    Dear all,
    Wish to draw your kind attention to the preventive role of mindfulness rather than therapeutic and curative. especially in the sphere of health care. Preventon is better than cure. Now it is time for this consideration.
    U Dhammajiva.

    Excellent talk! Thanks for pointing out that mindfulness or awareness alone is not enough. Insight or wisdom is another basic component.

    Very informative and inspiring! The point raised by Mr. Davidson about empathy vs compassion made me very curious so Googled it I found Matthieu Ricard’s article on the subject, in case someone like me would like to know more about it https://info-buddhism.com/Empathy-Compassion-Neuroscience-Ricard-Altruism.html Thank you!

    This was a truly inspiring resource. Covered many avenues to heal in this profession. provided a wonderful guided mindfulness meditation at the end. He provided many tools for helping us collect ourself, those we love or those we need to increase greater cooperation between our fellow humans. Liked the clarification between compassion and empathy. Our profession needed this ongoing from the day we left graduate school, throughout each internship and ongoing business. It has been lost in the past years, affecting us all both physically and mentally. This caring was needed more often for the workers. Mindfulness and hynotherapy is wonderful work to do with clients to share within the office. It brings peace to that work if done with this kind of approach. Thank you.

    Thanks for this session! I really enjoyed listening to Richard Davison about resilience research.
    It was so powerful the idea that as we have learnt to brush our teeth, we could learn to meditate the same amount of time daily…. and we could change the world. We could be a completely different society.
    As well, I appreciate the practice that Richard Davison guided at the end of the lecture. Thanks for your generosity of sharing your knowledges and wisdom
