ABOUT THIS COURSE

Anxiety, stress and depression are endemic in our busy, fast paced life.

We tend to think that situations or people in our life are the causes of our anxiety or unhappiness, so we then spend a lot of time mentally trying to figure out how to fix those situations or people,  which often just makes our mind busier.

Buddha taught that all our anxiety, unhappiness and stress comes from our mind. More specifically it comes from our unrealistic expectations  and our exaggerated views of ourself, people around us and the world in  general.

By learning to identify the actual causes of anxiety and unhappy  thoughts, we can begin to understand how to become free from them. On this course we will explore special ways of thinking and meditations that heal the mind of the source of these problems.

You will:

  • Learn to identify the causes of anxiety
  • Have methods to deal with the unpleasant feelings
  • Feel more confident and in control of your life

“If everything that arose did so according to its own independent, free choice, sentient beings would never have to experience any suffering, because no one would choose to suffer and everyone would choose to be happy all the time. Clearly there must be another explanation for why we suffer.”
