What I found was there's two ways to make problems. One you say? Yes, sir. Second, you say Hey, get out. This. Yes sir. Hey, get out this other problems. Do you want to learn? Yes sir. And hey, get out. I will teach you
Okay, what is the meaning of Yes sir. Any message from panic, or what I call crazy monkey mind? Do you know? I don't mean a bad way. Monkey are nice. I'm not insulting the monkeys. You know, I love monkeys but they are very, very active. You know? Just like mine is active a lot and I'm going out and mind tell you a bad message. Just Oh, there's a danger. They're fearful. There's a problem. Yes. Yes, sir. Whatever you say is true, sir. I believe you sir. There's a problem. And panic become your boss. is a Hey, get out. Panic. I don't know you. Panic become your enemy. Maybe I will show you a little bit. The boss is like this, you know, blah blah ha Yes, sir. Yes. All right. You know, for 24 hours. This kind of title Yeah. And second, pick it up. What do you do? Leave me alone. And then there's the become enemy. So I make little drama. Do you understand?
Okay, now, what I did is Hello, hello. Good morning. Good evening. Hello. Nice.
Just like now panic become support for your meditation. Not only with the panic, any other situation, depression, low self esteem. Anger, shame, guilt, panic or panic. Fear of fear, resistance of anger. These are what what I call booster of emotion, anything you can use as support for your meditation. Not only the problems, even for some similar test sensation, just normal thought and normal emotion, everything become cause of merit, meditation, everything and become cause of joyful experience.
And you can be happy all the time, everywhere, with any and under any circumstances. Okay. This is why meditation is very important. Without meditation, maybe I cannot be here. Maybe I'm still hiding in the cave summit in the Himalayan Mountains.
Because of meditation, I'm here. I'm giving you this talk. Because of my meditation. I make friends with the mind panic.
I wrote two books because of the experience of meditation, to make friends with my panic and problems and your mind become stable. But I call the goal of meditation is to develop your inner joy. In a peaceful experience. There is wisdom. There's love and compassion. And there's kind of a strength, strength or power within you. And this joy, this peaceful experience none it depends on outside circumstances. This is why I have what I call inner joy. And this joy is not like stock market up and down is stable. Why not depend on outside circumstances. Even any problem become cause of develop the inner joy is good for you. Good for your life. good for your health, good for your body, you know, okay.
Now let me tell you more about science because I'm not saying only I'm Not only me here saying about this benefit are my teachers, even scientists. I joined I was doing in some, some experiments like University of Wisconsin, and broccoli University in the western of Harvard, and special in the University of Wisconsin, they test my brand they put me in big me cynical f MRI is shaped a white coffin. And this comes some sort of tongue. Tongue in a tongue coming out, I have the line down on the day tied my head, you know, here and here.
And they put big earphone here and they put me inside the machine. The mission is like, tunnel dog called very noisy. And that I have to meditate on three meditation techniques. Open pressing, first, second, concentration, third, loving kindness, compassion. And the scientists are in the next room giving me instruction.
Okay, now you have to meditate on compassion for 90 seconds. self compassion, compassion, self compassion. Compassion is nice. And they're having fun and drinking tea or coffee, somehow eat some hamburgers, maybe. And then the result of this, what they told me is, I am totally crazy. I was disappointed.
No, no, I'm joking. Not only me, they are also study with other meditators. They are 16 or something. And what they see is, there are very big change in your brain. And special, lab free frontal lobe, left prefrontal lobe around here, this activity increased enormously.
What I learned with scientists, three important things first, what they call neuroplasticity.
It means your brain has capable obtain maybe 13 or 15 years before neuroscientists they don't believe that your brain has capable obtains.
If you are born with unhappy rest of your life will be unhappy. But nowadays, no, you can change every you're born with unhappy, you can change to happy person, just like there's hope. And second, one of the best way to change is applied daily meditation. They also might experiment with novice, the beginner, the university student, they don't have any idea about meditation, they test. They give meditation instruction for them and they apply every day one hour.
After eight weeks later, they develop that free frontal lobe between 10 to 15%. There's only for eight weeks. Third, that positive change in your brain is good for your physical body immune systems.
There's some many other studies also ongoing study that other universities they talk about good for your heart, good for your blood circulation DBT rescue respiratory tract infection and stress deductions. Many other benefits is on now. I want to add one more this from my laboratory. None I'm joking.
My one is good for your life. Why? Happy my healthy body? Of course it's good for your life. Yeah.
This way your life become wonderful, joyful. That is the benefit from meditation. Okay, thank you.
