Jon Kabat-Zinn Meditation
Wisdom Radio Hour
In this special episode of the Wisdom 2.0 Radio Hour, Jon Kabat-Zinn begins the meditation with levity and humor: “Mindfulness is not about getting anywhere, it’s not about having some special experience — dropping into some special state, becoming ‘wise’ and more photogenic in the process. It’s about being who you already are in your fullness.” Jon invites the 2018 Mindfulness in America audience (and us listeners) to “just simply rest here in awareness”.
