Jon Kabat-Zinn: Coming to Our Senses
March 82010
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. Series: “Health Sciences Journal” [11/1999] [Health and Medicine] [Show ID: 9375]
Duration : 0:57:21

Wow. Thanks for posting. Indeed, his manner shows his respect and deep understanding of the subject. It’s inspiring. By the end of the talk, my blinds and window were open and I was watching and listening to the delightful world outside.

Something about the …
Something about the sound quality that is not so good as the sound quality of the one who introduced the speaker. I have a great deal of respect for Dr. Kabot-Zinn. Seems to be very much in touch with the Aura of the self, as he so profoundly puts it: “…the aura of yourself…”

What an amazing …
What an amazing video, thank you John for you commitment to the cultivation of peace! Some of these comments surprise me in lieu of the video . Are these comments mindful? I don’t believe so. When being mindful, one is less prone to react, defend, or attack. Being mindful really has nothing to do with religion. I wager that our “happy moments” are moments of attention, mindfulness, and appreciation. Mindfulness being the key. Just my 2 cents! Happy Holidays!

Cheers to the last comment! Nothing here is in conflict with Christianity…just a conflict with shallow, uninformed, ignorant and uneducated minds!

Your mind is …
Your mind is profoundly poisoned by religion. I feel for you, I really do. I hope one day you will find solitude from the unfounded fear of eternal damnation you so obviously feel.

Mindfulness is teaching me to cope with a deep depression i’ve had for years, something more than god ever done.

You have no ideal. …
You have no ideal. Mindfulness meditation is older than Christianity. It’s also real and can be experienced directly, unlike your fictitious religion.
Your religion is supposed to be tolerant and yet you almost wish eternal suffering on people.
Mindfulness is scientifically proven to work, brain scans prove this. Mindfulness is beginning to give me a life I never thought possible, no worship, no preaching or forcing others, just being.

Am I to assume all these thumb down comments are a christian going on about how this is the work of the devil? I thought christianity was meant to be tolerant?

OcultOprah, I sense that you didn’t watch more than 5 minutes to this talk. Your messiah told: “Kingdom of God is within you”.
Jon Kabat-Zinn is telling just the same thing, coming back to your heart, being yourself in this very moment.

THis is not new age, it old age. Mindfulness is a buddhist meditation practice and Buddhism is older than Christianity. Kabt-Zinn speaks of openess and clarity. Keep your taliban extremism to yourself

Interesting. You …
Interesting. You speak of Dogma, but you fail to see that of which you follow yourself. The Dogma you follow is so instilled in you that you do not realize that you are spewing it all over the place with your words and actions. Peace and Love.

im ranting about you cos you’re a douchebag. this vid is about appreciating life and everything in it, and you’re here preaching about the lake of sulphur people who don’t believe will get chucked into. i don’t believe in god, i don’t fear eternal damnation, and if any great creator can’t understand and appreciate my beliefs, and the beliefs of billions of others that are the same, then they don’t deserve any praise or worship.

…the reason …
…the reason people who pretend to their “elite” new age peeps they are CORRECT (yet worry) & RESPOND to me; is because in every persons heart & soul ….they have something that The Holy Spirit of God trys to emplore the person to respond to – and that is = called Conviction. If yer just a Celtic Dirt Clod why care about ranting at me?……..cause you know that “thinking somethin in yer mind” is not any way to GOD – it is a way to Eternal seperation from God and a way to self destruction….

people before you …
people before you were, people like you still are, and people like you will continue to be for as long as you preach your fairy tales from your high horse. keep your belief to yourself and don’t condemn me for mine. simple, end of.
