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.

This program was released in 1982 and re-mastered in 2009. For that reason, on the DVD version, Jon Kabat-Zinn looks much younger than he does now. He was 38 at the time. The World of Relaxation was and still is a novel and radical use of television, aimed at reaching out to patients lying in bed in the hospital and inviting them to experiment inwardly, with Jon’s guidance, in bringing mindful awareness to their present-moment circumstances, utilizing the occasion of having to lie in bed for some time — whatever the viewer’s medical condition and prognosis — to do something for him or herself to promote healing of the mind and body, as a vital complement to whatever the health care system and one’s doctors are doing by way of medical treatments and rehabilitation. Over one hundred hospitals have used this program over the years on their in-house television channels, and doctors often prescribe it to their patients, recommending that they practice with it several times a day. The program is meant to be “done” by the viewer/listener, rather than “viewed” or listened to. During most of the time, the listener is encouraged to have his or her eyes closed.In the past 30 years, Dr. Kabat-Zinn’s eight-week out-patient mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) program has spread from the University of Massachusetts Memorial Medical Center to hospitals and clinics across the United States and around the world and occasioned an entire field of clinical medicine and basic and clinical research, much of which has already demonstrated the profoundly positive mental and physical health consequences of practicing mindfulness meditation both formally and informally in one’s daily life. The practices in The World of Relaxation are guided meditations similar to the formal practices in MBSR, particularly mindfulness of breathing, body sensations, thoughts and emotions; and the body scan.
The original harp music by Georgia Kelly was composed specifically for this program and is played by the composer. Harp music has been associated with healing since pre-biblical times. The music enhances the process of relaxation and establishes a flowing rhythmicity that entrains the listener’s attention and carries it through the various stages of the program. The notes of the harp have the quality of coming out of silence and disappearing back into silence, singly and in raining curtains of sounds, just as do our thoughts and emotions. Mindfulness, one’s capacity to inhabit the present moment with non-judgmental awareness, deepens over the course of a single session and even more, through repeated practicing with this program over days, weeks, months and years. The learning occasioned by practicing with this program on a regular basis can stand one in good stead from moment to moment and from day to day as one’s life continues to unfold.

By taking the Buddhism out of the practice, Kabat-Zinn pioneered a meditative approach used all over the world to treat pain and depression. He talks about Trump, ‘McMindfulness’ and how a 10-second vision in 1979 led to a change in the world’s consciousness

Brain Research shows the hardest thing for the brain to do, is to let go of thoughts.
For this reason, cultivating the attitude of letting go, or non-attachment, is fundamental to the practice of mindfulness. When we start paying attention to our inner experience, we rapidly discover that there are certain thoughts and feelings and situations that the mind seems to want to hold on to. If they are pleasant, we try to prolong these thoughts or feelings or situations, stretch them out, and conjure them up again and again.

Discover the power of meditation to alleviate stress with Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn, author of "Wherever You Go, There You Are" and professor at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. He tells host Marcia Alvar about founding the nation's first hospital-affiliated clinic for stress reduction. In this 1994 Upon Reflection interview from the University of Washington, he recounts pioneering the use of mindfulness meditation techniques for thousands of patients suffering from chronic pain and stress and athletes seeking performance improvement.
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.
