Mindfulness & MBSR

Mindfulness and Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) offer perspectives and approaches that help us be more aware and present to respond to life’s stressors in ways that best support us and those around us.

The definition of mindfulness can be a great tool in understanding the intentions of MBSR and other mindfulness-based programs:

“Mindfulness is the awareness that arises through paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, non-judgmentally.” Jon Kabat-Zinn

MBSR is designed to cultivate each participant’s discovery of their own inner resources and strategies to cope with stress in everyday life, such as work, school, relationships, stages of life, finances, health issues, etc. The foundations are awareness, kindness, curiosity and compassion.
