In the early 2000s, I participated in the Stress Reduction
Program founded by the Zen Buddhist physician and author Jon
Kabat-Zinn. Mindfulness meditation was central to the program.
Since then, mindfulness has gone mainstream, supported by a
growing body of evidence that it can be a powerful tool in
treating stress, anxiety, and many other health problems. The
Bible is no stranger to stress and anxiety, and it too offers
wisdom for coping with them. This talk will consider places where
biblical wisdom and eastern meditation overlap and where the
paths divide.
