Pontefract – Wednesday Evenings | 7.30 – 8.45pm
Breaking Bad Habits | 7.30 – 8.45pm | January 15th, 22nd & 29th with Nigel Woolsey
We all have habits we want to break – ways of thinking and behaving that cause problems.
Buddha taught that all our negative states of mind are just bad mental habits, and like all habits they can be broken. Just as it is possible to separate mud from water, so it is possible to eliminate all our unhelpful habits from our mind.
On this short course we will learn meditations that help us to recognize and replace even our most stubborn habits with profoundly beneficial ways of thinking that lead to peace and inner freedom..
This course is suitable for everyone, from complete beginners to experienced meditators.
Everybody Welcome!
The Power of Meditation | 7.30 – 8.45pm | February 5th, 12th, 19th & 26th | with Nigel Woolsey
The purpose of meditation is to make our mind calm and peaceful. If our mind is peaceful we will be free from worries and mental discomfort, and eventually we will be able to stay calm and positive in any situation.
This four-week course will introduce techniques for developing a successful meditation practice that can transform our daily life. By doing this we will gradually develop the power to transform any difficult situation into an opportunity for spiritual growth.
This course is suitable for everyone, from complete beginners to experienced meditators.
