Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)

 

To be "mindful" means to be fully in the present moment, with an open awareness. That sounds simple, but in reality we are often elsewhere in our minds. Our thoughts run away with themselves, emotions take over and physical cues from our bodies go unnoticed. We then tend to react automatically and can go over our boundaries without realising it.

This training will help you to break that pattern. Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) offers a scientifically based method that will help you to find more balance, calm and resilience. In 8 weekly meetings of 2.5 hours (and a silent practice day), you will learn different skills and techniques that will help to reduce stress and promote well-being in general.

 

​Mindfulness betekent met open aandacht aanwezig zijn in het moment. Dat klinkt eenvoudig, maar in de praktijk zijn we vaak met ons hoofd ergens anders. Onze gedachten dwalen af, emoties nemen het over en signalen van ons lichaam gaan aan ons voorbij. Daardoor reageren we automatisch en gaan we soms ongemerkt over onze grenzen heen.

Deze training helpt je om dit patroon te doorbreken. Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) biedt een bewezen en wetenschappelijke onderbouwde manier om meer balans, rust en veerkracht to vinden. In acht bijeenkomsten van 2,5 uur (en een stiltedag) leer je verschillende vaardigheden en technieken die helpen bij het verminderen van stress en het bevorderen van je gehele welzijn.

 

Is mindfulness for me?

 

MBSR training is suitable for everyone who would like to learn how to deal better with stress and tension, regardless of age or background. Whether you have a busy work life, personal challenges or would just like a more peaceful life.
