8 Week MBSR Course
Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction
MBSR is an 8-week intensive training in mindfulness meditation, based on ancient healing practices, which meets on a weekly basis. Mindfulness practice is ideal for cultivating greater awareness of the unity of mind and body, as well as of the ways the unconscious thoughts, feelings, and behaviours can undermine emotional, physical, and spiritual health. The mind is known to be a factor in stress and stress-related disorders, and meditation has been shown to positively affect a range of autonomic physiological processes, such as lowering blood pressure and reducing overall agitation and emotional re-activity.
The programme brings different forms of meditation and yoga practices together so that the virtues of both can be experienced simultaneously. The MBSR course allows people to mobilise their own inner resources of mind and body to become more responsible for their personal health and healing with greater skill and increased self-compassion. This course requires commitment and consists of forty minutes daily home practice.
The MBSR course was pioneered and developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn, Ph.D., at the University of Massachusetts Medical Centre. This intensive programme was originally used to complement the conventional medical management of a wide variety of types of stress related illness, chronic pain, and depression. It proved to be a huge success and is now the most widely researched and documented Mindfulness Programme so far with very compelling and astounding results.
