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,

Mindfulness definition
9:29
The mindfulness (sati) first time explained to the world by the Buddha. Read the four foundations of mindfulness sutta.
"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!
but Maynard, you already said "overthinking, overanalyzing seperates the body from the mind"
His clones are watching from the crowd
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.
Very accurate choice of technology. Perfect. Thank you!
9:45 This hits deep
This is actually very surprising for me. How did we turn into a society where people cannot be alone for 15 minutes without feeling uncomfortable ?
If is not describing, analyzing and remembering anything then what does paying attention mean?
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.
OMG I just thinking about making meatballs , while watching this video, and by the way, it's homework
i like the last part
A brick or a stool recommends the same timbre of faux canyon in the essence of time.
Lord Buddha discovered so, almost 2600 yrs ago. Happy its been reviewed now and researched for the betterment of the mankind.
This was nice.
In short dont try to be smart; brain doesnt want to be smart; it wants to be happy and lead a simple life.
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.
Thanks.
