1
Suppose you read about a pill that you could take once a day to reduce anxiety and increase your contentment.
2
Would you take it?
3
Suppose further that the pill has a great variety of side effects, all of them good: increased self-esteem, empathy, and trust; it even improves memory.
4
Suppose, finally, that the pill is all natural and costs nothing.
5
Now would you take it?
6
The pill exists.
7
It's called meditation.
8
Meditation can sometimes seem very complicated and difficult to learn.
9
However that shouldn't be the case.
10
A lot of people think mediation is just for hippies or monks, but that's not true.
11
It has nothing to do with religion or spiritual practice.
12
Actually it has been scientifically proven to be the best exercise for keeping a healthy mind.
13
It trains the brain as if gray matter were a bundle of muscles.
14
You work those muscles and they get stronger.
15
Just 10 minutes of meditation a day, can have huge physical and mental benefits.
16
Today I'm going to teach you, exactly how to meditate and get those benefits.
17
First: Pick a spot.
18
Pick a quiet location, somewhere nobody will distract you.
19
I simply use my room, because it's quiet and there are no distractions.
20
If you live in a noisy environment, meditate early in the morning or before you hit the bed.
21
Usually people are asleep and nobody will bother you.
22
Now pick where you're going to sit: It can be on the chair, on the floor, on your bed..
23
Wherever you can sit comfortably.
24
I usually do it sitting on the floor, on a pillow.
25
Second: Set a time Before you begin, you should decide how long you are going to meditate.
26
Many seasoned meditators recommend twenty minute sessions a day.
27
As a beginner, meditating every day is far more important than the amount of time per day.
28
Try to aim for 5 minutes daily to begin, either when you wake up, or before you go to bed.
29
It's way more beneficial to meditate for 5 minutes each day, than to meditate for 30 minutes once a week.
30
Start small then slowly work your way up to 10 or even 20 minutes every day.
31
Don't just decide how long you're going to meditate, but also set an alarm before you do.
32
You want to avoid thinking about the time and checking your watch if those 5 minutes have passed.
33
You will notice that during meditation, time seems to move slower than usual.
34
Third: Posture.
35
Some meditators say your legs should be on top of each other, in a lotus position.
36
But for the beginners it's ok if you just criss cross them.
37
Like this. Now whether you sit on a chair or cross-legged on the floor, make sure that your spine is upright with head up.
38
Traditional analogies say that your spine should be like an arrow or a stack of coins, one on top of the other.
39
You want to feel uplifted when you sit down to meditate.
40
However it is still important that you are comfortable, relaxed, and your torso is balanced so that way, your spine supports all of your weight in a natural way.
41
Rolling back your shoulders should help a bit.
42
The traditional hand placement involves resting your hands in your lap, palms facing upward, with your right hand on top of your left, forming a cup shape.
43
However, your can also just rest your hands on your knees or leave them hanging down by your side - whichever you prefer.
44
Close your eyes.
45
While it is very possible to meditate with eyes open, I don’t suggest it.
46
As a beginner you might get distracted by any external visual stimulation that prevents you from focusing on calming your mind.
47
Now after you're all set: Pick an anchor.
48
An anchor is what you basically use to point your attention at.
49
You want to bring your mind back to this anchor whenever it wanders and believe me, it will wander.
50
You can focus on your breath, you can focus on a mantra, you can count to ten and then repeat.
51
I personally love to follow my breath.
52
Just place the attention on your breath as it comes in, and follow it through your nose all the way down to your lungs.
53
Notice how the body moves with each inhalation and exhalation.
54
Notice the movement of your body as you breathe.
55
Observe your chest, shoulders, rib cage, and belly.
56
Simply focus your attention on your breath without controlling its pace or intensity.
57
When your mind wanders, which it will, simply bring your attention back to the anchor.
58
You can also try counting your breaths.
59
Count “one” as you take in the first breath, then “two” as you breathe out.
60
Repeat this to the count of 10, then start again at one.
61
When you notice your mind wandering simply return to your anchor.
62
Count “one” again, and start over.
63
It’s perfectly OK to not stay focused, we all do it.
64
Many people worry whether or not they're doing the meditation right.
65
You can't really do it wrong.
66
Meditation is only a technique for relaxing your mind and body.
67
Don't get upset with yourself if your mind is racing constantly.
68
During meditation you will start thinking about what you should be doing, all your troubles and worried will pop up, you might even realize that you're hungry.
69
The point of meditation is not to stop all thoughts, although that can happen.
70
The goal is to notice them, acknowledge them and gently push them away.
71
Basically: The whole game is just to notice when your mind is wandering and to come back to your breath, over and over and over...And when you do that, it is a bicep curl for your brain.
72
Thanks for watching.

ステップバイステップのシャドウイングガイド
このビデオの内容を利用して、英語のスピーキング力を向上させるための具体的な方法を紹介します。
- 一時停止して繰り返す: ビデオを少しずつ再生し、スピーカーの言葉を一時停止してリピートします。たとえば、「毎日5分の瞑想」というフレーズで、一時停止して自分の声で発音してみましょう。
- 視覚と聴覚を使用: ビジュアルに関連した要素があるビデオでは、サポートとして視覚情報を活用します。瞑想のポーズや環境をイメージしながら学ぶことで、記憶に定着しやすくなります。
- 発音チェック: スピーカーの発音に耳を傾け、模倣します。特に「呼吸に集中しましょう」という部分の強調点を意識してみましょう。
- 実践の定期化: 瞑想を日常に取り入れ、実際に体験することで、学んだフレーズを使うタイミングを増やします。YouTubeで英語学習を続けることで、自然と習慣化できるはずです。
- フィードバックを受ける: 学習仲間や先生に自分の発音を確認してもらい、改善点を教えてもらいましょう。IELTS スピーキング対策にも役立ちます。
このようにして、shadow speakの手法を使うことで、効果的に日常会話力を高めていくことが可能です。
シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
