Stress Reduction Through Mindfulness Program
An eight week Stress Reduction Through Mindfulness program is currently being offered to McMaster medical school students as part of their self-care program. We meet for two hours each week and each session is focused on developing skills of being present and attentive. Participants are invited to learn the skills of 'paying attention' and awareness then translate that learning to the challenging and sometime unsettling environment of medical training.
MBSR Training with Jon Kabat-Zinn & Saki Santorelli
In the month of June, 2011, I participated in a week long residential training retreat in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction in Mind-Body Medicine conducted by Jon Kabat-Zinn and Saki Santorelli of University of Massachusetts. In a nutshell, it was an amazing experience to be part of this retreat. What I really enjoyed the most in this training retreat was its practical aspect.
I hope to synthesize that learning and experiences into my forthcoming programs and academic teaching. If you are interested in experiencing the benefits of mindfulness in day to day living, please join me in the future programs.
Harnessing Mindfulness Good Morning Parmjit I apologize for taking so long in contacting you. I wanted to let you know that the evaluations sheets we handed out after you did the session for our Divisional Day (way back in October) were all excellent. Every single staff person who attended your session was very pleased with it. They all found it very relaxing and said that they would enjoy a further session and recommend you to other departments who were having a department day similar to the one you presented your session at.
Also, I should mention that you may in the very near future hear from one of my co-workers asking you to do a session for our individual team. She is working on the logistics with our manager to see what we can do about having you come to one of our meetings.
Once again, I want to thank you for the wonderful session you did for us and wish you the best in 2009.

Sport Psychology Off the Field The world of sport psychology may be able to help you on the job.
Just as an athlete might mentally prepare for a sports event, so you can rehearse in advance what you're going to say to someone and how to say it, as well as anticipate questions that might come up and how to answer them. Athletes use visualization like this to reduce stress, build confidence, and ultimately get a better performance.
