I love getting up for a wee, then going back to bed, opening one curtain and lying looking out at world for 10minutes just patting my dog, letting thoughts pass through. ❤ I love that time of contemplation because it's so limited these days in a busy world
You can be forgiven for seeing Christianity as religiousness but, it will give much more than stoicism, as interesting as it is though it is, going back to life b.c. Seeking God many things will change including the peace, inner wealth. The tough part is that then there comes other priorities than yourself in the growth..
@bron-sconcess.10 Christianity has 'borrowed' heavily from Stoicism. Stoic philosophy offers a means of attaining "peace and inner wealth" without all the myth and hypocrisy found in religion.
@@kevingillihan7884have you read the Bible? :) Actually everything that Marcus Aurelius said that is wise has a reflection in the Bible. The Bible offers much more. It’s simply more difficult to understand. I do recommend you reading it, without worrying about the passages you won’t understand. You’ll see what happens. :)
stoicism + pragmatis + epicurianism, you need all 3, the more cynical you become and the more "smarter" you will feel bad about yourself following the "stoic" principles, it's not in our nature to be "calm " in every situation
15 minutes a day reading wisdom Time in prayer, gratitude, Time with 0 distractions just being alive I would add time with loved ones/laughing %engaging And time to move around And time to improve something All^^^ = time well spent
Matthieu Ricard, 69, is a Tibetan Buddhist monk originally from France who has been called "the world's happiest man." That's because he participated in a 12-year brain study on meditation and compassion led by a neuroscientist from the University of Wisconsin, Richard Davidson. Davidson hooked up Ricard's head to 256 sensors and found that when Ricard was meditating on compassion, his mind was unusually light.
Thank you both, so much. The host is radiating decency rarely found in young men. I wondered wherefrom, I learn he was brought up in faith. There is so much wisdom in the guest's words. When you come back Home, you will find yourself again. And find your answers. It may not be your childhood conception of faith, but now a more mature practice. Some kind of feedback will come, in the way your life unrolls, the people you meet...
God knows what's best for us. When we choose our way over God's way it is sin.Sin is against us, God, and/or others. I've never thought about it really, but it's helpful for me to break it down like that.
Just because he is from Harvard doesn't mean he is the No. 1 Happiness expert. Every culture has its own ways of becoming happy. Expand your horizons, and don't pressure yourself. Find balance and be in service for others

Hi Stephen, you have one of the best podcasts in the world, please find an expert on radio magnetic radiation and how it affects our body and the human reproductive system.
Does it count as mindfulness if write a diary while looking out of the window in a train? I have a 50 minute train journey in both directions several times a week, I like looking out of the window, writing the diary and looking out of the window again simultaneously :)
Mindfulness is empathy, gratitude, and being aware of some worth, and chemical nutrients. Emotions are chemical too. Mindfulness is also not believing some negative thoughts etc. They are some projections in our mind, not necessarily the truth.
Aristotle (/ˈærɪˌstɒtəl/; Greek: Ἀριστοτέλης Aristotélēs, pronounced [aristotélɛːs]; 384-322 BCE) was an Ancient Greek philosopher and polymath. His writings cover a broad range of subjects spanning the natural sciences, philosophy, linguistics, economics, politics, psychology and the arts. As the founder of the Peripatetic school of philosophy in the Lyceum in Athens, he began the wider Aristotelian tradition that followed, which set the groundwork for the development of modern science.

Meditations (Koinē Greek: Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν, romanized: Ta eis heauton, lit. 'things to one's self') is a series of personal writings by Marcus Aurelius, Roman Emperor from AD 161 to 180, recording his private notes to himself and ideas on Stoic philosophy. Marcus Aurelius wrote the 12 books of the Meditations in Koine Greek as a source for his own guidance and self-improvement. It is possible that large portions of the work were written at Sirmium, where he spent much time planning military campaigns from 170 to 180. Some of it was written while he was positioned at Aquincum on campaign in Pannonia, because internal notes reveal that the first book was written when he was campaigning against the Quadi on the river Granova (modern-day Hron in Slovakia) and the second book was written at Carnuntum. It is unlikely that Marcus Aurelius ever intended the writings to be published. The work has no official title, so "Meditations" is one of several titles commonly assigned to the collection. These writings take the form of quotations varying in length from one sentence to long paragraphs. Source: Wikipedia
The question is what really are your morals and beliefs. People "say" a lot of things. I believe in this or that but I think it is mostly for show. They haven't really looked at what this and that really is or entails.
Not sure where he got the idea that mindfulness involves contemplation. It just means observing your senses and a key point is to not fuel the thoughts of the mind which will always be there ofc.
I can't see how mindfulness doesnt involve contemplation. If my knowlege of this words are right, both implies staying in the present moment. How could you be aware of something you have not observed? Please explain to me better/ more, I 'd like to understand what you mean.
@@Modelscoutingwd It might be a matter of how he uses the word. But for me contemplating means to think about something and to ponder on it. When doing mindfulness meditation and most other meditation practices we are not actively using our thoughts. Instead we are focusing on whatever object you may have for your meditation. As an example. If you focus on your breath as it goes in and out there doesn't need to be any thoughts while you do this. There can be, and they usually lead you to be caught up in your stream of thought and forget that you where supposed to focused on your breath so you come back to the breath and do that over, and over and over. There are numerous videos on breathing meditation on youtube. One of the first videos on my chanel was a guided breathing meditation. look for "10-Minute Breathing Pain Relief | Breathing Meditation | Chronic Pain" and try it and it should become aparent how thoughts about something is not the same as awareness on something. Hope this helps : )
It's also not too late to get back into the Christian faith... prayer isn't just about "being thankful". Forget the corruption and idiocy that goes on within "denominations" and read the Bible, read what Jesus says on life, and apply it. Because it works, and it's way better than anything "mindfulness" can give you.
If you are with God, you Will never feel empty. Jesus is the path, the truth, the life....gi back to your Christian faith, and you will find the missing parts of living a full life
There’s nothing wrong with leaving a faith if you don’t agree with its teachings and/or have had it forced on you. Faith should be an option not an obligation. The stigma around atheism isn’t going anywhere soon sadly.
Steven, did you give up on Christianity because of the dysfunctional family you grew up in? God isn't the reason you grew up in a dysfunctional family. God doesn't force anyone to believe in him. If you think you got to where you are completely on your own then get ready for an Awakening by the very God that breathe Life into you. ✝️

I love starring outside the window on a train and getting lost in my thoughts, I don’t need much to be entertained ☺️
If you're not religious id suggest looking into stoicism, its ancient wisdom on how to be a better person and live a better life ❤
Pound for pound, Meditations has much better wisdom than the Bible.

Arthur C. Brooks has a world of knowledge and wisdom. I learned so much by listening to snippets of his interviews.
15 minutes a day reading wisdom
Time in prayer, gratitude,
Time with 0 distractions just being alive
I would add
time with loved ones/laughing %engaging
And time to move around
And time to improve something
All^^^ = time well spent
I really enjoyed this particular episode.

"Mindfullness" is just being well mindfull or aware of your emotions, thoughts, behaviour and state of mind. And journaling is a great way to do that.
Mindfulness is empathy, gratitude, and being aware of some worth, and chemical nutrients.
Emotions are chemical too.
Mindfulness is also not believing some negative thoughts etc.
They are some projections in our mind, not necessarily the truth.

I wonder what the different benefits of contemplation vs transcendental thoughtlessness…
The question is what really are your morals and beliefs. People "say" a lot of things. I believe in this or that but I think it is mostly for show. They haven't really looked at what this and that really is or entails.
Not sure where he got the idea that mindfulness involves contemplation. It just means observing your senses and a key point is to not fuel the thoughts of the mind which will always be there ofc.
All great philosophers contemplate. Big difference between contemplating life and all it's glory and being neurotic.

On contemplation: I go out and sit in the woods, in the darkness, alone, without any interferences other than nature and wildlife.
