2 жыл бұрын

Jon Kabat-Zinn PhD guides us through this classic meditation, incorporating the visualisation of a mountain; a symbol of equanimity. Dr. Kabat-Zinn is internationally known for his work as a scientist, meditation teacher and writer. He has played a pivotal role in bringing the practices of mindfulness and meditation into the mainstream of medicine and society. He is Professor of Medicine emeritus at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, where he founded its world-renowned Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Clinic (in 1979), and the Center for Mindfulness in Medicine, Health Care, and Society (in 1995).

Concentration? I do not know what you were doing, but it is not mindfulness meditation. Mindfulness meditation sessions are open to everything

@@jenniferfirer2837 Some people believe that mindfulness is inward, like an inward mental state. It's not. Every ephemeral object, site, feeling (including pain) or thought can and should be an object of focus. It's what allows anyone to meditate in the center of a construction zone or near a firing range, allowing anything and everything to be an object of meditation. It's open to everything.

I enjoy this meditation not only for the guidance and relaxing nature sounds at the end, but also for the empowering pointer to the center. Love is abundant there. It is not abundant when people rely on the outside for confidence and reflection. All that takes lots and lots of self-healing and love. None of us were kidding on that point. The unconditional love starts from within, and it is never shallow.

The ads in the middle is really off putting. I understand that the organisation that put out this video (I hope with Jon’s permission) needs to make money. That is why they uploaded the video. BUT they can monetise it by starting with a 30 sec unskipable ad but move the ads from the middle.

@nononsensemeditation9204 Жыл бұрын

Try to develop your observer perspective. This is a perspective that we are all born with, but it becomes buried over time by conditioning and identification with our thoughts. You are not your thoughts and emotions; you are the one who observes your thoughts and emotions. Simply witness them without engaging with them or judging them (“good” or “bad” etc). With practice you will see that when you do this, they will dissolve and be replaced by more, ad infinitum.
