The movie unfolds in three chapters as follows:
Chapter 1: Decoding Mindfulness
Defines what mindlessness and mindfulness is and how the neuroscience and concept of neuroplasticity play into the practice.
Chapter 2: Journey to Mindfulness
Takes you on a journey of eight lessons learned from mindfulness—like the art of not-trying, increasing awareness, not identifying with your thoughts, the choice of being mindful or mindless, noticing new things, the solution to ego, stress, and mindful eating.
Chapter 3: Stories of Mindfulness
Takes us on an emotional journey discovering how the practice is being used by the military and teen groups around the world. The movie concludes with Jon Kabat-Zinn calls for us to “grow down and become planetary adults.”
Our goal was to create a completely secular film for the general public audience that have no background in mindfulness. A fun, easy to understand film where they can walk away with at least one or two golden nuggets to apply immediately.
