The core invitation of mindfulness is for you to befriend yourself. That means
recognizing and inhabiting your own intrinsic wholeness and beauty in the only
moment any of us ever has—namely this one.

This website is meant to facilitate engaging with your life and your moments in
this way, through the ongoing cultivation of mindfulness. It offers an array of
resources for deepening your interest and engagement if you are so inclined.

Mindfulness involves being much more than it involves doing anything. Still,
some degree of effort and discipline are involved. In the end, it is a love
affair, the invitation to live your life as if it really matters in each
timeless moment — and it does, more than you might think, and more than any of
us can think — because thinking itself is not all that it is cracked up to be,
not our only form of intelligence.

I hope this website can (1) support your own ongoing daily formal and informal
mindfulness practice, making use of the guided meditations, books, and other
supports available here. In that way, you are taking significant steps to
connect in deeper and deeper ways with yourself, and your own beauty and
capacity for learning, growing, healing, and transformation across the lifespan.

And (2), to enable you to search for and connect with others throughout the
world who are contributing in various ways, personally, professionally, and in
terms of activist engagement to this global flourishing of wisdom and sanity.

The JKZ Meditations App, with over 36 different guided meditations of varying
lengths and focus, now provides the most comprehensive glide path into the way I
teach, and into this way of being.

Mindfulness is an intrinsically ethical stance. At this moment in time, nothing
could be more important to actualize for the health of humanity and the planet
as a whole. The seemingly small is hardly insignificant — it is huge.

There are an infinite number of ways to practice mindfulness skillfully, and
many different teachers and teachings to learn from. All are ultimately
different doors into the very same room — the room of open-hearted human
awareness. That awareness is a form of intelligence — an unrecognized superpower
really. It is always here, always available to tap into, maybe even to take up
residency in for extended stretches of time. Then life itself becomes the real
meditation practice.

Finding the doorway that is right for you is part of the ongoing adventure of
living mindfully. As you will see from the Indra’s Net section, there are many
different doors into the room of mindfulness, which being about awareness
itself, is essentially boundless. I hope you find the doorways offered here to
be beneficial and congenial.


WELCOME!
