Classes, Workshops, & EventsUpcoming Classes and WorkshopsMindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is a method of using meditation and yoga to cultivate awareness and reduce stress. It is based on the ancient practice of mindfulness, which is about waking up, being fully alive, and being present in the richness of each moment of our lives. Within this awakening, we gain access to our deepest inner resources for living, healing, and coping with stress. In our program, participants practice present moment awareness, deep relaxation, and gentle movement. Through the use of these techniques, a person learns to discover and observe his or her reactions to life's stressors and to choose how to respond. With practice, one can apply these skills to everyday situations and connect more fully with one's self, loved ones, and the life one is living.

About the Program Graduate of MBSR?View our MBSR Continuation Program information and class schedule Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is an important element of Integrative Medicine. Participants in the MBSR Program learn to develop specific skills for paying attention and for deep relaxation, and to apply these in daily situations. It is a complement, not a substitute, for whatever medical treatments a person may be receiving. In developing Mindfulness, or moment-to-moment awareness, you connect more fully with the present moment, the fullness of life, and your own deep inner resources for healing, coping, growing, and taking charge in new ways in your life. The MBSR program at Duke Integrative Medicine is based on the national model developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn. Our participants are strongly encouraged to obtain Jon's book Full Catastrophe Living to support their success in MBSR. NOTE: Call about available financial assistance. |
