Easy to understand presentation explaining how meditation works in the mind

Came across this on another forum I visit sometimes...

Thought it was exceptionally accurate description of the benefits of meditation.

D Z,
Thanks for posting that.
I can immediately think of a couple people I can show this to in order to explain why I meditate. I often have trouble trying to explain to non-meditators how it works, and why it is beneficial.

Metta,

Brian.

I really liked the presentation.

I do have a few criticisms though.
I don't think it made a good job of connecting the first and second part of the presentation.
And ideally, it should talk a little more about what is this "technique of mindfulness".

I am not the creator of the video, but a new long version is out. It does a much better job at connecting the first and second parts of the presentation.

Books have been written on mindfulness meditation techniques are probably outside the scope of a little presentation like this one.

But I think it is good for having a good framework to think about the connections between meditation, inner peace, and morality.
