What is MBSR?
Developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center, MBSR is based on a form of meditation known as mindfulness. The Center for Mindfulness in Medicine, Health Care and Society website can be found at www.umassmed.edu.

Mindfulness is a basic human quality, a way of learning to pay wise attention to whatever is happening in your life that allows you a greater sense of connection to your life inwardly and outwardly. Mindfulness is also a practice, a systematic method aimed at cultivating clarity, insight, and understanding. In the context of your health, mindfulness is a way for you to experientially learn to take better care of yourself by exploring and understanding the interplay of mind and body and mobilizing your own inner resources for coping and growing.

Nearly three decades of scientific research all over the world suggest that training in mindfulness and MBSR can positively and often profoundly affect participants' ability to reduce medical symptoms and psychological distress while learning to live life more fully.

Content of the MBSR eight session program:
Recognizing the present moment
Engaging with the breath

Stress and the flow of emotions
