For cancer patients, family & friends: Change the way you handle stress, anxiety, fear and even pain

In mindfulness meditation, we bring our attention to the present moment without trying to change our experience. Grounded in the body, mindfulness meditation has proven to be a powerful tool for enhancing health and well-being, as well as reducing stress and cultivating insight and clarity. Some people even find better ways to manage pain. All different kinds of people have been shown to benefit from mindfulness meditation, and many have found paths to greater happiness.
