Theme:“There is more right with you, than wrong with you.”

Learning focus: Problems can be worked with, and the MBSR program offers the opportunity to do this in a supportive environment. Present-moment awareness of body sensations, thoughts, and emotions is the foundation of this work, because it is only in the present that one can learn, grow, and change. This includes exploring, mindfulness and reflecting on “What is mindfulness?”

Practices Introduced: Awareness of the Breath, Body Scan
