<div><span style="font-family:Arial;"><a name="11934f32f14b205d_LETTER.BLOCK17"><strong>Mindfulness</strong> refers to the concept of developing awareness in the present moment, without judging or evaluating your experience. By training in mindfulness, we create an inner space and clarity that enables us to control our minds regardless of external circumstances. The MBSR program helps participants to identify stressors in their lives, to modify behaviour to interrupt stress-producing cycles, and to meet life situations with increased awareness and options for action.<br />
</a></span></div>
<p><span style="font-size:x-small;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:#000000;"> </span></p>
<div><span style="font-size:x-small;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:#000000;"><strong>Mindfulness</strong> helps us to strengthen our connection with the present moment, by developing the ability to notice when our thoughts have pulled us away, into the past or into the future.</p>

<div><span style="font-size:x-small;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:#000000;">The MBSR program helps participants to identify stressors in their lives, modify behaviour to interrupt stress-producing cycles, and meet life situations with increased awareness and options for action.</span><span style="font-size:x-small;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:#000000;">The program includes guided meditation, guided instruction in gentle mindful yoga, guided instruction for a body scan and exercises to enhance everyday awareness.<br />
<strong><br />
</strong></span><span style="font-size:x-small;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:#000000;"><strong>Benefits</strong><br />
The benefits of this program are not limited to those experiencing stress: the tools and techniques learned in this program are beneficial in the treatment of many conditions, including chronic pain, anxiety, depression, anger management, post-traumatic stress disorder, addictions, and relationship issues.</span></div>
<p><span style="font-size:x-small;"><strong>M.B.C.T.</strong><br />
</span><span style="font-size:x-small;">From the book titled, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Depression: &#8220;These</span><span style="font-size:x-small;"> instructors (MBSR) were teaching a radically different approach that encouraged participants to ALLOW difficult thoughts and feelings simply to be there, to bring to them a kindly awareness, to adopt toward them a more WELCOME than a NEED TO SOLVE stance&#8221;<br />
