Jon Kabat-Zinn — Opening to Our Lives and a Science of Mindfulness (Dec 27, 2012)

Mindfulness Meditation

Guided Mindfulness By Jon Kabat - Zinn

The landmark work on mindfulness, meditation, and healing, now revised and updated after twenty-five years &#160; Stress. It can sap our energy, undermine&#160; our health if we let it, even shorten our lives. It makes us more vulnerable to anxiety and depression, disconnection and disease. Based on Jon Kabat-Zinn&rsquo;s renowned mindfulness-based stress reduction program, this classic, groundbreaking work&mdash;which gave rise to a whole new field in medicine and psychology&mdash;shows you how to use medically proven mind-body approaches derived from meditation and yoga to counteract stress, establish greater balance of body and mind, and stimulate well-being and healing. By engaging in these mindfulness practices and integrating them into your life from moment to moment and from day to day, you can learn to manage chronic pain, promote optimal healing, reduce anxiety and feelings of panic, and improve the overall quality of your life, relationships, and social networks. This second edition features results from recent studies on the science of mindfulness, a new Introduction, up-to-date statistics, and an extensive updated reading list. Full Catastrophe Living is a book for the young and the old, the well and the ill, and anyone trying to live a healthier and saner life in our fast-paced world. &#160; Praise for Full Catastrophe Living &#160; &ldquo;To say that this wise, deep book is helpful to those who face the challenges of human crisis would be a vast understatement.

WEEK 1 MEDITATION: This is the core mindfulness meditation to use throughout throughout your intro to mindfulness and meditation course.  Choose either this track or another body scan track to listen to.  We recommend practising this meditation once per day.

Body Scan (24 mins)– Karl Baker: WEEK 1 GUIDED MEDITATION

The skillful use of inquiry - asking questions in a way that energizes and focuses our attention - brings what is hidden into the light of awareness. This talk explores the healing that arises as we investigate the unseen, unfelt parts of our psyche, and the freedom discovered as we look into the very essence of who we are.

Investigating Reality - TaraBrach

The most basic truths we forget, and one is this: if we don't love ourselves, we can't love life. In the most basic way, attending to and embracing our inner life reveals the nature of reality. This talk looks at the genesis of self-aversions and several pathways that open us to the loving presence that is our source. (from 2015 IMCW Spring Retreat)

Loving Yourself Into Freedom - TaraBrach (retreat talk)

Meditation teacher and voice actor Elaine Smookler leads a mindfulness practice that consists of laying down and placing attention on each area of your body, from head to toe.
