Mindfulness isn’t some kind of Mount Everest that we have to climb. It’s closer than close. It's in this very moment. In this very breath. The calling of mindfulness is to learn how to live fully in the only moment that we ever have to live. The present moment. -Jon Kabat-Zinn
MBSR
How much time do you spend thinking the same stressful thoughts? Do you often find yourself thinking in circles? On repeat? Focused on the past or future?
Stress management is a challenge for us all. MBSR provides an in-depth experiential program for cultivating stress-reduction tools first-hand — both in practice, and out in daily life.
Structured around weekly group meetings and daily home practices, the 8-week MBSR program was developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center in 1979. MBSR is the most replicated stress reduction program worldwide, taught in over 200 medical centers, and is backed by a growing body of research literature.
Scientific studies have demonstrated numerous positive outcomes related to:
medical conditions, e.g., cancer & autoimmune disorders
blood pressure, back pain, & sleep disorders
anxiety, depression & mental health
eating disturbances & substance abuse recovery
