Der erfolgreiche Klassiker – jetzt in einer vollständig überarbeiteten Neuausgabe18 Jahre nach der ersten Auflage von Mit Kindern wachsen haben Myla und Jon Kabat-Zinn ihr Buch grundlegend überarbeitet – dabei aber die Essenz der ursprünglichen Ausgabe bewahrt: dass das Leben mit Kindern ein Weg von ungeahnter Tiefe und Erfüllung sein kann.
Nie zuvor sind die wissenschaftlichen Beweise so unwiderlegbar gewesen, dass die Schulung von Achtsamkeit ausgeprägte positive Effekte für uns selbst und für alle haben kann, mit denen wir zusammenleben. Und nie zuvor ist es für Eltern wichtiger gewesen, diese Veranlagung, die wir alle haben, zu kultivieren – zu Bewusstheit und herzlicher Offenheit für den gegenwärtigen Moment und letztendlich zu größerer Weisheit, wie man ein erfülltes und sinnvolles Leben führen kann.
Die behandelten Themen sind vielfältig und reichen von grundsätzlichen Überlegungen bis hin zu vielen praktischen Beispielen und konkreten Hinweisen für ein harmonisches Leben mit Kindern. Ein wertvoller Ratgeber für alle, die in ihrem Elterndasein neue Wege gehen möchten.
This is a ground-breaking journey across India, Tibet and China, to explore traditional medicine and natural ways of healing. In this comprehensive look into traditional medicine we connect all three countries through the core philosophy of the Five Elements, Yin and Yang and the common belief that a life-force or energy called Chi (Prana) exists that is vital to sustain a healthy life.

These four 45 minute guided meditations constitute the core practice curriculum of MBSR (mindfulness-based stress reduction). They are meant to be used in conjunction with Jon’s book, Full Catastrophe Living: Using the Wisdom of Your Body and Mind to Face Stress, Pain and Illness. You will find extensive descriptions of these practices in the book, as well as pictures of the gentle mindful hatha yoga sequences. Tens of thousands of people have used these programs either alone or in conjunction with the book to develop and sustain a regular mindfulness meditation practice, and to benefit from its stress reducing, healing, and transformational potential when practiced regularly.
Series 2 is designed for people who want a range of shorter guided meditations to help them develop and/or expand and deepen a personal mindfulness meditation practice. It gives you sitting and lying down meditations of varying lengths to choose from, depending on how much time you can make for formal practice on any given day. Series 2 also includes the popular “mountain meditation” (sitting) and “lake meditation” (lying down), as well as silence with bells at various times for practicing without guidance. Series 2 is meant to be used in conjunction with Jon's book, WhereverYou Go, There You Are: Mindfulness Meditation in Everyday Life
Series 3 is a set of guided meditations developed to accompany Jon’s book, Coming to Our Senses: Healing Ourselves and the World Through Mindfulness, which will be republished in four volumes in 2018. These meditations emphasize our capacity to be in touch with experience through awareness of the sensory world: breathscape, bodyscape, soundscape, mindscape, heartscape, and nowscape. The practices begin with the cultivation of mindfulness of breathing and mindfulness of body sensations and then move on in sequence to hearing and to the experiencing of thoughts and emotions as they unfold from moment to moment. It also includes a lying down meditation on “dying” to the past and the future and thus waking up to the present moment. Also featured is the practice of choiceless awareness (the nowscape), instructions for mindful walking meditation, an extended loving kindness meditation (the heartscape), and a guided meditation on how to bring mindfulness effortlessly into every aspect of everyday life, what we might call the lifescape.

Evidence for aquatic foraging, fishing, and scavenging by hominins dates back at least two million years, but aquatic resource use intensified with the appearance of Homo sapiens. The development of new fishing and seafaring technologies contributed to population growth and the spread of humans around the world. By the late Pleistocene and early Holocene, fishing peoples lived along coastlines, rivers, and lakes in Africa, Eurasia, Australia, and the Americas, creating shell midden soils marked by accumulations of mollusk shells, animal bones, artifacts, and other cultural debris. After global sea level rise slowed ∼8000 years ago, a proliferation of shell middens formed an increasingly prominent stratigraphic signature for identifying and defining an Anthropocene Epoch. The formation of these distinctive cultural soils, often marked by unique soil chemistry and biotic communities, is essentially contemporaneous with the development of agricultural economies and the widespread soil and landscape changes associated with them. Defined by these global and highly visible anthropogenic soil signatures, I propose that the Anthropocene began about 10,000 years ago and should replace or be merged with the Holocene.

Some Reflections and Guidance on the Cultivation of Mindfulness and its Moment-by-Moment Integration in Life Unfolding - Jon Kabat-Zinn, PhD
<p>The author recounts some of the early history of what is now known as MBSR, and its relationship to mainstream medicine and the science of the mind/body connection and health. He stresses the importance that MBSR and other mindfulness-based interventions be grounded in a universal dharma understanding that is congruent with Buddhadharma but not constrained by its historical, cultural and religious manifestations associated with its counties of origin and their unique traditions. He locates these developments within an historic confluence of two very different epistemologies encountering each other for the first time, that of science and that of the meditative traditions. The author addresses the ethical ground of MBSR, as well as questions of lineage and of skillful ‘languaging’ and other means for maximizing the possibility that the value of cultivating mindfulness in the largest sense can be heard and embraced and cultivated in commonsensical and universal ways in secular settings. He directly addresses mindfulness-based instructors on the subject of embodying and drawing forth the essence of the dharma without depending on the vocabulary, texts, and teaching forms of traditional Buddhist environments, even though they are important to know to one degree or another as part of one's own development. The author's perspective is grounded in what the Zen tradition refers to as the one thousand year view. Although it is not stated explicitly in this text, he sees the current interest in mindfulness and its applications as signaling a multi-dimensional emergence of great transformative and liberative promise, one which, if cared for and tended, may give rise to a flourishing on this planet akin to a second, and this time global, Renaissance, for the benefit of all sentient beings and our world.</p>

Die Praxis der Achtsamkeit ist ein wertvolles Hilfsmittel, uns zu regenerieren und unser inneres Gleichgewicht wiederzufinden. Sie befähigt uns, jeden Augenblick unseres Lebens mit größerer Wachheit, Klarheit und Akzeptanz zu leben, auch inmitten alltäglicher Stresssituationen und im Angesicht körperlicher oder seelischer Schmerzen.Diese CD mit Begleitheft enthält eine Anleitung zur Achtsamkeitsmeditation und zum Body-Scan, wie sie von Jon Kabat-Zinn in der Stress-Reduction-Clinic entwickelt wurden.
Jon Kabat-Zinn ist Gründer der Stress-Reduction-Clinic, des Instituts für Achtsamkeit in Medizin, Gesundheitsvorsorge und Gesellschaft und Professor emeritus der Medizin an der Universität von Massachusetts. Sein Programm zur Praxis der Achtsamkeit im Gesundheitswesen, kurz MBSR (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction), wird in den USA seit über 30 Jahren von mittlerweile mehr als 5.000 Ärzten angeboten.
Jon Kabat-Zinn (born Kabat on June 5, 1944) is Professor of Medicine Emeritus and creator of the Stress Reduction Clinic and the Center for Mindfulness in Medicine, Health Care, and Society at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. Kabat-Zinn was a student of Buddhist teachers such as Thich Nhat Hanh and Zen Master Seung Sahn and a founding member of Cambridge Zen Center. His practice of yoga and studies with Buddhist teachers led him to integrate their teachings with those of science. He teaches mindfulness, which he says can help people cope with stress, anxiety, pain, and illness. The stress reduction program created by Kabat-Zinn, called Mindfulness-based stress reduction, is offered by medical centers, hospitals, and health maintenance organizations.
A previous study of 22 medical patients with DSM-III-R-defined anxiety disorders showed clinically and statistically significant improvements in subjective and objective symptoms of anxiety and panic following an 8-week outpatient physician-referred group stress reduction intervention based on mindfulness meditation. Twenty subjects demonstrated significant reductions in Hamilton and Beck Anxiety and Depression scores postintervention and at 3-month follow-up. In this study, 3-year follow-up data were obtained and analyzed on 18 of the original 22 subjects to probe long-term effects. Repeated measures analysis showed maintenance of the gains obtained in the original study on the Hamilton [F(2,32) = 13.22; p < 0.001] and Beck [F(2,32) = 9.83; p < 0.001] anxiety scales as well as on their respective depression scales, on the Hamilton panic score, the number and severity of panic attacks, and on the Mobility Index-Accompanied and the Fear Survey. A 3-year follow-up comparison of this cohort with a larger group of subjects from the intervention who had met criteria for screening for the original study suggests generalizability of the results obtained with the smaller, more intensively studied cohort. Ongoing compliance with the meditation practice was also demonstrated in the majority of subjects at 3 years. We conclude that an intensive but time-limited group stress reduction intervention based on mindfulness meditation can have long-term beneficial effects in the treatment of people diagnosed with anxiety disorders.

<p>A three year follow-up of 22 individuals suffering from DSM defined anxiety disorder who participated in a time-limited, physician-referred mindfulness meditation program showed maintenance of the significant stress and panic reduction that had previously been observed during an initial three month follow-up. Measures used were Hamilton and Beck Anxiety and Depression surveys. The results seem to indicate intense, time-limited mindfulness based interventions can be effective in the long term treatment of anxiety disorders. (Zach Rowinski 2005-03-04)</p>
