If we’re honest, life can be quite challenging. Things don’t always go the way we want them to and people often don’t do what we want them to do. If we are depending upon external situations and others to make us happy, we will often find ourselves quite vulnerable, dealing with great disappointment, discouragement, grief and anger.
How can find and maintain inner strength that is stable and unwavering? How can we find deep inner protection when everything is going wrong around us?
Meditation allows us to access that inner strength. The purpose of meditation is to make the mind peaceful and calm. When our mind is peaceful, we are content, regardless of the external situation.
In this class, we will gain actual experience in connecting with our own limitless potential for inner peace, for clarity, for inner strength.
