mental health today we teach the
0:18
importance of inclusion and share why we

0:31
hello rob we got a great show today
0:33
don't we
0:34
we do uh learning new things is always
0:37
fun and today we are learning all about
0:40
meditation what it is
0:43
where it comes from
0:44
and of course some of our favorite tools
0:47
that we use right
0:50
when we do it
0:51
and i want to remind our audience if you
0:53
are turning in live we would love to put
0:55
your comments up on the screen so make
0:57
sure you comment
0:59
and we'll
1:00
put them on the screen i don't know
1:02
which direction we are all right so here
1:04
we go we're going to jump right in and i
1:06
think the best way to jump in rob is to
1:08
give a quick history about meditation
1:11
and mindfulness so let's do it
1:14
well it'll be as quick as i can make it
1:16
because this is definitely a
1:18
topic that spans back all the way
1:20
depending on who you ask to either 1500
1:22
bce in india or the third and sixth
1:25
century bc in china
1:28
now the interesting part here is that
1:29
unlike other scientific or other
1:32
historical topics we don't know who
1:34
invented the idea of meditation
1:37
mainly
1:38
because it's so different and widespread
1:40
throughout all parts of the world
1:43
now there's three major players so to
1:46
speak we can call them in this uh the
1:48
first one in india we have the buddha
1:52
also known as siddhartha gwatama in
1:54
sanskrit or siddhata gotama in pali
1:58
he was a prince who became a monk a sage
2:00
a philosopher and
2:02
a religious leader it's his teachings as
2:05
to where buddhism was founded
2:09
many people think because
2:11
of what the buddha created
2:14
it came from him
2:15
that is not the case that's farther from
2:18
the truth
2:19
the buddhist texts refer to different
2:21
practices of meditation and or
2:24
mindfulness
2:25
and the buddhists sought other
2:27
enlightened teachers to learn from so
2:29
you'll notice
2:30
as we go
2:31
a lot of things go off each other so
2:34
it's not one person saying i know it all
2:36
it's this is the group of people
2:39
that right learn
2:41
um
2:43
from him uh out of china we also have
2:46
lao zoo who a lot of people know from
2:48
his writings and books also known as lao
2:51
zee or lao zay
2:53
um his honor his title or i'm sorry his
2:57
name is essentially an honor because it
2:59
translates to old teacher old master so
3:02
he is the teacher or master of
3:05
chinese philosophy
3:07
he's accredited as the author of
3:10
a work of text that exemplifies his
3:12
thoughts and teachings founded under
3:14
taoism so we have buddhism now we have
3:17
taoism
3:18
and this one references meditative
3:20
practices and the wisdom of silence
3:23
so
3:24
um
3:26
one of the differences in meditations
3:28
you know i do guided you enjoy the music
3:30
there's a difference of somebody walking
3:33
you through it aka guided
3:35
or
3:36
here's some nice peaceful music why
3:38
don't you sit for a while and kind of
3:40
just
3:42
envelop so taoism would be the way
3:45
right there's a place for both yeah so
3:47
taoism would be the latter because
3:48
that's the the silence basically right
3:51
and buddhism you could say would be the
3:53
guided let me show you the steps right
3:56
now the last big one named dosho was a
3:59
japanese monk in the 7th century who
4:01
actually traveled to china and studied
4:03
buddhism under another master named sun
4:06
sang
4:07
and it was during this journey that he
4:09
learned all about zen
4:11
so
4:12
zen is more of the japanese so already
4:14
we can tell we've already hit three
4:16
countries india japan and
4:19
um china
4:21
and we already have three different ways
4:22
of doing it
4:24
so before i go to the next part really
4:25
quick i think the easiest way to break
4:27
it down is and unfortunately or
4:29
unfortunately because we as a culture
4:31
here we kind of just push it together
4:33
right it's important to kind of just uh
4:36
not disintegrate to
4:37
separate
4:38
the different too so buddhism really is
4:42
the knowing and learning and we'll talk
4:44
about people like the dalai lama later
4:46
who really goes into detail there
4:48
we have taoism which is kind of the
4:52
nature let's let's look around you and
4:54
let's appreciate there
4:56
from japan we have the process of zen
4:59
which this place didn't have an exact
5:01
definition but for me it's just kind of
5:03
peace
5:04
it's like another word for
5:06
able to
5:08
be
5:09
without that's being
5:11
yeah exactly no no no worry no baggage
5:14
no nothing it's just
5:16
there
5:17
so the really cool thing about this
5:18
website
5:19
it's called
5:20
positivepsychology.com is they kind of
5:22
broke down a timeline of dates
5:24
so i'm going to kind of go through some
5:26
of the big parts here so as i mentioned
5:27
before
5:28
5000 to 3500 bc was the oldest
5:31
documented evidence and it was actually
5:34
wall art in india but it was a
5:37
meditation so somebody
5:39
somewhere back
5:40
wrote a meditation on the wall in
5:43
obviously the language i believe it's
5:45
hindi right and that was the first
5:47
meditation ever so
5:50
from this some scientists actually say
5:52
neanderthal and and stuff like that they
5:55
might have had their own culture and
5:59
religion so to speak because a lot of
6:01
this stuff was so far back wow we jumped
6:04
to the fifth and sixth century and we
6:06
have the development of taoist china and
6:08
buddhist india so it took a little while
6:11
to get there but as we know obviously
6:13
you know whether it's judaism
6:15
christianity what have you you evolve as
6:17
you become and what you do today is
6:20
definitely not what you did
6:23
way way back when right right um 8th
6:26
century uh the expansion of japanese
6:28
buddhism meditation spreads into japan
6:31
so at that point
6:33
with people like dosha and others they
6:35
started bringing buddhism out of india
6:37
into
6:38
japan
6:40
um
6:41
in the 11th and 12th century it actually
6:43
went to islam and there's a concept
6:45
called dakar which is interpreted by
6:47
various meditative techniques but comes
6:49
in the central element of sufism
6:51
one of an old islam religion as well
6:55
so we're seeing as it goes through
6:57
how much it comes and not until 1936 did
7:01
it actually hit here
7:03
with science fully understanding what
7:06
meditation is now look at that word
7:08
there really quick
7:10
whereas before it was straight culture
7:12
and being
7:13
we
7:14
have to make it into
7:16
a science
7:18
we can't leave it at
7:20
there's no reason behind it just do it
7:23
we have to have a bunch of guys or women
7:25
who ever sit in the thing going
7:27
there's not a good point
7:30
you know so i just i had to throw that
7:32
out there because i thought that was
7:33
kind of interesting that the front part
7:34
gets here it turns into a science which
7:37
i'm sure we'll go into but
7:39
just keep in the back of your mind guys
7:40
as we talk because you'll know that you
7:42
know now the first time that a yogi his
7:46
name is maharashi mahesh he promotes
7:49
transcendental meditation and
7:51
i think i can actually jump into deepak
7:53
chopra really quick and talk that
7:55
because that's the deep
7:57
that's the trans state that's the
7:59
ability to literally and actually saw
8:01
this on history channel they actually
8:03
they took a brain scan of him
8:05
he can shut off his
8:07
his cortex basically
8:09
and the entire brain skin goes blue
8:12
meaning there's no movement
8:15
but he's awake
8:17
and this type of transcendental
8:18
meditation very hard only a select few
8:22
and i'm sure you've read on it as well
8:25
right a select few can hit this
8:28
but it's amazing to see how
8:31
you know flesh and blood person
8:33
can literally turn off their brain wow
8:36
yeah and just float basically well i you
8:40
know i i think i was telling you this
8:42
off camera um
8:44
your grandmother my mother actually did
8:47
tm transcendental meditation
8:50
way back when i was growing up and i
8:51
distinctly remember all of us kids
8:53
remember it was a big thing because you
8:55
would get your word your your mantra the
8:57
word that you would do and you were not
8:59
allowed to share it and i'm not sure
9:02
what the reasoning behind that was
9:04
but
9:05
boy did my mom have her mantra and she
9:08
was her word and to this day i have
9:11
always wondered what that word is and
9:13
i'm wondering rob
9:14
is it the word is it the sound what is
9:16
it about having that something that you
9:19
focus on or is it something like what we
9:20
do with breath work today you know
9:23
why that yeah i don't know because i you
9:25
know i i do the guided so for me whether
9:28
it's you know calm or interspace or
9:30
whoever
9:30
i do the one where you close your eyes
9:32
and you listen to the person just saying
9:34
imagine yourself on a mountain
9:37
i can't really pinpoint how it helps per
9:39
se
9:41
it could just be
9:43
listening to somebody right um
9:46
but i would say depending on who you are
9:50
you're probably going to find your thing
9:52
so
9:53
if it's a word a sound
9:56
a feeling you know a thing whatever
9:59
you're going to find it and i think part
10:02
of it is not actually really having to
10:04
explain it i think
10:05
if you were to explain it you would
10:07
probably lose the point of what you're
10:09
doing because
10:11
it becomes more of a oh here try this
10:13
and it's less of a
10:16
exactly one of the people that i follow
10:18
right now he calls it home base
10:20
and he calls it finding that home base
10:22
whether it's feeling the breath coming
10:24
in whether you feel it where you're
10:26
sitting finding your home base and
10:28
focusing it on that which is such a
10:30
modern concept right home base which i
10:33
find right
10:34
all by itself
10:36
so let's jump into some of these names
10:38
and some of these powerful people you
10:40
mentioned dalai lama already right
10:41
watching and perfect uh switch over
10:43
because the final part of my thing
10:45
really quick was in the 70s is when we
10:47
first started getting meditation as
10:48
research showing the effectiveness so
10:50
herbert benson in the 1970s proved that
10:54
meditation it works 79 your guy john
10:57
cabot zinn
10:59
opened one of the first centers and
11:01
continued on
11:02
work so not that long ago 1970 1980 was
11:06
when
11:06
you finally used it as something
11:09
but again and and when we got talked
11:11
about these people
11:13
and you know me i like i like to give
11:14
credit where it's due
11:16
it's not you know we're not to give all
11:18
to what we did here meditation goes back
11:21
before we were born it was back before
11:24
a lot of us were here and that's one
11:26
reason why i like when we're going to
11:28
talk about um the first guy being nick
11:32
vong
11:32
easy for you
11:34
butchered his name and of course the
11:36
dalai lama which we'll get into a minute
11:37
now nick i came across kind of accident
11:40
the other day i sent you one of his
11:41
videos right um
11:43
and the video i'm going to go over
11:44
because i watched it again today he did
11:47
some morning habits and it's actually
11:49
timing because we began doing some new
11:51
morning habits at home here mainly for
11:53
physical and mental as well but the the
11:57
reason why i
11:59
talk uh listening to these guys and
12:00
again nothing against the newer people i
12:02
know they're just as smart but for me
12:05
i feel more of a connection to the
12:06
original because they
12:11
they may not know it all but they feel
12:13
it all they do it all they're the ones
12:15
that will say
12:16
i could be wrong it may not work but
12:20
listen anyway because you're going to be
12:22
surprised at what you're going to
12:25
hear
12:26
hold on if you're just tuning in we're
12:28
talking all about meditation mindfulness
12:31
we're going way way way back with rob
12:33
with with where it all started and we're
12:35
moving towards now modern time which is
12:38
very exciting so if you have any
12:39
questions and you have any comments make
12:40
sure you put them in
12:42
the chat below all right go ahead
12:45
um
12:46
i can't tell what's backwards um okay so
12:49
the uh nick that i just found one of the
12:52
videos i watched was uh morning
12:54
morning happens
12:56
and a lot of them are things that
12:59
you may or may not do
13:01
but you may not understand the full just
13:03
behind it so one of them was simply
13:05
sitting and breathing
13:07
you get out of bed
13:08
you sit
13:09
you look around you kind of just
13:12
chill
13:13
right yeah you just be
13:15
um
13:16
and that one is one that you'll see
13:18
throughout many
13:19
meditation teachers books videos
13:21
whatever
13:22
it's just a matter of just sit and
13:24
either listen watch close your eyes
13:28
look at a picture whatever it is you
13:30
want to do and just kind of just just be
13:32
there and just do it and then the other
13:34
one that is so funny to me because it's
13:36
a chore that we do regularly but make
13:38
your bed he focuses on
13:40
making your bed now that one i know from
13:43
different things there's also the habit
13:44
forming books and stuff like that but
13:46
really it's the
13:48
training or tricking or retraining your
13:51
brain instead you did something first
13:53
thing
13:54
you have no reason to not keep it up now
13:56
one of the new habits we're doing here
13:58
is morning exercise so before we get to
14:00
work we hop in the
14:02
gym we do a video in the morning to get
14:04
our day
14:06
and that supposedly is supposed to get
14:08
your brain motivated
14:10
right
14:11
so
14:11
just doing
14:13
a simple chore of and it's not even you
14:16
know you're just straightening the
14:17
sheets up popping the pillows up just
14:19
making it look nice
14:21
that's all you're doing it takes all of
14:24
10 seconds
14:25
right
14:27
and there you go
14:28
um
14:29
so i was so i sent it to you i know you
14:31
liked him a lot so
14:33
on that video or anything else you
14:34
watched what what did you like off of
14:37
his
14:38
i really like the idea that there's a
14:40
routine i like the idea of being able to
14:43
set up things so that you have again
14:45
we've talked about this on every show we
14:47
like structure we like knowing what
14:49
we're doing next right and when you were
14:51
when you showed me and introduced me to
14:53
this gentleman that we cannot pronounce
14:54
his last name i said to you at the time
14:56
i said oh my gosh i have been reading
14:59
i've read this book multiple times in
15:01
fact i've had hal elrod on my show oh we
15:05
got a comment here i'm going to put it
15:06
up in a second i i've had hal on my show
15:08
and it's called the miracle morning and
15:10
it's very similar to what nick does he
15:13
talks about the savers that there are
15:15
six things that you should do every
15:17
morning when you get up and the biggest
15:19
challenge what i think is so funny about
15:21
people is oh my god i have to wake up
15:22
early and you know for me i'm up at four
15:25
but it's similar you know it's the
15:27
breathing it's the being it's the
15:29
gentleman
15:30
because
15:31
what i learned from him was you really
15:32
don't have to get up too much earlier
15:34
necessarily it's just getting yourself
15:37
five or ten minutes to to do the thing
15:41
um and i was actually reading her
15:42
comment while you were talking um
15:45
and yeah i actually i didn't even think
15:46
i because i remember the movie i
15:48
remember all that stuff but you're right
15:49
this is actually a good example um of
15:53
going to the source
15:55
and learning and
15:56
it's funny because i told you the
15:58
important thing for me was to really get
16:00
people to know that it's not a thing
16:02
it's a lifestyle like people do this
16:05
as part of living right i think i'll
16:08
jump into dalai lama because
16:10
who better so i have a couple of books
16:12
that that i've done but this one was was
16:13
one of my favorites that i'm kind of
16:15
halfway through but it's a great book uh
16:18
howard cutler the guy who interviewed
16:20
him got to literally sit down with him i
16:22
think for a month that dalai lama
16:24
happened to be on one of his tours in in
16:26
america here um trying to think when did
16:29
they write this i don't think this was
16:30
actually that old
16:34
and which
16:35
this one number 14 you said uh dalai
16:38
lama number 14. um so this was
16:42
oh actually okay the first hardcover was
16:44
actually 1998 so actually this was a
16:46
little while ago okay so my bad so this
16:49
was interesting so um
16:51
what i liked about this one was
16:53
is he got real with the answers to the
16:55
questions he got literally he made jokes
16:58
to this guy about how silly
17:00
americans answer to these such simple
17:03
things and there are questions here like
17:05
for instance uh howard says you know
17:07
what's happiness whatever and the dalai
17:10
lama just says you know i don't know
17:12
what's happening is to you you know like
17:14
he gets so down to it any and really the
17:17
explanations he gives in here is
17:20
there's
17:22
no right or wrong answer beyond you know
17:24
being kind being good you know whatever
17:27
but when it comes down to why you're
17:29
doing what you're doing
17:31
that's kind of up to you that's that's
17:33
on you
17:34
and the funniest story and i think i
17:36
told you this was he walked to the mall
17:37
of america and you know one of the
17:39
biggest malls here and he walked on the
17:41
thing and he goes i want one of those
17:42
and i want one of those this is the
17:43
dalai lama talking goes on he got to the
17:45
end of the row he got out he goes eh i'm
17:48
good he left and he took off back to his
17:50
hotel and just whatever and it's the
17:52
funniest thing in the world because even
17:54
he who lives the idea of you know simple
17:58
you know minimal whatever
17:59
even he will go yeah of course i want
18:01
that stuff i want the gadgets i want the
18:04
stuff but then he goes
18:06
not really that's a minimalism thing
18:08
that's really jumping into minimalism
18:10
yeah and now my favorite book this one
18:12
beyond religion i actually did a book
18:14
club on this on my other uh station on
18:16
ultra universe live that we do episodes
18:18
here as well
18:19
um
18:20
this one okay and actually his real name
18:23
by the way that's right here his name is
18:24
tenzin gayatso his holiness the 14th
18:28
dalai lama so that's his full title okay
18:32
but this one's interesting so a lot of
18:34
the times and you know we don't want to
18:35
get too obviously
18:37
politically religious here but a lot of
18:39
times the issue at hand is which one do
18:42
we think is the the better calling to do
18:44
so now obviously for me i'm one of
18:47
thinking you know judaism christianity
18:48
muslim all kind of comes from the same
18:50
thing i'm that kind of believer that
18:52
everything comes out of it
18:53
what he goes is he goes to step beyond
18:56
he has no problem with who you are what
18:58
you do
18:59
his whole thing is don't use your
19:01
religion to
19:02
dictate your goal
19:04
use your humanity to dictate
19:07
and you can be
19:09
any sort of religion any sort of person
19:12
culture what have you
19:13
if you don't have the idea of kind
19:16
or good whatever it means to you again
19:18
kind good can mean anything right but he
19:20
goes beyond that and that's why i love
19:22
that book and i finished this one really
19:23
quick actually because it was that good
19:25
of a book um
19:27
but that's why i like the guy because
19:29
you would think somebody in that area
19:31
and you know obviously you know we i've
19:33
you know we've done temple i've been to
19:35
churches before a lot of times yes it is
19:37
very
19:39
you you you do the prayer you do the
19:41
stuff and you read and that's that's
19:42
your that's your your prayer session
19:45
but the dalai lama
19:48
brings meditation to the masses and says
19:52
you don't have to be religious like me
19:53
you don't have to take a vow of silence
19:55
like me
19:56
you can still be
19:59
you know right so
20:01
it's it's really cool guys it's really
20:03
it's it is really cool
20:05
i kind of want to jump into the more
20:07
modern people because we are believe it
20:09
or not we're running into the towards
20:11
the end and i don't we had a question
20:13
from dee who actually put this up did we
20:15
recommend what kind of meditations do we
20:17
recommend so as we get around to talking
20:20
about that i think one of the things
20:21
that's so fascinating is that you who
20:24
are younger than me
20:25
are really really into
20:27
um the more traditional the older you
20:31
know all of that kind of meditation and
20:33
mindfulness and i who clearly am older
20:36
um i am very much into the modern
20:39
meditations and what does that mean i
20:42
mean there are apps out there you've got
20:43
the calm app you've got insight timer
20:46
you've got headspace um you've got david
20:49
gandelman who has the meditation school
20:52
um you've got and you've got people that
20:54
are that are actually recognized as the
20:56
head like you had dalai lama and you had
20:59
deepak chopra so like uh tamara levitt
21:02
she is like this the the face behind
21:05
calm and i use the app rob you use
21:07
youtube right
21:09
yeah i find your channel on youtube i
21:11
use their uh
21:12
and the point being for everyone is that
21:14
you don't have to pay for this i mean
21:16
these are things that you can find on
21:18
youtube you can find on on music
21:20
channels it's they're everywhere i mean
21:22
you can pay for it and if it's something
21:23
that really really
21:25
speaks to you then obviously we
21:27
encourage you to go get that thing
21:29
that's that's going to work with you um
21:32
so
21:33
we're going to do a couple of of things
21:35
we're going to do a breathing exercise
21:37
because i want to answer these questions
21:38
so one of the things one of the ways you
21:40
can meditate is just simply by your
21:43
breath right
21:44
so why don't we do a sample of that rob
21:47
you want to do that i'm going to put you
21:48
on solo here okay
21:50
um so i do what's called box breathing
21:53
and you
21:55
as weird as it sounds and i still can't
21:56
tell you how what it means but you
21:58
pretend you are
22:00
in a box
22:01
um
22:02
so it's as simple as
22:05
breath in
22:07
breath out
22:10
breath in breath out and it signifies
22:14
the four sides
22:15
of a square or a box
22:18
and
22:19
the other one i like doing which is
22:20
harder to show you would need the visual
22:22
is the breathing bubble but it's the
22:24
same idea you breathe in you hold
22:27
you breathe out
22:28
but that's my example of doing an easy
22:30
one if you want something that takes all
22:32
of
22:34
two minutes three minutes
22:37
so for me i breath is is i like guided
22:40
meditations as well i do like music
22:42
meditations but i especially like the
22:44
guided meditations as well and um i like
22:47
the breathing guiding meditations
22:49
because i want somebody to count for me
22:52
i mean it becomes that basic right um
22:54
but i think the focusing on the counting
22:57
so when you're inhaling it for four
22:58
count holding it for four counts
23:01
exhaling for four counts and then
23:02
holding it for four counts there's also
23:04
breathing where you inhale first four
23:06
hold it for seven exhale for eight and
23:10
you know somebody asked me about well
23:11
how are you supposed to remember that
23:12
that's exactly the point you are focused
23:15
on those numbers as you're doing it so
23:18
whatever works for you guys i mean check
23:20
out any of these apps check out uh
23:22
youtube check out um
23:24
there's so many different things and
23:25
then there's also binaural so what is
23:28
binaural that is those are tones right
23:31
so from what i know what i've seen it's
23:34
similar to kind of a transcendental not
23:36
as deep but it's
23:39
your
23:39
[Music]
23:41
layman's speak tapping into your brain
23:44
waves to kind of get a sense of calm
23:47
basically
23:49
using yeah usually a sound or some sort
23:52
of
23:53
i don't know how to do without sounding
23:56
but you know some sort of motion
23:58
um but you're basically tapping into
24:01
your brain waves to get you to a state
24:05
that that makes perfect perfect sense
24:08
now is the only way to be mindful and
24:12
meditate is through sitting quietly and
24:14
doing that or are there other ways right
24:16
there are other ways no no no there are
24:18
other ways to get into it um and i want
24:21
to i happen to do something and i think
24:23
it's funny because you talked about zen
24:25
and so i do something called zentangle
24:27
now i am the least creative person that
24:30
i know personally however
24:33
i actually found this whole thing called
24:36
zentangle which i'll show you some
24:38
things um it is a way
24:41
to get into a zen mode when you do this
24:44
so you literally
24:46
create
24:48
beautiful pictures and you do it i'm not
24:50
an artist and i'm telling you this i'm
24:52
not an artist it's a pattern that i
24:53
learned how to do and i did it i first
24:56
do a breathing exercise and i did it i'm
24:58
just showing you some of these because i
25:00
want you to know that there are things
25:01
that you can do
25:03
that even you didn't know you could do i
25:06
mean
25:06
literally i'm not an artist
25:08
it could be as simple as doing some
25:10
flowers
25:11
and when you are focusing on this
25:14
when you are doing this
25:17
trust me
25:19
there's no way you can think about
25:20
anything else i'm just going to show you
25:22
a couple more
25:24
and these are all done with pen
25:28
because in zentangle there are no
25:30
mistakes
25:31
which is an interesting thing no matter
25:33
what you do there are no mistakes so we
25:36
encourage you go out and get some
25:37
colored pencils isn't that a beautiful
25:39
box these are all available on amazon
25:41
we're going to show you a list if you're
25:43
going to journal
25:45
i mean i must have a bazillion journals
25:47
because i'm weird that way
25:49
here is a gorgeous gorgeous journal it's
25:51
all in leather i have yet to use it
25:53
because i'm afraid to ruin it so it's
25:55
one of those things that sits on my
25:57
shelf
25:58
um
25:59
or go out and get yourself a little
26:00
binder this is a little dog binder you
26:02

26:07
a notebook whatever works create that
26:11

26:13
life whether it's going to be um the
26:15
