[ENCORE EPISODE] Jon Kabat-Zinn: Befriending Pain

In this episode of Insights at the Edge, my guest is John Cabot Zinn. John Cabot Zinn is professor of medicine emeritus at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, where he founded its world-renowned MBSR, mindfulness-based. Stress Reduction Clinic in 1979 and also the Center for Mindfulness in Medicine, Healthcare, and Society in 1995. John's also the author of a series of research papers on MBSR that date back all the way to 1982. To put it plainly, John Kapitzin has been hugely influential.

in introducing the practice of mindfulness to medicine and also broadly to millions of people worldwide. He's the author of 15 books, currently in print in over 45 languages, including a new book which sounds true. It's called Mindfulness Meditation for Pain Relief.

One such person, Carolyn Mace, introduced many of us to the science of medical intuition, and our team started thinking, what if she could help orient us during this particular time, which for many of us

feels like a collective dark night passage. What if she could answer our personal questions and lead us through activating what she calls holy language? So we created a new online community called Spiritual Home Base with Carolyn Mace as our spiritual director. You can learn more at mace.com slash spiritual-home base. That's myss.com slash
