How Meditation Makes Us Better Humans | Mara Branscombe | TEDxSurreySalon

Are you aware of your habitual, unconscious, and toxic thoughts? What we think, we become. Our feelings, words, and actions become our reality. Meditation isn’t just about inner peace - it’s about building our intuitive capacity while responding to life with curiosity and possibility. Mara Branscombe believes in the power shaping one’s life though “present moment response” over a “habitual reaction”. Teaching meditation and yoga for over 20 years, Mara has discovered that anyone can heal and activate a joyous, intuitive life through daily mindful practice. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Superb. And meditation is amazing but maybe it should also be pointed out that it won’t often bring you euphoria or bliss. I’m not sure that is the purpose of meditation. I am guilty of slightly overselling the concept but when people try it, they are underwhelmed. Hopefully the audience a now into it and feeling calmer and more prepped for this crazy world.
