Mindfulness of Ego and Interdependence | Ianna Hondros-McCarthy | TEDxUNE

Ianna’s talk answers a question that many people spend nearly a lifetime trying to answer, “How does one find meaning in life?” For Ianna, the meaning in her life is rooted in mindfulness, as she devotes her thoughts to awareness of her surroundings and gives attention to things that most people neglect to acknowledge, such as the simple act of breathing. This talk will leave you with the desire to find the harmony in your life and seek perfect balance amongst all beings. Ianna is studying Osteopathic medicine because it's focus is on recognizing that everyone is different while sharing the same components that we can relate to and affect within one another. With undergraduate degrees in English and Psychology, as well as a Master's in Peace and Conflict Studies, Ianna is working towards building a life dedicated to communication, understanding, and finding harmony. Outside academia, she has lived with Buddhist monks in Thailand and India, spent time in silent meditative retreats, and has written a book about traveling in Thailand and coming home to integrate mindfulness within her life as a student, athlete, friend, and person struggling with existentialism. Currently at UNECOM, she leads meditation sittings for her peers. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
