TRANSCRIPT
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Program Developing Present Moment Awareness: Held at Old St. Patrick’s The MBSR program is a way of integrating the Spiritual Practice of Mindfulness into daily life: learning to walk a contemplative path with practical feet. We learn to pay attention on purpose in the present moment, without judgment, to life as it is. Research has shown MBSR supports health enhancement, and emotional resilience. In MBSR you will learn, “Present Moment Awareness” which: quiets the mind and lessons reactivity; sharpens focus and increases concentration; and supports the development of being empowered in one’s life.
