NOTE FROM TED: Please do not look to this talk as a substitute for mental health advice. While some viewers may find this talk helpful as a complementary approach, this talk only represents the speaker's personal views and understanding/interpretation of mindfulness. We've flagged this talk because it falls outside the content guidelines TED gives TEDx organizers. TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers.

In the rat-race to acquire happiness through all kinds of consumables, we all have become oblivious to the super power of mindfulness. The perception and myths surrounding mindfulness and the challenges of practicing the same in daily life are shattered by Dr Era Dutta as she beautifully explains the concept of ‘Being in Now’. According to her, being aware is the first step towards mindfulness. Like right now, are you mindfully watching this talk or simultaneously wandering in the universe of your thoughts? Dr Era Dutta is a Consultant Neuro Psychiatrist with a difference. She has been awarded the Young Psychiatrist Award. She believes in the holistic care of each individual’s mental health needs and her expertise in Depression, Anxiety, OCD and Stress has helped many.
She considers herself a “mental health ninja” and wants to help stamp out the stigma that surrounds mental health. 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
