Halve dagcursus: Bevrijd Jezelf van Negatieve Gedachten en Beperkende Overtuigingen

Zaterdag – 19 december | 14:00 – 17:00h 

Halve dagcursus: Bevrijd Jezelf van Negatieve Gedachten en Beperkende Overtuigingen – met Gen Kelsang Dragpa

We kunnen leren onze negatieve gedachten tijdelijk te overwinnen, allereerst door middel van ademhalingsmeditatie – een zeer krachtig hulpmiddel om een ​​vredige geest te ervaren. Vanuit die ervaring kunnen we vervolgens inzien dat onze geest van nature vredig is – als een heldere blauwe lucht – en dat negatieve gedachten en beperkende overtuigingen slechts tijdelijke ‘wolken’ in de geest zijn.

Door via contemplatie en meditatie te leren afstand te nemen van deze niet contructieve mentale toestanden, kunnen we ze zachtjes aan loslaten.

In plaats van moeilijke gevoelens te onderdrukken of onszelf ervan af te leiden – wat ze vaak alleen maar in stand houdt – kunnen we leren ze zonder angst of weerstand te erkennen. Door ze met geduld en mededogen te aanvaarden, beginnen we te ontspannen en laten we ze op natuurlijke wijze voorbijtrekken.

Naarmate onze geest tot rust komt, ontdekken we dat er onder onze wisselende gedachten en emoties een diepere bron van vrede, helderheid en welzijn ligt. In de boeddhistische beoefening leren we ons te identificeren met dit innerlijke potentieel voor blijvende vrede, dat altijd in ons aanwezig is.

Iedereen is welkom. Geschikt voor elk ervaringsniveau.

Let op: deze les wordt gegeven in het Nederlands
