Mindfulness-Based<br />
Stress Reduction<br />
Course Offered<br />
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction<br />
(MBSR) will be offered in an eight-week<br />
evening course this Fall by the Shore Regional<br />
Health’s Center for Integrative Medicine<br />
in Easton. Course participants will<br />
learn how to cope with health issues and find<br />
peace of mind by working with the same<br />
stresses and pains that are the source of their<br />
discomfort. <strong>The</strong> course includes meditation,<br />
body awareness and gentle stretching<br />
(movement will be adapted to accommodate<br />
those with physical limitations).<br />
<strong>The</strong> MBSR course instructor is Larissa<br />
Kitenko, PharmD, clinical pharmacist for<br />
Shore Regional Health, who has taught the<br />
class 13 times in the past eight years and is<br />
skilled at creating a safe, supportive and<br />
deeply engaging learning environment. In<br />
Kitenko’s observation, MBSR is “very beneficial<br />
for people who are struggling with<br />
life’s obligations, pressures or worries, and<br />
also for those experiencing chronic pain or<br />
illness, heart conditions, high blood pressure,<br />
headaches, sleep problems or anxiety.”<br />
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction<br />
will meet Tuesdays, 6:00-8:30pm, September<br />
10-October 29. An all-day (9am-4pm)<br />
class on Saturday, October 19 is also required.<br />
Tuition is $300, and a deferred payment<br />
plan is offered as well as limited<br />
financial assistance for qualified applicants.<br />
continued from page 30<br />
Chronic Pain<br />
not only less pain and dependence on others,<br />
but more vitality or energy, higher activity<br />
levels, improved mental health, and<br />
greater overall satisfaction with life.<br />
“It’s important to note that CPMSP program<br />
is designed to enhance and complement<br />
rather than replace other pain treatment<br />
programs, says Asche. “<strong>The</strong> goal is help<br />
people dealing with pain coordinate and<br />
manage various aspects of their health,<br />
which will enable them to be more active in<br />
their lives.”<br />
Advance registration for the CPMSP is<br />
required due to limited class size. For information<br />
