Mindfulness for Health
|
A simple 8-week mindfulness and compassion course to give you the tools and skills to live well with your chronic pain or health condition. Chronic pain and ill-health can feel unbearable, debilitating, and unfair. Many people at the beginning of these courses say their life feels completely overshadowed by their pain and illness. Clinical trials have shown that mindfulness meditation can be as effective as prescription painkillers, and can enhance the body's natural healing systems. Mindfulness can also reduce the anxiety, depression, irritability, exhaustion, and insomnia that arises from chronic pain and illness. |
“The Breathworks approach to Mindfulness-Based Pain Management is the most comprehensive, in-depth, scientifically up-to-date and user-friendly approach to learning the how of living with chronic pain and reclaiming one’s life that I know of.” Jon Kabat-Zinn Creator of MBSR, University of Massachusetts Medical School
This course is a mix of mindfulness, meditation, supportive mindful movement practice, and modern pain management strategies, created and refined by mindfulness experts who've made it their life's mission to share them, having suffered themselves from chronic pain and health problems.
