Regulating the Nervous System | TBTS | Dr. Juliet Hwang | 2023-10-01
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 жов 2023
- From Sept 26 to Oct 1, 2023, Deer Park Monastery hosted a retreat called The Buddha The Scientist, where we explored how scientific knowledge and Buddhist wisdom can be combined to create lasting solutions that impact the world.
Dr. Juliet Hwang encouraged us to couple mindfulness with somatic, body-based practices as a path to healing and transformation. She taught us how to identify dysregulation and trauma in our bodies and ways to understand and transform it. She breaks down Polyvagal Theory and how to down regulate during a trauma response. By having peace in ourselves, we can have peace in the world and collective awakening.
Dr. Hwang is a pediatrician with a special interest in childhood trauma and transgender care. She incorporates mindfulness techniques and embodied practices in her clinical practice to help her patients regulate their nervous systems. She started practicing in the Plum Village tradition in 2004. In 2011, she was ordained into the Order of Interbeing and was transmitted the lamp to become a Dharma teacher in 2021.
The Buddha the Scientist Retreat is a transformative journey into the present moment, empowering scientists and the wider community to cultivate mental stability amidst the multifaceted challenges of our time.

This is your home and we love you with all are hearts . Thank you for speaking out on the situation in Korea and Vietnam. All my love and respect to you and all your family and ancestors
i chose a dharma talk at random to listen to while I was working on a project, and this is exactly what I needed to hear, as I have a serious problem w. the vagal nerve. Dr. Juliet is a caring lovely person, and her entire talk resonated with me.
This is absolutely WONDERFUL ❤ Thank you SO MUCH 🌷
WONDERFUL ! THANK YOU ❤ much needed 🙏
Good glory, I could listen to this woman all day. Can I come live where you are please??? As a healthcare worker, this approach to provision of health services is so desperately needed. I often think the pace of life in general today doesn't allow for any downregulation and so we (as a generality and as a whole of society) turn to outside 'influences' to downregulate us (drugs, unwise choices, alcohol, etc.) and get us through to the next day. As a society, I feel we are living on the sympathetic nervous system and are on cortisol overload to the point that we react to each other instead of listen to each other with kindness and compassion, as if the next person is simply 'out to get us' and so we strike first be it in words (ie, hate speech) or actions (gun violence, assault and battery). May we all take Borges at his word and learn to listen to ourselves so we can listen to others. Thank you for sharing this important message with such clarity. PS--any way we can get a list of those references you mentioned at the end of your talk??? Thanks!
Wonderful! Thank you 🙏💕

It is unfortunate with all this talk about colonialism and people of color which by the way we all have color right. This talk is turning people against white people which is also a labeling in itself. This kind of talk is not only stirring hatefulness to others but it insights into hatefulness for attitudes that don't even exist today or exist in different ways not in the cultural ways of the unenlightened past and not in the same way at all....that is not to say that there aren't cases but people are far more integrated and understanding and accepting. No, you would not think so when you see young college students acting in hatefulness while claiming to coexist.... so while I love the monks and all of the teachings of peace and love from Thich Nhat Hanh talking against white people is sad... there are egregious acts from people of all races and beliefs. Also, lots of "white people and Europeans" also suffer so why separate your suffering from their suffering I thought TNH taught there is no duality that we ultimately are all connected? I would love a response and not a hostile response from the audience but a response from the monks who are teaching this, please. I had no other way of communicating this without it being public and it brings me no joy. if there was a private way to ask this I most certainly would.
I believe that I understand you. You feel being criticised when somebody talk about the cruelty of colonialism and discrimination. Firstly I agree with you that suffering is universal; coloured as well as white people do suffer. I do not believe that mentioning the trauma caused by colonialism and other wars was intended to awake hate against the white people; it was more a concrete description of the actual circumstances. THẤY (the teacher) was a Vietnamese who had experienced the cruelty of 2 wars (the French and then the American wars) so it is understandable that he referred to the sufferings caused by these wars. Doing so, he did see and also felt the sufferings of the French and American soldiers and the sufferings of the mothers and relatives of the fallen soldiers. He did mention that when campaigning for the end of the (American) war in Viet Nam. I witnessed that, because Thấy did come to Germany and talked to us, Vietnamese students, in the time of the American war. I remembered him mentioning the sufferings of the Vietnamese AND the US mothers who lost their sons.
This is similar to an engineer or a physician who shares his or her experiences by referring to some case histories. This is a question of interpretation. Another plausible interpretation is an attempt to awake a sense of responsibility of the European and N. American people. But the final goal is AWAKENING leading to universal peace.
That’s my interpretation. But your views are also important; I hope that the monks or nuns should also wake up and talk in a more careful manner to avoid misunderstanding and bad feelings among our white friends. In fact sufferings, diminishing suffering leading to mutual understanding, respect and peace has NO skin colour. The skin is very, very thin!
I agree.
Too woke for me. Sorry.
The word ‘woke’ is almost always used as an attempt to insult or belittle someone else. You might look at what you feel, and why you think you need to put down someone else’s approach. It’s totally fine if an approach does not work for you. Completely fine. But denigrating someone else isn’t helpful for anyone.
@@Rob_132 You are entitled to your opinion. Me too.
@@veroniquehoflack4910 Please explain what you mean by “too woke” as it pertains to this presentation.
@@Rob_132 Wokism is everything zen Buddhism is not. Wokism focuses on the past and on our differences whereas the Dharma focuses on what we have in common, on our interbeing and on the present moment. Wokism presents a very simplistic, naive and patronizing version of the reality. Wokism encourages people to divide society into groups. For instance: the privileged whites and the victims. It is a myth, a perception. The reality is much more complex than that. I don't know why I am answering your question since I don't have to but let me tell you something. If the plum village community goes woke, then i will stop supporting them. I know that it doesn't matter because they are getting a lot of support but I have this weird feeling that they are going in a direction that our dear Thay would probably not have approved.
