Funny thing is I really did just stumble into this lecture from a very different video, but was mindful enough to stick around and even come back. I admire your knowledge and your humor! I thank you for your footprint in our world you help make the world a better place!
Happy you liked this lecture by Jon Kabat-Zinn!
He is a gift to anyone who kistens to him.
i'm learning SO much Everything Jon says is Fascinating !
love how Jon kabbat zinn is so welcoming, compassionate, intutiive ,TOLERANT and human!awesome! welcome! thank you!
The poem got me so emotional. It's made me realize how I have been so busy and I neglected myself. In the process I have lost myself.
Thanks for sharing!
For anyone who is confused. Mindfulness is basically coming to the senses and this leads to relaxation and peace because when your in your senses you cannot be stressed, because stress is a mental phenomenon. So just focus on what you see, smell, taste, hear, and feel.and don't judge what you are sensing. It's that simple. Mindfulness is good to do whenever thinking isn't needed. So much of human thinking is unnecessary. Being lost in thought is what stops allot of people from enjoying life. For example, lets say your eating some juicy delicious hamburger but in your head your stressing about this that and this, and it takes your focus away from eating that burger, And you don't get the full experience of eating that burger. but if you did mindfulness while eating that burger and really payed close attention to the taste and didn't judge the taste, you'd get the full experience of eating that burger, next time you do something like for example, taking a shower, or taking a walk, or eating something, etc. pay very close to sense perceptions, it will make what your doing a whole lot more enjoyable. I recommend you look up Echart Tolle btw, he's the greatest mindfulness teacher their is and that's a fact.

So Brandon - we must be riding a similar wavelength. In preparing for tomorrow and in response to our last meeting where i was introduced to Infinite Waters, i was searching around for a different style of meditation thinker this week to share with you - and here you are already there....:-) See you tomorrow.
haha k
the challenge for me is accepting my tinnitus as part of the mindfulness practice...to let it be rather than fight against it.
I was looking for a way to explain mindfulness to my friends and associates. Your example is perfect.
Beautifully explained..!!
Shocked by how this changed my life instantly. Am excited to watch other vids and books regarding mindfulness to even go further.
That's exactly where I'm at with it too friend.
What a warm, engaging, wonderful speaker. Such a rare being of light. Thank you for your work and the beauty that is you JKZ.
Ya see how he's greeting and appreciating people amply in a calm tone and smiling? That is also mindfulness.
Jon has had a profound impact on my life having struggled with mental illness for over 20 years. Thank you for this talk, I would love to see him in person.
I wish u well with your practise with mindfulness if u are doing so. I also have had run ins with mental battles. But mindfulness really is the key
Ditto.
Me too with physical pain. What a sweet soul he has. Bless you my brother. 🙏❤️
Thank you. Time well spent and I will be watching this over again.
Jon you are simply great. Thanks!
What a great lecturer. Enjoyed the talk. Thank you for posting this so that others can view it for free. =)
You're welcome! :-)
What a beautiful soul
It amazes me that while I have listened to this talk several times, it just dawned on me how simple being here in the present moment really is. It is not a chore. It is just a different way to relate to life.
Thanks for watching the talk several times, and I am happy that you enjoy it. And I completely agree with your words: being here and now is simple (but at the same time often not so easy....). Thanks for your comment! /Johan
Best explanation of meditation and mindfulness I’ve come across and I’ve studied a lot of it this is done in step by step plain simple English thank you very much
Gerry Regan from Ireland
Happy to hear that Gerry! 😊🙏
This is inspiring. This was what i was looking for, but didn't know it.
Happy to hear that, Margaret! :-)
"Mindfulness should have been called MindLESSness" Eckart Tolle
"Mindfulness should have been called HEARTfulness" Jon Kabat Zin
I enjoy his warmth.
What an excellent talk. Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn, Ph.D. has helped me re-build my life as I live with Bipolar II.
Amazing to realize how I felt so unconfortable in paying attention to breathing, because I have always thought I was breathing "wrong" , too shallow and that would bring me even more thoughts of fear and the need of doing something to breath "better" , always believing there is something wrong with me. The eternal need of doing...to become better than you already are! Thank you for this amazing video❤🙏
Thanks for sharing Dimitra!
Thank you so much for generously providing this on the internet, I am grateful.
You're welcome! 😊🙏
Thanks for this, very good sound and picture quality.
Thanks from Southern Delaware USA 🇺🇸 12-29-20.
A very insightful talk. Will share and refer to this often. Many thanks!
Glad you like it, and thanks a lot for sharing!
This is good stuff. Thank you for sharing. 👍
Witness Consciousness. You can not BECOME Happy. You can only Be Happy. Surrender to Infinity. Allow feeling to expand to Infinity. Allow the Heart to open to Infinity. Breathe deeply into the solar plexus, full reception and full release.
Surrender mind, Surrender body, Surrender emotion, Surrender breath. Mind, body, emotion, breath, Surrender all as one gesture, there can be no "you" leftover if all 4 faculties are surrendered to the Feeling of Being. The Life Current. Reality Itself.
You become what you meditate on.
Meditate on the mindless, knowledgeless Feeling of Being... Forever
Jon is amazing ❣️ I am having so many realisations of late and his words are perfect 🌟⚔️❤️⚔️
Happy to hear that, Elizabeth! 😊🙏
MINDFULNESS É VIDA! VIVER O HOJE, AQUI E AGORA, ENXERGANDO BELEZA EM CADA DETALHE DA VIDA. 🌹
Very much the same view as (Syd Banks Three Principals, or Echart Tolle or Byron Katie ) that your thoughts and what you are thinking is the cause all mental problems such as depression, anxiety, fear, worry, etc. very good part at 32 minutes
Interestingly enough I intended to be more present this year. I don’t ever make new year resolutions but this year, I decided to do this and your talk was extremely helpful.
Namaste 🙏🏻
Thanks for your sharing Indirá, and happy to hear that the talk was helpful!

Wow Jon, thank you.
Happy that you liked the talk! :-)
Great Great! Extremely clear. Thanks.
Wow, this was fantastic! Than you very much
You're welcome! :-)
This has helped me a lot. My friends when struggling a bit all end up responding to the same statements of mine, "I have an oppressive mind". But my friends do not sign up. That is up to them. The search is ongoing for them. My life is less stressful and a bit more productive. Really the things I thought were hardships are not so bad. In fact I have had a lot of luck and can make a lot more luck for myself.
Thanks for posting this, great talk - I wonder how many people nearly watched this video ;)
Thank you
Great presentation
Something just came into my mind now again: about words whole and health...
In Hungarian whole is egész and health is egészség, which literally means whole-ness... :)
Great talk 🇯🇲
When he says be the knowing of the breathing he's basically saying be that which lets the breath be.
Thank you!
You're welcome! :-)
Appreciate the insights into Mindfulness. I strongly believe mindfulness has a lot to offer on healing from our sufferings and learning to manage and confront our thoughts and emotions more effectively.
This lecture was well needed yet my concern is how put it into action.
This video is a gift to humanity. Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you, happy to hear that! 😊🙏

thanks for sharing this video, for some reason i can't put subtitles even automatics ones, the english of Mr. Kabat-Zinn is verý easy to understand but are some little words that I preffer to read to try more easily to translate.
i also :(
I admire his ability to stick to his topic while having a baby making noises. :-)))
Yes, embodied mindfulness! :-)
Regarding the baby. Did he not say that, that was the most important one in the room and that is life expressing itself?
❤️
Elon Musk is about the UNIVERSE. It's crazy interesting. But what's crazy crazy interesting is this Gigantic beautiful thing we have in our minds. The mindfulness and the body and the whole connection between them and emotions. It's a whole other universe to discover.
Agree! 😊
As a child most of this was natural. I remember

Que alguien los subtitule en español..... Por favor seria un gran regalo para todos quienes no hemos aprendido Ingle! Cariños
Buena idea. Se aconsejo el libro "Como vivir con plenitud las crisis". Es de John. La charla es muy buena. Si querés te envío un resumen en español. Hay frases que son geniales.
what would the world and humanity be like if we would be non judgemental to ourselves.
A more beautiful place .... 😊
👍
how long can we pay attention for?????, do we build this up over time?
Helen Dixon Hi Helen! Probably just for a few seconds, then the mind will wander for most of us (at least for me :-). And yes, the more we practice, the more focus we will experience. Thanks for asking.
+Helen Dixon moment by moment by moment...
+Helen Dixon This video is great and Jeffrey Schwartz explains your question ...find his video , which helps me a lot ..''Mindful Breathing Exercises"'(Jeffrey Schwartz)
Anyone know any good books about mindfulness I can buy?
Perhaps you would like to read Jon Kabat-Zinn's book "Wherever You Go There You Are". Highly recommended. 😊

Yes, indeed we are! And yet there are ways to reprogram our brains in the direction of presence... Thanks for your comment.
