Mindfulness Meditation is widely used as a means to increase focus of attention in the present moment thus allowing our innate calmness and clarity of mind to come forth. This is a great aid in responding skillfully to the stressors in our lives. Historically, Mindfulness Meditation is based upon Four Foundations: Mindfulness of body, feelings, mind and mind objects. In our four sessions together, with the help of guided meditations and discussion, we will be learning about and practicing each of these foundations of mindfulness.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n        \n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Mindfulness-Based Stress Management Course:<\/strong> <em>Finding Contentment and Personal Growth in the World We Live In<\/em><\/h4>\n<p><em>Paula Huffman, BS, RN, ERYT, Mindfulness Instructor, Mindfulness Mentor<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Dates:<\/strong> Fridays May 2- June 20<br \/>\n<strong>Time:<\/strong> 9:30-11:30am<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/apps2.research.unc.edu\/events\/index.cfm?event=events.go&amp;key=C720\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click to register<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<div role=\"tablist\" class=\"panel-group yourcustomclass oscitas-bootstrap-container\" id=\"unc-accordion-1\">\n\n<div class=\"panel panel-default oscitas-bootstrap-container\">\n\n    <div id=\"panel-heading-details-1-0\" class=\"panel-heading oscitas-bootstrap-container\" role=\"tab\">\n\n        <h2 class=\"panel-title oscitas-bootstrap-container\">\n\n            <button class=\"accordion-toggle oscitas-bootstrap-container collapsed\" \n                id = \"button-details-1-0\"\n                data-toggle=\"collapse\"\n                data-parent=\"#unc-accordion-1\"    \n                aria-controls=\"#details-1-0\"  \n                aria-expanded=\"false\" \n                href=\"#details-1-0\">\n                Course Description            <\/button>\n\n        <\/h2>\n\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div id=\"details-1-0\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse out oscitas-bootstrap-container\">\n\n        <div class=\"panel-body oscitas-bootstrap-container\">\n<p>This Mindfulness Based Stress Management course is an evidence based, educational, secular program modeled on the 8-week course as originally developed in the late 1970s at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center by Jon Kabat-Zinn, PhD.<\/p>\n<p>This 8-week course teaches participants the fundamentals of Mindfulness and how to cultivate coping strategies for dealing with stress and life\u2019s daily challenges.
