530-304-4341A Mindfulness-Based Approach to Stress Reduction and Improved Health and Well-Being
This program is designed to teach mind and body awareness techniques to help people living with physical or psychological symptoms due to stress, pain, or illness. It is based on the methods of Jon Kabat-Zinn, Ph.D. at the UMass Medical Center and was also featured on the Bill Moyers’ PBS documentary, “Healing and the Mind.”
Mindfulness is the practice of cultivating non-judgmental awareness in day-to-day life. Mindfulness develops the potential to experience each moment, no matter how difficult or intense, with serenity and clarity. Meditation can help you feel better, sleep better, increase your ability to cope with stressful situations, improve self-esteem and renew enthusiasm for life and work. One can feel more alive and joyful and gain immediate access to powerful inner resources for healing.
This program can help with a broad range of health conditions that can be influenced by the effects of stress:
Medical Conditions:
Arthritis
Anxiety and Panic
Asthma
Cancer
Diabetes
Fibromyalgia
Gastrointestinal disorders
Depression
Chronic pain
Headaches/Migraines
