Hey anybody hot a Link? Pleased DM me! Thanks!!
Non-judgment - paying attention to your opinions as they arise. JKZ talks about how the human mind sorts things into boxes - good, bad, neutral. By taking a perspective of non-judgement and being aware we can take the most joy from the good things, accept the bad things (doing us less harm), and become more aware of the neutral things, realising how much they contribute to our lives. Of course judgmental thoughts still arise but we can simply observe them and let them pass without acting on them.
Patience - letting things unfold in their own time. Meditation isn’t difficult to learn but it does require patience and persistence. It takes some time to see the benefits of it, you need to stick with it. Doing it once a week is helpful but when you make time for a little bit of practice every day for six weeks the evidence shows its actually rewiring how your brain works, you’re training yourself to be happy. Its also about being patience with ourselves, not setting expectations for achieving a standard in a specific time, and being patient with others who have lived their life through a set of circumstances we’re not aware of.
Beginners mind - seeing the world as if for the first time and seeing the infinite possibilities. Knowledge can limit our perception of what we don’t know, part of becoming wise (rather than clever) is getting comfortable with what we don’t know. When we accumulate a lot of knowledge and become jaded by experience we can lose touch with the joy in our lives.
Trust - listening to our bodies and our senses. Trusting that if we let go of anxieties about the future and regrets from the past and live in the present that everything will be OK - because it really will. When we cultivate trust in ourselves through practice, when we build our calmness and peace and live in the present moment we start to trust other people more because we’re not jumping ahead to what they might do or questioning their motives - we’re existing in the present taking their words and actions at face value. Really listening to other people with an open mind is when we make strong human connections.
Non-striving - we’re always trying to get somewhere, always running toward a destination. But an important aspect of mindfulness is realising that you have arrived in the here and now. We can’t live happily in the future; if everything we’re doing is to achieve, we sacrifice our wellbeing in the present. We tell ourselves we’ll be happy when we

There is a lot of stress and anxiety that is associated with this constant drive. This stress and overthinking can sometimes become debilitating. It was at this point that I started to incorporate more mindfulness practices into my life.
There is a phenomenon known as the Stress Reaction Cycle, where our thoughts and emotions can negatively affect and cause us to react badly. Mindfulness has helped me collect myself and manage this much better than I thought.
I was always a skeptic and questioned how effective meditation and stuff would be for me, but a technique called ‘Dropping In’ and ‘The Mindful Mediated Stress Response’ helped me a whole lot. I dive deep into this whole thing if you’d like to know more here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcIg7OLt3lU
I’m able to balance my ambition and drive now, and simultaneously keep the pressure that is associated with that in check. It’s certainly not a perfect solve, but it’s a damn good one though.
Unlimited good karma from a knowledge seeker :)

I read "Where ever You Go, There You Are" and thought it was fantastic and very helpful. However, I've tried reading "Full Catastrophe Living" and it seemed very wordy and repetitious. I also tried listening to one of his e-books and it was like listening to someone drone on-and-on about how Mindfulness will soon transform mankind. (Which of course it has not done.) They were both like long boring infomercials.
Anyone else feel this way about his writings? He seems to know his stuff, and "Where ever you go" is genius, but his other stuff - not so much.
Thoughts?
WANTED: Jon Kabat-Zinn teaches Mindfulness and Meditation. PM for all info:) Time to try his methods😁
From their book, Everyday Blessings: The Inner Work of Mindful Parenting
“When we are born, we leave this harmonious world and emerge into a new and totally different one. There might be harsh light and cold air. We may hear loud, unpredictable noises and feel roughness or hardness against our skin. We feel hunger for the first time. All of this occurring as a raw, pure experience, with no filters of knowing anything. Imagine being thrust into this foreign environment, were you depend entirely on the inhabitants’ ability to understand your language and to be sensitive and responsive to your whole being, and to what you may need an any given moment.
What quality of experience would you choose: a cold, neoprene nipple or a warm, soft, sweet-smelling breast? To be held tenderly in loving arms or to lie in a crib or plastic baby seat? To be left to cry until you fell asleep, or to feel a sympathetic responsiveness? To experience that when you cry, you’ll be picked up, or put to the breast, or made warm and dry with a diaper change, or rocked and held or sung to?
Why is it so hard for us to see our infants as fully feeling, fully experiencing beings? Why is it okay to let infants cry it out when we would never ignore the cries of a friend or lover or even a stranger? What might we be resisting, or protecting ourselves from, when we distance ourselves from a baby’s distress?”
This mindfulness quote from Jon Kabat-Zinn has to be one of our most-loved – and most repeated! Kabat-Zinn is widely recognized as being the father of mindfulness in the Western world. He's also the creator of the original Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) course.
I had experience with methods described by both teachers. I've been using Jon Kabat-Zinn's method for 5+ years, but last year I went to a 10 day retreat and have been meditating with Goenka's method of Vipassana since.
The main difference as I see it:
JK Zinn advisies to focus and be mindful of any stimuli from the environment, including sounds, sensations, feelings and your own thougths, and use your breath as sort of an anchor that you can gently get back to, but the idea is to be in the present moment in a much more general way, observing everything at the same time.
Vippasana as described by Goenka is a bit different. Firstly he makes a clear distinction between Anapana and Vipassana. Anapana focuses on the breath and the breath only, and highlights concentration. Vipassana is sort of like systematic scanning the body, piece by piece, part by part observing any stimuli in a more isolated way. You should acknowledge external stimuli like sounds etc, but not pay any importance to them. The idea is, that the external stimuli or even thoughts will inevitably create a sensation on the body as well, so by observing the body we also observe the environment in an indirect way.
Am I understanding this correctly? Does this make any sense at all? What do you think is the main difference, and which one do you prefer?
