From Worrier to Warrior
Dealing with Stress and Worry
Special Course with Gen Kelsang Thekchen
Imagine living without stress and tension – a life free from worry, anxiety, and the many daily problems these negative states of mind create. On this course we will look at how meditation can eliminate stress and help us become more relaxed, peaceful and positive in our daily life. By training in powerful stress-busting techniques derived from ancient Buddhist wisdom, we can learn to face life’s adversities with a happy heart, deal with ‘difficult people’ without getting angry and transform hardships into opportunities for spiritual growth.
