COURSE OBJECTIVES:

  • Utilize guided meditations as tools to help you to strengthen the qualities of mindfulness, compassion, including self-compassion, and lovingkindness in every aspect of your life.
  • Utilize the array of mindfulness practices described in Coming to Our Senses,beginning with mindfulness of breathing and mindfulness of body sensations--stepping out of time altogether and into the timelessness of the present moment.

  • Practice guided meditations to become more intimate with the “domain of being,” that aspect of what and who we are that is far bigger and more magnificent that thestories we tell ourselves about what and who we are.

 

These mp3 programs constitute the core practice curriculum of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) in the Stress Reduction Clinic. They are meant to be used in conjunction with Dr. Kabat-Zinn'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 this book, as well as pictures of the mindful hatha yoga sequences. Thousands of people have used these programs either alone or in conjunction with the book to develop and sustain a meditation practice based on mindfulness, and to benefit from its stress reducing, healing, and transformational potential when practiced regularly.

CDs

As the technology has changed over the past thirty four years, these Series 3 guided mindfulness meditation practice programs, first available in audiocasette form, became available in the form of CDs, and now, as digital downloads and also smartphone apps (link). The content of the CD program is the same on all platforms. You will find that audiotapes are mentioned in the Series 1 meditations because of they were originally in that form alone. The CDs are packaged in a protective folder that includes a page of instructions on "How to Use Your Mindfulness Meditation Practice CDs" and a note of explanation about the program from Dr. Kabat-Zinn. 

Series 3 is a set of guided meditations developed to accompany Dr. Kabat-Zinn's book, Coming to Our Senses: Healing Ourselves and the World Through Mindfulness (2005). It makes use of a language that emphasizes our capacity to be in touch with our experience, both inwardly and outwardly, through refining our awareness of the sensory world.  The practices begin with the cultivation of mindfulness of breathing (the "breathscape") and mindfulness of body sensations (the "bodyscape") on the three bands of CD #1.

CD #2 features the cultivation of mindfulness via the experience of hearing whatever is coming to the ears (the "soundscape") and to the experiencing of thoughts and emotions unfolding from moment to moment (the "mindscape"). This CD also includes a lying down meditation in the yogic corpse pose, specifically designed to help us learn how to cultivate mindfulness while lying down, to actually learn how to fall awake to the full range of our present moment experience by "dying" to the past and the future, rather than, as so often happens when practicing meditation while lying down, inadvertently falling asleep.

CD #3 features the practice of choiceless awareness (the "nowscape"), in which we let go of selecting specific objects of attention to feature in the field of awareness and to be mindful of, and instead, invite our awareness to be so spacious that it includes anything and everything that might arise in any present moment, just as a mirror does not choose what to reflect but reflects whatever comes before it. This CD also features instructions for mindful walking meditation, which can be practiced on your own once you have listened to the instructions.

CD #4 features an extended loving kindness meditation, directed both inwardly and outwardly, in which we cultivate intimacy with the landscape of our own heart, the heartscape and open to its capacity for deep nurturance, empathy, and healing for ourselves and for others . It also includes a guided meditation on how to bring mindfulness effortlessly into every aspect of everyday life, into what you might call the lifescape. When all is said and done, perhaps this is the most profound and most important of all these practices, and will make the most difference in your life and the lives of those you love and care for.
