Patients Will Learn To:  
Tune into their breath to calm themselves  
Develop skills for managing pain  
Better understand their medical condition  
Assume more responsibility for their health  
Gain a new perspective on healing  
     
The Goal Is:  
Greater levels of health, well being and a more vital sense of control and participation in life  
Improvement resulting from a determined commitment to the gentle, sustained, daily practices that you will be taught.
