The ancient practice of mindfulness meditation
is now rapidly becoming part of
mainstream psychology. 

It has been found to be highly effective
in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR).

MBSR was originally developed by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn
at the University of Massachusetts  in Worcester, MA.

MBSR courses are now offered in hundreds of hospitals
and other locations throughout North America and
in many other parts of the world.

I received training from Dr. Kabat-Zinn in 1993
and then started the first MBSR program in Minnesota
at Abbott-Northwestern Hospital in Mpls. MN.

I offered this program until 1999 when I retired.
I have personally practiced mindfulness meditation
for over 30 years and regard it as the single most
valuable skill I've ever acquired.

There is now abundant research findings that document
the effectiveness of MBSR in all of the following conditions:

• Chronic Pain disorders
  
• Anxiety Disorders (Panic Attacks, Agoraphobia, OCD)
  
• Depression
  
• Psoriasis
  
• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
  
• Stress-related illness of all kinds
  

I'm strongly committed to sharing my expertise about the "miracle of mindfulness" with anyone who is interested in learning about, and applying, it. 

To this end, I've created a special blog for folks with chronic back pain.  I'll send you information about it, along with directions for downloading the two mp3's, as soon as I get your email address.
