MBSR and its demonstrated effectiveness
MBSR has been proven to be effective by various research institutions, and is a program in which groups of a few to 30 people participate in sessions of 2.5 hours each and daily independent practice over an eight-week period. We will provide cognitive training through exercises centered on meditation and bodywork (yoga, etc.).
Many studies have been conducted on its effects, and it has been shown to be effective in reducing stress, reducing mental pain from chronic headaches and cancer, and improving immunity.
