Description:
Perhaps no other person has done more to bring mindfulness meditation into the contemporary landscape of America than Jon Kabat-Zinn. Through a number of research studies, and through Kabat-Zinn’s pioneering work at the University of Massachusetts Medical School where he is founder of its world-renowned Stress Reduction Clinic, mindfulness is finally being recognized as a highly effective tool for dealing with stress, chronic pain, and other illnesses. Today, with a four-part home training course, Jon Kabat-Zinn offers listeners the definitive mindfulness meditation practice on CD. “We are not trying to actively achieve a state of deep relaxation - or any other state for that matter - while practicing mindfulness,” he teaches. “But interestingly, by opening to an awareness of how things actually are in the present moment, we often taste very deep states of relaxation and well-being - of both body and mind.”
