Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) teaches meditation and gentle yoga to cultivate awareness and reduce stress. MBSR was developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn and is taught at locations worldwide, including Duke Integrative Medicine. MBSR was created on the foundation of the ancient practice of mindfulness, which encourages being fully present in our lives with greater peace and ease. People take on MBSR course for reasons that include stress, anxiety, depression, and chronic pain, GI distress, chronic illness, fatigue, heart disease, insomnia, or grief/loss. It is a practice is useful for stress reduction, a greater sense of well-being, and enhanced creativity. The class is a compliment to, not a substitute for, medical and psychological treatment.
