Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is based on the work of Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn who, in 1979, began to teach patients the fundamentals of meditation to aid in stress reduction. This program now has a body of research demonstrating its benefits for a wide variety of people.
In this course, you will learn how to:
