Befriending Your Mind, Befriending Your Life: Mindfulness and the Endless Adventure of Growing into Yourself by Jon Kabat-Zinn

Following is a snippet (12.25mins) from the presentation Befriending Your Mind, Befriending Your Life: Mindfulness and the Endless Adventure of Growing into Yourself, Jon Kabat-Zinn did at the Bridging the Minds and Hearts of Youth: Mindfulness in Clinical Practice, Education and Research Conference (February 2013).

In this snippet Jon discusses –

• the curriculum of Being,
• the practice of mindfulness – there is no separation between practice and performance,
• how mindfulness is about the attending itself,
• one study about people trained in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and not-trained in MBSR,
• boredom is another mind state, just like anger, sadness etc. and
• how we can take many things for granted until we get woken up.
