CAPTURE THE BEAUTY OF YOUR MOMENTS THROUGH

MINDFULNESS MEDITATION WITH JON KABAT-ZINN

CULTIVATE MINDFULNESS, ENRICH YOUR LIFE

The world's foremost producer of personal development and motivation audio programs offers an inside look at how you can raise your awareness level for maximum personal and professional achievement.

From the bestselling author of Wherever You Go, There You Are comes a guide to experiencing life fully as it unfolds -- moment by moment. One popular misconception about meditation is that it is a way to make your mind blank so you can escape what you are feeling. Internationally-known meditation teacher Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn wants you to understand that meditation is an invitation to wake up, experience the fullness of your life and transform your relationship with your problems, your fears and any pain and stress in your life.

Listen as Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn tells you how to:

• Access your own deep inner resources for learning, growing and healing
• Enrich your everyday experience by being fully in the moment
• Reduce stress by responding creatively rather than reacting mindlessly
• Bring greater clarity and understanding to everything you do

Listen to Mindfulness Meditation and discover what it's like to live life in all its fullness.

I always enjoy listening to Dr. Kabat-Zinn. This CD presents a a very good reason to try mindful meditation. Kabat-Zinn has a very pleasing voice with easy concepts to relate to. If you are looking for actual meditations this is not the CD for you, but he definitely gives you a good place to start the practice of meditation with the breath. Highly recommend.

I've purchased a few meditation recordings over the years. This one is by far the most helpful. I've used it for myself and in groups. It is excellent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mindfulness Meditation Practice tape, Series 1, Guided Body, July 23, 2004

By 

Karen (Northern CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mindfulness Meditation - Cultivating the Wisdom of Your Body and Mind (Audio CD)

I have stubborn chronic insomnia, often waking in the middle of the night. I have used Jon Kabat-Zinn's audio cassette (Series 1, Guided Body Scan, side 1) for years most often to help me to get back to sleep from the middle of the night moving forward. Recently, the tape finally wore out and I unsuccessfully tried another author's CD which prompted me to offer a recommendation for this tape. I appreciate that this Guided Scan is only spoken word which I find helps quiet my mind chatter as a music-only CD is unable to do. I find Kabat-Zinn's voice soothing and at a properly slowed pace (but not too slow)...think of when you read a child a bedtime story. The meditation is 45 minutes long talking you through relaxing your body and breathing step by step from your toes to the top of your head. Often you fall asleep before it finishes. Unfortunately, Kabat-Zinn only sells this Guided Body Scan as a pair of tapes/CDs combined with other yoga tracks which I have no interest in. I also had tried reading one of his earlier books, "Full Catastrophe Living" a few years ago but found that less helpful. Stick with the Guided Scan instead.
