- Stop. Breathe. Pay attention. "Our mental health and well-being are profoundly affected by where and how we place our attention". In this enlightening talk, Richard guides through a short mindfulness meditation, and shares his experience of teaching mindfulness in schools. He reveals some of the amazing benefits being mindful can bring to the classroom and inspires the audience with simple ways to bring more awareness to how we respond to our everyday experiences.
Richard Burnett is co-founder of the Mindfulness in Schools Project. With Chris Cullen and Chris O'Neill, Richard wrote the highly-acclaimed 9 week mindfulness course, .b (pronounced dot-b), designed to engage adolescents in the classroom. He is a teacher and Housemaster at Tonbridge School, the first school in the UK to put mindfulness on the curriculum, an event covered by press, TV and radio in early 2010. Since then, thousands of young people have been taught .b in a wide range of educational contexts, from independent girls' schools like St Pauls to Young People's Support Services for those excluded from school. .b is now being taught in the UK, USA, Germany, France, Finland, Denmark, Holland and Thailand.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
I have been involved with this project for a couple of years and am regularly moved to tears by the tangible and remarkable results I personally witness. Having attended a number of teacher training courses it is also delightful to see educational professionals from all over the word coming to the UK to learn about '.b'.
Like all good things it acts as a goodness magnet that continues to pull excellent people. I am thrilled and honoured to be part of it.
Bless you Richard and Chris!
Despite a public education system designed to produce worker slaves, actual humanity still can shine through. Richard Burnett is a great example. I had several teachers who, like Richard, understood what education is really about: focusing attention and having fun. This presentation nails it on all levels, and is one of the top TED talks!
This is just a paid inyection of anestesia of the world we life in. Where companies that nonstop produce thingd we don't need work with social media and creating of trauma and comparesing and work with companies that polute by sending items in no time. I notice they start no to accept people like Vandana Shiva who says please teach and love children to love the earth and grow cuality food.
One of the best videos i have seen in many years of my life explaining mindfulness in easiest way
Thank you. Love it. My high cortisol levels nearly killed me three years ago. It took a very long time to recover. I learned how to meditate, do yoga and yoga nidra which helped me overcome insomnia and heal. Now I am teaching again and for my weekly after school activity session I am teaching pupils mindfulness. I plan on showing the pupils a section of your Ted Talk. Thank you.
Totally agree with the proposal, mindfulness classes at the schools, plus at universities too💙💙💙
Dit heeft het onderwijs van de toekomst zo nodig en dat onderwijs van de toekomst begint vandaag, het is er al! Maar hopen dat we dat onze leerlingen en kinderen ook mee kunnen geven.
Still trying to learn it in my late 40's. So true!!! Thanks for the reminder
Just brilliant! I wish all schools could have this programme.
love the reactions and reflections about high cortisol levels and the practice of meditation and how to help the body, healing and overcoming insomnia..mindfulness is very important and to speak about awareness and consciousness is only possible when we teach them and practice this what it is, love this video
I wish everyone on Earth could see this video.
what a superb piece of communication
wonderful "dot be" technique, glad to hear
Thanks for sharing this important information. As a middle school nurse I have first hand experience with children that could use mindful education at school. I will look into this program.
.. You start at a younger age.. but THIS is wonderful! YES... SO VERY TRUE... ALL of this is TRUE!!

This should've been a TED talk !
This was a very good teaching for me sir as my mind used to wonder too far away. Thank you very much.
Loved it! Speaks directly to teachers.....
They tried showing us these exercises once in a drama class, but it just seemed so strange and they didn't explain what it was meant to do we couldn't focus on the exercises at all! I really wish had paid more attention now, .b seems to be really useful.
Meditation is Mindfulness!!!! whoa
im 17 and iv always wished mediation was taught in schools i would be that kid who would look bright eyed and say please sir teach us mindfulness!
This is great, will be using in my HU 100 class (Human Interaction)
Word Up Eric Oostdjick...Start the children at the very least by Kindergarten. We Must! watch this world fix its turvy self atop again. So positive to see this Energy Force empowering millions, believe this is the knowledge that counters THEIR indoctrination.
Just keep sharing it!
Important work! Good share and inspiration

this bloke was one of my mates house masters
Such a useful lecture, thank you! :)
Yes, I totally agree! More needs to be done to bring mindfulness into schools, and it needs to be inclusive for all abilities. You may be interested in my new book: ‘Mindful Little Yogis: Self-Regulation Tools to Empower Kids with Special Needs to Breathe and Relax’ 🌺
I wonder if we are mindful all the time it means that we have to stop thinking and focus to the sensory. My creativity comes from mind racing and mindfulness disturb it. When I focus on something it involves thinking and developing the thought but trying to be mindful makes me more harder to that process. I may be wrong about mindfulness and I wanna know if it is good tool for all situation.
we need u in Saudi schools, God bless your breath
Attending this training at Rolling Ridge in Andover Mass - It was wonderful.
Looking for any professional development venues and ... an chance to practice this .B in a regular classroom. lee at cognitive yoga
The .b idea was brilliant
It's a fantastic idea but the major problem is that a teacher has to go down to London for 9 weeks to learn this for their school. Doesn't help when you live in Newcastle, Manchester, or Glasgow. Needs to be more available across UK
We offer Mindfulness training to teachers (and pupils,) and are based in Newcastle upon Tyne!

However, I agree that it's unfortunately still difficult to access mindfulness (including training,) certainly in the North of England.
Slow up North! ;)
Excellent!!!
i searched up "scott willey i live and breathe pizza" and got this. not disapointed
Thank you for this beautiful talk. I would like to translate it to French for a community of meditation teachers here. Could you please enable community contributions so I can add them? Cheers!
Dustin Billon go to the top of the video, touch the three dots, turn captions on, you will see French, touch that
Great for it ...
Traducción en ESPAÑOL!! , please
I was beginning to wonder why there are so many psychotic actions by kids getting into the news. It is because we are training their faculties outside the context of moral obligation. We are enabling them to utilize their faculties to full potential without aim, and to be capable of putting it to the use of whatever they decide. It's like if I teach my little brother how to use a gun before ensuring his psychological profile as sound or ensuring that his character is morally upright and dedicated to what is good. Instructing children in harnessing their consciousness as an amoral tool is making them readily weaponizable by anyone who can convince them to obey them - and extremely capable of executing an action for any cause - very good or very bad, without distinction.
is there some way i could get allowed to translate this and add danish subtitles?
donde puedo encontrar la traduccion ?gracias
Where can I get mindfulness DVD or cd for my children... From UK
Is he the voice from head space?
Teach the children to grow their own plants and car for nature, meditation will come alone
Mindfulness stresses me out and gives me a headache.
did anyone translate this talk to hebrew
or arabic ?
I be. I be. I be. IB!
As I think loard buddhas philosophy goes viraly within white people's community..It is good thing to be happy.. I am from Sri Lanka.we practice mindfulness since 2500 years... Please give the credit to buddha.. If you use buddhist concepts..

William James was well-read in Indian philosophy/psychology; so is it any wonder? Not really.
All old, nothing new; mainly borrowed from those who believe their gods are blue:-)
in Arabic we also have that attitude. but I want to go deeper in spirituality in ego and attitudes and that's not in Arabic religion nor history. its my time to shine

Mindfulness in eating is extremely important too. Paying someone to torture and slaughter an animal and then grabbing a hamburger/chicken sandwich at lunch is NOT mindful. ALL sentient beings want peace. GO Vegan.
