Google has a collection of company videos at YouTube. There are a lot of sessions worth watching.
I came across Mindfulness with Jon Kabat-Zinn which is terrific. The workshop is an hour long but is well worth that time, it also includes a meditation session. Jon Kabat-Zinn talks about mindfulness and meditation, awareness, non-doing, beginner’s mind, to bring doing and being together, to be fully present.
Jon reminded me of the value of just tuning in to our own breathing as a simple way of bringing as back to here and now. Not with the intention to control our breathing, just to follow it and become more present.
I liked this presentation so much that I have ordered some of his books. Now I am looking forward to “Arriving at Your Own Door: 108 Lessons in Mindfulness”, “Mindfulness for Beginners” (CD) and “Wherever You Go, There You Are”.

Jon Kabat-Zinn does wonderful work using mindfulness meditation techniques to help people dealing with severe pain.
I read his book “Full Catastrophe Living,” perhaps 10 years ago. His work helps validate the benefits of meditation to the medical profession, as all of his patients were referred by cancer specialists and such — plus, his success rate with these patients is astounding.
We need more people like Jon Kabat-Zinn.
Good stuff,
John
