0:00:08.053,0:00:12.364
Mindfulness could be everything,[br]like eating, walking or playing.

0:00:12.375,0:00:14.357
Everything could be mindfulness.

0:00:14.357,0:00:17.325
- When you do something,[br]you know you are doing it.

0:00:17.325,0:00:23.386
So whether you are walking, eating,[br]sitting, or even playing a video game,

0:00:23.386,0:00:27.154
you know what you are doing,[br]so your mind is not somewhere else.

0:00:27.154,0:00:31.275
When we share mindfulness[br]with children, they really enjoy it.

0:00:31.275,0:00:36.616
They see that the way are together[br]as a group of kids, has a real quality.

0:00:36.616,0:00:43.805
It is so important to have a living example[br]of people who live happily and peacefully

0:00:43.805,0:00:48.480
and to show live children like Jay,

0:00:48.480,0:00:53.155
who know how to speak[br]lovingly to other people

0:00:53.155,0:00:57.832
and to listen deeply, to really[br]hear what someone is saying

0:00:57.832,0:01:03.362
It is important for other kids[br]to see kids, families and adults

0:01:03.362,0:01:09.407
who live in a way that is awakened,[br]trying to really take care of themselves,

0:01:09.407,0:01:12.667
take care of each other,[br]take care of the earth,

0:01:12.667,0:01:14.873
to be kind to themselves,

0:01:14.873,0:01:19.428
and to everything that makes up[br]who we are, which is everything.

0:01:19.428,0:01:23.786
- Sometimes, if you are shouting[br]with your mother or father,

0:01:23.786,0:01:27.372
you could actually think[br]before you say something:

0:01:27.372,0:01:30.486
Would it be mindful or could it hurt them?

0:01:30.486,0:01:33.619
I think that is one of[br]the things I would learn.

0:01:33.619,0:01:39.250
Or at school for instance, if you breathe[br]or just sit down or take a walk

0:01:39.250,0:01:44.126
a few minutes before you have a test,[br]it really helps you.

0:01:45.761,0:01:47.540
The vase of water is our mind.

0:01:47.540,0:01:52.018
And the different colors of sand[br]are our thoughts and feelings.

0:01:52.018,0:01:55.650
What kinds of thoughts[br]do you have when waking up?

0:01:55.650,0:02:00.050
Pick a color of sand that feels[br]right for your feelings or thoughts.

0:02:05.031,0:02:10.507
This is how our minds are when we are[br]in a hurry, stressed, angry or upset.

0:02:10.507,0:02:13.619
Can you see things clearly in this state?

0:02:14.026,0:02:17.660
Let's breathe with the bell[br]and observe all the sand

0:02:17.660,0:02:21.018
as it slowly settles[br]to the bottom of the jar.

0:02:21.018,0:02:22.740
(Bell)

0:02:22.740,0:02:39.081
(Deep breathing)

0:02:41.018,0:02:43.997
This is what happens[br]to our minds when we meditate,

0:02:43.997,0:02:47.236
when we are mindful of[br]our body and of our breathing.

0:02:47.236,0:02:49.372
What is the water like now?

0:02:49.872,0:02:53.147
The thoughts and feelings[br]can still be there in our minds

0:02:53.147,0:02:55.426
but rest peacefully at the bottom,

0:02:55.426,0:02:59.033
because we know how to[br]return to our breathing to calm them.

0:02:59.033,0:03:03.001
- If people bully me,[br]I look into why they bully me.

0:03:03.831,0:03:06.401
Maybe they have their own suffering,

0:03:06.401,0:03:09.756
or they see something in me[br]that makes them suffer.

0:03:10.216,0:03:13.101
Or maybe their family has problems

0:03:13.101,0:03:17.562
and they want to do something[br]to make people unhappy,

0:03:17.562,0:03:19.900
to make themselves feel good.

0:03:19.900,0:03:22.790
We need to understand[br]why they do that.

0:03:22.790,0:03:27.089
- If we cannot do something to stop[br]what the other person is doing

0:03:27.089,0:03:30.815
we can at least take care[br]of what is happening in us.

0:03:30.815,0:03:34.092
So if we feel sad, angry or hurt,

0:03:34.092,0:03:37.519
we can know that[br]those feelings are there in us

0:03:37.519,0:03:42.104
and that those feelings are ok,[br]you are normal to have that feeling.

0:03:42.104,0:03:46.273
So we can know that we[br]need to be there for that feeling,

0:03:46.273,0:03:51.775
in the same way as we take care of[br]our younger brother when he is sad or upset.

0:03:51.775,0:03:57.430
The feeling in us is like our little brother[br]or sister that we need to take care of.

0:03:57.430,0:04:03.672
So they need a very lively[br]family, a community of people

0:04:03.672,0:04:08.957
that they can relate to and enjoy

0:04:09.460,0:04:16.157
And they need not only real people[br]but also superheroes and comics,

0:04:20.764,0:04:27.352
who can show in a very concrete way[br]how we can live and be peace in our daily life.

0:04:27.352,0:04:33.378
and how we can change the world[br]through how we are in each moment.

0:04:35.824,0:04:39.805
(laughing)

0:04:41.138,0:04:43.054
They didn't teach me how to float!

0:04:43.054,0:04:45.615
- Where is the part about floating?

0:04:45.615,0:04:46.563
(laughing)
