STOP MENTAL PAIN AND PROBLEMS

Have you ever wondered why it’s so easy to feel mental pain? Why the world and our own life are filled with problems?
Difficulties in life can impact our mental health, emotional well-being, and resilience, leading to feelings of anxiety, overwhelm, insecurity, and depression even in the most resilient individuals.
In this series of meditation classes, we will explore how genuine mental health goes beyond simply the absence of negative emotions like anxiety and depression.
