Meditations for Building Emotional Resilience
Meditation classes for developing peace & positivity with Buddhist Teacher Nicola Reekie in Canterbury
It is no secret that life can be challenging, with unexpected problems and unavoidable difficulties often leaving us feeling overwhelmed. To thrive amidst these adversities, we need the personal and mental ability to adapt and cope with stress. Imagine having the inner strength and emotional resilience to bounce back from whatever life throws at you.
Whether facing challenges in your personal life, family, or workplace, imagine feeling empowered rather than stuck. The good news is that this is possible for each of us. We can become stronger, more flexible, and more confident than we ever thought possible.
So how do we achieve this? In this series of classes, you will learn to cultivate inner strength through training your mind correctly. Discover new ways of thinking and relating to challenges, allowing you to not only cope but thrive.
Classes last for an for 45 mins to time after for an informal discussion with the teacher over a cup of tea. They are suitable for complete beginners and those with more experience of meditation. Light refreshments will be served before or after the class.
About the course: this four seven course aim to teach effective, meditation-based solutions to everyday problems taken from the Kadampa Buddhist tradition. These classes can be attended on a drop-in basis, as each class is self-contained.
