TrustMindfulnessMeditationWhereverYouGoThereYouAre Jon Kabat-Zin recognizes the stability that trust brings. More concretely, when we place our trust in a process, person, or our own selves it provides us with security, comfort, and guidance.

To reap the benefits of mindfulness, we need to have trust in our abilities to:

  • Observe
    • Trust we can calm the mind and be present!
  • Be open and attentive
    • Trust we can allow ourselves to be and feel anything that comes up!
  • Reflect upon experience
    • Trust we can remember and review what came up in meditation!
  • Grow and learn from observing and attending
    • Trust we can apply what we learn from what we reviewed!
  • Know something deeply
    • Trust we can take away deep insights from the whole process!

What do I trust about my own practice?

  • I trust in my discipline to sit down and try
  • I trust in my ability to breathe!
  • I trust in my knowledge of a deep calm within
  • I trust in my dedication to stay committed
