We have a tendency to judge our worst moments against the highlight reels of others.

We see all of our flaws, hear all the doubts, and live through the darkness, yet we compare ourselves to the external projections of others.

We fear failure, yet this fear ironically causes our performance to drop.

This talk will show you that it's only through acceptance and action that we can hope to push through our fears and take the actions necessary for success.

Consider the following: if you were to gradually replace all of the parts of your body until nothing ‘original' remained, can you still claim to be you?

This talk breaks down the philosophical thought experiment 'The Ship of Theseus' and relates its implications back to cell division and the nature of the mind over time.

There is a direct correlation between mindfulness and lucid dreaming.

The more you practice meditation, the higher your chances of becoming lucid.

Try this: hold your hands out in front of you, take a mindful breath and say the following, 'Tonight when I am dreaming, I will notice my hands and realise I am dreaming'.

This is a simple reality check that can be used both as a mindfulness aid, as well as to improve your chances of lucid dreaming.

The simple truth is that it doesn’t matter how much you meditate.

The prestige of your lineage and the books you have read do not matter.

The amount of time you sit, or don’t sit, is irrelevant.

Your philosophy, beliefs, traditions, and practices may have benefits, but in terms of mindfulness - unless those things allow you unfiltered access to the present moment, they are not serving their function and are likely a distraction.

All that matters is the present moment. This talk will ask the questions, ‘Are you present? Are you observing reality as it is, for what it is, right now?’

For the rest of the day, when you notice an intense emotion, thought, mood, memory, or other mental phenomena, take one mindful breath.

That is a long, slow, deep breath, in through the nose and out through the mouth.

Then recognise that you are, at any time, free to make a different decision should you choose to do so. Give it a try.

The mind and body are deeply interconnected; impact one and the other will follow. The breath is a prime example of this connection.

When we slow down the breath and breathe deeply, we are activating the parasympathetic nervous system. This will subsequently result in physiological, then psychological, relaxation.

The practice in this meditation is as follows: slow deep breath to fill the belly, then quick exhale with mouth open like fogging a mirror.

This breathing technique is different to the traditional slow in and slow out breath techniques, and as such, it may produce a different result for you that you have experienced with those techniques.
