Finding Emotional Freedom - 3 week course
Online Talks and Guided Meditations with KMC Kent Resident Teacher James Baskerville
(Video Catch-up available for 7 days)
When we feel trapped by our circumstances or difficult life circumstances it is easy to feel powerless and emotionally turbulent. We can at times be overwhelmed by feelings of resentfulness, anxiety and worry.
In this 3 week program we will look deeper into the inner problem of confused desire or the ‘delusion’ of desirous attachement. We will explore how it is possible to develop the wisdom that leads to a lasting contentment and deeper levels of inner peace.
This program will be led as a Zoom webinar with extra 20 mins discussion after the class. If you wish you can opt into the WhatsApp group and receive daily encouragement and support with your meditations and mindfulness training from senior practitioners and fellow meditators.
The instructions and practices of this series will be taken from ‘How to Solve your Human Problems’ by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.
