The Benefits of MBSR
Scientific research at medical and research centers around the world suggests that MBSR can
positively and often profoundly affect participants' lives.
Stress reduction
Decreased medical symptoms
Improved self-care
Greater ability to manage anxiety and depression
Loosening of the grip of negative habits and thinking
Improvement in symptoms of burnout
Clearer recognition of when your attitude or mood is beginning to change so you can become less reactive
Discovery that difficult and unwanted thoughts and feelings can be seen from an altogether different perspective – a perspective that brings with it a sense of compassion and less judgment to the suffering you are experiencing
Improved sense of well-being and learning how to be present and appreciate the simple pleasures of everyday life, connect with yourself, and the experience of being alive
Learning to practice mindfulness provides a way of relating directly with whatever is happening in your life, a way of taking charge of your life, of consciously and systematically noticing and responding to your own stress and pain, and to the challenges and demands of living. This starts with cultivating present-moment attention in an open, nonjudgmental way. MBSR is a nonsectarian, scientifically researched approach that is in harmony with any faith-based tradition.
