Why Meditation is the New Caffeine | Emily Fletcher | Talks at Google 

+Tim Ferguson you can't have your cake and eat it too. meditate on that "justification" you just typed out...sometimes too much words shows ignorance, no matter how you try to explain things.

Hee nice stupid comment.just short enough

To Tim Ferguson...some folk will just refuse to embrace anything other than a negative/cynical mindset. I've come to realize the need to call someone out of their name or speak as unkindly as possible about another just for gp is common amongst that kind of person. Go for what you feel is right for you and continue on any quest that you have embarked upon to help others in any way that you can - forget they nay-sayers. They're quite simply energy vampires and their primary source of sustenance is the various forms of negativity which the Western culture/society provides in abundance. They're literally gorged at this point and I guess their spewing is a sign that they haven't loosened their belts for relief. Peace to you all.

Look man, here is the thing. She can't have two objectives.

@@meetingplace7928 so right! If we want to bring that monastic depth of presence in this western modern world, then we need to pay and get paid for this kind of work

She's a scammer..

Evan Green how

That’s brilliant!! ❤

Thanks for sharing this

CAN YOU DO A TALK ON ALCOHOL ADDICTION, PLEASE!

@@ernawiget868 I was not addicted to alcohol 😆

0pp0pp

JamesScottGuitar true. And she is amazingly beautiful.

she is like a living Buddha..obviously walks her talk...i'd bet she meditates minimum 1 hour every day...

Love her laugh too quite contagious

A truly genuine laugh, contagious energy from that laugh

Moop Cow You'd expect a meditation expert to be than not only in theory but practice as well. She seems fidgety. I'm of course making a frivolous judgement due to knowing next to nothing about her but she does rub me the wrong way for some reason.

+l I agree, she *does* seem to be super-hyper and not cool, calm and collected at all. However, I did enjoy the presentation and it's nice to see that she's verifying that the benefits of different types of meditation can be the same.

Think about this: If you would be calm and collected in the first place, would you start practicing medidation and even teaching others? She might have found a way to help her relax, as she appears to be very energetic.

+Cedric Meury I've seen several of her videos now and she does laugh at herself about her laugh.

She seem to be more focused on the packaging of the message, then the actual message

people meditate for difference reasons. some are meditating to improve their academic performance. some because they want to improve their athletic performance. others are meditating to obtain health benefits. and some are pursuing enlightenment or mystical experiences, among other things. but if you think meditation is only about "digging it," (i.e., temporary feel good therapy) then you have a very narrow view of what meditation is and its potential applications.

Clark Cant You have too narrow of a view on meditation. P.S. not all meditation techniques feel good all the time. Some really push you out of your comfort zone.

True. It should be "one of the world's sexiest meditation guides"

Trannyman.

sorry to hear ,but check out with what you go to sleep.if we go to sleep with our problems ,or we can go to sleep with what we love.

This is a deceiver Trannyman.

The main thing is that she's selling something worth buying and backing it up with real science. See the research coming out of Dr Mark Williams lab at oxford on mindfulness meditation, Dr Alarik Arenander, Dr Tony Nader, Dr Richard Davidson., Dr Herbert Benson at harvard etc. It's all good stuff!

a nervous corporate slave

Olivier Imre quite the opposite. for me she came across as eloquent, energized, focused, and witty. she elaborated on key points and answered all questions without hesitation or any sign of nervousness. your half-baked evaluation of her behavior and performance says more about you than it does about her.

Every comment says a lot about the commenter. Yours says that you either like meditation very much or you are into milfs, or both.

Костя Зайцев meditation is fine. milfs are fine. but half baked, baboon-like evaluations that only consider one criteria as their means of classification - not fine. lol

I think you will eventually fall asleep anyway. My guess is that you probably can train to meditate in such a relaxing way you are in a midstate.

Neil Perry she didn’t say coffee was taboo just that meditation is better an$ she also said it can enhance meditation and that monks combine caffeine and meditation

I see your comment. I do not think you do meditation right. Besides, I don't think you have even watched the entire talk.

C&M T well the causes of many of health issues is due to stress. I'm just surprised at all the negative comments. don't like meditating then don't do it and stop questioning something that is great.

stress creates an acidic body chemistry. calm/joy/gratitude/love creates alkaline chemistry. Nothing questionable about it. Next you'll be questioning whether blood has a viscosity or not.........lol.

+gtileo "so they physically damage their body" Kind of arguable. And, overall, judgemental.

There's no actual damage proven from some of the major psychedelics, like psilocybin and ayahuasca. In fact much on the contrary.

GuaMaotama Buddha: First of all for those who believe she's doing this for the money Nope she already owns most of the people she lecturing if your in one of those companies then chances are you are already a part of the group and just needs to see if you got what it takes to take the partnership to a whole new open level, that's why she can laugh like that not only does it attracts attention for good or bad but keeps you engage which ultimately even if you find it annoying its a plus cause she got your attention she's in for this similar to what you liken as investors but only the community part. Still apparently tons of Russians are not susceptible for assimilation except thru media, film or entertainment. Don't know why but I highly doubt Trump can over come this reserve for the Russians. However she lacks the foundation on what real meditation really is, that's right folks the real power of the institution of the prime religions, First stuff is for high level meditation on the real scale No art involve 1.) very rare masters of breathing 2.) gifted physical yoga kung fu masters. Both of which are not relevant for normal people however the second aspect of meditation is Communal Social Education Nobody is immune to the institution of meditation because it is in this far superior than our bullshit system of Western Education where truly dumb people gets status which they do not deserve. Meditation is where master from all walks of the society the elders and builders if you will scrutinize individuals base on what skill level and position in society, Ancient Indian caste System before the White Man particularly the British scum came in is very meritorious, and even then the system despite being breed with white scum produced hybrids that are of high caliber and possibly even became integral if not overpowered the European Elite. The British language seem to have an Indian Slang to it. When you put everyone in a temple ground everybody conforms this is where the elders scrutinized individuals according to ability with two steps a.) Mantra and b.) body or scroll painting which was interpreted by its Buddhist neighbors as Calligraphy. Now I don't have to explain Mantra is aside from that it entails intelligence and leadership ability. Body or scroll painting translate to craftsmanship and when the two is combined it creates Engineering Prowess. That's right Chinese Communist Party reduce and limit the media sectors power of purse they need to stick to their people when it comes to mobile payment and not the rest of the population otherwise the 20,000 a year patent applications all over China instead of growing and later upgraded in quality with the mobile payment no one will bother innovating and applications will dwindle, In our next topic Warlords of China: The Foundations of Modern China! I still think you should stop laughing like that I laugh the way I do cause I have too, I can't breath deep enough while talking so I need to laugh still I don't have to put my nose to stop my breathing this is particularly long and can last for hours when done unconsciously sometimes when walk up it takes a couple of minutes for me to stop breathing thru one side of my nose. In our final topic why we age i can answer that with one sentence and a little bit of explanation but not much not my job basically meditation is simulating DREAMING MY DEAR!

the problem for me (with massive experience in both tripping and meditating) is that with psychedlics you tend to forget and lose the benefits quickly. mediation regularly is more like a walk in the morning mist, over time you are soaked in it. acid is more like a thunderstorm that goes away and you dry off.

You can't even die from taking too much LSD. You'll likely go insane (doses would have to be extremeeeeee), but you won't die. psyilocybin and DMT isn't harmful either, but ayahuasca is really unnecessary and actually damaging because you'll be purging out of both ends (yeah, don't do it. I'm speaking from experience, you don't need the ritual either). And DMT simply is the active ingredient in ayahuasca.

Please give the link to this statement... it has to be listed somewhere and does not come up in google search.

kterbo he doesn’t mean it literally lol.

pull her head out of her asana~

+Peace is possible TM, to me, looks at best like wildly overpriced charlatanism.

+rustyfo1 Then you should look more deeply...there are more than 700 studies on TM, published in the finest peer-reviewed journals, showing a wide range of significant benefits for mind, body, behavior and the environment. The American Heart Association did their own independent research and then announced that of all the meditation techniques they looked at, only TM significantly reduces high blood pressure. There are also meta-analyses of anxiety research, heart disease and drug/alcohol addictions, and they found TM to have an effect size twice as large as other techniques. The cost? It is a non-profit organization and a life-time of TM benefits costs what one would pay for a new couch, or a TV. The best bargain I have ever received by far! Take a look at the David Lynch Foundation website to see some of the remarkable benefits in schools, the military, for abused women and children, Native Americans, etc. The Lynch Foundation raises millions of dollars so that TM can be made available to the most under-served communities...

Happy30Too Hi there. I don't doubt that TM as a concept works in the way you describe. It just seems peculiar to me that the price is so high to learn a simple meditation technique that's already available for free.

+rustyfo1 Having seen over the last 30+ years probably hundreds of claims that TM is being taught from a book/Cassette/DVD/youtube etc. I suggest that: 1) Don't be fooled by that. Out of curiosity I've looked into many of those. They are not in any way similar to the practice of TM. 2) There is a reason that TM is taught in the way it is--with personal instruction from a teacher--four consecutive days of meetings--and a lifetime follow-up program. 3) The price of TM now in the US is apparently $960. For the benefits one receives this is astronomically inexpensive! The same as a new couch! The TM teachers I have met--in several different countries--are the most sincere and selfless people I have ever met. They are never rich by any standard. Check out the David Lynch Foundation website: they are raising money to make TM available to all who want it. The next event is titled: 'An Amazing Night of Comedy' featuring Louis CK, Russell Brand, Jim Gaffigan and Vanessa Sayer. The goal is to raise millions so that Vets all over America can learn TM and reduce the 23 suicides a day that everyone ignores! The TM movement is working in ways the government/political candidates aren't!

Feels like a Trannyman to me.

Candy is man made; that’s not something nature gave us; but I see ur point

This is re-branded Transcendental Meditation.

exactly,she even didnt come over with confidence,more as a corporate slave as a matter of fact

Both of your comments lack strong sincerity and depth. For instance, neither even explains or points out exactly what you perceived to be insincere or lacking in depth in her presentation. Instead it just rants a subjective rant as if it's stating an objective fact. Try harder.

+G86 a sports coach develops "techniques" to help train his players and they win the gold medal. these techniques are a "human thing" but this coach has every right to guard the technique and keep it secret. what you're saying is, this coach has to share this technique to everybody because he doesn't OWN it because it's a "human thing". first, Hinduism was doing meditation before Buddhism. second, if Buddhism was guarding meditation secretly, you wouldn't be learning about meditation freely on the internet and taught freely by monks around the world. third, ur logic is flawed and you make urself to be clown pedestrian (u know shit about meditation...hey it's freely available for you to learn on the internet....go learn it son...stop being lazy). fourth, someone spent way too much on plastic surgery....now she has to hustle money to pay back the surgery costs.

Purple Wolf that's productivity-meditation for you !
