    I absolutely love ALL of your work and insights! However, I don’t understand where you get this ratio of holding the breath after inhale? As a C-IAYT (I have over 10,000 yoga teaching hours), and studying yoga for 40 years; we would not hold after inhale to create calm in the body. A longer exhale than inhale (i.e. 4 seconds in, 8 seconds out) brings us into parasympathetic. For more calming….hold after exhale (but not for longer than the exhale). There’s science behind this. Holding after inhale for longer than the inhale can easily lend towards anxiety. Please feel free to go to the IAYT.org website and check this out.

    Thank you for an amazing presentation. So much content and information to learn from. I work as a EQ faciliator in South Africa and practice mindful meditation. I resonate with your comment that yes SEL and mindfulness are one. I love the MWE – as you said we have Ubuntu in South Africa – sadly a practice that is not been well used with our current crime and violence stats particularly in our schools. I would love to connect with your SA PhD student. Pls could you send me his details Libby.equilbium

    Wooow! What a spectacular presentation!!! ”MWE” = Cosmic Education (M.Montessori knew that 100 years ago)
    THANK YOU! 💖✨

    “Ubuntu” is the way we great each other at the school I work at! I am so happy to hear that this simple word, and understanding of life, came into this conversation.

    Great information, love MWE and how easy is the concept of monitoring and modifying to approach emotions.

    Amazing. I love Dan Seigel so much. Mwe is my new favourite word!

    The biggest take home for me is the monitoring aspect. If we don’t recognize what we are doing, thinking, feeling etc, how can we take responsibility for that which we do not see.

    So much insight and so much gratitude for your time and dedication to changing humanity🙏🏻

    Such a powerful message–3 pillars of mind training: strengthen focus/attention; develop open awareness; build kind intentions. And…that mind training alters our telomeres and slows aging! What could be better than that?! Thank you, Dan Siegel!! MWE

    Thanks so much for sharing, I’m much more clear about communicating with children, adults, and with my inner self because of this videos which gives ideas on how to listen to another person and also how to include oneself. it’s a precious gift you’ve both given! Applause! By the way, I’ve used mindfulness and have had excellent help with my trauma incident and am now approaching my 91st birthday. I started the healing journey by getting help at the age of 20. Again , many thanks for keeping on the healing journey.

    hi
    can you guide us to which of Dr Siegel’s books have this information?

  17. Susanne October 17, 2019 at 6:11 am - Reply

    Thank you so much. The impact of your view as a scientist is strengthening and accumulating my so known spiritual experiences and as a practicioner and educator on music, languages and traditional mediation in stillness and movement, i feel highly motivated to move on that path. Your research and outcome with your talks and books do really support practicioners and spiritual people follwing their path and then finding methods to educate. I am writing from Japan.
    Best wishes and good health for you.

    Joined the CASEL group five years ago! Mindful Certification two years ago…parallels all the way around. The presentations from Mindful Zones to Educators, parents and students has one fundamental message for all: Self practice=self regulation and teaching by Example. I do. We do. You do.

    Great presentation, powerful ideas. Loved the concept of expanding the view of self MWE

    Thank you Dr. Siegel, I have read your books and I think my students will be benefited from what I had learned today in this presentation.I was amazed to hear about the three pillars you had presented and the idea of developing Compassion among students coming from a Scientist like you not defending any specific contemplative tradition.
    Yes, your presentation was very clear and enlightening to many teachers like me, moreover when we need to introduce Mindfulness to parents in a specific school without touching any religious or philosophical tradition but we need to talk about the mind and the inner self from the point of view of the Neurosciences.In Latin America this is very important when dealing with the socio-emotional education and taking students into real XXI century education.I was delighted to hear about the” MWE” (Me and We) concept.
    Thanks again!
