I couldnt think of one moment in my life that I felt unconditional love, even thruout my childhood.. Sad... then remembered my beloved dog. ❤️
It makes sense that the most unconditional love I received was from my dog. He was truly remarkable.
I love the quote at the start of this... "Stepping out of the endless river of doing, and just dropping into being"
The past month I have been attending Addiction-management classes. Initially I felt disappointed by the lack of actual information offered, until I realized it was the connection to others that is so vital to the process of my growth, and the true substance offered by the classes. The facilitators and the other students are such wonderful people, I am so lucky to have met and keep meeting these interesting and magnanimous people.
Makes sense that the unconditional love i recieved was from my dog. He was quite the person.
Yes, thank you, the only unconditional love i can think of comes from my dogs. And cats. Maybe the cats. Definitely the dogs.
not sure about the cats lol@@blissfulpeony
Mine was a tree so....
That’s literally who I envisioned. My childhood dog who protected and loved me no matter what.
I didn't even think to consider that since I kept trying to think of people, but yeah. My dog. I remember this random time we were just on the couch and she was sitting next to me and just leaned on me and put her head on my shoulder and looked up at me like she just adored me. Also, when I was in the worst of my depression she would curl up behind my legs for as long as I needed.
This was such a therapeutic experience. I cried at the self love aspects.. acceptance and unconditional love.. i didnt recall an external time but i believe through meditation and therapy, ill one day have unconditional love an acceptance for myself. Thank you ❤
I just got through with this meditation and it really brought a dichotomy of sadness and compassion for my little self. I felt like I had to search and search to remember where I felt unadulterated love. Logically, my mom showed us love and yet she was a widow with five kids and I think had some difficulty with presence. I also think my lens was skewed because I had a hard time feeling seen or as though I fit in. And at 34 was when I felt the most loved, just a few weeks ago, my mom watched a video of me and said “I see your light Jenna” and I was amazed at how healing that was. I used that moment in the meditation and somehow felt like it made my little girl feel as though she was loved, even if it was hard for her to understand. Thank you for listening. And sending love to all the rest out there 💗💗💗
This man is a National Treasure. 🙏🏾❤️
For me, it is difficult to find that moment of complete acceptance and kindness. I must have focused on the sad and hard parts of my life to forget all the kindness.
This class made me weep. Feels like my heart has been damaged so many times that it was hard for me to recognize a time I was welcomed with unadulterated love. I have just started on my meditation/mindfulness journey and I have a lot more work to do to find that love and peacefulness that has been with me my whole life but has been hidden away through trauma. Namaste❤️
I found Jon a few years back and for the last few months have focussed on his teaching and meditations, and listened to a lot of Buddhist gurus. Let me tell you, a change comes over while you are not even aware of it. It took me away from my anxiety condition and moved me in to a state of happiness for nothing. I cannot believe the change. You have just started your journey, stick to it like glue and you will see the changes that will be for life. Namaste
Love!!
It wasn't hard for me to think of a few times I felt that love, but I still wept. I think because I have such a hard time showing that love to myself. I wish you well on your journey.
The same thing happened to me. I was crying in the end. I've been listening to other meditation videos and it's my first time listening to Jon. I didn't expect that but it was much needed. A lot of memories came to mind and all this time, I was so focused on what went wrong in my life.
Namaste, even after years of mindfulness it’s still difficult for me too. Blessings
That part when he said think of that moment in your childhood (without yet telling those words when you were accepted with unadulterated compassion/kindness) just suddenly remembered that scene when my parents were patiently waiting for me outside our house at past midnight bec I went to a party right after school still in uniform, w/o their knowledge. I was so ready to be scolded that time but only met me with their worried/sad look and my mother in a soft but sad voice, next time don’t do this again. My dad also said you made us so worried😢. Bless their souls, now reminded me again to become a better parent/grandparent😢❤. Thank you🙏
It was only once I knew myself, really got to know me, that I experienced unconditional love. And that’s because it came from within, I was just so at peace and happy with who I was/am. I’ve never experienced that from anyone on this planet. ❤❤❤
I love this meditation. It does bring up emotions that are healing. Sometimes that person who has loved us in this way may have been our inner child. To express this loving kindness back to our inner child is also healing.
Indeed...
👏 🙏 🤝 👍 never EVER silence the INNER child . . .
It’s always the inner child for me
@@AL_THOMAS_777 amen 🙏🏻
Weird ending I was sitting there and was just thinking but I knew the video was only 5 mins long so I opened my eyes when I was done with my practice and was like uhhhh okay didn’t know the video would end like that but other then that it was a nice practice. Love to all
I personally adored the ending. Allowed me to take my practice further.
I know!!! Hehe same here
Same! Haha!
I like the ending *and* now i know that if I do this one again I have the option of setting a timer… or not 😊
I had autoplay on so I was a bit unsettled by the next video.
Absolutely beautiful. I am so emotional after that. Thank you for sharing.
Totally just sitting here for 5 minutes extra chilling with my kitty in front of me as my beacon of unconditional love.
Cried like a baby the first time I listened to this. Got better with the second, and the third...was able to write and get out of my headspace after 5 times. Thank you for making this....
One of my masters!
This guided meditation with Jon Kabat-Zinn is absolutely amazing! I've been practicing mindfulness for a while now, and his teachings always resonate with me. The power of compassion is truly life-changing, and I'm so grateful to have this opportunity to learn from such a renowned expert. Can't wait to join the full MasterClass and deepen my practice even more!
I was sitting in the library when I did this. Quietly tears ran down my face as I was smiling with my eyes closed when you mentioned the unconditional love. I didn’t expect that to hit me so hard. I opened my eyes to see other people there sitting at the same table as me lol one girl looking curiously I thought it was so funny
I never got it ever from anyone in my life, only from many dogs i have owned in my lifetime of 77 years, i have always had dogs who lived long lives, my dog now is 17 this year and runs around like a puppy. 😊
Dogs will never hurt you. They are the best. Glad they have been your guides through life. ❤
There's a saying: "Strive to be the person your dog thinks you are."
Dr. Kabat Zinn, doing meditation with this video, is the only time I stop fidgeting, Your voice works magic with me, I always get up from this short meditation feeling lighter and more at peace. Thank you!! God bless you.
Guided to this with limited morning time available today. Had just finished watching something about bells and was introduced to this guided meditation that opened with bells ringing. 🛎️Today is Valentine’s Day so it was also key to hear the focus on LOVE. Thank you💫💜💫
Loving Kindness and Compassion Meditation Practise ❤ Thank You. 🙏🏾🦋JKZ. Also I myself have reflected ..When Its hard to find a memory of total love and acceptance from another person ... break it down to an element of love and that feeling and sit with that . Also Sometimes we have to bring in forgiveness to remember we are or were loved and accepted at least at times . There is also the love within nature and the love of animal friends and companions 😊
So wonderful. Thank you Jon.
Wow! Completely lost in the breath. Didn't even know the video had finished. Sitting in peace...
This was much needed today 🙏🏻
Beautifully, clean shot episode.
So soothing and calming .
It finish suddenly? I was cryng, after meeting my memory, i needed an end, with Jon, sweet, holding me voice. !❤
Brilliant ending! 🎉
Thank you!!!
This is one of my favorite 5 min meditation. Thanks for making it accessible to us all.
Thanks for the wisdom shared!
Needed this!
Thank you!
Awesome ❤
maravilloso. Wonderfull
THANK YOU
Have no recollection of unconditional love or acceptance or even being hugged. I was 29 before i met someone who showed me kindness and warmth. Nobody was cruel, just kinda indifferent or busy. I was fed clothed educated bought toys etc but hugs or asked how i felt NO. One had to be very upset, crying hard, and even then no cuddles. My mom only cuddled us up to age 2 probably. I saw her cuddle my 3 yr old sister once and i felt jealous. I remember saying, Im your pet too u know! I was 4 then. She looked up at me but made no reply.
You're not alone.. When he asked to recall an unconditional love or total acceptance I couldn't find any memory.. Even thought as you said I had all my basic needs met and my parents did what they have to do to make a good living for me and my siblings.. And the worst part is that I am in a relationship that have been going for years But honestly I felt a bit of relief when I realised that I can give that unconditional love and acceptance to myself
Well then you know now that you are stronger than most people. Anything bad can turn into good and vice versa depending on the way you look at it.
I am so sorry for that little child.😑
I wish your life to be full of love from now on. You deserve to be love and accepted. Blessings to you
So sorry that you recieved such emotional neglect. It was not OK. It is not OK. Every child deserves active caring and safe physical demonstrations of a loving parent. Arohanui to you from Aotearoa Nz
This was amazing !
Thanks for the video 🌞
Nice vedio
Wasn't expecting to cry when you mentioned the unconventional love. I just felt empty. I enjoyed the session, though
Lovely Blessings ❤
I asked Suzuki Roshi: "When I work in the kitchen I feel like I am in the heart of practice. Why do I have to sit so much?" He answered: "To open your mind wider and wider" - David Chadwick. This reminds of the book: Inner Quiet, Inner Power.
❤❤thank you
This is a masterpiece. I recently read something similar, and it was a masterpiece in its own right. "Unlocking the Brain's Full Potential" by Alexander Sterling
What about if that was not the childhood experience..but completely the opposite??
In similar loving kindness meditations from JKZ he says if you feel like you didn’t receive a sense of unconditional love from someone to think of a pet who loved you or to try to imagine what it felt like to be loved this way; or if you loved someone unconditionally you can then direct that to yourself.
Than you for these suggestions. Very helpful ❤
It took me time tk found tge feeling, was not from childhood. I think this meditation should be longer.
OK this was a meditation unlike anything ive ever had I is all Im gonna say.
Love the attempt but I was seeking a mediation for relaxing the mind any recommendations MasterClass
hi from Chiangmai
Love the content. Have quite sensitive ears so singing bowls n bells are an irritation to my hearing. Known, Godly love, Motherly love, and pet dogs unconditional love. The balance of people are very dubious in my mind, that are often temporary selfish acts to reward themselves.. sadly. Realised today I don't know of a single person who hasn't had trials, tribulation or great challenges to deal with in life. Love is the greatest gift given to us all, and to share ❤. If it's wasted, the loss is unto them.
I have noticed lately that when I forcefully breathe out the rest of the remaining air at the end of breathing out phase, my heart rate goes way up. Should I force breathe out remaining air at all, or just let air leave my longs naturally? Can anybody advise?
❤🙏❤️
My first choice for Nobel Prize.

Thumbs up if the starting chimes bother you! (maybe we can raise awareness, esp for those who wear earphones)
typo in the title
I've never experienced unconditional love, wish I had. The wrong meditation for me.
Oops! Misspelled the word "meditation" in the title. It reads "Mediation".

I wanted to like this but those bells just resonate horribly with my tinnitus. Sorry

Alright.. was Meditation misspelled in the title as a cheap viewer grab? 'Cause if so, I'm completely turning away from this platform. The irony in using aggravation as a profit on a meditation session is beyond me.
Bro this one was not it
