One sentence summary: These are a series of 14 deep-dive meditation sessions to understand & transform stress, anxiety & difficult emotions, re-directing them for positive use.
Overview: Stress, anxiety, fear, anger, attachment – ordinarily we see these states as negative; things that get in the way of our happiness & wellbeing, preventing us from achieving the goals & quality of life that we want.
But what if there was a way in which we could learn to work with difficult & chaotic energies in such a way that we could transform them, recreating them as sources of positive empowerment that help us to accomplish our goals and awaken to a new level of fulfillment?
This deep-dive series is exactly that; guided meditation on you how you can transform your stress, anxiety & other difficult emotions into forces for good in your life, using clearly defined methods. The sessions provide a practical, experiential dive into stress-transformation practices & meditations.
The course is based around four essential mindful ‘stress transformation positions’ that can be applied to all forms of stress & challenging emotion.
The techniques in these sessions draw upon include:
- Traditional awareness & insight practice based on Buddhist & other Eastern approaches
- More contemporary western mindfulness techniques from the emotional intelligence, shadow, cognitive & existential schools
- Tantric & Tibetan Lojong principles of energy transformation
Results You Can Expect:
You will learn how to:
- Get to know and understand the negative energy & emotion in your life more deeply and intimately, seeing its potential value
- Develop the capacity to recycle, transform & redirect this difficult energy into a positive force that works for you rather than against you
- Find yourself thriving in situations and circumstances that would previously make you unhappy, fearful, inhibited and so on…
- Open to a whole new more enlightened level of mental resilience, inner wellbeing and wisdom
