THE GATEWAY TO PEACE

“A unique meditation and Self-Esteem process, to transform your life.”

2 day workshop

1ST & 2ND July

CPD points (for psychologists) – 12

There is a great Peace waiting to emerge inside of you. Let go of the wanting it too badly…and the peace that you are will arise.

To relax the grasping toward Peace and allowing everything to be as it is paradoxically – and unexpectedly – allows your true nature to come forth, for your true nature does not grasp. It is simply who you are and it allows everything to be as it is.

IMAGINE WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE TO LIVE A LIFE WHERE:

You get extraordinary and practical value from your meditation experience.

You get to truly experience the ‘peace that passeth all understanding.’

The energy of your meditative practice extends into every area of your life.

You discover what it feels like to love yourself for no reason.

You are less of a victim of your fears and anxieties and the incessant movements of mind.

Your ability to tolerate & transcend emotional and physical pain is increased.

You have a pragmatic method for experiencing the vitality and openness that perhaps you once knew as a child.

In the last 8 years, two things have transformed my life and the lives of my clients more than anything I have encountered in the last 34 years as a clinical psychologist.

Adyashanti’s True Meditation technique, my Loving yourself for no reason, Self-Esteem model.

In this 2 day workshop you will:

Engage with the theory and practice of these two approaches.

LEARN TO MEDITATE IN A COMPLETELY UNIQUE WAY.

Most meditative techniques involve watching the breath, watching the mind, repeating a mantra or visualizing relaxing images, all with the objective of achieving something: trying to slow down the mind, achieve stillness, or calmness.

Nothing wrong with that, but for me the benefits of doing this were limited to the time when I was meditating. It didn’t generalize to the rest of my life.

For over 20 years I practiced transcendental meditation, Hindu and Buddhist meditations and Anna Wise’s meditation technique.

I was exasperated.

Why I asked myself was the impact that these methods upon me and in my life, so limited ‘off the meditation cushion’?

And then 8 years ago, I got the answer.

I chanced upon Adyashanti’s True Meditation technique through reading an interview with him in a magazine.

And what a revelation!The technique starts with: “Just sitting, doing nothing!” Revolutionary and surprising, yes?

No longer trying to slow down or stop the mind, achieve greater peace or enlightenment, enables Peace and Stillness to spontaneously emerge.

I found that I was able to access a deep meditative energy, many times a day – whilst working and interacting with others, not just sitting meditating – and that energy has deepened and deepened over the years.

It enabled me to bring a Stillness and a tranquility to my life and my work and truly opened up a deep spiritual connection that has enabled me to sit

with and dissolve many of life’s challenges and stresses in a deeply fulfilling way.

LOVING YOURSELF FOR NO REASON

The psychology behind this Self-Esteem process is about learning to transcend self-judgement, which coupled with the meditation work, enables a discovering that one is love.

The two approaches combined, enable a Gateway into Peace to re-vitalize and give you a new perspective on life and your interactions with others.

When we love ourselves without reason, the unself-conscious love and power that we were before we learned the difference between right and wrong, success and failure – as children – is recoverable, energising and transforming.

There are two forms of Self-Esteem. Original and Acquired. Most kids live in the former – which is where you feel great before approval or success. The latter is where most adults are, feeling worthwhile when they are approved of, or succeed.

There’s some incredible research that supports precisely what I’m talking about. In a long-term study of school kids, it was found that at 6 years of age, 82% of them had high levels of confidence when it came to learning new things. By the age 16 this had dropped to 18%!

We have literally had Original Self – Esteem beaten out of us!

There are specific techniques for learning this method which I will share with you in the workshop, combined with the meditative process.

This workshop is appropriate for beginner and experienced meditators.
