Special Visiting Teacher Saturday Meditation Event

Living Life Lightly

Life can be so serious at times, and we become embroiled in the day-to-day trudge of life, carrying our problems around with us like heavy bags weighing us down. And indeed, life can be full of hardships and difficulties but there is an alternative way to approach these problems and to live a life which is lighter, more joyful and peaceful.

On this day course we will explore the role of our mind in creating the experience of being bogged-down in the everyday problems we face, why we try to control our life to be a certain way or for the desired outcomes of our wishes to come true. We will also learn how taking ourselves too seriously combined with trying to control our external conditions and experiences can actually creates the very problems we are trying to avoid.

With this knowledge we will begin to unravel the heaviness in our life, understand the true nature of our problems and to work with them in a positive and productive way, unburdening us from our load, moving towards a live lived lightly and contented.
