Exploring Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction

(036) Phil Phails @ Stress with Mamata Misra
Phillip and Mamata Misra dive into Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), an eight-week experiential program developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn to help manage stress. They discuss the course structure, including meditation practices, mindful movement, and the transformative power of awareness. Phillip shares his own experience with MBSR during a difficult time in his life, reflecting on how it deepened his meditation practice and shifted his mindset. From body scans to mindful eating (yes, the infamous raisin exercise), they explore how these techniques foster presence and resilience.
