Breaking Bad Habits | 7 – 8.15pm | January 14th, 21st & 28th with Richard Brown
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!
