Summary

Mindfulness Meditation is about learning to experience 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 from what you are feeling. However, author 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 so that they don't wind up controlling you and eroding the quality of your life and your creativity. It is not about running away, or manipulating mental states. Through the practice of mindfulness, you can learn to develop greater calmness, clarity and insight in facing and embracing all your life experiences, even life's trials, and turning them into occasions for learning, growing and deepening your own strength and wisdom. In this program, internationally-known meditation teacher Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn shows you how to: Access your own deep inner resources for learning, growing, and healing Enrich your experience of everyday living by being fully present in the moment Reduce stress by responding creatively rather than reacting mindlessly Bring greater clarity and understanding to everything you do Function more effectively within your apparent limitations and problems by cultivating your fundamental strengths Reestablish contact with your physical body to heighten and expand experiences of pleasure and vitality Reduce or overcome addictive or self-destructive behavior patterns Develop a strong daily meditation practice PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Today millions of people have taken up a formal mindfulness meditation practice as part of their everyday lives. But how do you actually go about meditating?

Summary

We think we know what meditation is - especially in an era when "mindfulness" has improbably rocketed into the mainstream. Millions of people around the world have taken up a formal mindfulness meditation practice as part of their everyday lives. But there's no hard-and-fast rule that says you have to meditate in a certain way, in a particular place, or following a specific tradition. So what is meditation anyway? And why might it be worth trying? Or nurturing further if you already have practice? Meditation Is Not What You Think was originally published in 2005 as part of a larger book entitled Coming to Our Senses: Healing Ourselves and the World Through Mindfulness. Updated with a new foreword by the author, these questions (and their answers) are particularly relevant for the current era. If you're curious as to why meditation is not for the faint-hearted, how taking some time each day to drop into awareness can actually be a radical act of love, and why paying attention is so supremely important, listen on for a master class from one of the pioneers of mindfulness in the mainstream world.

Coming to Our Senses

Summary

Ten years ago, Jon Kabat-Zinn changed the way we thought about awareness in everyday life with his now-classic introduction to mindfulness, Wherever You Go, There You Are. Now, with Coming to Our Senses, he provides the definitive book for our time on the connection between mindfulness and our physical and spiritual well-being. With scientific rigor, poetic deftness, and compelling personal stories, Dr. Kabat-Zinn examines the mysteries and marvels of our minds and bodies, describing simple, intuitive ways in which we can come to a deeper understanding, through our senses, of our beauty, our genius, and our life path in a complicated, fear-driven, and rapidly changing world. Throughout this program, Kabat-Zinn explores various facets of the great adventure of healing ourselves - and our world - through mindful awareness, with a focus on the "sensecapes" of our lives and how a more intentional awareness of the senses, including the human mind itself, allows us to live more fully and more authentically. By "coming to our senses" - both literally and metaphorically, by opening to our innate connectedness with the world around us and within us - we can become more compassionate, more embodied, more aware human beings, and in the process, contribute to the healing of the body politic as well as our own lives in ways both little and big.

La scienza della meditazione

Summary

La "meditazione consapevole" è una pratica affermata e in costante diffusione di cui Jon Kabat-Zinn è stato precursore, maestro indiscusso e autore di testi fondamentali e illuminanti. Fra questi l'ormai classico "Riprendere i sensi" che l'autore ha deciso di riproporre in una versione ampliata e rinnovata in quattro volumi indipendenti, ognuno relativo a un aspetto della mindfulness. Nel primo di questi volumi, "La scienza della meditazione", Jon Kabat-Zinn sgombra il campo da ogni equivoco sulla mindfulness, che non è una tecnica per rilassarsi raggiungendo una sorta di oblio e rimuovendo il proprio presente con il suo carico di preoccupazioni. È, invece, un atto di grande consapevolezza, che tutti possono raggiungere attraverso la meditazione, e che ci aiuta a concentrarci sul momento presente per viverlo con intensità, imparando a vedere la pienezza dell'esperienza in tutti i suoi aspetti positivi e negativi e riuscendo anche a interpretare i momenti negativi come possibili passaggi di crescita. La mindfulness non è una filosofia, è una pratica che va seguita con costanza, ma che può inserirsi con facilità nella routine quotidiana di ognuno di noi. E questo audiolibro è il miglior punto di partenza.

Summary

More than 20 years ago, Jon Kabat-Zinn changed the way we thought about awareness in everyday life with his now-classic introduction to mindfulness, Wherever You Go, There You Are. He followed that up with 2005's Coming to Our Senses, the definitive book for our time on the connection between mindfulness and our well-being on every level, physical, cognitive, emotional, social, planetary, and spiritual. Now, Coming to Our Senses is being repackaged into four smaller works, each focusing on a different aspect of mindfulness,and each with a new foreword written by the author. In the fourth of these works, Mindfulness for All (which was originally published as Part VII and Part VIII of Coming to Our Senses), Kabat-Zinn focuses on how mindfulness really can be a tool to transform the world - explaining how democracy thrives in a mindful context, and why mindfulness is a vital tool for both personal and global understanding and action in these tumultuous times.  By "coming to our senses" - both literally and metaphorically - we can become more compassionate, more embodied, more aware human beings, and in the process, contribute to the healing of the body politic as well as our own lives in ways both little and big.
