dear students dear students of
the university dauphine dear guests
I am very happy a little bit
nerve bullish to be with you this
evening and I am particularly
happy because I did a year
from school to dauphine and coming here
I realized that it’s also
a little thanks to dauphine that I
met dominic so really
happy not easy to say goodnight
after that, thank you, Mrs. Kane, so I have
not studied at Dauphine but I am
still very happy to be here
gta pantheon sorbonne paris 1 then
why are we here tonight
why we are here we want to
to share something with you
a practice the meditation and more
especially the meditation of
mindfulness that in its form
contemporary non- denominational
yet from the traditions
according to us according to our experience can
really allow us to take care
both of ourselves but also
take care of the world so it’s up to
this exploration that we invite you
for 18 minutes
starting at the first exploration
exploratory question that among you
already practice a form of meditation
mindfulness or other not be
shy you unveil anyway
after this head you will all be up
the hand when we will offer you
start with a meditation for
which I invite you to choose
position that help you stay
awake
and if you are comfortable closing the
eyes and then to just watch this
that is happening
in you right now what is your
indoor weather the thoughts that are
present feelings of sensations
physical the exchanged nothing be
simply open to what is already
there and then I propose to wear
intentionally your attention on
your breathing focus your
attention on this permanent cycle or a
permanent to inspire and to exhale
try one of the feel
what do I feel when I breathe
what is this breathing
[Music]
and if your mind is at times
Escape your attention is no longer
worn on the breath do you judge
not just bring back there that
a few moments on your breath
if I propose to expand or all of
your breathing to be conscious
in your your entire body as
if the whole body breathe look
how is your expression on the
face the sensations are asked and to
inside of you come back to the body and
return to this moment
then I propose to re open your
thank you eyes even kane suddenly has that
it is near this musical moment this moment
where things look like this
drop a little bit so let’s continue
our exploration
so what did we just do
something quite simple we went
stopped rather than turning us
towards technologies and networks
external
we turned to technology
interior and interior networks
we’ve got our attention
intentionally on an object in
particular breathing then we have
tried to maintain that attention and
one that she invited us to do
without judgment so the meditation of
mindfulness
it’s simple almost trivial to wear his
intentionally attention moment
after a moment on the experience without the
judge
it’s simple and at the same time I know
not if you do what was your
experience but it’s sometimes very
very difficult to do
it’s very difficult because you
may have observed one thing that’s
that the mind the one who thinks he does not obey
not to say that you tell him to
stay close to the breath
he’s going to have a look he’s going to look elsewhere
he thinks of the future he thinks of the past he
think about things he comments
experience is what the mind does
and that’s not a problem in the
practical but it may be a
hurdle it harvard researchers
whose objective and this phenomenon and that
go far enough because they have it
interviewed about 2500 people
throughout a day in their
asking randomly in
their day is what you are
present to what you do and in
47% of cases people responded
no
am elsewhere in a day this not
a problem but if we extrapolate a
life expectancy of 80 years that makes
40 years of life in the clouds
forty years of life to live life no
not in touch with experience but
in our thoughts so in the womb
somehow from our thoughts it’s
this same research that also
showed that a wandering spirit is
a mind is unhappy these point
of a second phenomenon that you have
may have observed that our mind
is more attracted to what is wrong
by the negative information that by
things that are going well in the
positive information
this is called the negativity bias
I give you a little concrete example
who will speak to you perhaps
let’s imagine for a moment that you post
something on facebook or on
youtube on a theme that holds you
really really at heart and very quickly
there are a lot of friends a lot of your
relationships that we see little hearts
he has your contribution
except a person a person makes you
a pretty critical comment and you
my dislike breasts of your contribution
there is a good chance that your
attention is going to be snagged attracted by
this a person who did not like
your contribution and that you erase
press that tens or hundreds
small hearts that are yet so
there and according to your condition of the day the
reaction in your body can be
pretty violent almost as violent
as if there was a real life danger
quite simply your identity that has
been hit cashier
the body when he perceives a threat of
this order that it is vital or more
psychological he unleashed a
rush of adrenaline hormones
cortisol of norepinephrine all
a lot of hormones that come to mobilize
the body so that they can react
when it’s vital you are sued
by a tiger
it is better for you is a Crétier
little adrenaline to be able to
save but when it comes to a 10 like
on facebook it’s perfectly useless
perfectly unsuitable gold is when
these breeds a lot it’s this
what is called chronic stress that
create disorders in the body
up to diseases up to
behaviors addiction distraction
a lot of things we would like
to avoid
and not our concern in our society
the stimulations are at his multiples
quite quite I had a
little hole there actually what I
wanted in thanks in the halls
has mindfulness and presence
hole in our societies in our
companies it is we are more and more
threatened rather psychologically even
if the world we live in is
also vital threats
force is to note it there is more
in addition to psychological threats
why because the rhythms of life
is accelerating because we are
permanently connected to a whole bunch
of things
the level of relationship in which we
are today has nothing to do with
the one who was my rear back
grandfather when he was walking the
ewes in the pastures where he
crossed person of his day apart
the mountains when it’s a bit like
if evolution was late a
little bit she has endowed us with
coping mechanisms there is like a
delay in relation to living conditions
that we created we will see what
is going on with meditation
so actually the brain enough
developed to survive to detect
the dangers rather than to be
happy to contemplate the small
flowers to savor life that’s a
done right now we said nothing
very mean and good chances
when you stunned with these
mechanisms these paradigms our
brains a little archaic
it’s time to announce the good
news because there is a cure for
all this an antidote
that’s why we’re here to
share good news that we
make dream with you homo sapiens
sapiens the one who knows he does us
so are we also endowed with other things
that this brain a little archaic are
endowed with consciousness and it is this
consciousness that allows us to see this
which happens moment by moment from
to be aware of recognizing that this
dislike touched me that he triggered
effects in the body jaw
who knows himself
the heart that accelerates the belly and
who are knotting just recognize him from
see him maybe even observe a
crowd of negative thought judging that
the other person or on me who have
were triggered when consciousness
is awake we are able
of going to recognize staying with
to tame without reacting and the
psychiatrist at victo fringues the very
nicely and simply formulate this
phenomenon where this potential between the
stimulus and the answer there is a
space and it is in this space that
lies our power to choose our
answer is in this answer that
lies our evolution and our
freedom
so mindfulness meditation
is a workout a training of
the tension that cultivates consciousness and
when it is grown every day a
little bit of anything really bad
we develop this ability
to tame the responsiveness of our
mind and live fully and
maybe more happily this alone
moment that is really giving us to
live
this one
[Music]
this one including when there is a small
moment of turmoil
like earlier when I had this
hole a few years ago I see you pub
collapsed on the biyik kana is
sweaty behind in balance a
communicated what’s happening to you and all that
what happens there sec ond being able
to be present to what is happening in me
obviously there have been reactions to
that moment but to stay with a
little bit not to lose the foot steps
let yourself be carried away
so that’s really part of
benefits that entail the
consciousness in this way for
welcome what presents itself
profits and prove me I them
feel I can tell you about my
experience both in my relationship
to myself in the relationship that
I talk to others and also
in the relationship that I maintain with
the world
all these relationships are a lot more
peaceful somehow that there is
a few years when I was much more
in struggle with all that and then there are
profits only in the back office I
want to say that science measures and
we can quote them quickly at
of the plasticity of the brain the
neural networks reorganizes with
the practice is redeveloping the
gray matter to places where one
did not expect the biochemistry of the body
these famous stress hormone
adrenaline cortisone is regulated
the circulating levels of these hormones in
practicing these impacts the system
immune and then finally there are some
studies that even show that this has
implications for the expression of
genes the way the genes
expresses one is all equipped with a
genetic heritage but this
heritage will express itself according to
the environment and this practice influences
on the environment our environment
interior in this case so we have
talked about the effects of stress as a
personal benefits of practice
of meditation
as an individual and we wanted to do
the link also between the stress
meet each of us in these
frenetic life
then the stress of the world the stress
inflicted on the planet
what is what binds to common between
them behavior behavior
irresponsible environmental
economic greed between the
overconsumption between an ideology
radical
what is there as a whole between
all that
all that just goes out of the way
whose human mind reactive human
reacted expresses himself in the world was trying
in the way they manifest themselves
imany imagine for a moment a world where
every human being each of his
ephemeral poppies that we are
cutive a little consciousness so rather
than to let ourselves be pulled into the
fog by advertising the
overconsumption violence the
ideologies every human being who
grow every day nothing good
bad
consciousness to tame the
responsiveness of his own mind for
develop a vision of oneself and the
brighter world more free more
benevolent and so so both
guerrillas somehow the principal
care and to possibly contribute a
evolution of our species more
positive but we do not ask you
we believe obviously asks you to
do the experience
here is that auditory stimuli through this
which could be disturbing and in
same time he can be welcomed
So we still have a minute there
offers you to finish this knock with a
still practice just for you
allow to watch a little more
how does it work inside
so if you have the momentum just
close your eyes or look down
and log back to skis and
there you will notice that the
breathing is still there that she is
out of the field of consciousness but
that she is still there no need to
control it and that’s what it has to
make
let you breathe stay with her
do not let your mind leave the
body brought back gently without
judgment
see how
it’s for you to be right there
now to do nothing maybe
hear the noises of the mind these
events but remained at most
lower body simply
thank you thank you all for being
connected
this experience is good end of
evening so good evening
[Applause]
