Product Description
Perhaps no additional person has done more to bring mindfulness meditation into the contemporary landscape of America than Jon Kabat-Zinn. Th rough a number of research studies, and through Kabat-Zinn’s pioneering work at the University of Massachusetts Medical School where he is founder of its world-renowned Stress Reduction Clinic, mindfulness is finally being recognizable as a highly effective tool for dealing with stress, chronic pain, and additional illnesses. Today, with a four-part home training course, Jon Kabat-Zinn offers listeners the definitive mindfulness meditation practice on CD. “We are not trying to actively achieve a state of deep relaxation—or any additional state for that matter—while practicing mindfulness,” he teaches. “But fascinatingly, by opening to an awareness of how things really are in the present moment, we regularly taste very deep states of relaxation and well-being—of both body and mind.” Join the bestselling leader of Coming to Our Senses (Hyperion, 2005) and Wherever You Go, There You Are (Hyperion 1995) to renovate and deepen your personal mindfulness practice, and to taste the universal aspects of stillness, clarity, wisdom, compassion, and well-being that Guided Mindfulness Meditation offers.

It’s very disappointing to read/listen to individuals who take ancient buddhists texts and re-interpret the texts as their own. Kabat-Zinn borrows so much and rarely mentions Buddhism. Pitiful. For persons critically evaluating the book/audio, it’s useful to note that many of these new thoughts are really ancient ones; simply because no one has a copyright on ancient buddhist texts doesn’t imply that we can lacking impunity stealthily borrow their thoughts lacking citation.

I was disappointed by the lack of creativity brought to this expensive set of cd’s. I’m sorry to say, “Guided Mindfulness Meditation” was silent, and slow going. Descriptions, tales, nuggets, and composition were missing. My first buy of Dr. Kabat-Zinn’s work was the audiotape, “Wherever You Go There You Are”. Dr. Kabat-Zinn did a fantastic job here through his use of voice, composition, and text. He was able to transport me to a peaceful state, his soothing voice lyrically illustrating relaxation descriptions. Soothing composition was the backdrop for his appealing approach mixing together fact and tale. I was hoping “Guided Mindfullness Meditation” would be just as inviting.

I can only agree with the additional negative reviews regarding Kabat-Zinn’s voice. When I listen to a mindfulness tape I don’t want to be thinking about the reader’s saliva or lack of. I cannot listen to these CDs now due to his voice. There are really free guided meditations and body scans online that are much better.
It is also a GREAT disappointment that he mentions relaxation as a goal of e.g. body scanning which is incorrect, incorrect, incorrect. It is not a goal with mindfulness which he is very well aware of so I cannot know why he would say in the beginning that we do the body scan to dwell in a deep state of relaxation.
Huh?
That is not the purpose of mindfulness/meditation/body scanning/yoga and if that is your goal then you are doomed to failure.
Otherwise I like Kabat-Zinn and his work, but I am baffled by these CDs.

I have taken a class based on Jon Kabat-Zinn’s mindfulness meditation. The instructor had made a tape similar to this one – it was wonderful. Sorry to say the ancient tape broke, so I ordered this CD. The voice, whose-ever it is (hopefully not Zinn’s), is so annoying and it is way too wordy. There are so many superfluous words that mean nothing – the guided body meditation is completely lost. There needs to be precise guidance and pauses where nothing is said. As it is it’s useless.
