On this course you will be introduced to the benefits of meditation to overcome stress and anxiety and learn the techniques for developing a calm mind through meditation practice. These techniques allow us to start to be able to control our mind, making it more positive and peaceful. With this ability we grow in both confidence and contentment.
Week 1 - The benefits of meditation
Week 2 - A meditation practice
Week 3 - Overcoming stress and anxiety
Week 4 - Finding an inner calm
Week 5 - Increasing confidence
‘When the turbulence of distracting thoughts subsides and our mind becomes still, a deep happiness and contentment naturally arises from within. This feeling of contentment and well-being helps us to cope with the busyness and difficulties of daily life.
So much of the stress and tension we normally experience comes from our mind, and many of the problems we experience, including ill health, are caused or aggravated by this stress. Just by doing breathing meditation for ten or fifteen minutes each day, we will be able to reduce this stress.
We will experience a calm, spacious feeling in the mind, and many of our usual problems will fall away. Difficult situations will become easier to deal with, we will naturally feel warm and well disposed towards other people, and our relationships with others will gradually improve.’
