It is based on the methods of Jon Kabat-Zinn, Ph.D. at the UMass Medical Center and was also featured on the Bill Moyers’ PBSR documentary, “Healing and the Mind.” Mindfulness is the practice of cultivating non-judgmental awareness in day-to-day life. Mindfulness develops the potential to experience each moment, no matter how difficult or intense, with serenity and clarity. Meditation can help you feel better, sleep better, increase your ability to cope with stressful situations, improve self-esteem and renew enthusiasm for life and work.
