How can mindfulness change your life”Jon Kabat Zin.
Can mindfulness helps with anxiety & it’s uncomfortable symptoms? Recently developed anxiety. Overly stressed. Apparently tinnitus fr anxiety. My hearing is really good. 2 different ENTs thinks that once my anxiety subsides the tinnitus will go away. I’m ready for it to go.

BULLSHIT, A CHEAP PACKAGED RIPOFF! (See the Article Link further down, in this review) Western Mindfulness is, nothing more than this, a ripoff of the thousands of years old Traditional Eastern Meditation techniques. Jon Kabat Zinn did not create it, although he certainly tries to take the credit for it.
Mindfulness and meditation are strongly associated with the east, India/China. Jon Kabat Zinn ripped it off and brought it to the States, in order to mass package and distribute it, to the west. JON KABAT ZINN'S goal is to sell it, like some cheap commercial product.
Just one more/another of the many ripoffs, such as Yoga, from the eastern traditions. This is a total insult to the Religious ways of the Eastern cultures. (Western Mindfulness, is a highly watered down product of the true purpose of it. What ZINN has done, is equivalent to repackaging the contents of the Bible, selling it, and calling it his own creation. (MAJOR BLASPHEMY! AN ULTIMATE SIN!)
Jon Kabat Zinn, should be ashamed of himself, portraying himself as some sort of Holy Guru. He is nothing of the sort, he is an obvious capitalist, exploiting mindfulness for profit.
The greatest threat to the true purpose of mindfulness/meditation, is that corporations, which, are now heavily promoting it's use, within their organizations, is to reduce the stress in their workers, that buy into it, so in turn, the corporations can turn around, and thus, work employees even harder, piling more stress/work/duties, on them. (In other words, it is being used by corporate America to get more work out of it's workers.)
GREED IS THEIR PURPOSE FOR USING IT WITHIN THEIR ORGANIZATIONS! READ THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE/LINK, TO SEE THE TRUE USES OF IT/MINDFULNESS, IN AMERICA! CHARLATANS! GREED MONGERS! THIEVES! BLASPHEMERS, ALL!

http://www.alternet.org/personal-health/how-mindfulness-movement-went-mainstream-and-backlash-came-it
JON KABAT ZINN, (IS A FALSE, SELF-APPOINTED GURU) HE, HAS CREATED NOTHING MORE HERE, THAN THE BASTARDIZATION OF MEDITATION/MINDFULNESS, WHICH IS SACRED AND OF GOD, AND WAS MEANT TO BE FREE TO ALL! IT IS NOT A COMMERCIAL PRODUCT! THIEF!
IS NOTHING SACRED, TO CORPORATE AMERICA AND IT'S OLIGARCHS? DEVILS! THE GREED OF AMERICA AND IT'S SO-CALLED LEADERS, NEVER CEASE TO AMAZE AND SHOCK ME!
THE TIME WILL COME, WHEN ALL SUCH PEOPLE WILL PAY, FOR THEIR SINS/GREED, AND PAY DEARLY!
REMEMBER PEOPLE, THERE IS A DARK/NEGATIVE SIDE AND A ENLIGHTENING POSITIVE SIDE, TO EVERYTHING IN LIFE! AMERICA/JON KABAT ZINN, IS NOT USING THESE TECHNIQUES/MINDFULNESS FOR POSITIVE REASONS, HE IS TEACHING/SPREADING THEM TO PROFIT HIMSELF, AND ALL OF CORPORATE AMERICA!
WITH A TINY BIT OF TWEEKING, MEDITATION CAN BECOME A HIGHLY SOPHISTICATED, FORM OF BRAINWASHING! WHICH, HAS, AND IS, BEING DONE HERE! (DO THE RESEARCH PEOPLE) MEDITATION CAN BE HIGHLY POSITIVE AS WELL AS HIGHLY NEGATIVE/BRAINWASHING!
IT ALL DEPENDS ON HOW IT IS USED, AND FOR WHAT PURPOSE! WHEN GIANT CORPORATIONS USE IT, (GOOGLE) YOU NEED TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AND WONDER, WHY!
WHY ARE THEY DOING THIS? DO YOU, REALLY BELIEVE, THAT IT'S BEING DONE TO BENEFIT YOU! GUESS AGAIN!
STOP BEING SHEEPLE! USE YOUR OWN MINDS! STOP BELIEVING EVERY PIECE OF BULLSHIT, THAT OUR FALSE LEADERS, KEEP BASHING INTO OUR MINDS! TAKE BACK YOUR OWN MIND/THOUGHTS! EVERYONE!
WAKE UP AMERICA! WAKE UP EVERYONE! WAKE UP WORLD!
BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE! BEFORE, YOU ARE NOTHING MORE, THAN A PERMANENT MENTAL/PHYSICAL SLAVE TO THE PEOPLE THAT CALL THEMSELVES YOUR MASTERS/LEADERS!
JON KABBAT ZINN, HAS TURNED MEDITATION INTO, MINDFULNESS-MIND-CONTROL!
You want healthy Meditation, follow the ancient traditions of the East, over 5000 years old. NOT THIS BASTARDIZED, MANIPULATIVE, BULLSHIT!
AMERICA'S LEADERS/CORPORATIONS, WILL STEAL ANYTHING THEY CAN GET IT'S HANDS ON, THEN CALL IT THEIR OWN, IF IT CAN GENERATE ANY KIND OF MATERIAL PROFIT/S! HELL, THIS COUNTRY WAS BUILT ON THE BACKS OF PEOPLE IT KIDNAPPED, STOLE, ABUSED AND MURDERED, FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY! I AM TALKING ABOUT SLAVERY! DO YOU REALLY THINK, THAT THE MINDSET OF THIS COUNTRY, AND THE PEOPLE THAT RULE IT, HAS CHANGED IN ANY WAY AT ALL! AMERICA, IS NOW GREEDIER THAN EVER! THIS, IS AN EVER INCREASING STATE OF IT'S EVIL!
THIS IS OBVIOUS, IT EVEN DRUGS IT'S OWN CITIZENS, WITH HIGHLY TOXIC, MIND-ALTERING DRUGS, (ANOTHER FORM OF MIND-CONTROL, ESPECIALLY THE PSYCHOACTIVE DRUGS, ANTIDEPRESSANTS/PSYCHOTROPICS, ETC.) TO THE POINT, THAT IT NOW, WITH A 5% OF THE WORLD POPULATION, CONSUMES, UPWARDS OF 90% OF THE WORLD'S PHARMACEUTICAL OPIATES! THE LATEST LIE/S BEING, "YOU HAVE TO TAKE THIS DRUG FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!" COMPLETE BULLSHIT, OF COURSE! ONLY A CRIMINAL MENTALITY, WOULD EVEN THINK OF EVER, SAYING THIS, TO ANYONE!
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME, YOU SAW ANYONE, TAKING 10+ PHARMACEUTICAL DRUGS, "DAILY", (PRESENTLY, MILLIONS OF SENIOR CITIZENS, FOLLOW THIS DAILY DRUG RITUAL, GETTING SICKER BY THE MINUTE) ACTUALLY GETTING ANY HEALTHIER! "THINK ABOUT IT, PEOPLE!" "ALL LIES AND BRAINWASHING, THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE!"
MIND-CONTROL TAKES PLACE, EVER SINGLE TIME, YOU SWITCH ON YOUR TV SET! THE SCREEN PULSES 30 TIMES A SECOND, THIS INDUCES AN ALPHA WAVE BRAIN STATE, WHICH, THEN ALLOWS THE PROPAGANDHA, TO BYPASS THE CONSCIOUS MIND, TAKING ROOT DIRECTLY INTO YOU SUBCONSCIOUS MIND, WHICH DRIVES ALL HUMAN BEHAVIOR! WHAT YOU BUY, WHAT YOU EAT, WHAT YOU BELIEVE, WHATEVER YOUR GOVERNMENT TELLS YOU!
DO THE RESEARCH. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE INVENTION OF TV! IT'S WHAT TV WAS INVENTED FOR! FOR GOVERNMENT TO STEP INTO YOUR HOME, EVERY SINGLE DAY, AND PROGRAM AND PULL ALL OF YOUR STRINGS, WITHOUT YOUR CONSCIOUS AWARENESS! VIDEOS, LIKE THE ONE ABOVE, ARE JUST MORE OF THE SAME! COMPLIMENTS OF JON KABAT ZINN!
SO, "BE A FOOL!", GO OUT AND SPEND HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS FOR A DISTORTED MINDFULNESS PROGRAM, WHEN, WITH A LITTLE INTERNET RESEARCH, YOU COULD LEARN TO DO IT ALL FOR FREE, THE HEALTHY EASTERN WAY! FREE! THE WAY ALL RELIGION/PHILOSOPHY WAS MEANT TO BE! FREE!
DO NOT BELIEVE ME, JUST BECAUSE I SAY IT'S SO! DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH, USE YOUR OWN MIND, FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF! PROVE IT TO YOURSELF!
"AWAKEN ALL! ALL OF THOSE, WHO WOULD BE FREE!"
"AWAKEN!", FROM YOUR MINDLESS, PROGRAMMED, LIFE-LONG SINCE BIRTH/MEDIA-INDUCED SLEEP!
Jon Kabat Zinn is one of my personal heroes. You can tell by the way he talks and writes that he sincerely cares about helping others.
Just wonderful,
Excellent this: I hope to become more mindful and be able to enjoy and absorb the beauty that life has to offer!
I think Mindfulness practice might be strengthened with the assistance of cognitive behaviour therapy for some mental disorder such as depression and anxiety disorder. Sometimes I feel it is quite difficult to calm my mind only by mindfulness in certain circumstances.
Mindfulness means pay attention what's happening here and now, but it doesn't rearrange thinking itself. But cognitive therapy can us a toolkit that think what the situation give us critically and rationally. Both practices will be best when they are used together..
I heard this was a good practice for lucid dreaming.
the illuminati apply mind control to humans since years. this meditation is ourselves re programming our own brains or preforming mind control on our selfs in a productive way. feeding our minds new information.
Wonderful that these fast amazing results have affected so many patients. this will surely be a growing way in the future. in this noisy ,distracting, frustrating, unstable,separated society.
Helped me stop medication like ssri and benzo.. More understanding of the concept will transform the life..
This will take us forward. Thankyou so much Jon and your co-workers. Everybody-Just Do It!
Jon Kabat-Zinn is really a great man and it is amazing what he started back in 1979. We need more individuals such as he.
Is mindfulness a fraud?
No, but its explanation is, and that means a lot.
Here’s how. Simply put, mindfulness is ‘choice less’ awareness in the present moment. A dramatic reduction in somatic arousal or relaxation is one of its hallmark results. However, this relationship between choice reduction and relaxation was also posited in the 1950’s by the influential Dollard-Miller theory of anxiety. The psychologists John Dollard and Neal Miller noted that anxiety occurs as a secondary ‘drive’ that impels people to avoid ongoing perseverative choice conflicts such as rumination, worry, and distraction. Because it helps us to avoid ‘no win’ cognitive scenarios, anxiety is thus rewarded or reinforced. Avoid cognitive perseveration, and you will feel relaxed.
Mindfulness of course eliminates cognitive perseveration, but it also eliminates non-perseverative choices as well. So while being mindful you avoid worry, rumination, and distraction, but you’re also not thinking about what to have for dinner or the nature of the universe either. And here’s the rub for mindfulness and why as a remedy for stress it is overkill. Mindfulness simply over-prescribes the cognitive events that need to be avoided to achieve relaxation. All you need to do to be relaxed is avoid consistently perseverative thoughts, and to do that you don’t need to be mindful, but simply apply some simple mental hygiene. This is not good news for the billion dollar mindfulness industry, but sometimes facts can bite hard when you kick the tires on silly new age nostrums.
For more on Dollard and Miller and a much more detailed argument from a lay and academic perspective, the following e-book (free of course) is offered for your perusal, with the assurance that no five day seminar is required.

this was recommended to me by a friend
I like this program of stress reduction for patience. it's a good approach that allows us of (re)alignment.
My concern is mindfulness is becoming commercialized and, as of today (9/20/15) there are too many people making this seem a panacea. MBSR works to help you Chang eyour relationship to your life through your own discipline with the practice. It takes time and is no quick fix.
Works for me . Life transformed. 🙂 🙂
meditation plus yoga shd be in psychiatry/psycholgy right now.
When mindfulness becomes your natural state of being without effort or thinking needed, THAT is when you know you've truly changed as a person.
These people are heroes. We are on the verge of understanding mind body. The current medical model is dead. We can do so much more.
keep your eye on the ball & your awareness on your breath….BINGO!!
Something I also found helpfull for meditation music relax mind body with voice is Skyarza Meditation Success Star – it will be on google if you need it.
Jon Kabat Zinn is the man. He seems like such a sincere, loving man, with his head firmly rooted in reason and reality.
Hopefully we as a culture can follow his example. We've made a mess of the world, both internal and external.
I love the song in the background haha. lowered my stressresponse by 50% in itself with the calmless of the presentation.
So many crazy people need this stuff, hey got anything for lieing, self centered, ego, shick , no common since pos..?? hummm do ya..???? Look around, there everyway…
Help meeeee..hehehe….
I feel an incredible appreciation for JKZ, as a result of his work and that of Vidyamala Burch, it has enabled me to live well and teach others how to reduce their suffering. Watching this video reminds me of the requirement for an open heart, patience and courage – to be with my own suffering and the suffering in the world. Thanks JKZ – this is an incredible lineage to be a part of.
I've practiced mindfulness meditation for over a year now and it has made a big difference. I started because i kept getting severe depressions and had to be hospitalized three times in the last two years. Now i am off the antidepressants and finding psychotherapy more useful/insightful than before.
