CREATE INNER PEACE
Imagine taking control of your own happiness without needing to rely on everything around us. Why is this so important? Because when we don't get what we want, we can feel let down. In these classes, you will learn how to create your own inner peace, and this will give you the power to take control of your mind, rather than letting it control you. Pretty good, right?

To do this, we first learn to create an inner space within - And then through learning how to understand our mind, we develop the wisdom to connect within. At this point, we can generate minds of happiness ourselves. Of course, it takes time, but with the correct guidance, you can achieve it.

So, why not come and try - even if you have no idea how to meditate, this class is FOR EVERYONE!

Distinguishing between pure love and attachment is a very important step to increasing the power and strength of our love.
We will look at the disadvantages of attachment and the advantages of pure cherishing love.
Also we will look at the difference between self-cherishing and self-confidence and self-respect.

The main goal of this class is so we can begin to:

*clearly identify the states of mind that cause us suffering and begin to weaken them in our mind
*Identify positive, beneficial states of mind and increase their power, within our daily lives
*through continual meditation and contemplation on virtuous or positive states of mind, in this way we can transform our lives completely from the inside out
