Jon Kabat-Zinn: Coming to Our Senses

Renowned mindfulness meditation teacher and best-selling author Jon Kabat-Zinn speaks at UCSD Medical Center on the topic of "Coming to Our Senses", which is also the name of his new book, subtitled "Healing Ourselves and the World Through Mindfulness". A pioneer in the application of ancient Buddhist practices to healing in modern medical settings, Kabat-Zinn expounds upon the value of "resting in awareness" not only to facilitate clarity in ourselves, but also as a means of relating to and healing the "dis-ease" in politics, society and the world.

Hey TheCHRM2, that's ME you're telling people to skip over! Ouch! :-) Good humbling moment because I'm about to introduce Jon again on Friday. Promise to keep it short this time . . .

[Ian Campbell]

Maybe it was a bit long, but I liked the beginning.

[condaleeza johnson]

Well, I enjoyed your introduction very much.

[Dresden Diaz]

same old rhetoric. whats this guy saying that you dont already know? People pay these schemers to give them insight, but what these people need is really motivation.

[Keith Hunt]

I felt that too when I first saw Jon do a Google talk. But the more I delved into his work, the more I realized he's the real deal. I was always turned off of meditation by people like Deepak Chopra who seem to just want to capitalize off meditation. But Jon seems to be more heartfelt about all this mindfulness stuff. Plus he backs up what he says with hard science. And yet--despite his refreshingly scientific approach to it--he's managed to not turn it into something cold and analytical.

coming out of a major depression I have experienced falling awake - it opens up a whole new vibrant world - living in the moment not lingering on the past or the future will keep me living rather than just existing
