Need to de-clutter, de-stress and unwind? Check out the Yoga Bear's step-by-step guide to beginner's meditation.

Considering we move through each day under the impression we are consciously aware of our thoughts and actions, how many times have you found yourself opening the fridge and forgetting what you were looking for?No,just me?

If not, can you honestly say that you are consciously aware of your thoughts and actions at all times?Didnt think so.

What does it mean to be 'mindful'? Simply put, we become more mindful by checking in with ourselves to see where our thoughts have gone, coming back to the physical sense of where we are sitting and what we are feeling.

Meditation can be done anywhere:on the bus, in the doctors waiting room, 5 minutes before an exam.Its not the length of time you spend, albeitthe longer the better, but the quality.

How do we do it? If you would like to dip your toe in the water, follow these steps:

Step1: Find your seat You can sit cross-legged, on the edge of some cushions or on a chair, making sure your back is well supported and your knees are bent at a right angle with feet touching the ground.

If your feet do not touch the ground, prop them up with some books or a footstool.Rest your palms on your thighs and tilt your pelvis forward slightly to ensure the lower back is not rounding.

You may find you need more cushion to sit on if you are on the floor or more support at your lower back if you are on a chair. Either close your eyes or, if youre sitting somewhere in public, pick a point to focus on and soften your gaze.

Step 2: Be awareof your physical presence Begin to notice each part of your body that is in contact with the floor or the chair.Your feet, your thighs, your 'sit-bones', your hands resting on your thighs.

Settle into this pose, feeling your hips heavy and rooted to the ground and the crown of your head extending towards the ceiling.

Step 3: Be awareof the external environment Start to notice the sounds around you - children playing, traffic, birds singing.Notice how the air feels. Observe all of these things but take an imaginary step back from them.Treat them as you would wallpaper in a room.You know its there but you no longer really see it.

Step 4: Bring awareness internally As you have stepped away from what is going on around you, begin to take stock of your thoughts.Where is your mind going right now?Are you caught up with the events of the week that has passed, the people who may have gotten on your nerves?

Or are you racing ahead to the future?The lists, the chores, all of the things you need to do, the places you need to be, the things you need to have.Try to watch each thought as if you were watching someone else think it.As if you were watching a movie with someone playing you and thinking your thoughts.

Step 5: Bring your focus to your breathing Without changing anything, become aware of how you are breathing.How is the breath entering your body?Where does it go when it is in there and how does it leave?Is it fast or slow?Deep or shallow?

Then begin to draw your breath down into the belly, lengthening the inhalation and the exhalation to really slow the breath down.Steps 1-4 are really the setup stages and shouldn't take very long.

Now we begin to meditate:

Start by counting each inhalation until you reach the number 10.Then start again.Do this for a little while

Then switch to count each exhalation until you reach the number 10. And then start again. Dont worry if you lose count or concentration.Just start again.

After a little while, let go of any focus and just see where your mind wanders off too.Again, dont get too concerned with what youre thinking about.Consider yourself a non-judgemental observer.

Following that, begin to bring your attention to where you feel the breath entering the body. This might be at the nostrils, the back of the throat, wherever it is for you, focus on that for the remainder of the session.

Step 6: Come back to the present Following these steps, begin to bring awareness again to the sounds around you, your physical presence and start to bring yourself slowly out of 'the zone.Sit for a while to let yourself settle before going about your day.

There are many methods of meditation.This particular version is calledThe Mindfulness of Breathing.It can be practiced for 5 minutes or 20 minutes or longer, depending on your level of practice.

If youre worried about getting lost in thought or losing track of time, dont.There are lots of Meditation Timer Apps available such asInsight Timerwhich allows you to set a specified time with interval chimes to indicate when to switch your focus and also offers free guided meditations so that you dont have to worry about remembering what comes next and just relax into following instructions.

Meditation is a tool in cultivating mindfulness and the benefits are great.

Not only does meditation help to bring focus and awareness to our thoughts and actions but also helps us observe the quality of those thoughts and do something about them if we dont like what we discover.

If you want to take things a little further, there are lots of short courses available nationally but remember, the responsibility lies with you.

Whats The Buzz NY - Mark Stephens Author , Hypnosis and Meditation Master - BlogTalkRadio

Headspace Co-Founder Andy Puddicombe joins Yahoo Finance Live to discuss the growth of guided meditation and the companys new Netflix series.

- Downloads for mobile mental health apps have surged during this pandemic as the COVID-19 pandemic takes a psychological toll on people. That has led to a boom in business for Headspace. Let's bring in the co-founder of Headspace, Andy Puddicombe. We should also note that he's also a former Buddhist monk.

Andy, let's talk about the growth that you have seen, though. Walk me through some of your numbers here. Early on in the pandemic, of course, there was a lot of attention on Headspace. Clearly you have sort of expanded beyond the app now.

ANDY PUDDICOMBE: Yeah, I think, you know, early on in the pandemic, I would say even if you go back and rewind to sort of March and April of last year, we saw downloads sort of double overnight. And a huge amount-- as you say, huge amount of attention, I think, recognition that it wasn't just physical sort of illness that people were in danger of.

A lot of people were struggling kind of with their mind. And we saw that extend sort of beyond just sort of the consumer base as well, right through into sort of B2B, for example, and business organizations looking at how they can better look after their team members when they're at home, often in very sort of challenging situations. So we've seen across the whole sort of business quite a big increase over the last 12 months or so.

- Yeah, there's no shortage of reasons here in the pandemic to focus in on mental health and really try and meditate. And obviously the benefits out there have been proven in certain studies. But when you think about the increasing competition, I was shocked to see one-- one, I guess, article looking at more than 2,500 apps launching since 2015 to focus in on the meditation space. What is it that you at Headspace do differently to maybe help people on that journey?

Story continues

ANDY PUDDICOMBE: Yeah, it's amazing. When we-- we started back in sort of 2010, and we launched the app in 2012. And at that time, there were-- there were no other meditation apps. And I know-- I hear there's over sort of 5,000 now. So you're right. A lot-- a lot of sort of attention in this space.

We-- we decided very early on to focus on two things, and that's authenticity and science. We feel that the-- you know, we didn't come up with these things. Meditation has been around for sort of 2 and 1/2, 3,000 years. And we look at that as R&D. And that's a lot of R&D.

And it works because it's sort of been-- you know, that authenticity has been sort of looked after over the years. So we try not to mess with that too much. But at the same time, we try and give it additional sort of credibility by sort of measuring the scientific benefits of meditation and mindfulness.

So we have over 75 sort of clinical trials in process. 25 are already completed and have been published. But for us, it's a really important thing, to try and bring together kind of that, as I say, that authentic sort of essence and mix it with sort of modern-day-- modern-day science.

- Yeah, it does feel like there has been a real shift in the way at least Americans look at meditation and how effective that is to-- to the way we live every day. You've already got a Netflix series out as well. Where do you see the business going from here? The app, as popular as it is, I imagine isn't where you plan to end Headspace.

ANDY PUDDICOMBE: [LAUGHS] Well, I mean, I think like all of these things. You know, like, our-- our vision was to improve-- we set out to improve the health and happiness of the world. It's something-- it's still our North Star. The app is obviously an integral part of that. It allows us to reach an incredible number of people around the world.

And the Netflix show is really exciting because I think, you know, when we first launched, people were like, really? Meditation on your phone? But isn't the phone stressful? And in the same way, when we launched on Netflix, it was like, really, meditation? Isn't that just-- you know, on an entertainment platform, how can that work?

And what we've discovered is that it's reached a huge number of people in the same way that when we launched on the phone, it was meeting people where they were. In the same way now, through Netflix, we're meeting people where they are. And we'll continue to do that.

I think where you'll probably see the biggest shift is within health care. So we have a big science and health team, and they're working to sort of integrate Headspace fully into sort of medical environments to ensure that we get to a stage where sort of meditation is democratized, where anyone can get access to it. And hopefully in the future, people will even have it paid for by their health care insurance.

- Yeah, I could see that happening. I mean, for someone like me, who maybe hasn't been attached to the meditation space-- we've had Deepak Chopra come on the show a number of times. He's personally tried to help. You know, there's obviously the apps, like Headspace out there. There's podcasts now. There's a lot of things.

For whatever reason, very difficult for me to get involved. But when it comes to maybe the surprises that you've seen since the space has grown, what has shocked you the most? Is it kind of the people who maybe hadn't focused in on meditation now being drawn into this? Is it the money that's now attached to this space and investors finally embracing meditation for what it can be? What, to you, as the founder of Headspace, stands out?

ANDY PUDDICOMBE: It's a great question. I think the efficacy hasn't surprised me. I'm really happy to see the science kind of catch up and to prove that there are kind of very real benefits. I think the surprise is more the-- sort of the background. It's the-- it's not just meditation.

For me, this is about kind of the health of the mind. And it's sort of the health of the mind catching up with the health of the body. We've had decades where we've talked about how important it is to look after the body. And yet we've kind of ignored how important it is to actually be happy internally, regardless of how healthy we are on the outside.

So I think it's that commentary and seeing it's more sort of socially acceptable now for people to talk about their internal struggles, to have permission, maybe, to talk about struggling with sleep, or feeling anxious, or feeling stressed. And I feel like that's the starting point. Unless we can talk about those things as a society, as a community, then nothing really changes. So that's the thing that kind of makes me happiest. And-- and hopefully that will-- that's a trend that will continue on.

- And Andy, you said earlier about integrating Headspace into the medical space. What exactly does that integration look like? What are some of the conversations you're having around that?

ANDY PUDDICOMBE: Yeah, so right now, for example, in fact, a good number of referrals come from doctors or from therapists. The difference is that right now, sort of consumers pay direct for that. I think in the future-- and we're already kind of partnering with some-- some large health insurance companies.

But in the future, I think there's the potential for that to be covered by your health insurance, but also to have it part of a system of care. So we've worked with-- we've chatted with hospitals about when patients go in for surgery, for example. How could we best prepare a patient for surgery in reducing anxiety, in making sure they feel better prepared?

Likewise, on the other side of that, when they're recovering, how do we help to create the most conducive conditions for recovery? So, you know, it's an interesting space, right? You're lying there in hospital. You actually can't do a huge amount, and it's very easy to just look for distraction, when actually we could use that time to actually improve the-- not only the health of the mind, but actually to increase the speed of recovery in the body as well.

Global Meditation Singing Bowl Professional Survey 2020 by Manufacturers, Regions, Types and Applications, Forecast to 2026 - KSU | The Sentinel...

Can you guess what every womans worst nightmare is?

Promising Young Woman follows Cassandra, who has dropped out of medical school and is now working in a coffee shop and living with her parents. She is also still navigating the traumatic experiences of some specific events that took place during her time in medical school.

This is an absolute firecracker of a film. Director Emerald Fennell and actressCarey Mulligan have crafted a blistering, terrifying tour-de-force that examines every inch and crevice of feminine rage. What happens when a woman finally has enough? What happens when a woman is subjected to too much abuse and mental turmoil? The answer might surprise you, but it shouldnt. Many might call the lengths that Mulligans character Cassandra goes in this film unrealistic, but I could only watch in awe at all the things she did here in subdued agreement. The trailers for this film led me to believe that this was about something else in terms of the reasoning behind Cassandras warpath of rage. Theres a nice level of subversion of expectation when its revealed what exactly Mulligan is doing, why she is doing it and who she is doing it for. I wont spoil anything so you can learn for yourself what lies beyond any initial trappings you may have about this film.

One of the best things this film does is that it does not try to mount a smear campaign against all men. Fennell is smart enough to navigate around this very broad sentiment, even if the men in the film certainly might warrant this response. Fennells screenplay and direction are top notch its almost unbelievable this is her directorial debut. She has such an immensely strong vision and her screenplay only further helps to sell everything shes saying here. Her grasp on her creation is astonishing. I cannot wait to see what she will do next, and until then, I will be waiting with baited breath.

Carey Mulligan is a performer Ive long been enamored with dueto her ability to kill just about any role, but her performance here might just be her very best. Shes so insanely capable of curating a stunning array of emotions in mere minutes, that Id dare to call it dangerous at how fast I sided with her. I was the literal embodiment of Lucille Bluth saying Good for her.

What I find most interesting about the film is it has familiar beats you might find in other revenge films, but this one focuses more on the grief that follows afterwards and how that grief can affect the ones around you who may not even be directly harmed. Fennell understands this thoroughly and uses this to her utmost advantage in telling her story.

I havent seen a film quite like Promising Young Woman in a long time. Each time I thought I pinpointed where I believed the film to be going, it took a whole new, unexpected turn. This is most notable in that absolutely insane ending. I just stared at the screen, mouth agape and audibly said, Ohoh shit! It was a bold move going the route it took, but it payed off in spades. Its absolutely shocking, but I was utterly transfixed, much like with the rest of the film. The film has a distinctive, visual style to boot that features some of my favorite cinematography of the last year. A moment near the end involving sunlight is like a painting, and the scene where Cassandra stands in the middle of a blue outline frame is stunning, then when Bo Burnhams character reaches down to kiss her slightly in and out of that blue frame is a damn near perfect biblical image. The framing and visual style of this film is so aesthetically pleasing in many ways.

2020 was a very strange year, especially in the world of film, but Promising Young Woman is so fantastic, so shocking and so unique it will absolutely be the film that defined 2020 for me. Believe the hype.

Grade: 4.5/5

Global Meditation Singing Bowl Market Size, Share and Revenue Strategy 2026 NeighborWebSJ - NeighborWebSJ

Has meditation become an intricate part of your life? Perhaps you have used it to get through a difficult time or witnessed its benefits on a wellness retreat. Whatever has brought you to focus on meditation, the best way to maximize your experience is to incorporate it into your everyday life. As this therapeutic process requires a place of peace, quiet, and solitude, creating a space in your home is a suitable place to start.

Find a Space

The first step to designing a meditation room is to select a space. Opt for a room or area in your home that is quiet and furthest from distractions. You can use a spare bedroom, the attic, basement, or section of your bedroom or home office for your meditation room.

Clear The Clutter

A cluttered space will always lead to a cluttered mind. Once youve decided where youll set up your meditation room, clear out the junk. Remove anything that doesnt serve a purpose in your meditation process. Donate things to charity, sell them online, and use the cash to pay for home decor and supplies. Then, clean the area from top to bottom.

Calming Paint Colors

At this point, your meditative space should be a blank canvas to personalize. Unless you like the idea of staring at white walls, youll want to select a paint color. As meditating requires you to get into a calm state, stick to soothing colors. Hues of light blue, green, and tan are popular in most spas and massage parlors.

Minimal Furniture

The more furniture you have in your meditation room, the harder it is to focus on the simplicities around you. Therefore, you should keep the furniture to a minimum. Remove furnishings from your meditation area. If you have hardwood or tile flooring, an area rug makes sitting on the floor more comfortable. You can also purchase a yoga mat and large pillows for added comfort and decor.

Elements of Nature

Adding elements of nature to the space helps to enhance your meditative experience. Start by allowing the natural light to shine through. Replace heavy dark-colored drapes with sheer curtains, shades, or blinds for better sunlight distribution. Place flowers and potted plants on side tables, shelves, or hang them near your window.

Soothing Music

The right music helps you transcend as you practice mindfulness meditation. Ensure that your room has a device for playing soothing tunes. You can opt for a smartphone with a speaker docking station, a turntable with Bluetooth capabilities, a laptop, or go old fashioned with a radio. Before starting your sessions, download some instrumental music or sounds of nature for easy listening.

Essential Oils

Scents set the tone and get the body in a relaxed state. While you could choose any of your favorite scented candles, charcoal soaps, aromatherapy diffusers, or incense, essential oils are popular. The scents are calming, and they also have other therapeutic benefits. Watch how your mood shifts when you smell vanilla, lavender, eucalyptus, peppermint, or chamomile.

Personalize With Decor

The final step to completing your meditation room is to personalize the space with some decor. Heres where you can let your creative juices flow. Just remember, less is more when it comes to filling the space. Too much going on can make it difficult to concentrate. You can hang frames with inspirational quotes or photos of nature. You might like to add a tabletop waterfall on a side table. Then, finish up with a few sculptures, figurines, or vases to add some color and style.

Meditation has been around for centuries. It is the process of achieving mental clarity and emotional balance through breathing and mindfulness. When practiced regularly, meditation releases stress, increases self-awareness, improves mood, and enhances creativity, productivity, and focus. Reap those benefits daily by creating a meditation room in your home. The above ideas will help you design a space that enhances your mind, body, and spirit.

A refreshing, beautifully made documentary set in a nursing home under suspicion of elder neglect, Maite Alberdis The Mole Agent begins with its tongue in cheek but grows quite moving by its end.

American Documentary is proud to announce the national broadcast premiere of POV alumnus Maite Alberdis (Tea Time; The Grown-ups) latest documentary The Mole Agent (El agente topo), premiering Monday, January 25, 2021 on PBS at 9:30 p.m. and at pov.org as part of the programs 33rd season. The film will also be available to stream for free at pov.org until February 8, 2021.

Named one of the Best Documentaries of 2020 by IndieWire and recently announced to be Chiles submission to the 93rd Academy Awards in the category of Best International Film, The Mole Agent follows 83-year-old Sergio Chamy who is sent as an undercover spy to a Chilean retirement home to track suspected elder abuse. Through the lens of the hidden camera in his decoy glasses, viewers watch as Sergio struggles to balance his assignment with his increasing involvement in the lives of several residents. Along the way, as he himself tires of the deception at the core of the story, the documentary becomes an honest and unexpected meditation on aging and human connection, all while disguised, at least superficially, as a playful noir spy movie.

Placing the nursing home and its varied residents at the heart of her latest documentary, Alberdi amplifies and pays due respect to the rich inner worlds of those members of society wrongfully categorized as burdens to their families and communities. Over the course of the Covid-19 pandemic, retirement homes have become hotbeds of infection. The documentary thereby humanizes a situation that has only become more dire since the start of the health crisis, providing a portal into a world largely hidden, by nature, from public view.

The Mole Agent takes viewers into the San Francisco Nursing Home through the perspective of Sergio, giving life to its long-term residents as captivating, heartwarming, and entertaining characters through Alberdis particular brand of documentary filmmaking. By employing strategies that bring viewers into more intimate connection with the plotline while also abiding by traditional techniques of non-fiction filmmaking, Alberdi allows her audience to become invested in the lives of the people on screen in a refreshing and ethically-sensitive way. The result is a novel form of documentary that pulls the audience into a moving tale only to reveal that, despite the too-good-to-not-be-scripted atmosphere, its been real life all along.

Through her careful directorial sleight-of-hand, Alberdi deftly explores the metrics of loneliness and isolation felt by societys most vulnerable demographic the elderly. An unexpected reflection on the nature of loss and human relationships, The Mole Agent reminds all of us of our collective responsibility towards our communities oldest members a commitment made all the more urgent in the context of todays global pandemic. Her latest project once again confirms Alberdi as an established innovator in the field of international documentary.

Maites films look and feel different from others. She uses a soft touch and an artists palette to bring us intimately into the lives and worlds of her protagonists. Her work goes beyond observational cinema to achieve the authenticity of that form, but with the composition of a well-styled fiction film, said Justine Nagan, Executive Producer of POV | Executive Director, American Documentary. She finds the sublime in the ordinary, and commonality in the exceptional. At POV, we were eager to partner on this new doc as Maite was pushing herself creatively to new heights. We couldnt wait to bring this beautiful work of cinematic art to American audiences on PBS.

I think that a documentary has to invite understanding, tolerance, and empathy. These can be generated or changed through cinema that allow viewers to connect to everyday experiences and bring us closer to worlds that we do not know, said director Maite Alberdi. I was interested in filming the elderly because theyre a group that allows us to build both universal and individual stories. Universal because we can all relate to different aspects of the story, and individual because the subjects whose stories are being told are affected by the difference in their age and the unique experiences that they then live. Sergio is willing to live a new life, meet new people, and listen. In his role as a detective inside a nursing home, he teaches us not to judge, nor to set limits, even when you are 85-years-old. He taught me to be open to experience without prejudice.

Already The Mole Agent has made its way onto several prestigious Best Documentary lists, including The Playlists The 20 Best Documentaries of 2020, and IndieWire and Hammer to Nails Best Documentaries of 2020. The film received the Audience Choice Prize at the Cinema Eye Honors, where lead Sergio Chamy was also recognized in The Unforgettables category and composer Vincent Van Warmerdam was nominated for Outstanding Achievement in Original Music Score. The Mole Agent secured a position in the Winners Circle at last years edition of DOC NYC, landed on the IDA Documentary Awards Features Shortlist, and won the The City of Donostia / San Sebastian Audience Award for Best European Film in 2020.
