Our ONLINE Meditation-Based MBSR program is modeled on the Stress Reduction Clinic created by Jon Kabat-Zinn PH. D at the University of Massachusetts Medical Centre in 1979. What are the benefits of Mindfulness? Mindfulness is the practice of present moment, open-hearted awareness of one's life experience. It starts with practices which befriend the body/mind. Many people find it helps them: • Flourish by enhancing physical, emotional, mental, and social health and well-being, • Deal better with the tough stuff: Be less reactive to stress, difficult emotions, situations, and people in your life, • Develop practical skills to apply kindness and understanding to oneself, others, and the world, • Find joy in everyday experiences.
