About this online course
Discover greater happiness and well-being using insights and methods from Buddhist contemplative practices in this online course with meditation teacher, David Johnson.
Our favourite part of our day is usually those quieter, calm moments – such as having our morning coffee, going for a walk, or reading. This is because in these moments we are giving our mind a break from being caught up in the turbulence of distraction and noise. Instead, we are mindfully present with whatever we’re doing, which brings about an inner calm and a feeling of well-being and contentment.
During this course, explore the difference between genuine happiness and wellbeing from within, and pleasure from the external world. Discover how it is possible to train your mind to be calm, peaceful and mindfully present. Instead of being caught up in worry and stress, you can learn to have an open, calm, and joyful presence throughout your day and with everyone you meet. In this way, you can uncover genuine happiness and well-being from within, and sustain this no matter what happens.
On this course you will learn:
- What is mindfulness
- How does mindfulness relate to happiness and wellbeing
- What are the two types of happiness and wellbeing
- How our attempts to control the external world actually brings about our own frustration and unhappiness
- How to cultivate genuine happiness and wellbeing from within
