Meditate in Harrogate
Tuesdays | 7pm – 8.15pm | The Friends Meeting House HG1 5PP
Love Changes Everything | July 7th, 14th, 21st | with Margaret Hoyle
When our mind has the nature of love we naturally feel happy and peaceful. With such a state of mind it is impossible to become disturbed or depressed or to develop anger or jealousy.
How can we start to develop this mind towards all living beings? What are the obstacles that get in our way, and how can we overcome them?
This 3-week course we will introduce meditation techniques and special ways of thinking taught by Buddha that help us to start letting go of persistent negative minds and enable us to genuinely appreciate others.
Everybody is welcome.
