This is the second video of the series about

meditation,

so if you haven't watched the

first one, go check it out and then come back here.

Well, in addition to the analogy of a "monkey

mind" that you've seen in the first

video, another analogy that we

can use to understand our minds

is that of a rough sea.

Our minds spend the day

going from one place to another, from a

thought to the next, as if it

were in a rough sea. And what

can we do to calm it down?

To calm our minds a little bit,

we can anchor it.

So meditation is nothing

but the use of anchors

to calm the mind. And there are many

types of meditation because there are

many types of anchors and some of

most common types of meditation are:

Transcendental meditation which is a type

of meditation that uses a mantra as an

anchor,

so basically you repeat

a word or series of words

mentally for a certain time.

The most well-known mantra is the AUM or OM, but

different mantras are more or less effective

for different people, so not everyone

uses the AUM as their mantra.

♪ AUM ♪

Guided visualizations can

use not only images, but colors and

words as anchors, so the guide

tells a story and you

imagine that story mentally.

"Imagine that you are a few

Kilometers from a mountain."

Sound meditation.

In this type of meditation, you use

a relaxing song or a Buddhist bell

as anchors.

♪♪♪

Yoga and its different types which

use not only body movement,

but also poses and the breath as anchors.

And finally Mindfulness meditation

that focus on the present

moment and in this type of meditation,

you can also use different

types of anchors.

For instance, you can perform a

body scan which is paying

attention to each part of your body

separately, noticing the sensations

you feel in each part. You can also

use background sounds as

anchors, so you basically close your

eyes and pay attention to street sounds and

all sounds around you

in the present moment.

And finally, you can use your

own breath as an anchor which

I think is the most used anchor

by those who practice this type of meditation.

So basically, you totally

focus on your breathing. You

should focus where you

feel your breath most strongly,

so it can be in your nostrils, on

your chest or in your stomach, so you close your

eyes and focus on your inspiration and expiration

for a few minutes.

The coolest thing about these anchors--

breath, sounds, mantra--is that

they bring you to a deeper

place. So going back to the analogy of

the sea, the sea can be very, very rough

on the surface, but if you go

deeper, you'll see that down

there, it's not that rough, it's

calmer and that's what the anchor does;

it brings your mind to a deeper and

calmer place.

Well, I hope you have enjoyed

this summary I made about the

different types of meditation,

keep in mind that this list is non-

exhaustive, there are other types of

meditation in addition to the ones I've

mentioned, but I think the ones I've

mentioned are the most common ones,

so the secret is to try

many of these types of meditation and

see which one works best for you

and also, you don't need to pick

one or another, you can mix these

types of meditation, so, for instance,

you can do 5 minutos of one, 5

minutes of another. The secret is to try them out and see which

one you like the most and which one works best

for you. And next month,

I'm planning to make the third and

last video of this series about

meditation,

so I'll talk a little bit about what

I particularly do and I'll also

recommend some apps

that I use that help me meditate and that

help making

meditation a habit.

So I hope you have enjoyed it,

if you have any questions,

leave them below and I'll

try to answer them in the next video.

Thank you very much for watching this video and kisses! :)

Why is Social Support So Important for Transgender Individuals? - Duration: 3:47.

[MUSIC]

Social support from family, the community, and society in general, is one of the most

powerful non-medical interventions that can help a transgender person thrive.

>> Starting at home, I think it's family acceptance.

Any of us want to be loved and accepted by our family.

And so if you can't go have that be a safe space for something like this,

I think that is going to be a hard road to begin with.

>> I think social support is probably the best therapy that we can give out there.

Because, the whole reason why I got involved in this,

is when I learned that as a mom, the rate of suicide, and

depression, and substance abuse is three to four times higher than

other peers who are not transgender, or who are gender conforming.

So if you identify a child, and they come to you, I think

just allowing the child to feel safe, and accepted, that's what everybody wants.

And if that social support is there, then I think this rate of depression goes down,

the rate of suicide, anxiety, all of that can be decreased.

>> What we do know, is that for people whose gender does not align,

and who do not have the opportunity for acceptance and expression.

That the breaks of depression, drug abuse, and suicide are very high.

In other words, the personal costs to the person's self esteem,

and to their mental health is extremely high, and they have higher mortality.

So what we tell parents now is if you want to do anything for your child,

the number one thing that you can do for them is to accept them for

exactly who they are.

>> Some things we worry about, of course, are kids not doing well, being distressed,

stressed, depressed, anxious, and not being able to succeed.

>> On the further spectrum becoming suicidal.

We do know that there are higher suicidal rates in the transgender population, or

there can be, especially in youth.

Which is a vulnerable time for anyone.

So I think, again we need to pay attention, and

we also need to make sure that those children have all the support

that they need so they can flourish just like everybody else flourishes.

I mean I'm at Stanford.

The students make it here.

They're incredibly bright.

They've got all this future ahead of them.

They just need to be nurtured the way anybody else needs to be nurtured.

They have incredible possibility.

And I think most of them reach those possibilities, they graduate,

they get jobs, and they're doing well.

But some of them do struggle.

And when they do, we need to give them the support that they need.

We have to provide the services that they need to be able to live their life,

feel authentic, and be able to meet their expectations.

[MUSIC]

>> As a global community, we have a responsibility to work together to build

a world that is ready to support, and celebrate each and every child.

Regardless of their differences, and

focusing instead on what they have in common.

All children need to feel safe, loved, and

respected in order to reach their full potential in this world.

By establishing a strong foundation,

we can help our children build a stronger, and more stable future for all of us.

What are the Gender-Affirming Management Options for Transgender Individuals? - Duration: 6:16.

[MUSIC]

Keeping transgender children healthy across their life span involves

a changing set of social considerations and later, medical options.

In early childhood, establishing an affirming environment for

a transgender child is probably the most important way to protect their health and

help them develop to their full potential.

This includes allowing them to express themselves

by letting them dress in ways that they feel most comfortable.

Allowing them to choose a hairstyle that they feel fits their sense of who

they are.

And listening to them about things like the name and

pronouns they want others around them to use.

This also often includes working with family, friends, and

teachers to honor a child's request.

>> Little kids don't really need much treatment, so to speak.

I mean, you're not going to give them hormones,

they don't have much of their own anyway.

But what sometimes people will do is they'll do sort of a social transition.

They'll dress in the gender they're comfortable.

They might even want you to call them a different nickname.

They might cut their hair a certain way.

And so that's a way that they can sort of come out and

experience that gender to their family and to their friends in school.

And of course, those kids really need a lot of support and acceptance.

>> The time around puberty is uniquely challenging for

transgender children, as they face the prospect

of developing physical characteristics that may not match their gender identity.

At this time, many transgender children and

their parents begin to discuss the option of delaying puberty.

This gives the child and the family more time to make decisions together

about longer term medical options.

It also prevents the child from experiencing distress, as their body

develops in a way that doesn't align with their internal sense of who they are.

>> Another time when it becomes a little bit more of an issue and

distress for the child is when it's about time to go into puberty.

And especially if the child is identifying as a different gender than their

assigned one at birth, the puberty they're going to go into is going to be different,

not the one that they want.

And that can be very traumatic.

>> The other benefit of delaying puberty is that it prevents the development

of some secondary sex characteristics that may be irreversible,

or that may only be surgically reversible later on in life including, for

example, breast development or voice changes.

The onset of puberty is usually triggered by the beginning of fluctuations

in a hormone called gonadotropin releasing hormone, or GnRH.

Pausing puberty is achieved by administering small amounts

of that very same hormone.

This levels out the fluctuations and temporarily interrupts the process

of puberty by stabilizing the amount of GnRH in the adolescent's body.

Puberty blockers are reversible.

Once removed, puberty continues as it would have organically.

So later on in adolescence or early adulthood,

many transgender individuals choose to use cross hormones, so

their bodies develop in accordance with their gender identity.

Taking puberty blockers before taking cross hormones

means that a transgender child will never have to experience a phase of

pubertal development that takes them farther way from their gender identity and

their desired gender expression.

>> Then the next step would be to put in the opposite sex hormones.

So in a transgender girl we might start adding in

estrogen because the body would've naturally made testosterone.

So we stop or put a pause on the male hormones that would've been made, and

we add in what's known more as the girl hormones.

>> For transgender adolescents taking cross hormones, their physician and

family will usually have an informed discussion

about their fertility options moving forward.

>> And then the other issue that really comes up that we have to check in with

patients about is fertility.

So a lot of the treatments may, as you imagine, reduce fertility.

And so we may talk about banking sperm for use later, or freezing eggs.

And so that's a whole other realm of complication that you want to make sure

that you're doing the right thing.

Again, you don't want to reduce somebody's fertility

without some thoughtfulness around that.

>> In adulthood, some transgender people may opt for

surgical interventions that further align their body with their gender identity.

Many physicians who practice in this field have called gender-affirming

surgery a life saving intervention for some transgender individuals.

But physicians also remind us that some transgender people choose not

to have any medical interventions,

and that the treatment plan is as unique as each individual person.

>> I do want to mention, as an aside, that there are some people that don't do

hormones at all, and they consider themselves transgender.

They just choose not to do hormone therapy.

There are some side effects, potentially, and they choose not to do that.

And some people choose not to do surgery.

Some people do hormones and surgery.

Some people do surgery and not hormones.

So just to give you an idea, again,

it's not this progression that everybody follows.

It's not this cookbook recipe.

It's very, very individualized, because everybody's different,

we're all unique, and so is our therapy.

And we take a lot of our lead from our patients.

"Hold Space for Your Child" - Duration: 7:17.

[MUSIC]

My son was born a girl 11 years ago.

And at the age of 2, one of the first sign, in his crib,

there was this border which had unicorns on them.

And he just ripped off this unicorn border that was around on the bedroom.

It was almost like looking back we can see him coming out

right there and then, and saying, this isn't me.

[LAUGH] Then it came down to toys.

Really, if we went to Toys'R'Us it was the classic,

I don't want anything to do with that pink area here.

Then going to pre-K, Pre-K was

where the gender line started to come up, so boy and

girl lines, and we had reports that my son

would hide when they'd come to actually line up, and it was heartbreaking.

And we talked to the school, and our school was wonderful, they listened.

And we started generating a and b lines.

And even to this day, we separate the lines between odds and

evens or a and b, there's no gender lines.

But we still didn't know then, we really thought it was like a tomboy phase.

I might be jumping ahead on years, but there was the haircut, and

he wanted the Shiloh haircut.

We went through all those phases, and then of course the underwear.

The underwear was really important.

My son really wanted to change his underwear to the Spiderman and

Batman full of powerful superheroes.

And my wife she was looking up transgender, and

we knew right at the very beginning that it didn't mean sex,

it meant identity, but it took several years from just

hearing transgender to understanding transgender.

[MUSIC]

In first and second grade, that's where the bullying started in the bathrooms.

That was pretty hard.

[MUSIC]

Because people just don't know, people just don't get it.

So not only was he bullied at the bathroom, he was bullied outside.

So, we would allow him to go to

the women's bathroom when we're in the restaurant if it was nearby.

And the women would comment and say, you're in the wrong place, son.

And that was what they were doing at school.

There was a lot of kids who were just saying,

you don't look like you should be here.

You're in the wrong place.

And that was really, really heartbreaking because of,

[MUSIC]

He didn't have anybody to blame,

because these people outside just haven't got concept.

And we at the time really didn't have a concept to our vocabulary.

And so when he was in third grade, I think,

we started to go to gender spectrum.

And as an engineer, I wanted a tool kit.

I didn't want a tool kit to fix, because I knew this wasn't something to fix,

it was really a tool kit to understand.

And even on the first time we went to gender spectrum I got the vocabulary,

I got the tools that we needed.

And one of the most important things for me was coming up with

the analogy that our child is a ship with the compass

being their happiness, and that's it, nothing else.

They're leading the way and we are as parents ensuring that they are happy.

And that's a hard thing to do, because sometimes

where they want to go is not accepted by society.

[MUSIC]

Gender really is right at the very root.

[MUSIC]

You're born, and you're looking around and

you're in a girls body, but you don't feel like a girl.

And if a father cannot accept that,

I think probably the easiest way, instead of saying do this,

just try and imagine yourself, just try and go back,

be born a girl, and just put yourself in their shoes.

Say I was born with a vagina and I'm still a man going all the way through.

And I think if you could try and imagine that, then you could really have a lot

more empathy, not sympathy, but empathy for your child.

[MUSIC]

We started seeing a pediatric endocrinologist.

We see him on a regular basis.

We're at the point where her period might start.

So we're going to allow his period to start and

then go on to puberty blockers and then make the decision.

I mean it's totally down to his choice.

The issue about puberty blockers and testosterone afterwards,

I think it's in a sense almost as if you were diabetic and you need to live.

So diabetics take insulin.

If you want to be the gender that you want to be,

then you might have to take medication, and that's it.

It's not rocket science.

I hope he can be who he wants to be, and

I hope he will grow up in a world that is accepting.

And I hope that he will be safe.

[MUSIC]

Yeah, I mean that's what it comes down to as a parent,

our fundamental thing is to keep our children safe.

[MUSIC]

If you hold the space for your child,

you will become not only more connected with your child, but

more connected with what this whole thing of being a human is about.

What is Persistent Diarrhea? - Duration: 1:00.

Persistent diarrhea means that when you most want to be present you have to, ahem, go.

When it happens over, and over, and over, you get frustrated and feel trapped.

Especially since you don't know why.

Well, no wonder! Look at all these potential causes!

The mystery can mean repeated trips to the doctor, and lab test, after lab test, after lab test.

Or, you could ask for the PROMETHEUS IBcause Diagnostic Test, which can help your doctor

find the cause and determine a treatment plan sooner.

There are many causes for persistent diarrhea.

The PROMETHEUS IBcause Diagnostic Test can help you find which one's haunting you.

So, ask for it by name: IBcause.

Because you and your doctor want to know.

"I Wouldn't Ask for Any Other Child" - Duration: 7:42.

[MUSIC]

While I was pregnant with my child, my first child, everybody I knew, every aunt,

uncle, cousin, people I didn't know in the airports when I was traveling.

Everywhere I went people would come up to me and say, look at.

Just let me touch your tummy.

Your having a boy, your definitely having a boy.

So I had only a list of boys names and

I'll never forget at the moment I gave birth and the doctor said it's a girl.

I was shocked and I actually said to the doctor are you sure?

That was the first thing that came out of my mouth.

[LAUGH] Check again.

I'm sure it's a boy and so I sort of scrambled and

tried to come up with a list of names and make a short list.

I only ultimately came up with two possible female names and then chose one.

But I had a long list of boys names [LAUGH] and I kept them in the baby book.

And so later when this happened I said, well, lo and

behold, I told them the story about how everyone thought I was going to

give birth to a boy and how he's been so masculine and boyish, his whole childhood.

So we went right to the baby book, opened it up and

he chose the second name on the list.

The first name of the list had gone to my second child.

I had not heard of the category of transgender then.

So I just wasn't really familiar with what it meant and

I thought maybe I had kind of a gay female child.

[MUSIC]

>> I think the first time I heard about it and

the first time I actually understood it were two very different points in time.

So the first time I kind of heard about it, I might have been five.

And the first time I realized I felt like a boy was when I was three or four.

And I think that's when most kids kind of start identifying with an gender.

[MUSIC]

At the beginning of seventh grade I think I thought I was gay.

And so I was watching a lot coming out videos on YouTube.

I found one that I thought was just another gay person and

it was actually a transgender guy so

then I just started watching loads of videos like that for about two days

straight and that was kind of when I think I knew I was transgender too.

I actually remember one of the videos

a person was talking about wearing binders, which makes your chest look flat.

And then I scrounged around my room, found a bunch of stuff to make my own one.

And that was very relieving, because my chest actually looked flat, and

that was something that I'd always really hated, but

I didn't really understand that I hated it.

And so that was really nice.

But it was also kind of worrisome,

because I thought I wouldn't be able to tell anyone.

>> He actually told me over the phone from his dad's house.

He called to say, I want to have a very important conversation with you and

tell you some things.

And I want to come to your house to do it,

because I'm actually kind of afraid that my dad's not going to accept it.

And I said it's okay if you're gay, we have so many gay friends.

And he said no it's not that, I am like and

he named a person we knew, a family friend who had a transgender child.

>> When I first told my mom, she was totally fine with it and

I knew she'd be fine with it.

It took her a little while to get use to it but not long.

Just a couple weeks maybe.

>> I felt ready to help him become his authentic self.

I think that's the best thing you can do as a parent.

It didn't cross my mind even once to talk him out of this identity.

At the beginning, in the first week or so,

we had thought I wonder if the right thing to do is just, I'll know and

I'll support him in my house, but maybe at school he'll still,

for one more year to finish eighth grade he'll still just be a female at school.

But that thought only lasted about a week.

We actually went together to a great youth counseling center that works with

kids in the trans community, and then the counselor who runs the youth group said,

once you have this realization and you know who you are and

you've told someone you love who you are, it's really hard to go backwards.

[MUSIC]

It took me about two weeks to really be consistent with male pronouns, maybe even

almost a month to consistent using male pronouns and using the new name.

I'd slip back to the old name.

It's been four or five months now, and now I'm pretty solid.

I have not slipped back.

But once in a while,

I'll look at something like a baby book I made with the old name on it.

And it brings some tears to my eyes not because I wish I had

a daughter, but sometimes I look at that and

I think the tears come for a set of complex reasons.

For example, I remember calling my child another name and

I won't use that name and it's okay.

Or I remember or I feel badly about misunderstanding.

I wish I had been educated.

I wish someone had said to me, there's this category called transgender.

Hey, your child always wears boys clothes.

I wish the preschool teachers or someone had said something to me because I

would have had the opportunity to give my child hormone blockers to prevent my child

from going through puberty and developing those characteristics.

Those physical characteristics of a female body.

Now the only way to undo some of those characteristics will be for

example surgery, top surgery.

Had I known I could have prevented some of these things and

just started this process sooner.

But, that's why I'm hopeful that educational forums like this will educate

other parents, so they could just know about the category of transgender.

[MUSIC]

>> In society, people think there are only two genders, male and female.

And that would make you female and

what makes you male is your biological differences.

But gender is in your mind and

not between your legs, and that's what a lot of people don't understand.

>> He's got the kind of side to him that encompasses both ways of thinking.

And as he goes to the world he'll always carry with him

those first 13 years of his life.

And that will bring a different perspective so

he's a kind of a unique individual.

I think all trans people are unique in that they have experience.

We have such a gendered society, and

they've experienced walking along very gendered paths.

And so they know maybe what it feels like to be on both sides.

That's unique.

[MUSIC]

I feel like I'm if I really look at it feel like I'm actually been

blessed to be a parent who is allowed to travel this journey in life.

And I wouldn't ask for any other child.
