After discovering Ted Talks about 2 years ago, I instantly became enthused. One of the talks I watched recently effected my thoughts and habits a great deal. The typical understanding of meditation is to clear the mind completely of all thought for a certain duration of time. This is what I believed until I watched Andy Puddicombe's talk, "All it takes is 10 mindful minutes."

In his talk you find out that this style of meditation is actually quite different from stopping all the thoughts in your brain, but actually, "Allowing thought to come and go without the usual involvement. Familiarizing ourself with the present moment."
As intrigued as I was by this new information, I dug deeper into Andy's research and found his website:

I have found these methods and guided meditations extremely helpful so far in my life and I believe it can help everyone increase their happiness presence of mind.
Love, Mitch
