As a Canadian pharmacist, I find the Headspace App and Moodgym (AU) website useful for patients.
Thank you! Many useful, practical points from start to finish in this talk. Thank you for your efforts on a personal level of practice, on local level in your medical practice, schools and community and on national levels as part of medical boards, etc. The take-home points that will empower my day-to-day life include your comments about how mindfulness can create the PAUSE in which I can: stop the downstream consequences of stress; interrupt the cycle of emotional negativity that is so easy to fall into; open my mind to other positive/beautiful things that are also happening in the midst of what is stressful for me; and open my mind to possible solutions that I can enact or that I can support other people to enact.
I also was drawn in by the artwork behind Dr. Mukkamala’s head. Seeing the women there, I kept thinking about the women in Dr. Mukkamala’s life who have supported his ability to do all that he is doing today – his Mom, his wife, his grandmother, perhaps Aunts – and I send a THANK YOU off for all those women and the foundation which they set and continue to maintain in perhaps small, yet very meaningful ways…
Thanks also to The Awake Network for making these Summit’s possible.
I love the snowglobe analogy. Thank you for your wonderful insights. It felt right to hear about the problems you discussed, and understand how universal they are in terms of human behavior. I was able to reaffirm my angle on the big picture. Much gratitude to you. Best wishes for your continued good work.
well said….mindfulness depicted in a very simple way….
Thank you especially for your comments beginning at about minute 36. In this situation, we can over analyze the innate goodness of mindfulness – and overthink ways out of not bringing it as an invitation for well-being. This is a hurdle in healthcare, the culture of constant quantification (and rightly so for other things), however in this practice, it is actually the practice of getting out of our own way.
I think it is fantastic that the school system is using mindfulness in the classroom, as it has been shows to have so many useful cognitive and stress reduction benefits.
Love how he brought in the Serenity Prayer!! Super talk!
Thank you! Great examples of how to incorporate mindfulness practice throughout the day. Keeping it simple in a complicated world.
Listening to your talk I concluded that those kids who are being exposed to mindfulness at school will be better equipped to deal with life stressors. I do think schools around America should should begin teaching mindfulness, it’s a investment that will benefit our children well being. Thank doctor for your great lecture.
Great conversation–loved to hear about how mindfulness can practically be used in the work day! I feel encouraged that the effort put into practicing mindfulness is worth it.
We have started and definately has helped and believe should be brought into the schools also.
