Course Description:
What is mindfulness and how can it help deal with stress and pain?
Mindfulness is a path that teaches us to experience ourselves and the world in a vivid and immediate way. Through mindfulness we deal more consciously with our body, our thoughts, feelings and behavioral patterns. By developing mindfulness we can reduce inner stress and develop new ways of living daily life.
Through continuous practice, participants in an MBSR course learn to quiet the mind and it is possible to experience periods of deep inner stillness and relaxation.
MBSR course content
After an individual preliminary discussion, the course includes 8 evenings (each 2.5 hours) and a one day silent retreat ( 6 hours) with the following content:
- Mindfulness exercises while sitting, walking and lying down
- Mindful bodywork, gentle yoga and stretching exercises
- Short lectures and group discussions on key topics such as dealing with stress or pain and with difficult feelings
With the support of CDs, the exercises are practiced regularly at home. Regular practice is an essential element of mindfulness training. In order to integrate the program content into everyday life, the willingness to set up an exercise time of approx. 30 to 45 minutes at home over a period of 8 weeks, 6 days a week is required.
The course is suitable for people
- who experience stress resulting from work, family or illness
- who are burdened with acute or chronic difficulties or pain
- who want to integrate mindfulness and vitality into their lives
- who are looking for a meaningful and healing supplement to a medical or psychotherapeutic treatment
