Here are some notable quotes by **Jon Kabat-Zinn**—professor emeritus of medicine and a pioneer in mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR). His words often revolve around presence, awareness, and living fully:
—
**1.**
*”You can’t stop the waves, but you can learn to surf.”*
– Life will bring challenges. Mindfulness is not about avoiding them but learning how to relate skillfully to them.
**2.**
*”Wherever you go, there you are.”*
– True presence isn’t about changing your external environment but being fully awake to your current experience.
**3.**
*”Mindfulness is about being fully awake in our lives. It is about perceiving the exquisite vividness of each moment.”*
– Life unfolds in the present; mindfulness invites us to meet it with clarity and openness.
**4.**
*”The little things? The little moments? They aren’t little.”*
– When we slow down and pay attention, we begin to notice the richness of what we often overlook.
**5.**
*”Perhaps the most ’spiritual’ thing any of us can do is simply to look through our own eyes, see with eyes of wholeness, and act with integrity and kindness.”*
– Mindfulness, for Kabat-Zinn, is not detached from ethics or values—it is deeply connected to how we live.
**6.**
*”Meditation is not about feeling a certain way. It’s about feeling the way you feel.”*
– There’s no “right” state to attain—just honest, compassionate awareness of what is.
