Course Description

We all have some undercurrent of fear running through daily life. We may worry about losing our health and mental lucidity; losing others we love; losing our job or reputation. In our daily trance of fear, our mind can spin endless stories about bad things that might happen, and how to avoid them. Often we try to control things by pointing fingers of blame at others or at ourselves. We become, as a meditation teacher once said, a bundle of tense muscles defending our existence. We may not even notice this armor, because it feels like such a familiar part of who we are. It blocks us from living fully and from relating to others with spontaneity, ease and openheartedness. This course shows how every one of us can find reliable inner resources of safety, strength and connection. Drawing on these resources, we can stay present when fear arises and meet the situation bravely, wisely, with interest and care. We learn to respond, rather than react.
By cultivating mindfulness and self-compassion, we are able not only to face the fear; we transform our entire experience of it. We awaken from the trance and touch true peace. We finally live from the wholeness of our beingfrom our full intelligence and love.
Who this course is for:
Anyone who feels plagued by fear or anxietyAnyone struggling with sleeplessness (insomnia)Everyone who wants to feel more connected with themselves and othersAnyone longing to speak and live their truthEveryone who wants to experience greater freedom in life

Time: 3h

Good Match indeed
Taras is a love

By Per Nsstrm on 9/15/2020

Mindfulness feels like a subchapter of this course, I was under the impression I was going to be introduced to it as a concept throughout this, based on the name. However mindfulness by name is barely mentioned here. I'm sure the content as a whole are about the ideas of mindfulness but it generally seems to be about ways to combat anxiety.

By Meg Syfan on 9/12/2020

I related very closely to the description of fear that is not dangerous but created by a thought, and the habit of trying to ignore it or push it away rather than seeing it for what it is.
