1
00:00:08,053 --> 00:00:12,364
Mindfulness could be everything,
like eating, walking or playing.

2
00:00:12,375 --> 00:00:14,357
Everything could be mindfulness.

3
00:00:14,357 --> 00:00:17,325
- When you do something,
you know you are doing it.

4
00:00:17,325 --> 00:00:23,386
So whether you are walking, eating,
sitting, or even playing a video game,

5
00:00:23,386 --> 00:00:27,154
you know what you are doing,
so your mind is not somewhere else.

6
00:00:27,154 --> 00:00:31,275
When we share mindfulness
with children, they really enjoy it.

7
00:00:31,275 --> 00:00:36,616
They see that the way are together
as a group of kids, has a real quality.

8
00:00:36,616 --> 00:00:43,805
It is so important to have a living example
of people who live happily and peacefully

9
00:00:43,805 --> 00:00:48,480
and to show live children like Jay,

10
00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:53,155
who know how to speak
lovingly to other people

11
00:00:53,155 --> 00:00:57,832
and to listen deeply, to really
hear what someone is saying

12
00:00:57,832 --> 00:01:03,362
It is important for other kids
to see kids, families and adults

13
00:01:03,362 --> 00:01:09,407
who live in a way that is awakened,
trying to really take care of themselves,

14
00:01:09,407 --> 00:01:12,667
take care of each other,
take care of the earth,

15
00:01:12,667 --> 00:01:14,873
to be kind to themselves,

16
00:01:14,873 --> 00:01:19,428
and to everything that makes up
who we are, which is everything.

17
00:01:19,428 --> 00:01:23,786
- Sometimes, if you are shouting
with your mother or father,

18
00:01:23,786 --> 00:01:27,372
you could actually think
before you say something:

19
00:01:27,372 --> 00:01:30,486
Would it be mindful or could it hurt them?

20
00:01:30,486 --> 00:01:33,619
I think that is one of
the things I would learn.

21
00:01:33,619 --> 00:01:39,250
Or at school for instance, if you breathe
or just sit down or take a walk

22
00:01:39,250 --> 00:01:44,126
a few minutes before you have a test,
it really helps you.

23
00:01:45,761 --> 00:01:47,540
The vase of water is our mind.

24
00:01:47,540 --> 00:01:52,018
And the different colors of sand
are our thoughts and feelings.

25
00:01:52,018 --> 00:01:55,650
What kinds of thoughts
do you have when waking up?

26
00:01:55,650 --> 00:02:00,050
Pick a color of sand that feels
right for your feelings or thoughts.

27
00:02:05,031 --> 00:02:10,507
This is how our minds are when we are
in a hurry, stressed, angry or upset.

28
00:02:10,507 --> 00:02:13,619
Can you see things clearly in this state?

29
00:02:14,026 --> 00:02:17,660
Let's breathe with the bell
and observe all the sand

30
00:02:17,660 --> 00:02:21,018
as it slowly settles
to the bottom of the jar.

31
00:02:21,018 --> 00:02:22,740
(Bell)

32
00:02:22,740 --> 00:02:39,081
(Deep breathing)

33
00:02:41,018 --> 00:02:43,997
This is what happens
to our minds when we meditate,

34
00:02:43,997 --> 00:02:47,236
when we are mindful of
our body and of our breathing.

35
00:02:47,236 --> 00:02:49,372
What is the water like now?

36
00:02:49,872 --> 00:02:53,147
The thoughts and feelings
can still be there in our minds

37
00:02:53,147 --> 00:02:55,426
but rest peacefully at the bottom,

38
00:02:55,426 --> 00:02:59,033
because we know how to
return to our breathing to calm them.

39
00:02:59,033 --> 00:03:03,001
- If people bully me,
I look into why they bully me.

40
00:03:03,831 --> 00:03:06,401
Maybe they have their own suffering,

41
00:03:06,401 --> 00:03:09,756
or they see something in me
that makes them suffer.

42
00:03:10,216 --> 00:03:13,101
Or maybe their family has problems

43
00:03:13,101 --> 00:03:17,562
and they want to do something
to make people unhappy,

44
00:03:17,562 --> 00:03:19,900
to make themselves feel good.

45
00:03:19,900 --> 00:03:22,790
We need to understand
why they do that.

46
00:03:22,790 --> 00:03:27,089
- If we cannot do something to stop
what the other person is doing

47
00:03:27,089 --> 00:03:30,815
we can at least take care
of what is happening in us.

48
00:03:30,815 --> 00:03:34,092
So if we feel sad, angry or hurt,

49
00:03:34,092 --> 00:03:37,519
we can know that
those feelings are there in us

50
00:03:37,519 --> 00:03:42,104
and that those feelings are ok,
you are normal to have that feeling.

51
00:03:42,104 --> 00:03:46,273
So we can know that we
need to be there for that feeling,

52
00:03:46,273 --> 00:03:51,775
in the same way as we take care of
our younger brother when he is sad or upset.

53
00:03:51,775 --> 00:03:57,430
The feeling in us is like our little brother
or sister that we need to take care of.

54
00:03:57,430 --> 00:04:03,672
So they need a very lively
family, a community of people

55
00:04:03,672 --> 00:04:08,957
that they can relate to and enjoy

56
00:04:09,460 --> 00:04:16,157
And they need not only real people
but also superheroes and comics,

57
00:04:20,764 --> 00:04:27,352
who can show in a very concrete way
how we can live and be peace in our daily life.

58
00:04:27,352 --> 00:04:33,378
and how we can change the world
through how we are in each moment.

59
00:04:35,824 --> 00:04:39,805
(laughing)

60
00:04:41,138 --> 00:04:43,054
They didn't teach me how to float!

61
00:04:43,054 --> 00:04:45,615
- Where is the part about floating?

62
00:04:45,615 --> 00:04:46,563
(laughing)
