Power Posing

[in vivo]

Can your posture change your body chemistry? Yes.

 

Here's a ten minute TED Talk that will show you how to lower your stress levels (right now) in only two minutes:

Only 2 minutes of a power pose increases testosterone, and lowers cortisol (stress hormone)! 

 

Don't take my word for it.

 

Try it yourself.

Learn how to use biofeedback and you can control your stress instantly.

I'm all for that. Vipsassna meditation has allowed me to become more conscious of my sensations. Equanimity is where it's at, or so they tell me.  

 

For those of us who aren't quite zen as often as we'd like, this is a highly accessible life hack. It's been repeated proven, is free, and requires nothing more than to become conscious of your posture, and possibly change it for two minutes.

Vivo, I've been a meditator for many years and have done a number of ten day Vipassana meditations both here in Michigan and elsewhere. 

 

Anytime we become more aware of our bodies and the things our mind is doing, the better off we are.

 

Enjoyed the post... thanks!

 

PS.  'It' was never hidden... we just couldn't get out of our own way to see it.  Peace.

I agree completely. 

 

I've been through a couple ten day courses. It's been five or six years since my last. I don't meditate as much as I should, but I'm content with my progress.

Glad to hear it.

 

Sometimes feeling good is good enough.

I've been in a permanent meditative state since 2009.

 

I just recently came out of it.

But Zen again... hoping that's a good thing for ya?

A Zen master once said to me, "Do the opposite of whatever I tell you."
So I didn't.

 

Zen is not easy.  It takes effort to attain nothingness.

And then what do you have?

I love TED talks, the topics are so wide-ranging.
