I can't believe this Powerful information is free!!!! Thank you !!

Fantastic lecture here and so well articulated. Loved the live demo too! It put out the message so nicely.
whoa i wasn't expecting the end! This is actually the most epic introduction to cardiac coherence breathing you can ever tell someone to convince them to try! :D
*"We know too well that our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians."* Nelson Mandela After seeing this very powerful message from Nelson Mendela I was crying!
Brilliant talk. Perfect ! I love it.
I got clarity what feeling, emotion etc. are and how it works ... I was looking for this knowledge for long time...brilliant...
Best demonstration of Heart Math I've seen. Thank you for the brilliant presentation!
I listened to this talk a month ago and I was impressed by how well-articulated and comprehensive it is. I am currently learning more about Decision Making and I am fascinated by the acute intersections between this talk and Kahneman's work. In essence, being brilliant every day mandates improving our System 2 thinking which is often lazy and limited. The steps Dr. Alan Watkins has described can regulate the physiological changes we experience when we are faced with challenging problems, increase our efficiency, and improve our results. Of course, It all takes awareness, practice, and time to master.
OMG best TED talk ever. Loved the live demo.
Alan your TedX talk all those years ago has really stood the test of time. It's so wonderful that this short explanation has helped and continues to help so many people all over the world.
Brilliant Lecture... Very enjoyable and informative. A well spoken man.
Fantastic Lecture. Thank you Dr. Watkins.
Don't forget to check Part 2. He explains there how can you regulate your emotions, feelings, thinking through your physiology.
Json nd where is the part 2????
Fernando Lessa It's recommended around the videos below this video.
Thanks for mentioning it!
Thank you. I didn't even see the part 1 in the title so when it ended, I was like, wait a minute. You can't explain what's going on and then not tell us how to do it. Going to watch part 2 right now. 😛
Kids you tube
Oh my god! Exactly what i needed! 😘
Very well demonstrated. Frontal Labotomy? Explains the physical pains there, I experienced under stress today. Also a good reason to keep meditating daily. Thank you.
11 years later and this is proving to be more and more true, relevant, and useful. Amazing presentation!
just brilliant! thank you so much!! amazing
Interesting stuff!!! Coping mechanisms we have affect our behaviour so much without us realizing.
Great talk really, I have listen to many talks on ted x... This was one of the best and extremely informative!
one of the most useful speeches I have seen.
Bingo! You just cracked it! The Best Secret for Brilliance at work!
Getting a grip on this heart rate variability issue is one of the most helpful things I have ever done
Dr Watkins is spot on. If I could describe it in other words, its a form of inner standing where you go within yourself and actually start to observe all your emotions and feelings. I dont know how you flick the button on but there is a button. And once you do? your performance and analytical thinking dramatically rises. I am experiencing this everyday, but did not think it was a process until I came across this talk. But my ability to do absolutely anything I set my mind to has actually improved. Maybe there is something to this theory 😊👌
K FYI do
Language and Organs share brain areas. This is why when Neil heard some specific words, his heart rate started to change. We can control our organs by removing Anxiety created by everyday events, through re-defining the meaning of these events using logic - what do they mean? is there any danger? how should I plan to overcome dangers and be safe? what skills should I Improve? What lessons do I need to learn? How can I share my experiences with others in a coherent language?

Thanks for the breathing techniques they work. I've tried other types of breathing techniques but this works the best. Simple and gets the job done.
im addicted to these ted thingy now..we need to have this thing in my country..
Excellent presentation. His work goes very much in line with the work of Heartmath. COHERENCE is the key.
Dr Watkins wrote a lot of the research for Heartmath and helped them establish a presence in Europe.
It seems based or related to Dr Stephen Porges’ theory of the nervous system.
We are complex beings for sure. Helpful. It makes sense when the breathing technique comes into place, the whole mindset changes, change the physiology, change the behavior. Thanks Dr. Watson!
Really enjoy your presentation Dr Alan ..tq so much 🙏
That was fantastic and super insightful. Loved it!
I enjoyed this talk - informative and enlivening. Before I watch part 2, I've a question, why should we want to be brilliant every single day?
One of the best Ted Talks ever done.
by this logic every ted talk is the best one ever done, because there is a comment like this under every damn ted talk video.
Recommended by shohag vaiya 🥰🥰
Absolutely great video! Thanks!
interesting, but I would have liked to see hear an example of how you solved a problem by being aware of these ideas rather than a demonstration that kinda confirms what we would have already expected.
Amazing talk , really informative.
Great talk! The coherence he speaks of is referred to in yoga as alignment of thought/ feeling/ word/ action to function optimally and with ease (as opposed to incoherent/misaligned states that may lead to dis-ease).
Self discipline and work ethic
Wow!
thanks for your talk. helped with my coaching people.

A theoretic talk that makes your feeling and communication more complex. You can change you state in the blink of an eye by focusing on what you want and taking action.
+Vikas Chopra I actually agreed with you from the beginning, but then I watched the second half of the video. I thought you were right cause there's so many things we can't change in this world that what matters is that we just have to take the first step and do it. My friend, though, I personally believe that only applies to short-term development. What drove me to come here in the first place was because I was finding the reason of why we do what we do. I needed this talk badly cause my emotions were stopping me from progressing lately. I am in my 20s
The truth is simple and it's sets you free from the complexities in life. If the talk did you good then that's to your benefit. I found it ambiguous and unhelpful. Please read my next statement carefully. We are all driven by pain and pleasure and your emotions are linked to this fact. Asking effective questions and mind mastery is the second key to success. What do you really want?
Vikas31 Chopra Thank you, friend. I don't know what I want yet, but I am aware of what I should be looking for to do great work. I need to look for inspiration in what I do (similar to a painter being fascinated by art).
Thank you. Very helpful and clear about how to breathe! Good to teach our children from an early age!
Are you talking to me?
Searched for this video after watching Shohag vai's video... anyone else?😃
dr Allan Watkins is a brilliant scientist,a brilliant thinker and a brilliant expositor ....if i was a billionaire i would make the ground breaking talks on the TED x show available in every format available to every young impressionable mind around..this is the new Agora--- the internet Agora set on the city state of the world
pseudoscience and neurology are not the same thing.
*Summary:* key = Heart Rate Variability Chain of motivations for action: Improving performance => behavioural change => Thought change => Feelings change => Emotional change => physiological change (Feelings are different to emotions) Therefore, consistent performance is reliant on physiological control. -Measure of physiological effects is 'heart rate variability'. Chaotic variability causes cortical inhibition, drastically reducing performance.
What an engaging point of reference, love how the science demonstrates exactly what the bran does under pressure!
Would that be the wheat bran or oat bran under pressure you speak of? 😉
He's brilliant and genius.
Alan I think I'm in love. Best explanation of human behaviour I've ever read, heard etc. Googling you now! Please please have a book published :)
He did published a book!! "Coherence - The Secret Science of Brilliant Leadership"

Wow, that’s the most interesting and important TEDX talk I have heard on KZhead for ages, brilliant in fact. So much relatable stuff about what, why and how the psychological and physiological processes are affecting virtually every aspect of the living activity of consciousness and behaviour, physically and mentally every minute of the waking state and probably also the resting/sleeping states. Alan has a great grip on what he’s putting forward verbally in quite a succinct and quirky manner, backed up by the old butchers paper hand written diagrams that are very effective. I would score his presentations at 98%, taking 2% off for the accent. I am looking forward to viewing part 2 most enthusiastically, Cheers
He has a lovely accent.
@@MassiveChetBakerFan Yeah sorry, but I am an Aussie and we don’t hear much of cultured voice tones.
See my new comment, he totally misses the layer that underlies physiology
To me the accent makes it more official.....lol
Многие израильтяне уже стали понимать, что противоречия в нашем обществе не сводятся только к различиям между правыми и левыми, сефардами и ашкеназами, светскими-и религиозными, евреями-и палестинцами. Нет, речь идет о конфликте более глубоком. Наблюдаемое в последнее время противостояние вокруг судебной системы является лишь проявлением этого фундаментального раскола: в Израиле идет борьба западноевропейской и восточноазиатской цивилизаций, противостояние двух больших культурных общностей, с разными идеалами, системой ценностей, мировоззрением, понятиями. Конечно, к какой из этих систем относится человек, зависит не только от его происхождения. Какая-то часть израильтян из восточных общин является носителями европейских представлений, а определенная часть ашкеназов руководствуется восточными понятиями. Доказательством наличия в Израиле двух больших лагерей является, например, следующее: одна сторона не может перенести, чтобы главой правительства был обманщик, человек, против которого выдвинуты уголовные обвинения, а второй это не мешает, главное, что он свой, из нашего лагеря, племени, сектора и т.п. Одной не важен этнический состав той или иной государственной комиссии или победителей конкурса, главное, чтобы это были специалисты, а их решения - эффективные и справедливые. А для другой интерес прежде всего в этническом составе (и это после 75 лет существования еврейского государства). Одна не может принять распространенную коррупцию, а для другой это нормальные отношения в обществе. Одна не согласна, чтобы суд был зависим от политиков, а другую это устраивает. Одна требует разделения властей, чтобы судьбы страны не решал один человек или одна группа. А для другой такое устройство наиболее приемлемое. Для одной возмутительно, что семья премьера участвует в решении важнейших государственных дел, а другая относится к этому как к допустимому при царском дворе. Хорошим примером отличия западноевропейского и восточноазиатского мировоззрений является разное отношение людей вообще к закону и делам, связанным с коррупцией, в частности - на примере судов над Арье Дери и Эхудом Ольмертом. Когда Дери был осужден за получение взяток и приговорен к тюремному заключению, это не помешало ему быть очень популярным общественным деятелем среди многотысячных носителей восточноазиатской системы взглядов и потом еще сделать блестящую политическую карьеру. То же самое случилось и когда он обманул суд и всю страну, взяв обязательство прекратить политическую деятельность, чтобы не понести наказания, но затем отказался выполнять свое обещание. Это совершенно не сказалось на его авторитете среди его сторонников, он остается лидером партии ШАС и одним из самых влиятельных политиков в стране. Абсолютно противоположная реакция была на судебное дело Ольмерта. Ему пришлось уйти с должности главы правительства, резко упала его популярность среди носителей западной системы ценностей, он лишился поддержки даже среди политических сторонников. А сейчас мы видим разное отношение представителями двух культур к судебным делам Нетаниягу. Проявлением указанного разлада является и то, что самые важные жизненные факторы слабо влияют на политические предпочтения большой части населения, особенно право-религиозного электората. Так, темы безопасности, дороговизны жизни, в том числе жилья, все наболевшие острые социальные вопросы оказываются не главными при выборе кандидата, за которого они решили отдать свой голос. Существующее слишком большое различие между двумя частями населения является причиной мощного внутреннего конфликта. Обычно такой конфликт разрешается жестким противостоянием и даже насилием. Кажется это самый серьезный вызов для Израиля со времени его создания. Когда перед нашим государством стояла задача выжить, была угроза самому существованию страны, это противостояние сглаживалось, гасилось. Сейчас оно всплыло, оголилось, обострилось. Без излишней политкорректности, можно заявить, что сейчас в Израиле идет противоборство не между правыми и левыми, а между прогрессивной и развитой частью населения и отсталой и реакционной. Бывший премьер-министр Англии Лиз Трасс сказала, что сейчас в мире идет борьба между разными общественными моделями: демократиями и автократиями. Внутри Израиля развернулась аналогичная борьба. Европейское устройство, которое реализовали создатели нашего государства, теперь подвергается атаке и изменению в соответствии с состоянием общества и уровнем развития большинства населения, во многом соответствующего странам третьего мира. В муках и противоречиях формируется свое собственное общественное устройство. Именно борьба двух цивилизаций ялась основным смыслом избирательных кампаний последних лет. Победил право-религиозный лагерь во главе с Нетаниягу. Если эта победа окончательная и либеральный протест потерпит поражение, то страна пойдет ускоренным темпом к одной из форм автократии. Будут внешние атрибуты современного европейского устройства, а по сути - возврат к примитивной форме демократии, когда в обществе нет противовесов, все решает большинство. Так стоит вопрос о том, какой будет наша страна: отсталой и реакционной, передовой и прогрессивной.

Sohag vai ❤
I will tell you my experience with quitting smoking. When I was a smoker I'd enjoy it, but one thing that bugged the hell out of me was the smell. I am almost fanatically focused on cleanliness, so my quitting smoking became not a focus on quitting smoking, but a focus on how much I hated the smell of tabacco in my clothes, hands and especially my mouth. Focusing on that made me so sick and angry at the thought of smoking that quitting became just the by-product of my heightened aversion to it.
Loved your talk Alan, so many points covered and entertaining too. Smiles from The English Sisters P.s part two is a must watch!
Enjoyed the expressions Dr. Alan explains with ! -- I'm feeling alright :o
To sum up...A stable mood is the most resourceful state for functioning well.
leaders need a lot of energy feeling is an awareness of the emotion emotion is the sum of motions(energy) happening inside the body physiology is the motions happening inside the body
This is fantastic talk... I keep coming back 2 watch it
That was very enlightening. It goes to show just how much control other people can have over you. This emphasizes the importance of confidence and why you need to stop caring what others think, say and do to you.
I just leanred about this from Shohag vai. Great things/
i learned a lot about this playing poker
Part 2 of this could possible be the most relevant and important piece of information on the planet. He should explain way more rather than stop. It's like saying here's how everybody on the planet can feel fantastic all the time but I only have time to get you half way at the moment.
This is surely a teaser to find out more.
helps to know WHY we need to breathe slowly. great talk.
A Spectacular speech.
Thanks Suitably digested. Especially given I am reading dr pulmaters view on the gut. Thanks though!
who is watching this from Sohag vai's class..
Same here! :D
Same 🙂
THE TALKS ENDS WITH THE MOST INTERESTING PART!! HE SHOULD STARTED WITH THAT!!
I love this guy ..
I must have missed the part of the "demonstration" where he proved that rhythmic breathing improves performance.
I think there's a part 2. I haven't watched, I was just reading the comments.
Timeless wisdom.Thank you for sharing. Namaste ✨
It’s brilliant explanation Doc thanks
Excellent lecture. Very educative.
Wow! Anyone here whose read the book, breaking the habit of being yourself by Dr Joe Dispenza, I am sure you would be able to relate to this.
Absolutely!! All on the same page!
How do I get PAST THE MID POINT ??? How do I keep breathing like that WHILE PERFORMING ON STAGE?
I need to revise this video cuz I often over think so I need to master this so that I'm gooooood
He gives us food for thought. .
04:04 Watching this on a Friday, it's like he's talking to me! LOL
haha

My Family, & I have been denyed Justice. It would Bless Your Future. A Spirit Warrior's Salute To You!!! We Are Destined For HOLY GREATNESS!!! HEAVEN IS HOLY HOLY GLORIOUS!!!
So the final conclusion is not being under pressure, now the question is how you do/achieve that without being under pressure?! LoL Brilliant talk though, it magically made me happy somehow :)

Thank you!
So it is really the raw emotion that you have to work on. Apply that approach to what you want to get/do/be and you'll get your goal as a by-product. And indeed this is the way, because sometimes you really have to stop thinking about what you want to quit, as it is with smoking. Focusing on quitting smoking will only make you want to smoke some more. I hope this helps.
*Thiking and feeling go hand in hand. Feelings and emotions are not the same. Thinking and feeling aren’t the same thing. You must get a grip of every single level.. Emotion is energy. Feeling is just awareness. It would have been nice if he had stated the consanguineous of a staying under pressure for a prolonged time, and how to deal with it or prevent it.
Brilliant!
Super and very well explained!
Very useful! Happens when we are about to perform!
