Latest reviews of Mindfulness for Beginners — Jon Kabat-Zinn app for iPhone and iPad
Is this the book or not? I mindfully observe that this is unclear and the answer to this question is necessary before mindfully parting with $9.99.
I never realized how meditation quieted the mind! These are wonderful meditations ! Highly recommend them.
I am a user with over 500 hours of active use on this app, and its prior versions. Im very pleased with KBZ content, it is amazing. However the software app team that developed this latest release has created unnecessary barriers to entry for the user (online req, additional command prompts, obsoleted prior paid for version). I have gone from five star to one star on this app
I often listen to this program after working out, while sitting in my rocking chair with a cup of coffee. Although half of the recording is devoted to several exercises in meditation, I find Dr. Kabat-Zins discussions of mindfulness comforting and intellectually stimulating. Its food for thought and for letting go of thought. There are few people who are as effective as Kabat-Zin in presenting the subject and who have both soothing natural voices and effective modalities for application. Dr. Kabat-Zins application of mindfulness practices at The University of Massachusetts Medical Center has established empirical evidence of his methods usefulness for helping patients with biological illness, pain, and other challenges to well-being. I have issues of chronic pain that have slipped into the background owing, in part, to my learning from Kabat-Zin and his protégés. Highly recommended, 5 stars.
This is a masterpiece for anyone interested in learning how to meditate. The introduction through the guided sessions are fantastic!
