Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is the most
widely researched program known to reduce stress and enhance well
being. It is an eight-week program that introduces you to
mindfulness practice in the form of sitting meditation, body
awareness and mindful movement/yoga. It was created by Jon
Kabat-Zinn, PhD. at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center
in 1979 and has been replicated in over 1K hospitals throughout the
world since then. It has proven to be an incredibly effective
tool for managing pain, depression, anxiety, and stress.
Research also shows it’s effectiveness for improved attention,
mental clarity, health and communication with others.The MBSR
course includes 8 weekly sessions and a one-day silent
retreat. Various mindfulness tools are introduced and
practiced in a confidential group context.
MBSR was featured in the Bill Moyer’s PBS documentary
Healing and the Mind:
