Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) based on the work of the Center for Mindfulness in Medicine, Health Care and Society, University of Massachusetts Medical Center in Worcester. Mindfulness meditation practices offer a way of being fully aware of the present as it unfolds, moment by moment. Through these practices people learn how to relate differently and more skillfully with the stream of constant thinking and doing, which is often a leading cause of stress in our lives. This leads to stillness, relaxation and a sense of peace, gradually allowing individuals to find ways of responding rather than reacting to internal and external stressors. People with chronic illness/conditions and those interested in navigating daily stressors have found MBSR helpful. Among the benefits reported by participants are fewer and less severe symptoms, a more relaxed body and mind, greater self-confidence and sense of feeling connected in a positive way to their lives. This can be presented in a four week to eight week program, one and half hour to two hours per week. It includes material for practice at home. www.umassmed.edu/cfm/
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy is an innovative, clinically proven treatment approach used for the prevention of the return of depression. In these experiential groups participants practice various forms of mindfulness meditation such at sitting, walking, eating, simple movement, and awareness of body and breath. Integrating the mindfulness practices with cognitive therapy enables individuals to keep mild states of sadness from spiraling out of control. By learning to come off “automatic pilot” and maintain more present moment awareness, depression-inducing thoughts and feelings can be viewed from a wider perspective. These MBCT groups are also extremely beneficial for managing panic and other anxiety. MBCT groups can be offered in a four to eight week program, one and half hours to two hours per week in or outside the studio. Home practice is expected during the course of the group sessions. All materials are provided. Some insurances may cover this program. Fees
