The Essence of Mindfulness
In this podcast episode, John Cabot-Zinn, a pioneer in the mindfulness movement, discusses the essence of mindfulness and its impact on our lives. Cabot-Zinn explains that mindfulness is synonymous with awareness and the opposite of mindlessness or unawareness. The practice of mindfulness allows us to fully live in the present moment and be aware of our thoughts, sensations, and emotions without judgment or attachment to any particular outcome. It is about being with things as they are, whether pleasant, unpleasant, or neutral. By developing this skill, we can free ourselves from the constant stream of thoughts and truly experience life. Cabot-Zinn emphasizes that mindfulness is not about acquiring a special state or feeling, but rather, it is about being fully present in the only moment we have.
