Meditate with the Pioneer of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Mindfulness
Jon Kabat-Zinn, Ph.D., is an internationally well-known scientist, writer and meditation teacher. He is the founder of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and the founder and former director of the world-renowned Stress Reduction Clinic at the University of Massachusetts Medical School (UMass).
Dr. Kabat-Zinn received his Ph.D. in molecular biology from MIT in 1971 with the Nobel Laureate in physiology and medicine, Salvador Luria. His research between 1979 and 2002 focused on mind/body interactions for healing and clinical applications of mindfulness meditation training for people with chronic pain and stress-related disorders.
During his career he has trained groups of judges, CEOs and business leaders, lawyers, clergy, and Olympic athletes in mindfulness. His pioneer work has strongly contributed to a growing movement of mindfulness into mainstream institutions world-wide: medicine, health care, schools, higher education, corporations, prisons, and professional sports.

Millions practice. A few wrote in.
After reading Full Catastrophe Living, I got this app immediately. I do a guided meditation every single day after my yoga practice now. Jon has truly changed my life in ways I am immeasurably grateful for. Please do yourself a favour and read his book and get this app! I am always telling everyone it is necessary to living your best life and being present. Thank you to everyone who has made the app possible and so much love to you Jon. You are truly a hero.
I love this app. It's simple and gets the job done. After I took the 8-week MBSR course and read Full Catastrophe Living, my whole relationship to myself and the world changed for the better. You also get exclusive live videos and the recordings.
I've used lots of different apps to practice mindfulness. This app is the best in my opinion. He doesn't over-complicate it. This app has just the right amount of guidance and silence. Also very affordable, which I appreciate.

Our story.
Mindfulness Apps is a Swedish company dedicated to making mindfulness practice of the highest quality easily accessible to the world.
When the millennium was young, Martin developed one of the world's first mindfulness apps — from his bathtub. Since then, this serial IT entrepreneur and computer scientist has earned a master's in Psychology, immersed himself in Buddhist philosophy, and become a dedicated meditation teacher.
Travelling the world in 1999, Johan stumbled into a Buddhist temple in northeastern Thailand and knew immediately: this is it. He trained as an MBSR teacher, founded Mindfulness Academy Scandinavia, and has worked closely with Jon Kabat-Zinn since 2011.
Craig joined the team from the UK in 2019 and this is when things really started to move. In 2021 the completely modernised Jon Kabat-Zinn Meditations app launched — the official app with meditations by Jon.
