In 1997, I had a stent put into one of my arteries. It was shortly after I found this meditation on cassette tape. A few years later, it was on a CD. Then in 2013, I got my first smart phone. This meditation is my lifeline. I take a 45 minute nap with it during the day; listen when I wake up during the night. Iโve read some of his books. Meditation is necessary for good mental health

I had this cassette set in 2002 when I took up the arduous task of trying to start a meditation practice after 9-11 when, as a new practitioner with unrecognized PTSD, I could not stay seated in meditation. It was how I could practice. I eventually gave my tape to a woman in a meditation group I eventually joined after building my practice when she was in hospice care. It's a great reunion to hear this instruction.

I studied mindful meditation in 2011 and Jon Kabat Zinn was used a our text and practice.
I practiced and studied this for 4 months and found the body scan to be very effective pain relief at the time. Its now taken me 11 years to get back to starting this over again in my daily practice after being diagnosed with neuroendocrine cancer 4 years ago..this is very effective. ๐

I have been practicing meditation for years but was always irritated by the amounts of time my thoughts would hijack me and the frustration of once again failing to focus till Dr Zinn"s one phrase completely changed the meaning and practice of meditation for me. In a lecture he said that itโs not about how many moments of focus youโve been able to achieve in meditation but how many times youโve noticed that your mind has wandered. Practice of meditation is about being aware when your thoughts have driven you away and gently bringing your focus back. Thatโs the practice! How simple. How profound. Thank you Dr Zinn. It is changing my whole being and moment at a time.
