How to really Relax - know your mind
with Kadam Birgit

On the surface of a stormy ocean, there are waves and there can be a lot of turbulence.
But the deeper we go below the surface, the more still waters become regardless of the weather at the surface.

By looking within our own mind, we can find similar stillness and refuge from the stress and chaos of our modern life and learn to really relax.

We’ll set off on a gentle voyage of exploration of our mind, developing our understanding of the way in which our mind is the source of our awareness, how thoughts and feelings arise from but always dissolve back into our minds.

We will become more familiar with the deep and profound sense of clarity and peace that arises when our minds are still and undistracted, and which discover our inner potential for peace, happiness and real relaxation.

During this course we will learn and practise meditations that will help us to experience mental clarity and inner peace by meditating of our mind.
We will explore how meditating on our own mind offers us the ability to let go of stress and worry by enabling us to get a clearer, more dispassionate view of our own thoughts and feelings.
