Reframing Rejection | Luna Molla | TEDxRansomEvergladesSchool

NOTE FROM TED: This talk represents the speaker's personal religious views and understanding of meditation and the mind. The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/t...
Our thoughts often seem to be the end all be all when we create our perspective towards our outside world. Our emotions and expectations contribute, which creates a combination that can be a challenge to overcome. Feelings like rejection can feel all-consuming in the moment, only to become nothing more than a bump in the road later in the future. Finding the balance between the extremes of the mind’s fluctuations is the key to creating a unique middle path for each individual. Luna shows how she uses her experience with Buddhism to cope with these feelings, and ride the ups and downs of the mind. Since Pre-K, Luna's love for literature has grown, starting with Ivy and Bean books. Her passion for reading and writing blossomed early. Introduced to Buddhism and meditation at six, she's embraced mindfulness, Pranayama, and Vinyasa yoga daily. Known for her "Peace Practice," Luna combines mental, physical, and spiritual self-care, creating a nurturing environment for herself and others from a young age. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
