Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn spoke last year at Dartmouth College. The topic of his speech is “The Healing Power of Mindfulness.”
Some of the ways we use our minds includes worry about things that haven’t happened yet and planning what will happen next.
He said, “In this moment, your life is just like this!”
Recent research in neuroscience has found that the default mode of our brains is very active.
More quotes from this talk: “Mindfulness is paying attention on purpose in the present moment non-judgmentally.”
Another quote: “As long as you are breathing, there is more right with you then wrong with you.”
There are many moments of practice in the video.
Mindfulness in Healing is then name of an ongoing class I teach at the Pine Street Clinic in San Anselmo, California on Wednesday nights starting at 7:00. This class has been meeting every week since the summer solstice of 2009.
If you know anyone who could benefit from Mindfulness in Healing, please share with them.
