Mindfulness

The past Sunday evening, CBS' 60 minutes featured a segment on mindfulness.  Anderson Cooper, who is a well known news reporter, experienced first hand a three day mindfulness meditation retreat here in Northern California.
 
Leading up to the retreat, he interviewed Jon Kabat-Zinn, who is the founder of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction and was the leading teacher at the retreat.
The dialogue between them seemed meaningful, real and inspiring.

Particularly, I appreciated Kabat-Zinn's comment about showering.  He suggested to check out if when we shower, if we are really in the shower.  Sometimes, we could be already working, or talking with family or friends.  In the mind, this means that we are no longer present and no longer really in the shower.

If you're curious about mindfulness; if you're skeptical about it; if you're a seasoned practitioner, I highly recommend watching this segment.
