How meditation can help us overcome overthinking and find inner peace
Do you ever find yourself going over the same situation again and again, worrying about what might happen, or replaying conversations long after they have finished?
Sometimes our biggest source of stress isn’t what is happening around us, but what is happening inside our own mind.
In this series of classes, we will explore how meditation and Buddhist wisdom can help us understand the habit of overthinking and learn to relate to our thoughts in a more peaceful and positive way. Rather than trying to control every thought or solve every problem, we can learn practical ways to let go of unhelpful thinking and develop a calmer, clearer mind.
Through guided meditations, practical teachings and contemplation, we will discover how genuine inner peace is something we can cultivate from within. As our mind becomes more peaceful, we become less overwhelmed by uncertainty, more resilient when things don’t go as planned, and better able to respond to life with wisdom and compassion.
1) How to find peace when your thoughts keep spinning
2) How to find peace with uncertainty
3) How to break free from unhelpful thoughts
4) How to keep your peace in difficult situations
5) How to stop holding on to what makes us unhappy
6) Finding an inner source of strength and stability
7) How to develop a mind that can remain peaceful
You don’t need to be experienced in meditation. Everyone is welcome.
Come and discover how to give your mind a break — and learn how to create a deeper sense of peace from within.
Each class stands on its own, so feel free to drop in anytime. We recommend attending the full series if you can, but you’re always welcome to join individual sessions. Suitable for complete beginners and experienced meditators.
Sessions last for an hour. Light refreshments will be served before or after the class.
