00:00:01.620 --> 00:00:04.170
hi and welcome back so you may

2
00:00:04.170 --> 00:00:06.120
be wondering where and mbs or came

3
00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:08.040
from and how it came to play

4
00:00:08.040 --> 00:00:10.590
such an important role in the growth

5
00:00:10.620 --> 00:00:13.200
of mindfulness in recent decades and that's

6
00:00:13.200 --> 00:00:14.550
what we're going to explore in this

7
00:00:14.550 --> 00:00:17.010
lesson and to do so we need

8
00:00:17.010 --> 00:00:19.050
to start with the founder of mbs

9
00:00:19.050 --> 00:00:20.100
are who

10
00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:23.040
his jon kabat zinn and he has

11
00:00:23.040 --> 00:00:26.190
a phd in molecular biology from mit

12
00:00:26.190 --> 00:00:29.610
massachusetts institute of technology and is also

13
00:00:29.610 --> 00:00:32.820
professor emeritus at the university of massachusetts

14
00:00:32.820 --> 00:00:36.480
medical center so very accomplished scientist and

15
00:00:36.480 --> 00:00:39.780
professor who happened to also have very

16
00:00:39.780 --> 00:00:40.320
extensive

17
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:46.020
live experience and commitment in both meditation

18
00:00:46.020 --> 00:00:48.330
and yoga and what he could see

19
00:00:48.330 --> 00:00:51.030
was that his practices his mindfulness practice

20
00:00:51.030 --> 00:00:53.250
is could be applied in a way

21
00:00:53.250 --> 00:00:56.460
that could be very useful very meaningful

22
00:00:56.790 --> 00:00:59.491
to people who have chronic pain who

23
00:00:59.491 --> 00:01:00.480
were basically at

24
00:01:00.480 --> 00:01:03.180
the end of modern medicines ability to

25
00:01:03.180 --> 00:01:04.680
help them with their chronic pain

26
00:01:05.310 --> 00:01:08.700
and so he proposed offering mindfulness and

27
00:01:08.700 --> 00:01:11.400
yoga to patients with chronic pain and

28
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:13.830
doctors who are treating those patients were

29
00:01:13.830 --> 00:01:16.860
interested and so mbs are took root

30
00:01:16.890 --> 00:01:19.590
this was in nineteen seventy nine and

31
00:01:19.620 --> 00:01:22.770
it was designed as a compliment to

32
00:01:22.770 --> 00:01:25.410
traditional medicine so while it came

33
00:01:25.440 --> 00:01:28.560
from buddhist practices and yoga it was

34
00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:32.280
very intentionally designed to be nonreligious to

35
00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:37.740
be inclusive and accessible to everyone regardless

36
00:01:37.800 --> 00:01:39.210
of one's background

37
00:01:39.930 --> 00:01:43.163
so it was created in a scientific

38
00:01:43.380 --> 00:01:46.620
medical setting it was never meant to

39
00:01:46.650 --> 00:01:49.920
replace traditional medicine but rather to be

40
00:01:49.950 --> 00:01:52.620
a supplement to traditional medicine something that

41
00:01:52.890 --> 00:01:55.050
someone could we've into their care

42
00:01:55.950 --> 00:01:56.670
to help them

43
00:01:57.780 --> 00:02:00.990
and so as a scientist in a

44
00:02:00.990 --> 00:02:04.110
scientific setting the program right out of

45
00:02:04.110 --> 00:02:06.450
the gate was designed to be studied

46
00:02:06.990 --> 00:02:09.390
and so there's data that goes back

47
00:02:09.390 --> 00:02:11.370
to the inception of mbs are over

48
00:02:11.370 --> 00:02:14.880
many decades that shows a wide range

49
00:02:14.880 --> 00:02:17.760
of benefits so there's both scientific day

50
00:02:17.760 --> 00:02:20.790
ada an anecdotal evidence that mbs are

51
00:02:20.790 --> 00:02:23.220
can be very effective way of addressing

52
00:02:23.220 --> 00:02:27.660
chronic pain anxiety depression stress reduction and

53
00:02:27.660 --> 00:02:32.940
much more and this combination of ah

54
00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:37.080
scientific data and anecdotal stories spread very

55
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:37.650
quickly

56
00:02:37.920 --> 00:02:40.410
and mbs are began to expand from

57
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:44.493
one hospital and university setting widely with

58
00:02:44.493 --> 00:02:46.020
the in the medical arena

59
00:02:46.590 --> 00:02:48.990
and then more broadly into mental health

60
00:02:48.990 --> 00:02:52.500
care and then beyond and so now

61
00:02:52.500 --> 00:02:53.850
we see and be a sovereign of

62
00:02:53.850 --> 00:02:57.180
course mindfulness in general broadly in many

63
00:02:57.180 --> 00:03:01.320
different environments in workplace settings in government

64
00:03:01.350 --> 00:03:03.990
in education and beyond

65
00:03:05.130 --> 00:03:07.470
so that wraps up our brief look

66
00:03:07.500 --> 00:03:09.630
at the history of mbs arm where

67
00:03:09.630 --> 00:03:12.781
it came from next we'll explore how

68
00:03:12.781 --> 00:03:14.700
and be a are is relevant today
