Thank you, Jon, for this free anytime tool. Definitely adding to my healing toolkit ❤

Totally lost in thoughts and the drama triggered by an ocean of emotion swept up by taking thought as truth. Thank you Jon for reminding me all of this is illusion and guiding me back home

May your life be filled with peace and joy. Thank you for sharing this video.

I'm not new to Dr. Zinn's concepts; in fact, more than 2 decades ago I think his book Full Catastrophe Living saved my life as I suffered from chronic nerve pain.. Myriad health issues and nearing the end of life I still find peace in his sensitive and calming voice and counsel. Thank you so much.

Decades ago I attended a conference in Boston when you were first starting your joy, putting forth. This morning early I was contemplating what is God, who is God or spirit, the why does all this exist as mankind is not doing too well at it at all. Is is really a giant cat playing with us mice for the fun of it? And where would I go for an answer or for some kind of hope. I was on the edge of being deeply troubled. Upon waking I listened to a Lee Carroll/Kryon channeling on Synchronicity, in the early morning just lighting of the day, wondering what I was going to do. Without opening my eyes your voice was there with the words I knew were for me to hear and a delightful shudder passed through me. I’d twice done the full Mindfulness course but could never ‘meditate’ although I knew it was needed. I have lived my entire 80 years with the knowing that one just gets to say yes. It has been a good life. I don’t know what I will be saying yes to today and going forth, but I do know it will be ok. I thank you profoundly for your unswerving journey on your sacred Sacbe illuminated path for all. With appreciation, gratitude and deep thankfulness. Namaste7

And again, all is well, after this meditation 😊 Thank you, Jon and to all that made this sharing possible 🙏🏾🌸

I love these meditations from the mitigation retreat last year. I was at many of them. I love their length, their simplicity & stillness - just Jon's voice. Thank you very much for posting these.

Listening to Jon is so calming - he is one in 3 that I return to and intend to be with more each day because I need his guidance to remind me of our Oneness.

Thank you once again Jon, I began all this at 33 and grew but life and people and more so my ego broke me. So how did I get here again? I love it and now at 53 instead of coming home trying to forget my pain, now I look forward to coming home to this session. I am empowered by myself again instead of my past. Now I can control my life once again . I have become still. I watched most of your videos but this one, I like it. Good vibes to people I meet today good vibes to my old friend who will beat his illness. Good vibes and love to all of you reading. Thank you Jon❤

For me the quietness is when I am able to listen to the rhythm of my body, the heart , veins and arteries and my chest / abdomen expanding and contracting. it is both terrifying should one of them fail and thrilling that I can feel all of them .

🙏❤️🤗

Dr. Jon Kabat, I have question. Is any of worry, stress, anxiety make effect on parasympathetic nerve. This meditation make relax parasympathetic nurse and release all pain the body for while, then thinking of life problem to solve, then again head pain start. I am curious that this kind of head pain is because of all kind of thinking process and moving around and effect in parasympathetic nerve. Is this right? It mean parasympathetic nerve is getting weak on the body, is this right? I am learning and curing my head pain doing this meditation and relaxing process. I hope, I will get answer. Thank you.

I was wondering what is the name of the devices you used before you started the meditation

Take Refuge From Reaction

How can I become a part of these future zoom sessions? Would love to know more

Love you Jon but the sound quality is nasty

I really need to meditate but my emotions are running high when I close my eyes. How do you overcome the resistance to stay centered and calm?

Too much talk !! Too much guidance!,
