Mindfulness

Mindfulness

Mindfulness makes it possible to break out of the vicious circle of negative thoughts and feelings. You learn to be more aware of your body and body signals. The clearer view makes it possible to make better decisions. Tensions can be released and ingrained patterns of behavior become visible and changeable.

Those who are mindful can perceive themselves and the world as if with new eyes: open, accepting, loving and without prejudice - even in unpleasant situations. Mindfulness is a way of self-awareness, helps to improve your quality of life and can be used as a preventative measure against stress, the consequences of stress and burnout.

Established mindfulness programs:

MBSR Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (stress reduction through mindfulness)

This form of mindfulness training is designed as an 8-week program that uses guided meditations, simple physical exercises and other strategies to improve stress management, resilience and quality of life.
MBSR was largely developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn at the University Hospital of Massachusetts in 1979. MBSR is a clinically evaluated method that supports people in coping with stress, pain and other psycho-physical burdens.

IPM Interpersonal Mindfulness (Interpersonal Mindfulness)

This form of mindfulness helps to transfer experiences of meditation into relationships. The six guidelines of this practice are: pause, relax, open up, trust what arises, listen deeply and tell the truth.
IPM is also set up as an 8-week course that builds on the mindfulness practice to develop presence in relationships, compassion and self-compassion. IPM is based on the so-called "Insight Dialogue" developed by Gregory Cramer.

MSC Mindful Self Compassion

Mindfulness and (self-)compassion are fundamental human skills that can be cultivated to promote well-being and reduce suffering.
Self-compassion means showing as much care, generosity and respect to ourselves in difficult situations as we would show to a loved one in the same situation.
This 8-week program developed by Kristin Neff and Christopher Germer guides you to be less harsh with yourself, to face difficult feelings more calmly and to live with more self-kindness.
