Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Classes
Mindful at Methodist
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction centers on a systematic method of meditation aimed at cultivating clarity, insight, and understanding. The practice of mindfulness helps you experientially learn how to take better care of yourself by exploring and understanding the interplay of mind and body. It mobilizes your own inner resources of coping, growing and healing.
This program has helped countless people in a wide range of circumstances. We believe it can be helpful to you, too – if you are willing to actively engage in your own health and well-being.
