Behind all our endeavors lies the desire to be happy, to feel content, relaxed, and at ease. No one wants to be in pain or to suffer unnecessarily. This is our true bottom line. Why then, are we so seldom at peace?
How often do you find yourself worried, anxious, or frustrated, thinking “if only I get through this next event or problem, then I will be able to finally relax!”? But why do the problems never end and the pattern seems to repeat again and again?
We have many responsibilities, our days are busy and hectic, to-do lists are getting longer. But do we really have to live in a state of stress and worry in order to accomplish everything?
Throughout history, there have been those who’ve discovered a timeless truth about human consciousness: our Natural Mind — our true Self — is where peace and contentment arise naturally and effortlessly. We don’t need to do or get anything to find peace of mind. It is just a matter of learning how to return to our true Self. The beauty of this approach is that nothing needs to be changed or eliminated. It is simply relaxing back into our natural state of Effortless Being.
Through guided meditations and exercises, you will learn to discover the joy of living free from worry and stress and find an inner freedom, and peace of mind that is not dependent on events and circumstances of your life. An inner freedom and peace that we can return to again and again.
