We Can Heal the Past
A half-day course
Our struggles with mental health all have their roots in the past. We feel ourselves to be trapped in unhappy states and behaviors, and in some cases, traumatized and stuck there, due to situations now long gone. We often see the past as something that definitely has happened - that is locked in - we feel there is nothing we can do about it. Our various coping mechanisms such as our distractions and compulsions, do not solve the underlying problems, and sometimes make things worse, both for ourselves and those we are close to.
According to Buddha, however, we can completely heal our past. The reasons for this are profound. The past is actually not a fixed thing. Like everything, it depends on our perception.In this course, we will apply Buddha’s powerful and liberating teachings on the nature of reality to change our experience of the past. These tried and tested methods are immensely empowering. By helping us to let go of those mistaken states of mind that keep us trapped in the past, we are able to reassess our experience from the vantage point of our incredible potential. That which previously held us back becomes the springboard towards real inner growth and fulfillment.
Our Resident Teacher, France Roy, will explain these profound insights, and he will guide us in applying them in meditation so that we can begin to experience their transformative impact for ourselves.
