Mindfulness Meditation

Wilcome Ritvo: Mindfulness gets a bad rap because it's often explained in contexts that are not necessarily here at yale, by scientists. So maybe the best way to show people what this experience of mindfulness is like is to try it out. We're just using the breath as an anchor, as a sample element of our experience to focus on for the next few minutes. If you notice your mind wandering, even see if you accept it. Ah, my mind wandered. And then firmly, but gently, bringng your attention back to the physical sensation of the breath. It was kind of going off script? All right, why don't you walk as throughon.
