Mindfulness, Stress Reduction and Healing with John Kabat-Zinn

Another Google TechTalk from Jon Kabot-Zinn this one on "Mindfulness, Stress Reduction and Healing" from March 8, 2007



In this talk Jon describes the revolution in medicine that has occurred over the past 30 years that has integrated the mind back into the body and developed a remarkable range of practices for integrating one's experience, reducing stress, healing the body, coping more effectively with emotions such as anxiety, anger, and depression, and cultivating greater well-being and happiness.

His work has been instrumental in bringing Buddhist meditative practices, as he likes to say, "without the Buddhism" to full acceptance within the mainstream of medicine, psychology, and health care, and has shown them to be effective in people suffering from a wide range of medical conditions.
