STRESS - FREE LIVING

Stress is a very common issue in modern daily life. We all have such busy lives, so many responsibilities, so much pressure to contend with. So much of this stress and tension we normally experience comes from our mind, and many of the problems we experience, including ill health, are caused or aggravated by this stress.

In this introductory level three-week class series, learn three simple ways to release the tension and build perspective and peace within your mind. Be guided in breathing meditations and gain confidence to engage in a regular practice of your own. Learn how to work with uncomfortable thoughts and feelings as they arise and regain your power to be at peace whatever occurs. Learn to reframe your relationship with challenging situations so you are no longer in conflict with them and can deal with them most constructively.

This series is open to everyone seeking to take the pressure off and start the autumn term in a peaceful positive way.

Week 1: Just Breathe! (Aug 31)

Week 2: Gaining Perspective (Sept 7)

Week 3: Choosing Peace (Sept 14)

Everyone is warmly welcome

Each class includes 2 guided meditations, a practical teaching, and time for questions. Meditation is done seated in chairs with the option to sit on a mat and cushion if you prefer.
