02:49 Why mindfulness and meditation have only started to gain momentum in the West

�The world is smaller with the smartphone�

Scott started his meditation practice when he was just 13 years old

It�s mainstream that most people have at least tried meditation

04:55 What drew Scott to meditation at such a young age

He grew up in a religious household, but discovered spiritual contemplation practice from his brother, and it resonated with him much more

06:56 What Scott practices

He uses the mantra �hu�, like �ohm�

These are �charged words�, which carries a certain energy to them

Meditation is often passive

09:57 The meaning of spirituality

Rumi � �Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it�

Operationalised compassion

Seeking and having your own mantra captures your own being

15:16 The benefits of meditation and mindfulness

�I am a better version of myself�

Happiness is things that happen to you, whilst joy comes from within

20:44 How much of the meditation practice is about letting go?

It�s important to set your intentions for each of your practices

24:16 What is mindfulness?

Mindfulness is seeing things clearly

We often focus on things that go wrong or that we need to be fixed � but that is not the reality

26:32 Bringing mindfulness to the workplace

LinkedIn felt like a safe enough place for Scott to bring mindfulness and meditation to the workplace

Scott volunteered to run meditation sessions at LinkedIn for several years

It then turned into a full-time role � Head of Mindfulness and Compassion at LinkedIn

LinkedIn had 50 � 60 regular meditation sessions around the world

Scott�s focus now is operationalising compassion at work

It�s the company�s responsibility to give their employees the space and tools for meditation and be mindful

�We should be spending a hundred times on mental wellbeing as we are on physical wellbeing�

34:02 Scott�s recent book �The Full Body Yes: Change Your Work and Your World from the Inside Out�

�We are responsible for our own joy�

It�s a challenging truth

36:48 The Four Step Action Plan

Compassion is about being aware of others, having the mindset of wishing kindness, and having the courage to take action

It is easy to understand but hard to put into regular practice

40:05 Creating a sustainable meditation practice

Be clear with your intentions and vision

Associate the value to achieving it, e.g. what if you could eliminate 95% of your fears, etc � what price would you pay for that?

Build systems to create change

Scott meditates outside, at the same place and time

44:25 How can we cultivate stillness?

Even if you are in a busy environment, simply take one deep breath and exhale

�Learn to stand in the fire�

47:46 Growth and self-expression

The only way for the soul to express itself is through the human part � the body

Listen to the language that you use

Notice when you feel most alive
