    Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction: Orientation Sessions

     

    The scientifically-based training known as Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is a program in living well under stressful conditions. The practices have been shown to support anyone overwhelmed by stress. Weekly sessions and daily home practices help participants to train the mind and body through various practices to become calmer and clearer, allowing people to react to stress less and engage in life more.  Published research has shown that mindfulness training is also highly effective when combined with conventional medical treatment for many disorders. Thousands of people report that the course helped to reduce chronic pain, headache, insomnia, fatigue, anxiety, over-eating, and negative thinking. Participants also report improvement in relationships, vitality, and a greater sense of well-being.
