Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) was developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn at the University of Massachusetts Center for Mindfulness. MBSR has over 25 years of peer-reviewed research covering a wide variety of physical and mental health issues. It is the most scientifically researched and validated mindfulness program and is used in clinical and non-clinical settings worldwide.
What are the benefits of MBSR?
Mindfulness is the practice of present moment, non-judgmental awareness of one’s life experience. Through the use of mind/body techniques, one begins to relate to the stress and anxiety in life differently in ways that allow for more creative solutions and possibilities.
It can help you:
- Improve focus and concentration
- Improve mind-body awareness
- Reduce reactivity and increase calm
- Support better behavioral choices and Improve the ability to handle the ups and downs of life
- Feel kinder to yourself and others
- Improve relationships
- Experience more positive emotions
- Start or restart a meditation practice
