    Jon Kabat-Zinn talks about the nine attitudes of mindfulness, and how to use them in our mindfulness practice and daily life, in this video.

    Jon Kabat-Zinn, PhD, is the founder of the Center for Mindfulness in Medicine, Health Care, and Society at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, and of its Stress Reduction Clinic. He teaches mindfulness and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) in various venues around the world. The attitudes in this video are part of how Kabat-Zinn teaches mindfulness in MBSR.

    Kabat-Zinn’s MBSR began to get increasing attention with the publication of his first book, Full Catastrophe Living: Using the Wisdom of Your Body and Mind to Face Stress, Pain, and Illness (Delta, 1990), which gave detailed instructions for the practice.
