6:11 "...when we lose ourselves to our inner movies, we miss the present moment and close our minds and hearts to the world..." gives me the picture of myself in the past and I can now see the real reason why I responsed like that: I was regarding myself as if I was gonna be judged, so that inner movie disconnected me to the world outside and I couldn't truly listen to the others' words couldn't comprehend how they were feeling, resulting in poor human relation. This help me a lot, Seba Haddad. Thank you!!! I wish you all the best.
This is my all time favorite Ted Talk! I love the concept of sitting in the seat farthest from your ego, this will help me be more mindful and calm in my daily life.
Very true, I find at peace when I am in an observer state of mind. No judgment, no emotion attached just pure information gathering. See life for what it is and make wise decisions to carved your paths.
@@AffirmLife yes, when we are baby, we cannot walk and speak all we do just observe things for what it is and learn of what we are observing. It's important to unplugged ourselves from the society that poisonous to us internally and plugged that is not poisonous so that we have time to heal.

Quieting the mind is a practice that will come with practice. One of the best ways to do this is to direct your attention to your heart. Where you focus goes energy flows. Taking a mindful deep breath is also a great technique. Practice, and we can achieve the "I am presence" and enjoy just being. Namaste. 🙏
I can't have inner peace, because I am a thinker. I think about people, problems, ideas and deadlines. I think therefore I am. There is an answer to everything and someone somewhere had already thought and written about it. And so I seek knowledge through books and theories. People tell me I overthink and over analyse and I tell them it's how I understand the World. My mind is very active as is yours. 2:53 Something monumental happened that catapulted me to a position where I had no answers and no understanding of the world. There was no solution that someone somewhere had thought about. My only option was to accept and be open to whatever came my way
For whoever is really into this. I have been at it for many many years and some advanced teachers will tell you the same. You observing thought at a distance is another thought/ego. The observer ego. There is an awareness of thought without this distance or separation.
I am also a thinker, today at morning I just try meditation for become the calm minded. But, it didn't work for me. From then, I'm just telling myself that something is missing I'm not going right direction. And today at evening luckily this video pop up and I get my answer. Thankyou so much❤
I saw this video 2 years ago and practised it ,it changed me Not sudenly but yes gradually Just this 1 practise is enough Thank you Mam for narrating it so simply M will be grateful to you forever
But she didn’t say how to get to this last row seat in the theatre of our mind She just said go there, is it one of those things that you do by doing it ?
Hi Seba, I am the most astonished person on planet earth! (I'm from Srilanka) I've been into "the now moment", "the present moment awareness", "non duality" and stuff. I never knew you had blended and distilled all that into a beautiful 10 minutes of a TED, and 5 yrs ago.! Would you believe that those 10 minutes were the "aha" moment of my searching life? Long Live the Queen of S(h)eba! (In case you didn't latch on to the pun, Queen of Sheba) is wealthy Queen mentioned in the Bible)
Wow, i was just observing your way of delivering the lecture and I am astonished to learn many things from how you delivered the lecture. The Content you presented was also awesome. Thanks for increasing my way of observing the things
Three Steps : 1) Create a distance with your mind 2) Keep yourself open - for new information and experience 3) Become a non-judgmental observer Our ego always shows us movies either from past or future or comments about present or make any in-general comments like, Do I look good ?, Am I smart enough? , You are not disciplined at all ! etc. We have to imagine ourselves sitting in the extreme backseat of a movie theater just looking at the movie our ego is playing on projector, listen to what he is saying without any judgment and welcome new experiences and information through the doors of the theater which are now more closer to us than our ego as we are at the extreme backseat.
Who creates the thought? Who choose the thought? Who is a thinker? Who correct the thought? Who is a observer? What is the difference between mind and brain? Can we be detach observer always? Thanks for sharing powerful positive beautiful information.... Love you from my depth of heart
Thought arises from permutations and combinations of memory stored in brain they come together to form mind. ( It's like wave in ocean happens automatically because of some external triggeres ) Because thought arise automatically there is no thinker besides thought itself. ( Where is thinker without the thought - thought is thinker) Similarly Observer is Observation ( without observation there is no Observer). There is just Non-dual happening. ( Also Known as Awareness, Consciousness, Brahman )
Peace is a state of mind. I can choose to appear to be successful and have peace of mind by ignoring reality. WHO decides what success is? WHO decides what is productive if what you’re producing is stealing from someone else or the environment but as long as THAT country sees it as productive it’s acceptable. WHO decides?
That is nicely explained; thanks for spreading the awareness of being aware. If anyone want to go much deeper related to thought, please see (Jiddu Krishnamurti) and one of his incredible books (freedom from the Known)
Ok. I have a question. How do we be responsible for what the cause and effect chain of our actions are and do that at the same time? Or do you alternate as necessary at the present time?
They did a study on the messages that the brain sends to the heart.. and somehow discovered that the heart sends more messages to the brain, than it receives.. by a bunch. They didn’t know why, nor did any of the researchers dare speculate the reasons for this I myself thought right from the possible reason.. the observer is within the heart, and the reason throughout history things were always heartfelt.. or in your heart of hearts you knew Infant the strongest feelings of what is right, or wrong.. let alone the falling in love.. are all from your heart, and seems to always shape your thoughts, long before the what some say is rational thinking, that you may think is in your brain..? Any chance of this being the observer? It makes you think
What if you don’t want to chase an illusion (money) to get what you need when you believe that chasing money is actually depleting the ACTUAL resource’s of what you need?
My ego right now wants to believe that I'm getting everything she's trying to say. But actually I don't know if I'm actually distancing myself from the ego or not. Seba, do you think that procrastination has anything to do with ego??
What if we create what we think about by doing what we have to do with what we have the power to do and we’re in a country to do that when by doing it down the track is taking things from people from another country who don’t have the power to create what they think about. WHO gets to decide?
What if you feel pressured to contribute to something you don’t believe in but it’s the majority’s belief. What if you believe what the majority is doing is wrong but you are seen as an outcast for not participating and feel pressured to participate. Where’s free will then?
Loved it when she said, " I have come up with three simple steps..." Hahahaha she came up with it... sure. Re-Narrating 2000-year-old wisdom and saying I came up with this.... LMAO
I am just hurt about the fact that she said you don't have to be a Vegan to be mindful. How does people fighting for animal cruelty relate to being more observant of your thoughts. At least vegans are more mindful of the cruelty towards animals. I respect the thoughts but please don't just add the word vegan because you think it can be used anywhere.
People can be mindful about animal cruelty and lack about every other things,,and there can be people who are aware of everything but animal cruelty,, simple as that,,animal cruelty is not such a thing that if you understand that you will understand everything,, simple as that! You commented purely on emotion and bias,,it hurt you bcz from the beginning your considered every vegan more mindful than others!!
Thank you for introducing me to J Krishnamurti, I have not had the pleasure of reading his work but I definitely will now. My inspiration for the concepts expressed here and in my upcoming book stem from many great spiritual leaders and thinkers, among them Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev, Gary Zukav, Mickael A.Singer, Deepak Chopra, Caroline Myss, Brene Brown, and Eckhart Tolle. :)
I always think about trying to see a colour or hearing a word that. O one has ever experienced and think that there are other beings out there that can go beyond that and them thinking the same thing as I did.

High Vibes! The seat of the observer is our true seat. We are the awareness which lies beyond the mind ❤🙏✊🙂

No u can't quiet the mind with practice else it will become dull...

You are most welcome and I am deeply humbled and thankful for your support 🙏🏼
Read zenyoga book by p.j. saher, well explained mind functions

Not sudenly but yes gradually
Just this 1 practise is enough

So wonderful I need to watch this again with my husband and kids. This is life changing thank you!
OMG that is the sweetest, thank you so much :)
Observing = intelligence (not observer)
observer = past = thought= comparing= fear
Love = compassion= intelligence= attention ❤
Simple = spiritual= understanding= magic
Wow, i was just observing your way of delivering the lecture and I am astonished to learn many things from how you delivered the lecture. The Content you presented was also awesome. Thanks for increasing my way of observing the things
Wow, thank you so much for your kind words. I am very humbled to know that I played a small part in that :)
Three Steps :
1) Create a distance with your mind
2) Keep yourself open - for new information and experience
3) Become a non-judgmental observer
Our ego always shows us movies either from past or future or comments about present or make any in-general comments like,
Do I look good ?, Am I smart enough? , You are not disciplined at all ! etc.
We have to imagine ourselves sitting in the extreme backseat of a movie theater just looking at the movie our ego is playing on projector, listen to what he is saying without any judgment and welcome new experiences and information through the doors of the theater which are now more closer to us than our ego as we are at the extreme backseat.
WOW !! Just wow! She went straight to the point and delivered it so effectively. A true Urban Monk!!
Wow are your words, thank you so much 🙏🏼
Im glad ive came across this!
Profound. How the world would benefit on an individual and global level if millions more people watched this. xxx
Tedx is a biggest teacher on youtube
thank you so much for this!!!
Excellent speech, but practically It's so tough! Thanks.
I saw these for fourth time to understand the content .How to accept chaos n be peaceful Thank you.
Also have fallen in love with you.
I love you SH😍
Seda head, you have made me become more aware.Thanks
Great Talk thank you
Observe your thoughts and don't judge Brilliant 🙏

journaling will help you to organize your mind
Thank you for sharing.. This woman is so amazing..
Thank you so much for your kind words :)
This should have way more views!!!!!! Amazing
Reason is that many people are not observers more like participants.
“Empty your mind of all thoughts.
Let your heart be at peace.
Watch the turmoil of beings,
but contemplate their return."
- Lao Tzu
Super way of putting it.
Brilliant !!
Thank you so much for your kind words :)
I find great peace when I observe my thoughts. I'm confused between observing my thoughts or focusing on my present self. I don't know what to do.
6:29🎯 viola 👍

Thank you so much I need this😊
I loved this... Thank you for sharing! Broadened perspective

i don’t really understand how to do it
Wait ego I don’t want to lose this moment
haha yes always aim to be in the moment :)
They did a study on the messages that the brain sends to the heart..
and somehow discovered that the heart sends more messages to the brain, than it receives.. by a bunch.
They didn’t know why, nor did any of the researchers dare speculate the reasons for this
I myself thought right from the possible reason..
the observer is within the heart, and the reason throughout history things were always heartfelt.. or in your heart of hearts you knew
Infant the strongest feelings of what is right, or wrong.. let alone the falling in love..
are all from your heart, and seems to always shape your thoughts, long before the what some say is rational thinking, that you may think is in your brain..?
Any chance of this being the observer? It makes you think
I love it ♥️✨
Excellent

How is it ethical to chase peace at the expense of someone else’s peace ?
4:15

How can you feel peace and satisfaction of your success if it contributes to someone having less success?
What if we create what we think about by doing what we have to do with what we have the power to do and we’re in a country to do that when by doing it down the track is taking things from people from another country who don’t have the power to create what they think about. WHO gets to decide?
Best video. Our mind chatter is prison. Let's just get out of it. 💪

I also wants to know the answer did you get answer

Awareness is worth a look
You are right
I completely disagree but i watched till the end bc she is thick

Ain't pushing play
Unless ypur thoughts were about inner peace.
