The meditations on Insight Timer are identical to those found in the 100% free online MBSR course found at Palouse Mindfulness. Dave is a fully certified instructor and received his training through the University of Massachusetts Medical School where Jon Kabat-Zinn founded the Center for Mindfulness. Dave has been teaching MBSR classes for more than 20 years and has had a daily meditation practice for 35 years, as well as being a retired psychotherapist with specialties in anxiety, stress, and trauma. The online MBSR course is 100% free and contains all the materials used in the in-person MBSR course taught by Dave, and including videos and articles by Jon Kabat-Zinn, Pema Chodron, Tara Brach, Sylvia Boorstein, Sharon Salzberg, Jack Kornfield, and others. While MBSR is not a "cure" for serious medical conditions and should not be used as a substitute for medical treatment, research indicates that mindfulness training can have a significant therapeutic effect for those experiencing stress, anxiety, high blood pressure, depression, chronic pain, migraines, heart conditions, diabetes, and other ailments. In addition, participants typically report feeling more alive, more resilient, and more "in-tune" with themselves and others.

This was so helpful in softening my severe pain. Nice voice, enough space troughout the sentences, to let the message arrive deeply.

Thanks so much, David. Your Turning Towards Physical Pain meditation has been a game-changer for me. Living with chronic back pain isn’t easy, but this practice has helped me approach it with more calm and compassion instead of just resistance. I’m really grateful for the difference it’s made in my day-to-day life.

Started my meditation journey years ago with Palouse Mindfulness. Wonderful to find that voice again. Thankyou. Back yet again. At first it was difficult not to control the breath, but soon let go, Thankyou again .

As with all his guided meditations, the Lake practice is excellent. I frequently alternate between this and the Mountain Meditation to renew my sense of groundedness and oneness with Mother Earth.

Love the stillness of this meditation. No music, just quiet and breathing. Thankyou, I will look into your other tracks.
