Why eight weeks?!Â
Eight weeks sounds like a commitment. Libba explains why that's actually the point – an app or a weekend retreat won't dislodge habits that have been in place for years, and why the structure of MBSR is specifically designed to fit into a real, full, imperfect life.

About your nervous system and how mindfulness can help
Tim explains that we can spend a lot of life striving/fighting and fleeing from things on autopilot. The awareness that opens up through some mindfulness training really gives us the skills and perspective to choose differently. —Tim Goddard

MBSR is an experiment, YOUR experimentÂ
There is a curriculum but MBSR isn't one-size-fits-all. Tim talks about the program as a series of genuine experiments relevant to your life - where what shifts for you will be different from what shifts for anyone else. And why the group makes that discovery so much richer.
