Cincinnati Mindfulness Group May 2011

“Mindfulness provides a simple but powerful route for getting ourselves unstuck and back in touch with our own wisdom and vitality. It is a way to take charge of the direction and quality of our own lives, including our relationships within the family, our relationships to work, the larger world and the planet, and most fundamentally, our relationship with ourself as a person.”
— Jon Kabat-Zinn, PhD

I'm thrilled to be a part of a collaboration with the Alliance Institute for Integrative Medicine to promote the use of mindfulness to reduce stress and enrich our lives. The next group will be on 8 consecutive Tuesdays, May 24-July 12, 2011, from 5:30pm to 7pm. For more info, visit http://www.psych-insights.com/mindfulness.html.

A new study showed that individuals who were randomly assigned either to take antidepressant medication or attend a Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy course had an equal chance of getting another relapse of depression. Zindel Segal comments on the results on the blog of the UCSD Center for Mindfulness.
