Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction is a clinically proven eight-week program developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn and others at the Stress Reduction Clinic at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center. It teaches how Buddhist meditation techniques can help practitioners to identify stress-causing thought patterns and to “de-center” so that those patterns no longer take control of the mind.

Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction

  • Can be taken in conjunction with existing medical treatments
  • Involves a two hour class, once a week for eight weeks.

The MBSR Program Involves

  • Mindfulness meditation
  • Body awareness and relaxation exercises
  • Light stretching and body work
  • Brief lectures and discussions
  • Daily homework

MBSR helps you to

  • Manage everyday stress
  • Take responsibility for your well-being
  • Tune into your breath to calm your body and mind
  • Relax and let go of tensions
  • Develop skills for controlling pain and gaining a new perspective on healing.
