Mindfulness opens us up to the possibility of being fully human as we are, and of expressing the humane in our way of being. Mindlessness de facto closes us up and denies us the fullness of our being alive. This book may on the surface appear to be merely another offering in the genre of daily readings.

In this audio and streaming video program, Dr. Kabat-Zinn takes the listener to his Massachusetts Stress Reduction Clinic for demonstrations of sitting, prone, and standing meditation, as well as testimonials from stressed-out patients who found some peace through his program.

In this follow-up to Mindfulness Meditation in Everyday Life, Kabat-Zinn adds a decidedly American flair to the elusive art of living fully in each moment as it unfolds. This 6-disc segment includes guided instruction in mindful walking, sitting meditation, mindful hatha yoga, and also Kabat-Zinn's responses to questions from workshop participants, which may help deepen both one's understanding and commitment to the cultivation of mindfulness.

They are meant to be used in conjunction with Dr. Kabat-Zinn's book, Full Catastrophe Living: Using the Wisdom of Your Body and Mind to Face Stress, Pain and Illness. You will find extensive descriptions of these practices in this book, as well as pictures of the mindful hatha yoga sequences. Thousands of people have...

Achtsamkeit ist das schönste Geschenk, das wir uns und anderen machen können Jon Kabat-Zinn war der Erste, der Achtsamkeit aus dem buddhistischen Kontext direkt in unseren Alltag übertragen hat. Seine Programme zur Stressreduktion werden weltweit mit großem Erfolg angewendet. Denn gerade bei Anspannung und Stress ist es wichtig, dass wir zur Ruhe kommen und Augenblicke des Seins erfahren. Wenn wir mehr und mehr lernen, ganz in der Gegenwart anzukommen,...
