Free Introduction to Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction April 30, 2007

FREE INTRODUCTORY WORKSHOP!

The 8-week MBSR is back at PCYH! MBSR initiates collaboration between PCYH and Capital Health System’s new Integral Medicine Department. The course will be taught by Pat Vroom, PhD, Capital Health Systems’ Director of Integral/Complementary Medicine and Deborah Megtzer, RYT, LSW, PCYH’s Founder & Director.

We invite you to work with this outstanding team to bring your life to a new level of quiet strength and purpose. You will be taught the same 8-week series that forms the basis today for the key research studies with meditation. Its structured educational approach offers mindfulness meditation and gentle yoga as the core of its program to guide people to take better care of themselves and to live healthier and more adaptive lives.

People who have participated in MBSR have found help with a range of physiological and stress-related conditions including chronic pain, IBS, migraine headaches, high blood pressure, cancer, sleep disorders, anxiety and depression. Mindfulness is as simple (and as difficult) as living in moment-to-moment awareness. It is invoked by first paying close attention to your breath and then to every other aspect of your life. MBSR provides training in meditation, mindful-yoga, and relaxation to mobilize your mind/body resources to work with stress, pain, and illness in new ways that can promote growth and healing. Its success requires a strong commitment to daily practice.

Dr. Vroom trained at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center’s well-known Stress Reduction Clinic and taught MBSR at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in NYC before coming to Princeton. ***** $495
