Paying Attention & Mindfulness | Sam Chase | TEDxNYU



TEDx Talks

Sam Chase asks you to pay attention during his opening talk at TEDxNYU, deftly exploring what it means to be truly mindful and how every one of us can incorporate the practice into our lives. Sam Chase designs and delivers
programs in mindfulness, yoga and
resilience for organizations nationwide.

He specializes in working with communities that serve in high-stress circumstances. He has developed programs for world leaders at the United Nations, service members in the National Guard, medical students at Columbia University, educators at the New York City Department of Education, and the over 1000 yoga teachers he has
trained throughout the last decade.

His role as an interpreter and bridge builder in the conversation between

Eastern contemplative traditions and Western scientific research led to the 2015 publication of the book Yoga & The Pursuit of Happiness, a down-to-earth guide to the philosophy and science behind yoga and meditation.

Sam holds a master’s degree from
Harvard, and certificates in Yoga and
in Positive Psychology from Kripalu,
where he currently serves as the Lead Facilitator for RISE, Kripalu’s evidence based resilience training program. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

  1. "Mindfulness is not a mystical way of being, you don't have to be a monk or a millionaire. Very simply, mindfulness is the practice of paying attention to the present moment, on purpose, with an attitude of non judgment." (9:20).
    good speech!

  2. I like meditation and understand and believe in its benefits. I watched this video to motivate myself more to stick to it but it actually put me away from the practice. I find the presenter off-putting and insecure, preachy, and full of himself. His data unbacked and his conclusions definitive.

  3. Hello sir, m doing meditation from last 10 weeks about 15 minutes in 2 sessions each day, my mind wanders a lot, past life events disturbs me a lot, plz tell how much time meditation takes to show it's impact. I know I need to have patience but still I want to know. Plz suggest.

  4. I recommend trying mindfulness meditation for helping with stress and anxiety, it has certainly helped me. There is a lot of research backing it up. The studies show that mindfulness reduces stress, anxiety, depression, makes you more happy, present, and deal with everyday situations better. The prefrontal cortex and hippo-campus (focus and memory) become thicker and denser, the amygdala (which is associated with fear and anxiety) shrinks.
