Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction: Toronto Fall Course

It is hard to believe that summer is almost over and fall is just around the corner. As we start to plan for the changing of the seasons, I want to take this opportunity to let you know about the next Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program that I will be co-facilitating with psychiatrist, Dr. Neil Levitsky. Visit his website for some very useful resources on cognitive therapy  www.cognitivetoronto.com

Mindfulness is a non-judgmental way of paying attention in the present moment. This helps us to relate differently to life problems, and conditions such as Depression and Anxiety, opening us to the possibility for change, reducing our reactivity.

The main way we formally practice mindfulness in this program is through various forms of meditation and gentle yoga.  These are practiced at home; you can expect about an hour a day of homework.

Our next course is starting on Wednesday October 10, 2012 from 7:00-9:30pm and will be held at the Yonge Lawrence Centre for Counselling and Consulting. We are now accepting new participants for the upcoming MBSR course in the fall.
