The Scientific Power of Meditation

Hello everyone!

Today I'm going to talk about a video called "The scientific power of meditation", as a summary, I can say that this video talks, through a scientific look, about what causes meditation in our bodies. It is mentioned that with meditation, a decrease in anxiety and depression has been recorded in the brain, along with increased tolerance to pain. Also, in Buddhist monks have shown that they have more empathy and more Alpha waves, which reduce negative associations, sadness, tension and anger and people who practice meditation have an autoimmune system more prepared to fight the flu.

So, watching this mini video, I felt that I should practice meditation yes or yes haha, I mean, we should all know a little more about this practice, in my case, I knew that meditation was very beneficial for health and other disciplines such as yoga and pilates and many people practice it.
But, I know that it is very difficult, because at least in my case I have tried to meditate something like 10 or 15 minutes, but it is very difficult for me, although I can concentrate, but for a short time, maybe because I am a dispersed person and for the same reason is not something that I decide to do very often. Anyway, I have realized in my little experience that sometimes I have managed to relax and it has even made me sleepy (I'm not sure if it should happen or not :c). By the way, in these quarantine and pandemic days, having a meditation practice would be a very good idea.

In general, during the pandemic I have been in good health with my family, we have been at home and we have everything we need. But, the last few days I must admit that I have felt more anxiety, I think the factors are mainly that we have been at home for a long time and with the same people, I miss sharing with my friends and the rest of the family and I don't like winter at all. 

In relation to the English class, I have always liked them a lot, it has not been difficult for me to understand the language, and it is partly because I have had very good teachers throughout my teaching. I hope that soon there will be a meeting to learn and practice among all.

Thank you very much for reading!

    Madelainne, I feel the same way when I saw the video, like "I have to do this thing right now!" and I also think that is a really hard practice but it can help a lot in this days with the pandemia and the quarentine. I´m happy that you and your family are ok and saved, I also miss my friends a lot, and I also hate winter hahahah. I hope you feel better soon :)

    Hello friend, I agree with you that achieving concentration in meditation is difficult, it also happens to me that I manage to concentrate for a few minutes and then I lose focus. I have tried with short meditations, maybe it will help you, greetings

    Hello Maddie, it is very difficult to be locked up at home with the same people for so long; I absolutely understand you.
    Lots of encouragement and mental power.

    A big hug,

    Hi there!! I also think I HAVE to practice meditation, but it's difficult because it's hard to concentrate even more in this time of quarantine. I been trying for now to do exercise but I'm also a dispersed person, and it's hard to focus this days. It is really good to know that you and your family is fine!!! I know that soon we will with our friends again but for now we have a lot of different ways to talk to them and maybe even see them. I hope that you and your family still good :33

English Language Challenges

Hello everyone! Today i'm going to talk about engllish language challenges. As I mentioned in a previous post, I have always liked English and learning it, I haved luck of haved so goods teachers in my basic education, and it has not made it difficult for me to practice it as some people I have met, also I listening to a lot of music in English, so I always look the lyrics and their translation. I think what has cost me the most has been the verb conjugations depending on the verb tense in which we are speaking, also learn the use of contractions like “she will, she'll”, and using words in more formal contexts and others in more everyday contexts like "I want, I wanna". But learning noun, verbs or numbers has not been difficult for me. I consider that speaking and writing in English are at the same level of difficulty for me, maybe that speaking very slightly is more complicated, because first of all you have to have a knowledge and control of the words you want t...

My favourite piece of technology

Hi teacher and guys! My favourite piece of technology is the cellphone too, since I consider that it is currently an important piece for communication and is easy to carry. I had my first cellphone at the age of eleven, my parents gave it to me, it was very different from what I currently have, and I used it only to have games, not anymore :(. My current cellphone I have about a year and a half ago and it has worked very well, with it I take photos, I use applications like WhatsApp, I receive the university corres and more. I use it very often, I constantly check the notifications on my cellphone and I really like it, I feel communicated and I am sure I have it. I don't think I can imagine a life without a cellphone, but anyway, in case of an emergency or world apocalypse (lol) I don't think it costs me so much to leave it (hopefully). Thanks for reading me!!

Favourite memory of the year

Imagen
Hi everyone! Today I'm going to talk to you about my favourite memory of this year, well, the last year my older sister Débora bought her current home with her boyfriend in Longaví, Seventh Region of Chile, it is about four hours from my home, and in the last summer my family, boyfriend and me went a lot part of the holidays, and we haved a very good time, we camp (the stars at night look perfect <3), eat a lot (and we drink too), we swim and play in the pool, and we went out to know the surroundings. Longaví is very country and in the summer it is very hot, it is very dry (a bit overwhelming and hopeless), so it is very pleasant to spend the days there while there is a place to cool off haha. But, anyways, in the nights is so nice. If you can, you should go to know that town! :)
