Using Mindfulness to Cope with Cancer Jun 14, 2023 | By Amy Kuth, Patient Educator (@amykuth)Comment receiving replies
Thank you for providing this helpful information. I am not a Mayo patient, NET diagnosed cancer last October, but would like to incorporate a mindfulness class to add to my yoga practice. I live in small Calif area so virtual class would be great. Any suggestions?

@dbamos1945 Thank you for your comment and I'm glad to hear this was helpful. There are a wide variety of ways to learn about and explore mindfulness. A simple google search for virtual mindfulness classes, such as the one suggested by @gingerw, is one approach to take (thank you Ginger!). Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction and Mindfulness Based Cancer Recovery are two highly researched and well-known programs that have a step by step and comprehensive approach to learning mindfulness and they have programs online. Or a simpler approach may be to explore mindfulness and meditation apps such as Insight Timer, Calm, Headspace (just to name a few). I would encourage you to choose the approach that feels right for you.

@dbamos1945 I put Virtual mindfulness into the search bar and came up with this example.

Would you like to give it a try and let me know what you think?
