September 2010 BoiseIONS presentation-MSBR

“Kristin Koskella is a local teacher and practitioner of Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR).

MBSR is the outgrowth of over 30 years of research by the University of Massachusetts Medical School’s Stress Reduction Clinic. The full MBSR course consists of guided instruction in mindfulness meditation practices, group dialogue and discussions aimed at enhancing awareness in everyday life, individually tailored instruction, daily home assignments and home practice CD’s.

Mindfulness is the practice of consciously and systematically working with
your own stress, pain, illness and challenges; thereby meeting each moment
with greater clarity and peace of mind.

At the September meeting Kristin will introduce the group to the discipline of MBSR and illustrate some of it’s methods and benefits.”
