In developing Mindfulness, participants connect more fully with the present moment, the fullness of life, and their own deep inner resources for healing, coping, growing, and taking charge in new ways in their lives. You are invited to consider the Stress Reduction Program for yourself. If you join, you will be expected to do so wholeheartedly. Your benefits depend directly on your own willingness to attend class sessions and to practice on your own outside of class daily. But, if you stay with it, you can discover wisdom and resources you did not realize within yourself.
Participants find the program challenging, but pleasurable and empowering as well.
Literally thousands of people have gone through similar programs. The majority report lasting decreases in both physical and psychological symptoms. Pain levels improve and people learn to cope better with pain that may not go away. Most people also report an increased ability to relax, greater enthusiasm for life, improved self-esteem, and increased ability to cope more effectively with stressful situations. Two evaluation interviews, one before and one following completion of the program.
