Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)
Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) is an eight-week program that introduces mindfulness practices in the form of sitting meditation, body awareness, and mindful movement, modeled by Jon Kabat-Zinn, PhD.
The program can help if stress is having a negative impact on your life, if you are experiencing chronic physical or mental distress, or if you are simply interested in learning ways to maintain health and well-being. Over 6,000 research papers have published findings on MBSR including decreased depression, pain, and distress, and increased attention, concentration, performance, and quality of life.
By cultivating mindfulness does not mean that we will stop facing difficulties in our lives or we will not live the "heights" and the "depths" of our emotions, but that we will learn and be prepared to better manage and skillfully respond with calmness, clarity and self-compassion to life's challenges.
Benefits
-
Approach life with greater calm, clarity and energy.
-
Strengthen your ability to respond effectively to both short-term and long-term stressful situations.
-
Improve your capacity to manage and reduce levels of physical and emotional pain.
-
Enhance your concentration, mental resilience, and your ability to recover more quickly from stress and challenging events.
-
Learn how to access and cultivate a natural capacity for self-care, finding greater balance, calm, and relaxation in daily life.
During the 8 weeks of the program, you will learn to reconnect with your inner strengths and resources for finding meaning in your life, to stay calm in difficult moments and to connect more deeply with what matters to you most. Skillfully applied, mindfulness will help you to let go of unproductive metal and emotional habits and reactivity and support you having a fresh start.
“We can't stop the waves, but we can learn to surf.”
Jon Kabat-Zinn, Creator of the MBSR program
