ZUMBROTA -- After a busy holiday season, many overworked and overtired people are looking forward to slowing down. Crossings is offering a workshop designed to teach participants how to approach life mindfully and reduce stress all year long. Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is an eight-week course on Monday evenings starting Jan. 21.
Facilitator Michelle Jamieson will teach participants how to apply and integrate mindfulness into their daily lives. Mindfulness cultivates present-moment awareness and the connection of mind and body. Being acutely aware of what is real in each moment can reveal the unconscious thoughts or actions that cause people to react and rob them of the choice to respond to what is happening.
Seated meditation, walking meditation, body scan, and yoga are employed, and learning through experience is emphasized. Jamieson will show students how to transfer the application of these practices to everyday life. The self-regulatory skills and mind/body awareness developed through consistent practicing in mindfulness meditation are beneficial in increasing relaxation and proprioceptive awareness (the sense of how our bodies are positioned), coping with stress, altering one’s perception and relationship to physical pain, and promoting feelings of health and well-being.
MBSR was started by Jon Kabat-Zinn at the Stress Reduction Clinic at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center in 1979 working with patients dealing with chronic pain. MBSR is now offered in more than 250 medical centers and hospitals around the world.
The course also includes weekly homework assignments and a meditation CD. The book, “Full Catastrophe Living,” by Jon Kabat-Zinn is required reading and must be purchased separately.
Jamieson has nearly 20 years of experience in education. She holds a degree in music education and a masters in conducting, has completed dozens of certifications in fitness instruction, and is trained to lead MBSR classes. She inspires participants to develop their talents, embrace their creativity, and discover the strengths and abilities of their bodies.
The Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Workshop runs from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Mondays, Jan. 21 to March 11. Also included is a silent retreat on Sun., Feb. 24, from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Participants should bring a sack lunch for the retreat. Cost for the course is $325.
To register, stop in at Crossings, 320 East Ave, Zumbrota or call 507-732-7616. For more information, go to www.crossingsatcarnegie.com.
