Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is a program based on the practice of mindfulness. Mindfulness involves bringing a fullness of attention to whatever is happening in our lives, as it’s happening, without judgment. The willingness to stop and be present leads to seeing and relating to life with more clarity and directness. Paying attention allows for choosing our responses to life’s situations rather than reacting out of habit or fear. Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction is for anyone who experiences stress in their life and thinks they might be able to manage it better. And more than that, it offers a way of being present to our lives so that we don't miss out on the beauty and joy that is also there. It is about balancing all our "doing" with a chance to "be" and in the process it can provide a path to more peace, clarity and well being. This well-respected program was developed in 1979 by Jon Kabat-Zinn, PhD at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center.
