MBSR is a highly researched educational program that uses mindfulness meditation to teach taking better care of ourselves and living healthier and more satisfying lives.  Mindfulness practice is ideal for cultivating greater awareness of the ways unconscious thoughts, feelings, and behaviors can undermine emotional and physical health. The mind is known to be a factor in stress and stress-related disorders, and meditation has been shown to positively effect a range of physiological processes, such as lowering blood pressure and reducing overall arousal and emotional reactivity.   

How Mindfulness Can Help

Reduces future-oriented thinking and worrying

Helps us keep from obsessing about the past

Opens up more options for dealing with the present

Recognizes that thoughts are not facts

Creates self-empowerment  

People who have participated in MBSR have found relief from a range of conditions including: chronic pain, IBS, migraine headaches, anxiety,  high blood pressure, sleep disorders, depression 

The MBSR program started in the Stress Reduction Clinic at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center in 1979 and is now offered in over 200 medical centers, hospitals, and clinics around the world.

Dr.  Robin Boudette trained in MBSR at Thomas Jefferson Hospital and will be teaching the class with psychologist Dr. Pat Vroom who trained in MBSR at the University of Massachusetts and establised the mindfulness program at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in NYC.

 Mindfulness Meditation Class

Develop an inner resource to facilitate healing & wellbeing     Respond creatively rather then react automatically             Transform negative habit patterns by applying mindfulness         Find the freedom that exists in the magic of every moment

If you have been hearing a lot about meditation and wanting to give it a try, or, if you have been looking for a way to jump start your personal practice, this class would be a good fit for you.  Over the course of 6 sessions, the practices and principles of mindfulness meditation will be introduced in a friendly and supportive atmosphere.

In mindfulness meditation, you begin by resting the attention on one aspect of experience, like the breath or sounds. Once a sense of calm is established, you note whatever arises in the field of your experience.  Paradoxically, this process of observing can lead you to feel less bothered by negative thoughts, painful emotions and unpleasant sensations.

The emphasis will be on using meditative techniques to bring mindfulness into daily life. We often suffer from the effects of stress and develop persistent habits that cause emotional and physical imbalances.  By slowing down and taking closer look, it's possible to weaken the power of negative habits and learn to creatively respond to whatever arises.

Research shows that daily meditation can help you enhance your overall health and well-being. Mindfulness meditation offers you a way to approach stress and live life more effectively.  Each session will include meditative practices, discussion and suggestions for home practice.
