Balancing our Mind and Emotions
Through practicing meditation, we learn to develop and hold positive and peaceful states of mind even in the most difficult situations. Since good mental health comes from positive states of mind, meditation has great power to improve our mental health.
Everyone can learn the methods that free us from negative emotions, making joy, happiness and meaning our everyday reality. Come to any class you like or sign-up for the entire series!
Sep 14 ~ MEDITATION, HAPPINESS & MENTAL HEALTH
Meditation makes our mind calm and peaceful. When we are peaceful, our mind is positive and free from worries and other mental discomfort.
