[@michaelureadi2884]

Doesn't this amazing gentleman speak to your 'heart' on many levels...!!!

[@roysb_2628]

One of the most brilliant talk I ever heard, thank you for sharing this

[@goddessamanda]

He is the daddy. Such humility and kindness. Such intellect, wisdom and vision. Sit. Feast.

[@axsle189]

The flow of this talk is incredible. His linguistic skill is amazing.

[@rawdonwaller]

Articulated with precision, clarity, humour, and humility. My favourite anti-guru.

[@MegaSkoots]

47 thumbs down? Wtf I suppose there’s no hope for some people - one of the true greats of our time...

[@PeterMillerSyd]

Great video. What I liked is his totally naturalistic view. There is no supernatural stuff here, just science and common sense (and mindfulness, of course).
A similar talk I heard last Sunday mentioned in passing, early on, it taking 10,000 lives to reach (something, I can't remember what exactly), which turned me straight off.

[@anitachooraman4247]

I agree. I don't like when I'm listening to a talk or reading a book and they start talking about supernatural mumbo-jumbo.
Jon is my absolute favourite teacher of mindfulness; I love how he brings a sense of humour to his talks. I love him

[@SgtMacska]

Karma is different stuff than invoking 10,000 lives. Karma just means, things cause other things. That's the basis of modern science.

Jon your voice and poems are so soothing I can fall asleep with your clips like a gentle meditation, then wake and press replay ☮️❣️ ⚔️❤️⚔️

[@kristykeller5906]

[@mbsheisey]

This man has been my hero since the early 1990's

[@elizabethsunchaserk8446]

Now you can be your own hero too ❣️ ⚔️❤️⚔️

[@JustT0m752]

Could this guy being any cooler. I love Jon Kabat-Zinn

[@thejaweeratna5344]

Wonderful time spent listening to your wise words.

[@seasea1500]

19:22 We can actually put out the welcome mat for whatever arrives...
... When we rest the awareness in the present moment there's no time anymore...
19:54 ... It's simply Now. Check your watch it's Now again...👐💓💓💞

[@Ahibasabala]

That was really interesting. It made me realise how little time i spend in the present. My thoughts often seem to be focused on the past, or on the future.

[@anastasiakyriakidou1820]

33:59. "Any of you 22 or younger in this audience? Just one? Well, you get the prize, man. Terrific. You go, guy. You go." lol.

[@slipnorris5882]

So while meditating, and after I got an uncomfortable thought, which I had today, my body contracted then put my attention back to my breathing. Is that how it suppose to work?

[@pheeel17]

Yes, as your mind wanders, you will eventually notice it. Come back to the breath (or whatever else is in the present moment).

[@nicholasusansky9073]

but dont fight any negative thoughts. they are onlyn thought forms. play the jon kabat zinn guided sitting meditation on you tube

[@primingdotdev]

Anyone manage to not judge the woman on the iphone at the beginning?

[@vaibhavjain366]

Feeling the breath is fine but how about feeling the lack of it or feeling the emptiness instead of sensations ??

[@beholden1663]

I think the Buddhists focus on “ The Void” the emptiness. I think you could focus on it a Although Jon doesn’t make reference to the space between the thoughts

[@Bloodthirster20]

easily would've been the youngest adult there if i did go in march :L
