Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Program
M
indfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program combines the art and science of meditation to help you reduce stress,
promote physical health, and cultivate emotional well-being. MBSR is an eight-week program designed to introduce you to mindful- ness meditation practices and apply these practices in your daily life. The MBSR program was developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn in 1979 at the Stress Reduction Clinic, University of Massachusetts Medical Center. In the past 33 years, over 19,000 people have completed this program.
Medical research has shown that the MBSR program can ease
physical and emotional symptoms of general stress as well as chronic stress due to illness, such as cancer, depression, anxiety disorders, fibromyalgia, psoriasis, chronic pain, fatigue and a wide range of vascular, gastrointestinal, and psychological conditions. The benefits of mindfulness practice also include increased clarity and creative thinking, enhanced emotional stability, greater energy and inner peace. The course will be conducted at the Redding Meditation Society
in West Redding, CT, beginning May 3rd, 2012. Weekly sessions will be held on Thursdays from 6.30pm to 9pm. Registration including all materials and CDs is $195. The class will be facilitated by Alisha Aum. She has practiced meditation and yoga for over 15 years and has completed the professional training Practicum in MBSR at the University of Massachusetts Medical School.
