Dr Jon Kabat-Zinn’s Series 1 – NOW available as an app!
The Series 1 mindfulness meditation app constitutes the core practice curriculum of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) in the Stress Reduction Clinic at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, USA.

Hundreds of thousands or even millions of people have used these meditations to develop and sustain a meditation practice based on mindfulness, and to benefit from its stress reducing, healing, and transformational potential when practiced regularly.


After 35 years in the form of first audiotapes and then CDs, these Series 1 guided mindfulness meditations are now available as an app due to popular demand. The content of the app is identical to that on the tapes/CDs. The meditations can be used in conjunction with Dr. Kabat-Zinns book Full Catastrophe Living: Using the Wisdom of Your Body and Mind to Face Stress, Pain and Illness (2nd edition, 2013).

The meditations:

1. Body Scan Meditation (45 minutes): The body scan is a closely guided journey through your body as you bring moment-to-moment awareness to every region in turn.
2. Mindful Yoga 1 (45 minutes): A gentle sequence of mindful hatha yoga postures, which help build strength, balance, and flexibility in both body and mind.
3. Sitting Meditation (40 minutes): Detailed guidance and instruction for the practice of mindfulness meditation in a formal sitting posture. Sitting meditation is the traditional formal core practice of mindfulness meditation.
4. Mindful Yoga 2 (45 minutes):
 A different sequence of mindful hatha yoga postures, including many done standing.

So slow to download!!

THE content is ok, but it is so slow to download the audio files, and they are disappear after one or two times. Cant it be fixed ?!

Does not download

Do not buy this app. The meditations do not download. Customer service is nonexistent. It is a complete waste of money. I had the earlier version which worked. This one is defective and the company is not responding to three emails over two days.

Have Patience

The download worked for me, but I had it plugged into my computer. It took about an hour to download all the sessions, but it did work. I cannot get the bells to work in the fourth section yet. Not too important to me though.

Audio problems

The audio stops after several minutes and a pop up message appears stating "an error occurred." Please fix and it will be a 5 star. However, its currently unusable since you cant listen to the practice.

Best value for money. Amazing customer support

I have been looking around for the Kabat Zinn meditation tracks and this app is by far the most convenient and cost effective way to get them. Once you download the app all you need to do is click the track you want to listen to and it gets downloaded instantaneously at no additional cost. No annoying in app purchases. I had a hard time believing I could get the whole series for only 4 dollars, knowing that the CDs typically go for 25. As I noticed a small translation error in the app I reached out to the developer Martin and within one day I got a response. The next day they already had an update and the app fixed. Hard to find this kind of response. Keep up the good work.

Extremely beneficial practice

I have an extremely stressful job and a wife and three small children at home. All this amounts to a life of seemingly non stop demands that leave me so stressed out I have developed a recurring eye twitch and may have an ulcer. The JKZ series app, as well as the book "Full Catastrophy Living" have been transformative to my quality of life. Adding to a bank of inner peace and calm, I feel better able to handle the stresses in my life, in no small way thanks to Mr. Zinns work and this app. I do a lot of other things such as regular exercise, healthyish diet and most nights I get a full nights sleep, but I see the meditation practice as having the key bonding ingredient that makes it all work for me.
