Why Meditate? The Meditation Flashmob, MedMob Austin & Worldwide MedMob Austin was founded to bring groups of people together to meditate in public places such as the Capitol grounds, outside of a local health food store, in parks, university campuses and more. In a few short months the idea of Flash Mob Meditation went viral and people all over the world began coordinating worldwide group meditations. In this video, Patrick describes how MedMob began and their global vision. He also talks about why meditation is important to him and how meditation has helped him find inner peace and joy that helps him to handle the stress and pain of everyday life. A few of the 180 cties currently participating include: Austin, Seattle, San Francisco, Boulder, Washington DC, Brooklyn, New York City, Portland, and Chicago. Cities in Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Mexico, United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, France, Canada and Indonesia are also participating.

ajv214 @ 6:47 pm #

That's my city =)

ajv214 @ 7:36 pm #

@extazy17 Austin is actually one of the cleanest cities in the whole country so… But I hear what your saying.

lightthroughnight @ 7:37 pm #

I think it's a cool concept. Meditation has good health benefits, it has been scientifically verified. If you are concerned about the religious aspects of it, take that up with your spiritual mentor, whomever that may be. I know it makes me calmer, more focused, and less stressed.

guddaysunshine @ 8:28 pm #

If you meditate next to a busy curb, put a bright orange construction cone on your head.

strangevaleZZZ @ 9:10 pm #

Eso no lo podría hacer en la ciudad de México!!! :-)

kitty55chevy @ 9:52 pm #

So, flash mob, and med mob? huh. I didn't know an act usually associated with protest could become so fashionable…

gladiator1010 @ 9:56 pm #

I thought all this meditating yoga stuff was totally harmless until I watched Gods of the New Age….then I really started questioning what these people are truly doing

Why is Hinduism such a sneaky religion? Why don't they just come out and say yoga and meditating disciplines are very much a huge part of hinduism-buddhism? Why hide it?

People complain about Christianity being a "mindless" religion…yet these religions actually encourage-foster such a reality…true Christianity does not

PrimalRhythm @ 10:27 pm #

@rangerdanger222 Actually, this conversation has helped me. And I thank you for that. (No sarcasm intended.) Sometimes through strife and conflict we grow. I think it is hard for people to read me sometimes (plus add the Internet which can make it even more difficult to get a good read) because I try and avoid conflict; but this can create contradictions. I need to work on being more direct. Thanks for pointing that out.

mimique1111 @ 10:35 pm #

great description of meditation.

jason25k @ 11:24 pm #

That wouldn't work in chicsgo. I would hunk my horn at them lol

@fractald
to everything there is a season….
"only a sith deals in absolutes"…
in short, some things work well in a certain context or time, and badly in others.
grand realizations are there to be had with a conscious brain full of an anandamide-analog, if you use it in the right moment and context.
much time and focus are to be lost if you use it in the wrong context and moment.
are dreams just a game? what neurochemical state is "normal" or "productive"? what makes the distinction?

jazzplayer9 @ 1:10 am #

Namaste

rangerdanger222 @ 2:05 am #

@PrimalRhythm I'm not judging you, I'm judging your statements, which were contradictory. No one wanted to have this conversation less than I did. My intention was to be helpful.

tachibana190 @ 2:16 am #

wuh….feeling…

WHOAitssusan @ 2:51 am #

This sounds like me. I really feel like I may have social anxiety disorder.

steveyboy3333 @ 3:30 am #

I find you utterly fascinating , & intend to study all of your videos & I think there is a hidden comedian lurking deep w/ in you !

Zman3185 @ 4:07 am #

ive got avoidant personality but gurl just be u cuz i get the same treatment damn she sexy 2 me holla at me all women like this

aquateenman3 @ 4:55 am #

why sooo serious?

felixthemaster1 @ 4:57 am #

My name is felix and I have social anxiety. When i stand outside class waiting to be let in, i get nervous about others standing alogn and i always get paranoid about what they think of me and my bp rises off the roof and my ears get all red. This makes me even more nervous and causing me to be even more anxious where every second feels like a minute and I almost feel like a hear attack. I just want to stay at home with the internet and get food and stuff delivered to me all my life.

richeybee @ 5:33 am #

Don't judge yourself so hard sweet heart. Maybe you're not that funny, so what. People who are naturally funny need people who are laughers or people who they can be funny with so be one of those. Nothing wrong with being serious, some of the greatest people ever were serious.

txl43n @ 6:10 am #

The way to positive enlightenment is to be with people that would not judge u, accept u, and would encourage u. That was a rare thing when I had my social anxiety. My mind was my own enemy and there was no one intelligent to encourage me but judge me and think Im weird..
It is a hard thing to get over but u will thanks to the help of ignorant ppl. They make u want to prove them wrong and they make u stronger.

cartotonist @ 6:57 am #

Cute girls with social anxiety turn me on

sigur95 @ 7:51 am #

i hate it when i finally let myself loose and i eavesdrop a negative comment about me… it's completely shattering and cripples me for the rest of the day, possibly week, or even month…

alsahri055 @ 8:02 am #

i love u 

bongo613 @ 8:05 am #

so when she says you cant trust yourself im thinking…..umm if you cant trust yourself then who do you trust when you cant trust anyboy else?? i mean i know she means well but still lets get real

MrJJ4000 @ 8:42 am #

Wait, epiphany!!! Don't be afraid to laugh AT YOURSELF!!! Not funny enough? Moping around thinking about how much you suck? Well then go out and be terrible. Enjoy yourself, laugh at yourself and have others laugh with you.

MrJJ4000 @ 9:08 am #

Okay, first. If you are good looking, people are more likely to feel shy or uncomfortable than laugh at what you say. Secondly, being a bit mad doesn't hurt your chances, and it helps to understand what kind of things the people around you laugh at. Thirdly, don't be afraid to be creepy, when you exaggerate certain things or make a sly fleeting comment, certain people will react differently, some bad and good. And finally, don't be anxious to look like an idiot. People will respect your guts :)

MusikkIzMiLiffee @ 9:14 am #

I'm VERY funny and the funniest in my group of friends and ima girl :D I'm also outgoing and everything but sometimes I'm to serious and think I'm being judged a lot in public.. xD But still yeah I'm pretty outgoing when with friends

needparalegal @ 10:07 am #

Firstly, no one cares if women are funny or witty. Sure its a plus but very rare in women. Secondly, even if you are not funny when you are young you may get funny with age. Hang out with funny people and it will rub off on you.

j0ach1m2 @ 10:44 am #

You shuldnt hate yourself :( let me say it as it is: Your beautfiful, you have a wonderful voice' your funny, your problaly smart" and your really worth watching on youtube :) .

Have an amazing week:b.

FuryC0oly @ 11:21 am #

Watched it only cuz ur pretty :D

sadsawdas2 @ 12:10 pm #

you cant be serious

WickedKnight07 @ 12:12 pm #

@celtic4ever18 So how can we stop thinking too much? Thats my biggest problem and I'm honest enough to admit that I'm letting it ruin my life. I would like to go out make some new friends and stuff but my anxiety keeps wrecking my confidence.

agrl20 @ 12:30 pm #

@Piccadillyo BOOOOO thumbs down for you!!

agrl20 @ 12:54 pm #

@Emadov12121 You just had to throw in a insult before a compliment didn't you? :-/ Oh well…I think her videos are beautiful!! AND she is a beautiful person!! 2 positives! YAYYAYAY!!

NoSocialAnxiety @ 1:00 pm #

@Piccadillyo You're right it was probably not totally fair to make an assumption about your character. Well it's true there are many areas I am ignorant in. You're right that Maybe I am an ignorant person.
