MINDFULNESS BASED STRESS REDUCTION - MBSR incorporates techniques such as meditation, gentle yoga and mind-body exercises to help people cope with stress. It gives them a greater awareness of what is happening in their lives, improves their capacity to concentrate and remain calm, whatever their circumstances. It enables people to recognise and accept things just as they are and as they are not.  Mindfulness creates space to respond to situations and make choices in a clear and level headed way.
