What is Mindfulness? And how does it reduce stress levels?

The Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction class is an 8-week program that teaches mindfulness as a way to develop greater present moment awareness and an improved sense of wellbeing. This increased awareness helps in making more intentional and healthful choices in support of personal growth, relationships, and healing.

There are many scientifically documented benefits of practicing mindfulness. These benefits include:

• Improved physical wellbeing (e.g., improved immune response, decreased pain, and decreased blood pressure)
• Improved mental and emotional wellbeing (e.g., reduced stress and anxiety, improved mood, improved focus and concentration)
• Improved interpersonal skills and relationship quality (e.g., better listening skills, increased compassion)
• Greater resources to make changes, try new activities, and deal with life’s challenges
• Greater meaning and fulfillment (e.g., increased clarity about personal values)
