THE SESSIONS
Weekly Formal & Informal Practices

​

This is a session-by-session guide to practices, exercises and resources to complete for the IM2 MBSR program. Each session stands alone as a learning module that addresses specific aspects of stress and overwhelm. The sessions work together to address daily stress as each participant discovers their own way and explores their innate wisdom in navigating the stress experience.
​
*Important: Please don't do mindful practices while driving or during tasks the require your full attention.*
​
**Practice begins at 60%, explores limits, yet never exceed them**
