Mindful Stress Relief for Humans - Now Enrolling

Are you a human being? Could you use some practical tools to deal with your stress and unhappiness? Or just curious about meditation and peace of mind?

Way Opens Wellness in Yardley is pleased to announce that it will host the popular stress relief program, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), online via Zoom on Thursday mornings or Sunday afternoons, beginning January 21 and running through mid-March, with a one-day retreat on Saturday, February 27.

Attend a free information session with program leader Amy Ward Brimmer, on Saturday, January 16 at 10:30 am.

This classic 8-week training in meditation and mindful movement was created over 40 years ago by well-known author and researcher Jon Kabat-Zinn. MBSR participants learn to understand, through direct experience, how to mindfully cope with pain, illness, loss, and the everyday challenge of being alive. Specifically, mindfulness helps you develop the ability to be non-judgmental, compassionate, patient, present, and aware.

Watch a 4-minute video with a MBSR graduate sharing why she took the course and two important takeaways she got from it.

Recent MBSR participants say:

• This course has forever changed my perspective as to what makes me happy. I find myself better equipped to deal with my stressful work life and far more patient in trying circumstances.
• It was pure growth for me. I learned to be still with my breath, to make time for myself; a worthy investment.
• This work allowed me to be okay with stopping, taking a break, taking a breath and waiting. It helped me get unstuck in my life, and every day I am able to love myself more.
• The biggest surprise has been the impact on my everyday life. My relationships are stronger and calmer.
• The fruits of the practice have been pervasive: awareness, intention, gratitude, humility. Thank you!

The Winter MBSR Foundations 8-week program offers two online options: Thursdays, 9:30 am – 12:00 pm, January 21 - March 11,2021, or Sundays, 2:00 - 4:30 pm, January 24 - March 14, 2021.
