When our mind is peaceful, we’re happy, calm and clear. Since we all want to be happy (all the time) and we can’t control all of our external conditions, it’s clear that we all need to learn to practice meditation.

Meditation is simply gaining familiarity with a positive state of mind.

There are so many benefits of meditation — it helps to reduce stress, improve our health and relationships and essentially improve all our good qualities. But how do you meditate? How do we keep a practice going? In this course, you will learn meditation and the Buddhist approach to training the mind. Although this is a beginner course, it is entirely applicable to those with experience.
