Take a break for 10 minutes Mindfulness with the MIT community and the global public. Join the webinar (off-camera) using the buttons above or join the on-screen panel below (scroll down).

Ways to participate:
***A short introduction is offered at 2:48 each day.

Sit relaxed and close your eyes, or observe the screen or,
observe your breathing and let it go in and out by itself or,
notice sensations in your body with your mind’s eye or,
visualize a relaxing scene or something you are grateful for.

You are welcome to get tickets to serve as reminders, or just use one of the URLs to join. @2:50 has been offered every day since 12 March 2020 and now occurs in two time zones at 2:50 pm every day.

The daily event has brought together people from every continent for over 88,000 person/minutes of quiet reflection
MIT@2:50 was initiated on 12 March 2020 as a temporary reaction to growing anxiety surrounding the pandemic. The daily mindful reflection period was shared widely within MIT and across the globe to become a daily staple for participants and viewers ranging in age from their teens to their 70s and from all walks of life. Monday 16 Nov marks the 250th consecutive day that the group meets at 2:50 pm eastern time. Each day, participants and viewers begin to show up around 2:45. Returning participants greet each other and welcome new joiners. At 2:49 guests are invited to participate in a way that suits them best from a handful of suggested mindfulness practices. From 2:50 to 3:00 pm every day, everyone sits quietly together. Quiet music, nature scenes, and participant panels play on the screen for those who wish to watch. At the top of the hour, participants may leave to resume their days or sometimes remain talk for a while.

Metallica is an American heavy metal band. The band was formed in 1981 in Los Angeles by vocalist/guitarist James Hetfield and drummer Lars Ulrich, and has been based in San Francisco for most of its career. The band’s fast tempos, instrumentals and aggressive musicianship made them one of the founding “big four” bands of thrash metal, alongside Megadeth, Anthrax and Slayer. Metallica’s current lineup comprises founding members and primary songwriters Hetfield and Ulrich, longtime lead guitarist Kirk Hammett and bassist Robert Trujillo. Guitarist Dave Mustaine (who went on to form Megadeth after being fired from the band) and bassists Ron McGovney, Cliff Burton (who died in a bus accident in Sweden in 1986) and Jason Newsted are former members of the band.

Metallica earned a growing fan base in the underground music community and won critical acclaim with its first five albums. The band’s third album, Master of Puppets (1986), was described as one of the heaviest and most influential thrash metal albums. Its eponymous fifth album, Metallica (1991), the band’s first to root predominantly in heavy metal, appealed to a more mainstream audience, achieving substantial commercial success and selling over 16 million copies in the United States to date, making it the best-selling album of the SoundScan era.
Metallica, like most of the music industry right now, is off the road. To help fans pass the time, they are introducing #MetallicaMondays. Each week the Free Metallica Monday Concert features a different live performance, on their YouTube and Facebook page every Monday night at 5 PM pacific.

His 2015 stand-up special, “Unhinged in Hollywood,” debuted on NBC Primetime and ranked as the time period’s top non-sports program on the Big 4 in every key measure. The special was re-broadcast on Comedy Central and was the top rated special of the year for the entire network.
