TEDx Talks
How teaching mindfulness to elementary school children can reduce violence and create peace in our communities, one bell at a time.
Scott Cameron is a public interest attorney, the founder of Families4peace, a husband, a father and a member of this community. It is these last two roles, and the great responsibility he feels as a result, that led him to start Families4peace in 2013, in the aftermath of the SandyHook Elementary school shootings. The great sadness, frustration, and anger from that day made him realize that he had to take action, that he needed to fully embrace his responsibilities as someone raising the next generation and as a community member, and F4P and the Mind Your Matter program were born.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx

My mom did this to me, but instead of using a bell, she used an animal sacrifice, in the middle of climaxing. Yup, she sent me an orgasm via the 3rd eye. I've been violated in every way possible. Of course, everyone just thinks I'm crazy.
Hi I found a place where there are lot of new meditation tips available online. All you have to do is type: "MindYoga4U" in Google. It will be very useful for you.
Can we at least admit that mindfulness doesn't work for everybody.
There are hundreds, or maybe thousands, of science behind the positive results of mindfulness and meditation. His guided meditation is just one example. There are many others. But it is a really useful tool for everyone.
I followed along. I didn't feel it. Should we ask the experts what type of internet connection is needed to transmit these "good vibes"?

So mindfulness is magic? Can we get the New Age BS out of meditation, yoga, and mindfulness? All of those disciplines are are good techniques but there's no magic involved.
Do you want to practice mindfulness? Just set aside some time every day to be courageously and honestly mindful of what you're feeling, it will help you deal with it and you'll move forward. Not magic, just good mental practice. While I'm far from being a Christian, and I don't want the ten commandments anywhere near public schools, I also don't want some New Age wanker teaching elementary school children that magic is real. What we want to teach children are scientifically based methodology for determining what's real, true, and right. For example TH Huxley said, what we claim to know or beleive should be founded on articulable scientific grounds. THAT will change the world!
Scott!! I sent my mom my good energy as what you suggested from this video. As soon as I ended watching the video, the phone rang. It was my MOM!!!! Incredible, thank u. It was such a beautiful feeling this wonderful power of mindfulness. She means the world to me ?
I chose the wrong person
LOL
These comments are disheartening. Mindfulness isn't a cult. Every person in the world of every religion (or lack thereof) can practice mindfulness. Just look it up in a dictionary, it has nothing to do with cults. Cults and religions brainwash people to hold power over them and get money from them, mindfulness is just a way to connect to yourself and your surroundings.
mindfulness is part of a cult?
LOL.
Read the bible much?
You are trying to get your religious cult beliefs into our schools. If you want to bring back the ten commandments I'm all for it but bringing in cult beliefs is pure evil and is leading our kids down a dangerous road.
In June 2016, I launched an online petition, with the hope of seeing the Mindfulness program removed from my child's public elementary school. With the petition, I also hope to see the Mindfulness program, MindUP program, etc. removed from all other applicable Canadian public schools.
