MINDFULNESS BASED STRESS REDUCTION (MBSR)
MINDFULNESS is developed by purposefully paying attention in a non-judgemental way, to what is going on in your body, your mind and in the world around you. We call this moment to moment awareness- MINDFULNESS. It is about being awake and aware – living in the present- rather than stuck in dwelling in the past or anticipating the future.
The aim of the programme is to learn new ways to handle challenging physical sensations, emotions, moods or social interactions.
The course aims to assist you in taking better care of yourself and your students while getting more out of living. The majority of people completing the programme report lasting physical and psychological benefits including:
An increased ability to relax and experience calm
Greater energy, enthusiasm and appreciation for life
Heightened self-confidence and more acceptance for life as it is
An increased ability to cope more effectively with both short- and long-term stressful situations
