This is an online meditation course, consisting of a weekly 15minute meditation recording, plus reading materials that will be sent to participants each week.
Start date: The first session will be sent out on Monday September 7th & finishing 7th December, with one session being sent out each week.
One sentence summary: Learn how to understand & make use of stress, anxiety & difficult emotions, re-directing them through mindfulness & meditation practice.
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?
These short, weekly online meditations will help you do exactly that; transform your stress, anxiety & other difficult emotions into forces for good in your life, using clearly defined mindfulness practices. The guided meditations will give you an experiential dive into the art of stress-transformation.
The techniques drawn upon in these sessions include:
- Traditional awareness & insight practice based on Buddhist & other Eastern approaches
- Contemporary western mindfulness techniques from the emotional intelligence, shadow, cognitive & existential schools of psychology
- Tantric & Tibetan Lojong principles of energy transformation
