Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Program

PUR Mindful

Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction January 19, 2022 - March 9, 2022  Wednesdays 5:30 - 7:30pm.

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) course is unlike any sort of program you may have encountered before.It involves cultivating a different relationship between you and the things that challenge you in your life and relies completely upon the tools you already have. Specifically, mindfulness helps you access the ability to be non-judgmental, compassionate, patient, present, and aware. You wouldn’t have come this far if these qualities did not exist in you somewhere.However, just because you have the inner wisdom and resources to contend differently with your life and all its aspects, does not mean that you routinely use them. Most of us are on “auto-pilot” much of the day and tend to react much more than we respond to the decisions and situations we face. Our courses are intended to develop the innate ability to cultivate mindfulness over “mindlessness”, with which we are all familiar. Those moments when we are unaware of where we are, what we are feeling and why we are doing what we are doing. Quite frequently, those are the moments that contribute most to our suffering. Just a few examples are: eating foods that we know we would be better off not eating; spending time with people that cause us great difficulty or emotional pain; or engaging in activities that are stressful, harmful or unnecessarily distracting.The “flagship” 8-week MBSR program focus and intention is to reconnect you with that inner wisdom and deep knowing that resides within you. Mindfulness-based groups have a huge and growing body of research supporting their usefulness to address the kinds of problems we have described.Guided instruction in mindfulness meditation practicesGentle stretching and mindful yogaInquiry exercises to enhance awareness in everyday lifeGroup discussions and dialogue aimed at enhancing awareness in everyday lifeDiscussion with partners and small groups on personal responses to stress and well-being goalsDaily home assignmentsGuided audio files for home practiceA workbook with short readings, a guide to the course, and resources to support your ongoing investigation of mindfulnessPlease note we need at least 6 participants for the program to take place.Please email me at tina@purmindful.com once you have registered or if you would like to pay in person. $375 If you would like to pay in installments let me know. tina@purmindful.com Tina Abraham
