MBSR for Stress Reduction
MBSR (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction) is a very well-researched program developed by Prof. Jon Kabat-Zinn in 1979 at the University Hospital of Massachusetts (USA). Central to this modern approach to stress reduction is the training of mindfulness.
Mindfulness means to increase the awareness of what is really happening inside (thoughts, emotions, body sensations) and outside in every moment. Through this training of perception you develop a more relaxed and appropriate way of handling straining influences and stress factors. You learn to meet your challenges with calmness, clarity, and acceptance. Through this you learn to create your daily life in a less stressful way.
MBSR is helpful if you:
- have professional or personal stress
- suffer from chronic, acute or psychosomatic diseases
- feel exhausted, dispirited, unmotivated or fearful
- experience nervousness or lack of concentration
- want to improve your self-awareness and self-confidence
Stress is the new mass-disease of the 21st century. According to the WHO (World Health Organization) stress is one of the main health risks of this century. It causes enormous and often underestimated physical and mental damage. When stressed, neurotransmission in the brain malfunctions and the creation of new neurons is disturbed.
MBSR uses the following methods:
- Body awareness exercises (Body Scan)
- Simple exercises (Yoga)
- Guided meditations
- Lectures on relevant issues
- Discussions, sharing
- Integration into daily life
These methods will be used systematically and are effective in parts of the brain that are responsible for the handling of negativity and stress. The effectiveness of these easy-to-do and reasonable techniques has been researched in numerous studies.
MBSR leads to:
- More control over situations
- Better handling of emotional and physical strain
- The ability to recognize inner resourses
- More relaxation in daily life
- More creativity
- Growing self-esteem
- More energy, vitality and joy
