Description
Join us on Tuesday evenings for an hour dedicated to finding happiness within.
Happy New You!
We often make New Year resolutions, but they often don’t last long. We’ve all been there! But why do we make them? Usually, it’s because we are looking to change things we don’t like or which we want it improve, or because we want to free ourselves from things, habits, people or places which may be a cause of unhappiness in our lives. We may simply have a wonderful dream or goal we have always wanted to achieve.
However, happiness and suffering are states of mind, and so their main causes are not to be found outside the mind regardless of how we try to control or change the world around us. Whilst these changes can help temporarily, if we want true lasting happiness and to be free from our problems, we must learn how to control our mind.
In this series of classes, we will discover how by training our mind in meditation and becoming familiar with positive states of mind we can make deep and lasting inner changes which will lead us to the happiness and contentment we all seek, regardless of our external circumstances, the difficulties we face or the hardships we experience. We will begin to appreciate true happiness is found in the mind not “out there”.
Join us for these easy-to-understand teachings and learn practical meditations we can all use in our daily life to create a “Happy New You” which can stay with you through all challenges we face.
The classes are offered in-person on Tuesday evenings (6.30pm-7.30pm) at Middle Street Resource Centre, 74 Middle Street, Beeston NG9 2AR.
