As health pract itioners and therapists we are uniquely placed to integrate the latest com plementary medicine into a scientific approach to wellness.\n\nMindfulness based stress reduction (MBSR) is a well-researched modality that is of gr eat aid to our patients struggling with chronic pain and anxiety. It has b een shown to be of benefit for everything from HIV progression\, breast ca ncer\, heart disease and fibromyalgia\, to name a few. The pioneer of this approach is Jon Kabat-Zinn who has developed professional programs for ap plying meditation principles in a medical research-based approach to chron ic conditions (1\,2).\n\nVidyamala Burch (3) has furthered his work focusi ng on chronic pain and stress management through mindfulness and runs a su ccessful intervention program called breathworks (she herself has chronic unrelenting back pain for the past 20 years and draws extensively from her own experience).\n\nLet us break down what we mean by the quote above. Pa ying attention is the focus of awareness on breath\, body sensation or pai n as examples. The particular way and purpose is to create a relationship to the object of mindfulness meditation\, in the case of a chronic pain pa tient we are asking them to be with their pain or be curious about their p ain rather than fighting against it. The present moment is our anchor poin t\; many patients are filled with fear of future pain or disability or are ruminating about the past when they were pain-free. The crux of mindfulne ss based stress reduction is to do all of this non-judgmentally\; we are t eaching our patients a valuable tool for living with their pain and giving it space in their lives.\n\nMindfulness is about empowering our patients to work with their stress\, pain and life in a way that fosters a relation ship to their lives as it is. Mindfulness is no quick fix but even just an introduction to mindful breathing and somatic integration can have lastin g effects on your clients’ neurophysiology. There is much promising res earch that even interventions done over a short period will help. The basi cs of the practice are mindfulness of breath\, body sensations (or body sc an)\, mindful movement/yoga. With most body-mind therapies the first acces s point is the breath – rooted always in the present moment and providin g easy access to our autonomic nervous system and able to influence the hy pothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis.\n\nMindful medicine will also foc us on practitioner presence and its valuable effect on treatment. There wi ll be instruction on how to work on your own internal state as a therapist to become a biological fulcrum that your clients can orient with during t reatment.\n\nTopics Covered:\nDay 1\n• Integral approach to wellness\n • What does the research say\n• Mindful breath (practical)\n• Tow ards mindful medicine – old/new paradigms\n• Inner smile (practical)\ n• Epigenetics\n• Body scan and dialogue (practical)\n• Pain and the body\n• Somatic integration (practical)\n• Fascia and interocept ion\n• Letting go into posture (practical)\n\nDay 2:\n• Awakening th e mover (practical)\n• Practitioner presence\n• Practitioner presenc e (practical)\n• Leading through presence (practical)\n• Therapeutic applications\n• Making up a practice (practical)\n• Mindful movemen t (practical)\n• Scope of practice\, ethics and referral\n• Full emb odiment sequence (practical)\nA cd with 9 guided exercises in mp4 format a s well as written out transcripts  are given at the end of the course\, t o use with your clients.\n\n[/spoiler]\n\n[spoiler title='How to book for this course?']\nHow To Book This Course:\n• Step 1: Create an account\; register your details here or click on the 'My Profile' button on the top menu: we need your details in order to reserve your seat and email you the preliminary materials for the course - ps\; please note that registering your details does not book you onto the course - you need to follow step 2 below.\n\n• Step 2: Book your place\; Once you have registered your det ails\, come back to this DN webpage to submit your booking below and choos e your payment method\; to book\, click on the Submit button below.\n\n• Step 3: Choose and make your payment method below\; Payment by Bank Trans fer: If you wish to pay via a bank transfer\, simply follow the payment de tails on the proforma invoice that has been emailed to you now that you ha ve made your booking.
