Find inner peace, improve your relationships and make friends with your mind
As the name suggests, Making Friends with Your Mind focuses on accepting the constant chatter and creating a positive mental environment. We look at ways to access inner peace whenever you need it.
This course can help you rebuild relationships and repair those that may have suffered. Negative chatter and self criticism can be replaced by peace, acceptance and clarity. You’ll be able to look at situations and your thoughts towards them objectively.
You can learn a huge amount about the nature of the mind and your thoughts through meditation. A better knowledge of your mind can help you in situations where negative emotions and chatter may otherwise have taken over.
Trying (and failing!) to sleep while your mind whirs away with thoughts and worries is a common occurrence, but this course can help you access a mental space that goes hand in hand with a great night’s sleep.
Finally, this course will improve your self worth. Humans can be exceptionally cruel, both to themselves and others, but this course will help you to see negative self talk for what it really is. We’ll learn to see damaging thoughts objectively, leading to improved self worth and confidence.
Have you ever been troubled by your own thoughts, finding them worrisome or distressing?
This course will help you get your mind to a place of peace and prosperity when your thoughts are being too noisy and intrusive.

By the end of the course, you’ll have a great understanding of how to relate to your thoughts in a skillful and healthy manner, as opposed to listening to self-criticism and inner turmoil.

This course examines the relationship we have with our thoughts, and helps us look at distractions objectively. It teaches you that restlessness, agitation, fatigue and discomfort are all completely natural and inevitable, even for the most experienced meditators. In this course we’ll help you meet frustrating experiences with acceptance. You’ll discover that contentment and peace is possible, even with everything going on around us.
