September Classes – Stop Right There!
Practical meditations to keep our mind in check
If we could choose, how many feelings that we had today would we choose to have again tomorrow? Probably not too many. It feels like we don’t have much choice about it. Our mind seems to have a mind of its own. And our mind can be a bit temperamental to say the least.
But with a few practical meditations we can start to put ourselves back in control, put a check on unwanted thoughts and uninvited feelings and maybe get through our days happier, less stressed and more fulfilled.
Sep 11: Get hold of that anger – before it gets hold of you
Sep 18: Pick yourself up -– before you put yourself down
Sep 25: Starting to stress? – don’t just do something, sit there
Oct Classes – Become the person you would like to meet
When we constantly think self vs other we pit ourselves against the world – and that makes it hard. We think it is human nature but it is not – it’s just the universal bad habit that gives rise to so much discontent in our personal lives and our world.
By using meditation to uproot the real cause of our own unhappiness we become of greater value to others, especially those we love and care about.
Oct 3: What hold our happiness back – self-cherishing, the great deceiver
Oct 10: It’s not love actually – attachment vs love, opposites not equals
Oct 17: Because they are worth it – others’ happiness matters
Oct 24: Turn on your love light – the power of wishing love
