Mindfulness Instruction

Programs that promote the use of mindfulness, the practice of focusing purposely and intensely on what one is sensing and feeling in the moment, without interpretation or judgment, using meditation, guided imagery or other types of training that help to relax the body and mind and relieve stress. Mindfulness practice can be used to reduce anxiety and depression, treat drug addiction, assist children with special needs, and as an intervention during the perinatal period. It can also be effective in the context of healthy aging, weight management and athletic performance.
