I L.O.V.E Jon Kabat-zinn!

[David Woods]

This is one of the best videos for experiencing mindfulness, without using that term. Jon gives direct instruction on being aware of the body, sensations, emotions and thoughts. He gives a guided group meditation. You will be moved by it as well as learn more than knowledge. You will experience his compassion and his intention to give these teachers and you the tools you need to deal with stress and difficulties. It is amazing to have it available on YouTube.
