Jon Kabat-Zinn: Coming to Our Senses


Renowned mindfulness meditation teacher and best-selling author Jon Kabat-Zinn speaks at UCSD Medical Center on the topic of "Coming to Our Senses", which is also the name of his new book, subtitled "Healing Ourselves and the World Through Mindfulness". A pioneer in the application of ancient Buddhist practices to healing in modern medical settings, Kabat-Zinn expounds upon the value of "resting in awareness" not only to facilitate clarity in ourselves, but also as a means of relating to and healing the "dis-ease" in politics, society and the world.

I hate to be pedantic, but it is Socrates who says "the unexamined life is not worth living" in Plato's *Apology*.

I am learning more about mindfulness. It is helpful in dealing with OCD, which I suffer from.

He says the same things in every single lecture he gives, and he uses the same poems, etc.

I've listened to Jon's "Minfulness Meditation" CD. Thanks for posting this video, but I think you should have tagged it with more relevant words, e.g. mindfulness, meditation, psychology, etc...

Heh heh. Everyone in this video is a genius but it's only had 2,200 views. I got 7,000 for driving my car. There's no hope for humans!
