Description
"Wherever you are, just be there" – this is mindfulness. Why should a person practice mindfulness? Here are a few reasons:
- University of New Mexico researchers found that participation in a Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBR) course decreased anxiety and binge eating.
- Office workers who practiced MBSR for twenty minutes a day reported an average 11% reduction in perceived stress.
- The likelihood of recurrence for patients who had experienced three or more bouts of depression was reduced by half through Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, an offshoot of MBSR.
- After fifteen weeks of practicing MBSR, counseling students reported improved physical and emotional well-being, and a positive effect on their counseling skills and therapeutic relationships.
