MBSR - Mindfulness-based stress management (with health insurance subsidy)

MBSR - Mindfulness-based stress management at work and beyond - basic seminar
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"There are only two days a year when you can do nothing. One is yesterday, the other tomorrow. This means that today is the right day to love, to believe and, above all, to live." (Dalai Lama)

The course teaches scientifically proven methods of mindfulness that are suitable for everyday use to develop stress management and relaxation skills. The aim is to strengthen your own resilience in order to arm yourself against stress-related illnesses such as burnout and to increase your well-being at work and in your private life.

The program combines meditative exercises in rest and movement with the latest findings from modern psychology and stress research. Using the MBSR (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction) method, we learn how to transform automatic reactions into conscious perceptions, recognize thoughts and beliefs that exacerbate stress and act mindfully in harmony with our own needs.
