@@jenniferfirer2837 Some people believe that mindfulness is inward, like an inward mental state. It's not. Every ephemeral object, site, feeling (including pain) or thought can and should be an object of focus. It's what allows anyone to meditate in the center of a construction zone or near a firing range, allowing anything and everything to be an object of meditation. It's open to everything.
Yea, my advert was a massive trumpet song. You’re supposed to build up to working with those kinds of distractions by creating a calm environment to practice. Totally pointless video
I enjoy this meditation not only for the guidance and relaxing nature sounds at the end, but also for the empowering pointer to the center. Love is abundant there. It is not abundant when people rely on the outside for confidence and reflection. All that takes lots and lots of self-healing and love. None of us were kidding on that point. The unconditional love starts from within, and it is never shallow.
This is such a powerful meditation. The man is a genius and certainly has a way of wording that emerses one in the practice. I could do without the ads. So very disrupting. 😣
Man I love this one. He talked about the same thing in his master class. I used to live on the mountain that I pictured, and I'm going to see it today. Super helpful and powerful analogy imo
@@nononsensemeditation9204 You have very clearly chosen to monetize the channel as it requires explicit consent to do so, and not only do you have ads but sponsored content below your video. Please.
@@remember-to-flossthis actually isn’t true. UA-cam tends to do this regardless of creator consent, since UA-cam has so much content being uploaded literally every minute. Regardless even if they were enabled purposefully, there is always ad blocker, or you could support creators through YT premium. They definitely deserve compensation for the content they make.
This is so helpful and beautiful. I can use it and notice it and be with it, but there are so many jarring ads that means that we have to physically come out of sitting and be on a screen. I get that folks need to make money, but really?
The ads in the middle is really off putting. I understand that the organisation that put out this video (I hope with Jon’s permission) needs to make money. That is why they uploaded the video. BUT they can monetise it by starting with a 30 sec unskipable ad but move the ads from the middle.
This is a beautiful meditation which I am very lucky to have (with a lovely Irish accent) uninterrupted by ads through a mindfulness course I paid for in 2018. It is my go to meditation daily at the moment. I cannot deal with the ads! (And it’s lovely to have it in my local accent too. 😊)
Thank you for this helpful meditation! It helps relieve my chronic anxiety. Most of the time, Mt Fuji is “my” mountain but the other day I thought of Mt St Helen. Namaste
I really loved doing this meditation, but today I had for the first time commercials popping up in the middle of the session. If continues, I will not be able to enjoy it any further...? :-(((
Excellent as always, but why an ad in the middle of it? Does that not defeat the purpose? I find it hard when running into this with several other high profile meditation teachers, how is this helpful to people?
Great meditation but if this channel is not here for financial gain then it would be great to change the monetisation settings as I got 3 advert breaks which kind of messes with the intention of the meditation... 😊
I see a lot of people criticising about being interrupted by ads. Others have given excellent point that Mindfulness is about accepting whatever arises and coming back to your meditation. Fact is that UA-cam is a commercial platform and needs ads to make money. If you do not want the ads, become a premium subscriber, and that ads go away. Not expensive either. Calling this beautiful meditation useless due to ads is like calling a car useless because you got bad gas!
@@DanielSiles-ic5go ...ur probally the only one:) mite be a lil'bit of truth in it though? i mean, we practice to accept distractions by not dwelling on them... but if a distraction "ruins our meditation?" i wonder if we were really meditating?
As below. the blog was great until the advert. Was this intentional , I don't know. I suppose the answer is in one of the previous comments (pay)or stop using youtube.
Seriously...ads in the middle of a meditation video.....just so you know UA-cam....I refuse to buy anything that disrupts a video......won't do this again.....
I wonder if I could go to the place I imagined in my mind in real life, and then while I was there meditate about sitting on the concrete floor in a warehouse where I actually am now and return back.
ADS in the middle of a meditation! Not once but twice before my equanimity couldn't have any more it. Shameful to present a 20 minute meditation and interrupt practice with ADS!.
Ok so you have to make money. But why not put ads before the beginning and after the end of the meditation? This is unconscionable. What a waste of the listener's time. Somebody should alert Jon Kabat-Zinn to this fraudulent use of his material - because I'm sure he wouldn't have authorized it.
The advert is awful during any meditation. Obviously the advert is related to marketing and marketing is related to selling and selling related to money. Very stressful to break meditation for money making business and feel this does not suit job kabat , really surprised.
Sure have ads at beginning and end of video but during video is ridiculous. If for example you hear a car going past,people shouting outside etc,that's where you can accept that noise but to suddenly have somebody barking out something reg holidays,bargains,KFC etc is ridiculous.i think JKB is amazing.dont think he'd be too happy about this😢
The bird sounds are uselessly repetitive, distracting and louder than the speaker but nearly as loud as the opening bell. Immense anger for the wasted time.
Try to develop your observer perspective. This is a perspective that we are all born with, but it becomes buried over time by conditioning and identification with our thoughts. You are not your thoughts and emotions; you are the one who observes your thoughts and emotions. Simply witness them without engaging with them or judging them (“good” or “bad” etc). With practice you will see that when you do this, they will dissolve and be replaced by more, ad infinitum.
I liked the bit where the ad completely broke my concentration right in the middle of the meditation
Does anyone know if it's been fixed?
Concentration? I do not know what you were doing, but it is not mindfulness meditation. Mindfulness meditation sessions are open to everything
Yup. Ruined the whole thing. Thanks again UA-cam

Brilliant, sadly 3 Ad breaks during this one. Used them for practice though
Get rid of the middle ads for meditation videos, for the love of god
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Get rid of the ads and this would be great.
SADLY I have to abandon this much loved meditation due to the ad breaks 💚
Adblockers exist
Thank you so much for removing the ads! I really appreciate it! :)))
Ads still here!
I'm still getting those completely annoying, concentration- breaking ads!
This is such a powerful meditation. The man is a genius and certainly has a way of wording that emerses one in the practice. I could do without the ads. So very disrupting. 😣
Now they are back on :(( I didn‘t had any for the last few times I have done the meditation...it was so pleasurable

The beautiful birdsong!

It helps me feel like I'm immersed in the countryside
I can't believe your settings allow ads to play mid video. 😮
Good meditation but why are there ads in the middle of it? It's disruptive
We have not monetised the channel so so I am not sure. Any idea how to disable ads?

Great concept meditation any ways. 🙏🏼🤍💫
Thank you! Re the ads, we don’t monetise the channel (and have no intention to). I can only assume that the ads are auto-generated.
I thought UA-cam had a no-ads policy during guided meditations??
Beautiful, thank you so much
What’s with the commercial in the middle of a meditation!
Why are there ad breaks in a meditation video? 😢
I just love this meditation and use it a couple of times per week! Such good stuff!

Terrible adds interrupt this meditation every 3 minutes. Impossibile to follow it.
There’s still 2 ads :(
I really needed this after a long day, but the ad in the middle ruined everything for me. I'm really pissed off now.
This is a meditation… why is there advertising? Two already moving on😢
Multiple adverts in the middle of meditation, how very calming!!!
Ads in a meditation... Not good
I start my days with this to come from a place of stillness and peace to better cope with present day realities
nonono! AD's are great and we need more of them! AD's break the monotony of meditation and keep us rooted in reality! i luv AD's MORE AD'S!

This was read out at my Recovery Dharma group this morning..I agree about the birdsong..powerful enough on its own without distractions 😉😊🙏
Beautiful metaphor …
My favourite
Loved it! I really enjoyed it. I loved the bird songs, the metaphor used, the bells, the guidance and also the silent space!!😊
Deleting this from my playlist due to too many adverts during this meditation.
Not helpful having a car advert interrupt the meditation.
The meditation is great with the sounds, but being interrupted twice with noisy ads is just impossible to feel like a mountain... Too bad
Brilliant meditation his best one yet on youtube , :D
This is amazing
Thay burst off music dosnt do any one any good why this allowed ???????
The sound of the birds in the back ground is so loud and systematic, it was like a children toy, so blessfull to come to the end of the meditation!
Why put ads in between a meditation?? Annoying
An ad in the middle of the meditation was jarring
Great meditation but the booming ad for KFC after 5 minutes wasn't part of my mountain.
As below. the blog was great until the advert. Was this intentional , I don't know. I suppose the answer is in one of the previous comments (pay)or stop using youtube.
Very soothing, makes me fall asleep.
ads... realy? I can t focus
Can you please remove adds

Ads in the middle og meditation are a pain in the ass, I got three ads on this one
Yes. You'd think YT could avoid ads in the middle of a meditation video.
Meditation in between commercial breaks😢
I wonder if I could go to the place I imagined in my mind in real life, and then while I was there meditate about sitting on the concrete floor in a warehouse where I actually am now and return back.
Don't know why but meditation never works for me and I've tried it so many times. It's frustrating.
Hi Peter. How would you define “works”?
I thought I couldn't either but once I decided to chill and just accept the moment for what it is, it worked! Just be gentle with yourself 😊
Very restful
ADS in the middle of a meditation! Not once but twice before my equanimity couldn't have any more it. Shameful to present a 20 minute meditation and interrupt practice with ADS!.
Such a shame to be disturbed by adverts. Are you aware Jon?
Love this, but that noise at the end does spoil the effect a bit.

Three ads in the middle of it so no fun

That sucks. Just sent this link to my brother. He despises adds.
Ce serait formidable si c’était traduit en Français .Merci
Nope, adverts don’t make for a great guided meditation.
The ads ruined it. Delete
Absolutely awful with several times advert so disturbing.

Ruined by ads.
Sounds like Skyrim is playing in the background
very beautiful but the rather than playing the same bird sounds I would prefer actualy recording of birds for 20 minutes :)
Ditto😢
Best to avoid this channel in future

Agreeing w the opinion of annoying repeating bird sounds.
Hang in there and be a mountain about it
too much bird noise
The bill at the end is jarring!
I have the same problem when I eat at restaurants!
@@nononsensemeditation9204 hahaha. Love the sense of humour.

Pity about the annoying replay of the repeated bird song....
Aversion 😉
ironic
this guided meditation making me more thinking & emotional, not helpful
Try to develop your observer perspective. This is a perspective that we are all born with, but it becomes buried over time by conditioning and identification with our thoughts. You are not your thoughts and emotions; you are the one who observes your thoughts and emotions. Simply witness them without engaging with them or judging them (“good” or “bad” etc). With practice you will see that when you do this, they will dissolve and be replaced by more, ad infinitum.
2 lots of adverts.
Too much talking, not enough room to enjoy what's been said.
The aim is not to enjoy (or otherwise). It is simply to be fully present and observe your mind, as per the instructions.
Soooooo much talking though
Too much talking
Get rid of that bird!!!!!!!!! 😢
Get rid of that thought 😊
So sad that the songs of birds could upset you. Hope you are able to find peace with yourself ❤
If it was recording of natural bird song it would be fine, but it’s the same cheep going around on a loop.
The cycle of recorded birds is distracting for me 😢
Unclear how to lie down on the floor and be tall like a mountain at the same time. Bird sounds were distracting.
