Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction

(MBSR) Programme

 

The Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction is an eight week evidence based experiential course which invites you to engage on a physical, emotional and intellectual level. It offers a programme of mindfulness meditation training, which is practical and transformative. The programme was established by Jon Kabat-Zinn in 1979 at the University of Massachusetts Medical Centre in the USA and has been widely researched over the past 40 years showing many positive effects. 

 

Research indicates that the majority people who complete the course report: 

 

• Lasting decreases in physical and psychological symptoms, including anxiety and depression

• Reductions in pain levels and an enhanced ability to cope with chronic pain

• Greater energy and enthusiasm for life

• An ability to cope more effectively with short and long term situations

Testimonials

 

"Mindfulness is an essential skill for happiness in the 21st Century. Our lives are constantly bombarded with texts, TV, Twitter, and To do Lists, to name a few! Nurturing and practicing mindfulness allows us to connect to the moment, and experience a much more meaningful experience with ourselves and the world. The MBSR 8 week course was the perfect programme for me to learn the practice of mindfulness, and then share my learnings with my clients. I can highly recommend this programme  to anyone who knows they need to be more mindful, but frankly can’t fit it onto their busy schedule! Spread over 8 weeks, it perfect for meshing mindfulness habits into your everyday life to bring about lasting change."
