What is Mindfulness (MBSR)?
Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is a specific skills training which is scientifically proven to be effective and efficient for stress and pain relief. It is based on the original concept of MBSR (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction) developed by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn, which he launched at the University of Massachusetts Medical School in 1979. Since that time, thousands of studies have documented the physical and mental health benefits of mindfulness in general and MBSR in particular, inspiring countless programs to adapt the MBSR model for schools, prisons, hospitals, veterans centers, and beyond.
How does it work?
By learning various meditation techniques you will be able to recognize your own automatic behavior patterns, your physical status quo and sensations, your emotions, your attitudes as well as your judgemental thoughts. In practice this means that you become more aware of thoughts, bodily sensations, emotions, feelings, and behavioral patterns. This allows you to become aware of and catch (stress-) stimuli earlier. Based on this you can interrupt stress cycles before they get out control.
You also learn to pay attention consciously on the present moment: with the training all thoughts or memories about the past or future plans are released.The result is that you experience high attention on everything that is happening at that particular moment. So, you can be fully present while playing with your children, or listen to singing birds singing when you step out the door in the morning.
