How to Meditate like a Buddhist

Description

Do you ever feel anxious, disconnected, or overwhelmed, like you're constantly running from one thing to the next? In the modern world, with so many activities and responsibilities, each completed task often opens up new obligations, leaving little time for anything else. For many, this persistent lack of silence, space, or personal time can lead to a life filled with stress, worry, or even resentment.

There are, of course, periods of stress in everyone's lives from time to time; but when stress becomes chronic and "normal," we can easily get to the place where it seems like life is running us rather than the other way around. The result can be a drain on our health and vitality, a lack of time and attention with the people we love the most (including ourselves!), and a cloud that hangs over our lives and obscures our perception of reality.

If you have felt any or all of this, let me start by telling you that I've been there, too. Years ago, my stress and anxiety were so bad they used to wake me up in the middle of the night, my mind racing with all the things I had to do each day and imagining the worst-case scenarios for all of them. Sometimes it felt like my tongue was swelling up in my mouth and I couldn't breathe. I thought something was wrong with me. After all, I had tried everything I could think of to "fix" what wasn't working in my life, I tried changing myself, my work, and my relationships; but no matter what I changed, my sense of being overwhelmed stayed constant. It was during this time I was introduced to Buddhist meditation and my world completely shifted. I started experiencing less anxiety, worry and overwhelm. I was sleeping better through the night and changing my relationship to myself and others. The impact on me was so profound that I read, studied, and went out and became a certified meditation and mindfulness instructor. No religion or spiritual movement is more known for its association with meditation than Buddhism. How to Meditate like a Buddhist demystifies this ancient practice and gently teaches you everything you need to know about building a meditation practice that works for you. Informed by my own journey and professional training, I have distilled the fundamentals of Buddhist meditation in a clear, instructive guide.

In this course you'll learn to:

• meditate

• make meditation a regular practice

• release stress, anxiety, and overwhelm

• change your relationship to unhelpful thoughts and emotions

• rediscover the quiet stillness inside of you

• experience greater peace, tranquility, and connection with yourself and others
