SUMMARY:Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (PSYCH - 15MIND01)
DESCRIPTION:Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (PSYCH – 15MIND01)\nMindfulness is the art and science of paying attention\, of listening to ourselves and the world around us\, of learning “to be intimate with all things” as Zen master Dogen put it. Meditation can help you feel\, sleep and cope better while improving self-esteem and renewing enthusiasm for one’s personal and work life. You will learn to cultivate non-judgmental awareness in day-to-day life and develop the potential to experience each moment – no matter how difficult – with greater serenity and clarity.
