This package includes 4 CDs that I recorded and used in my regular 8-week MBSR programs. (Learn more about MBSR). Each CD is about 45 minutes long. They include:
• Body Scan
• Mindful Hatha Yoga I
• Guided Sitting Meditation
• Mindful Hatha Yoga II
This program also includes 8 homework material packets which total 66 pages of readings, exercises and suggestions for deepening your mindfulness practice and making the most of this experience. I have also added 98 pages of supplemental articles related to the impact of MBSR in the areas of: intimate relationships, pain management, healthy eating, psychotherapy and prison work.
While not the same as a typical 8 week interactive group MBSR experience, this program provides a reasonable alternative for anyone unable to attend a more traditional MBSR program who wants to experience the benefits of this research-based, integrated stress and lifestyle management program.
Cost: A donation of between $50.00 to $250.00 is suggested. If your financial situation prevents you from making even a $50 donation, please donate whatever amount you feel you can afford. In the past, I have found that those in a more comfortable financial position will donate more so it all balances out in the end. What is most important is that you get the help you are seeking from this powerful program.

As an alternative to this home study course, you may want consider the "MBSR cyberspace experience" offered by Mindful Living Program. Although, considerably more costly, it's a on-line, interactive course that meets via computer link-up so you may get some of the benefits of attending a live group. I have not experienced this course but I know and respect those who offer it. If you try their program, please share your experiences with me. Drop me a note at John@Bemindful.org Thank you!
