The Power of Awareness with Jon Kabat-Zinn

The Power of Awareness with
Jon Kabat-Zinn


This February, Jon Kabat-Zinn is Lion’s Roar’s online resident teacher. As the founder of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and a pioneer of the American mindfulness movement, Jon has spent more than six decades bringing clarity, warmth, and depth to mindfulness as a liberative, human practice to meet the challenges of our times with wisdom and compassion.

Each Wednesday this month, Jon is guiding a free live meditation on Zoom, with an additional live talk on Thursday, February 12, where he’ll explore how meditation and wisdom can support us in meeting what he famously calls “the full catastrophe” of life, both individually and collectively.

In our first gathering on Wednesday, Jon invited us to pause and remember something essential about meditation practice: “This is not just one more thing you have to squeeze into your day to be a good person, or a good meditator, or a good Buddhist,” he reminded us. “It's a radical act of sanity to stop the flow of doing and drop into being for a moment.”

“The real meditation practice,” he reminded us, “is life itself.”

If you’d like to practice with Jon live, you can register here for free to gain access to our weekly Wednesday meditations and the February 12 talk. We hope to see you there!

Below, you’ll find a three-part conversation series with Jon and Lion’s Roar editor-at-large Melvin McLeod, reflecting on the mindfulness movement past, present, and future. Together, they explore what it means to bring awareness into a world that urgently needs it and how mindfulness can serve as the key to fostering a more compassionate society.

These conversations offer a human view of mindfulness — not as a simple trend or technique, but as a liberative practice rooted in awareness, compassion, and community. May they be of benefit.

The Power of Awareness


The founder of mindfulness-based stress reduction, Jon Kabat-Zinn is considered the father of the American mindfulness movement. Here, he talks to editor-at-large Melvin McLeod about the essence of mindfulness and how it offers liberation from limiting, self-imposed narratives. This is the first installment of a three-part series.


Mindfulness is an invitation to wake up to what is unfolding in the present moment, including the experience of being embodied. It is pointing to your own miraculous nature in this only moment, located someplace between when you were born and when you’re not going to be around anymore. With every moment and every breath, we have, to a first approximation, an infinite number of opportunities to drop in on ourselves, to be where we actually are, and inhabit or take up residency in awareness itself, rather than being caught up 24-7 in being lost in thought and/or trying to get someplace else, or wanting a “special experience,” without recognizing that this very moment in which you are alive is itself extraordinarily special, even if it looks entirely ordinary.

Why Jon Kabat-Zinn Brought Mindfulness to the Mainstream


Jon Kabat-Zinn was a yoga teacher and meditator with a PhD in molecular biology — then he founded mindfulness-based stress reduction and sparked the American mindfulness movement. In this second installment of a three-part conversation, he tells editor-at-large Melvin McLeod about the experiences and insights that shaped his journey.


All of a sudden you discover that there’s a hidden but readily accessible dimension called “awareness,” within which experience can be held and known in a way that’s intrinsically and immediately free—though initially not for long, because we drop back into not being so aware and falling more into thinking and emotional reactivity. But then, in any moment, we can realize that and intentionally move back into awareness. Attention and intention working together in a yin-yang kind of synthesis or melding that people begin to recognize and work with as part of their practice.

The Mindful Future


Mindfulness isn’t just about cultivating personal well-being. In this final installment of a three-part conversation, Jon Kabat-Zinn talks to Melvin McLeod about how mindfulness is the key to fostering a more compassionate, ethical society.


There are infinite ways to approach meditation practice, but when you drop into it fully, the first thing you experience—when you learn to rest in and take up residency in awareness — is the direct, nonconceptual experience of interconnectedness and belonging. You are whole, and simultaneously part of a larger whole, nested in an even larger whole, and on and on endlessly. This direct experiencing of interconnectedness and nonseparation naturally evokes compassion and loving-kindness and a deep sense of intrinsic connection to others.

Karir di Offshore

 

Setiap hari sama: bangun pagi, macet, kerja 9-5, pulang lelah. Karir stagnan, gaji tidak pernah cukup. Ada dunia kerja di luar sana yang menawarkan sistem berbeda: offshore.

Dengan sistem rotasi (kerja 14 hari, libur 14 hari), Anda bisa mendapatkan keseimbangan hidup yang lebih baik, pengalaman internasional, dan potensi penghasilan yang lebih memadai.

“Langkah Cepat Offshore” memberikan roadmap terstruktur untuk transisi aman dari kantor ke karir offshore. Pelajari langkah demi langkahnya.

Offshore Gaji Tinggi

 

Pekerjaan offshore adalah pekerjaan yang dilakukan di lokasi lepas pantai, biasanya di atas rig minyak dan gas atau kapal khusus yang beroperasi jauh dari daratan. Industri ini dikenal sebagai salah satu sektor dengan penghasilan tinggi, karena pekerja dituntut untuk mampu beradaptasi dengan lingkungan kerja yang keras, penuh risiko, dan jauh dari keluarga dalam jangka waktu tertentu. Sistem kerja di offshore umumnya menggunakan pola rotasi. Artinya, pekerja akan berada di rig selama beberapa minggu penuh—misalnya 14 hari kerja—kemudian mendapatkan 14 hari libur untuk kembali ke rumah. Beberapa perusahaan menggunakan sistem rotasi lain seperti 21:21 atau 28:28, tergantung kebijakan dan lokasi kerja.


Karakteristik utama dari pekerjaan offshore adalah kombinasi antara tanggung jawab besar, standar keselamatan yang ketat, serta kondisi kerja yang menantang. Cuaca di laut bisa berubah sewaktu-waktu, ruang kerja terbatas, dan semua kegiatan sangat bergantung pada kedisiplinan tim. Oleh karena itu, meskipun industri ini menjanjikan gaji yang relatif lebih tinggi dibanding pekerjaan darat, hanya mereka yang memiliki fisik sehat, mental kuat, disiplin tinggi, dan mampu bekerja dalam tim yang bisa bertahan dan berkembang.
Ada beragam posisi yang tersedia di dunia offshore, baik teknis maupun non-teknis.

Untuk posisi entry-level atau pemula, biasanya perusahaan membuka kesempatan di bidang Roustabout atau Utility Worker yang bertugas membantu pekerjaan fisik, mengangkat peralatan, dan mendukung tim rig. Selain itu, ada pula posisi Deck Crew yang bertugas mendukung operasi di dek kapal, Catering Crew yang menangani kebutuhan makanan dan kebersihan kru, hingga Cleaner atau Housekeeping yang bertanggung jawab menjaga area kerja tetap higienis. Posisi-posisi ini menjadi pintu masuk bagi pekerja tanpa pengalaman teknis khusus, karena yang paling dibutuhkan adalah kemauan untuk belajar, kesiapan fisik, dan kepatuhan terhadap aturan keselamatan kerja.


Dengan memahami gambaran umum ini, calon pekerja dapat menilai apakah dirinya siap menghadapi tantangan di dunia offshore. Pekerjaan ini bukan hanya sekadar mencari gaji besar, tetapi juga menuntut komitmen tinggi terhadap keselamatan, kerja sama tim, serta kemampuan bertahan hidup di lingkungan yang penuh risiko. Jika mampu melewati tahap awal ini, karier di industri offshore bisa menjadi peluang besar untuk masa depan yang lebih stabil secara finansial sekaligus memberikan pengalaman kerja internasional yang berharga.
