Stress Free Living - Drop In Meditation Class

Stress-Free Living
with resident teacher Birgit Saunders

When things are out of balance or don’t go the way we want them to; when we seem to be running to stand still, or when the light at the end of the tunnel seems unreachably distant, we often end up feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or just plain hacked off.

“It’s NOT FAIR!” shouts the inner child in our head stamping their foot.

We all know that stressing out about things just makes them worse.

And yet we get sucked into the crises and pressures we are facing, problems steal our time, energy and good humour.

The good news is that Buddha specialised in overcoming adversity and negative emotions.

He recognised that our stress does not actually come from the external situation, but rather from our response to it: Stress comes from our mind.

He also taught methods for ‘dropping out’ of a stressed mind and into a clear and peaceful one.
In this four-week series we explore ways we can learn to respond to problems, so that we remain more centred, flexible and effective.
