Mindfulness

Over the past decade our Mindfulness has been a major supporting factor within our clinic for treating

  1. Stress and anxiety
  2. Infertility
  3. Miscarriage Prevention
  4. Period Pain
  5. Headaches
  6. Irritable Bowel Syndrome IBS

These are some of the common ailments we will see on a regular basis. Jon Kabat-Zinn is one of the recommended teachers we share within a clinic on the Gold Coast. He first realised the appropriateness of mindfulness in the treatment of chronic medical conditions. Kabat-Zinn later adapted Hanh’s teachings into the structured eight-week Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction course, which has since spread throughout the western World.

The following link is a 70 minute talk with a 20 minute meditation by google mind. His practice of yoga and studies with Buddhist teachers led him to integrate their teachings with those of Western science. He teaches mindfulness meditation which he claims can help people cope with stress, anxiety, pain and illness. The stress reduction program created by Kabat-Zinn is offered at medical centers, hospitals, and health maintenance organisations.
