Anxiety and stress are endemic in our busy, fast paced life. We tend to think that situations or people in our life are the causes of our stress 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 unhappiness, including anxiety, 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 worry and unhappy thoughts, we can begin to understand how to become free from them.
In this workshop you will:
- understand where your anxiety comes from;
- receive practical advice for how to think in ways that prevent anxiety from arising in your mind; and
- be guided in meditations that you can do yourself to pacify your mind and develop the inner peace that everyone longs for.
