!

16. I am really missing the ucla mindfulness web link and podcast, hope their tech people get it correctly shortly. even this viewings have no volume.

17. Thanks for posting this.  

18. 25:04， 教呼吸，難道學生不會自己呼吸嗎？

19. I think I could be mindful and attentive in regards to most things, but study I am not so sure. Could I study mindfully? I don't think so.

20. I m new to mindfulness. Thank you for this excellent presentation.

21. My personal opinion is that Diana is not focused on this video, at least at the beginning. Anyway this video seems helpful.

22. Very much enjoyed this.  I fell asleep during the first meditation!  Diana Winston presented this 'lecture' without affectation and with sincerity.  The audience too played a good part. I tweeted the Mark Twain quote.  Thankyou.

23. Is it your voice on the free UCLA meditation downloads I have been using for the past 6 months? Its great to put a face to the soothing voice . I can explain what a benefit this has been to my life . thank you .

24. You might choose Mindfulness Therapy – it is one of the most effective CBT therapies available for overcoming depression and anxiety and for recovery from addictions.

25. Marvelous lecture. I would make just one modification. When she addressed the question about planning for the future, she said go ahead and plan for the future and then take a breath and come back into the present. I think it would be better to say, remain present WHILE you are planning for the future. Soon after this question, she addressed the question of thoughts during meditation in a beautiful way. In this way she actually implied the aforementioned.

26. very nice to do the mindfulness meditation here in Tamil Nadu, India. gives me more calm and peace.

27. At that time there were two bhikshus who were
    discussing the topic of the wind and a flag. One said, “The
    wind is moving.” The other said, “The flag is moving.”
    They argued incessantly. Hui Neng stepped forward and
    said, “The wind is not moving, nor is the flag. Your
    minds, Kind Sirs, are moving.” (Zen Master Huineng's Platform Sutra)

28. Praise and blame unmoved, looking at the courtyard's flowers bloom and fall.
    Come and go unattached, beholding the sky's clouds roll and unfold.

29. Loved the lecture. I'm so sorry for the "dislike" I hit it by mistake.

30. I have a grocery list of real life problems. As I try to deal with my many unavoidable problems, my mind is always in the "what if this happens" mode. I will employ evrything Diana has taught in this video and I believe it will help me to survive! Thank you!

31. Bravo! Excellent presentation and excellent mindfulness meditation. However, Diana Winston's audience was doing too much thinking. Hopefully, her audience continued using everything Diana taught them and finally "got it". I truly hope so.

32. I tried to like this video but for some reason my vote doesn't count… Am I doing something wrong or is there a trick to getting your vote to count?
