Freedom from the Shadows of the Past - Netherlands

Who amongst us has not been overwhelmed by the emotions and sensations of our own mind? Sometime these experiences are fleeting, sometimes they seem far more entrenched and intractable a part of the essence of who we are as a person that we may not realize we can change them.

Freedom from the Shadows of the Past is an opportunity to learn tools and skills so that transformational change can occur. Tools that set us free from patterns of the mind that prevent us from living our lives to the fullest.

Mindfulness - Akld, New Zealand

Next course begins Monday 30th October, 2017

Mindfulness is the practice of kindly paying attention to the present-moment, on purpose, without judgment.

This gentle present-focused pracrice positions us in time and space to focus on whatever arises in the moment without contamination of the past or the future. We are able to free ourselves from old ways of thinking and feeling and harness the natural capacities of our brain for self-correction and transformation.

Mindfulness training will help you to improve: resilience, physical health, stability of attention, emotional regulation and insightfulness. It will also give you an opportunity to experience a calmer inner world with a greater sense of well-being.

The issue is not about what’s wrong with you, but what happened to you that got you to this place!

Breath out, drop your shoulders, shake out your arms and hands, letting-go of trying so hard to change it or fix it or work it out. Placing the hand of kindness on your chest and noticing what its like to experience the comfort of kindness.
