Dealing with Difficult Feelings

WEDNESDAYS
May 8 - 29
12:00 - 1:00 PM

Painful emotions such as stress, anxiety, depression and loneliness cause us much unhappiness and stop us from being able to truly enjoy our life. This series will let us investigate these painful feelings and learn the simple techniques employed in Buddhist meditation and mindfulness to let go of negative emotions, past pain and bad habits, and to cultivate positive states of mind. Through applying these instructions to our daily life, we can all learn to live a happier and more fulfilling life.

In this series, we will focus on how to deal with a particular painful emotion, learning practical methods to reduce its hold on us and in this way allowing us to experience a deep and satisfying emotional freedom. As our delusions diminish, we draw closer to the person we wish to be, a joyful, confident and loving person.

Please arrive 5 to 10 minutes before class to sign in and get settled. No Buddhist background or previous meditation experience required. You may drop-in any week or attend the entire series!
