Change Your Mind, Change Your World
Sometimes it might feel as if elements of our life are out of control. We can be overwhelmed by our circumstances, feeling that there’s nothing we can do to change a situation, or feel we are constantly chasing perfection. We all have the experience of how our state of mind affects the way we perceive and experience the world. In fact our mind is the most powerful force in our world and by learning to change the way we view ourself, others and the world around us, we can transform every situation into a meaningful opportunity for spiritual growth and positivity.
During this course we will discover the power of meditations on acceptance, love, compassion and wisdom to positively transform our lives. In this way through changing our mind, we can change our world and be of real benefit to our family, friends and others.
Gradually we will be able to keep a balanced and calm mind, no matter what is happening externally.
“Where is there enough leather
To cover the surface of the Earth?
But just having leather on the soles of one’s feet
Is the same as covering the whole Earth.
In the same way, it is not possible
To control all external events;
But, if I simply control my mind,
What need is there to control other things?”
Shantideva – AD 687-763
