Improving Confidence

Wednesdays 7pm – 8.30pm

Improving Confidence

How wonderful if we could carry a quiet confidence within us throughout our life.

We can have a clear understanding of our good qualities, our potential and our abilities whilst having faith in being able to rely on the teachings to lead us to improve ourseves. We can then hold this self-confidence no matter what problems and difficulties we may face in life. We can overcome self doubt, anxieties, or limited self-views we hold, when we understand our true nature and the potential we have for growth and development and our ability to face difficulties with courage and wisdom.

In these classes we will explore what it means to develop a wise confidence and how we can train our mind to overcome any obstacles and difficulties a lack of confidence in ourselves may cause.

These classes are suitable for everyone, and no previous experience is needed. Each class is self-contained. Come along to as many as you like. Everyone is welcome.

Overcoming Mental Busyness

Wednesdays 7pm – 8.30pm

July 2, 9

Overcoming Mental Busyness

Busy, busy, busy…. why is our mind always so busy? Even when we have time away from the daily grind our minds are so often filled with busy thoughts about everything and it can seem like they will never stop coming.

This short series of classes will take a dive into where our thoughts come from, where they go, and why they arise. With some understanding of our mind, we can learn how to engage with our thoughts in a helpful way that calms and quietens our mind. When our mind is peaceful, we will naturally feel happy and contented.

By engaging with our busy mind in a positive way rather than trying to “shut it up”, we can welcome thoughts, see them in a realistic manner and gently let them go. This gives us the space in our mind to deal with life calmly and frees us from the stress and anxiety of that busy mind!

These classes are suitable for everyone, and no previous experience is needed. Each class is self-contained. Come along to as many as you like. Everyone is welcome.
