WHY MEDITATE?

Happiness is a state of mind, therefore the real source of happiness lies in the mind, not in external situations.  When our mind is peaceful we are free from worries and mental discomfort, and we experience true happiness.

THE BENEFITS

Stress Reduction

Meditation will allow you to relax, refresh and renew your mind, providing you with effective tools for dealing with stress, worry and anxiety.

Inner Calm

If we practice meditation we will experience a calm, spacious feeling in the mind.  Daily challenges will be easier to deal with and many of our usual problems will fall away.

Problem Solving Solutions

Meditation helps us to gain clarity and perspective so we develop a positive outlook on life, gain authentic self-confidence and enjoy better relationships with others.

Learning to Forgive

The ability to forgive is a wonderful quality to have, because it gives us the freedom to let go and move on with our life.  It takes away the pain of anger and resentment, and opens the door to positive states of mind such as love and compassion.

Intro to Buddhist Meditation

Problems only arise because we respond to situations with a negative state of mind.  When we become familiar with cultivating a calm and peaceful mind we begin to understand that it is possible to respond to challenging life situations skillfully.

The Power of Loving Kindness

Buddha’s teachings on loving kindness are very special because true love arises from a profound understanding of our interdependence and interconnection with everyone.  To live a happy life, we must care about the happiness of others, and realize that we all desire a life free of suffering.
