About the MBSR Course
Mindfulness
helps us restore and maintain a sense of well being and develop
the skills to avoid emotional and physical depletion. The Mindfulness-Based
Stress Reduction (MBSR) course is modeled after the classes offered at the Stress Reduction
Clinic, developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn,
Ph.D., at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center. MBSR is
an 8 week intensive program used as a complement to conventional
medical management of a wide variety of types of illness, chronic
pain, and depression. It allows people to mobilize their own inner
resources of mind and body to become responsible
for their personal health and healing. This program is internationally
known and acclaimed by virtue of its broadly researched and documented
healing work and has benefited the tens of thousands of people who’ve
completed this course.
Persons who are interested in taking an active role in their own
healthcare can learn skills that will help them reduce pain, promote
health and wellness, and learn more positive responses to stress
in their lives.
