Emotion and Meditation !
Sunday 21st October 2pm – 5.30pm
St Luke’s Home, Blackrock. Cork.
Cost : E10
Just because you think it or feel it doesn’t make it true!
“Thinking is the natural activity of the mind. Meditation is not about stopping your thoughts/emotions Meditation is simply a process of resting the mind in its natural state, which is open to and naturally aware of thoughts, emotions and sensations as they occur”
Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche
In meditation there are many approaches we can use to working with Emotion. First, through observing and our mind in an open, allowing way, we get to know our emotions and can see clearly that emotion isn’t solid. We don’t have to be scared of them or enamoured by them and we definitely don’t have to believe them to be true! We have no freedom when we slavishly follow emotion , believing it to be true and getting all worked up. In this way we loose our peace of mind, our equilibrium. When we deeply know this in every cell of our body we can experience true peace of mind.
This afternoon’s session will be based primarily on practice with some supporting material.
The afternoon will include a guided loving kindness practice as well as a tea break!Everyone is welcome
No need to book!
