Mind as a Metaphor (The Song of Mahamudra)
How attitude shapes the way you see the world — and how to change it
Quiet Mind Workshop: Fall 2009;
eight weekday evenings at:
Vanakays Fitness Studio;
275 Lakeshore Rd (NEW ADDRESS!)
Pointe-Claire, Quebec
Each Quiet Mind Workshop takes place over a series of eight evenings, once a week, and provides the tools you need to understand your mind and how it works. Their goal is to identify mental patterns that lead to stress and to resolve them. Based on the meditative and reflective teachings of the historical Buddha, these teachings are delivered in plain English and relate very practically to everyday life in North American consumer society. Participants learn breathing techniques for short-term stress management as well as long-term reflective tools that, when integrated into your daily activities, can literally transform the way you live.
Quiet Mind Workshops have been presented every Fall, Winter and Spring since 2002 and have helped hundreds from Montreal and surrounding areas develop their reflective instincts. Visit Quiet Mind Seminars for more information.

Coping with stress means facing up to the everyday difficulties of life. Although you can't change how life happens, you can change your response to it. With Mindful reflection you can come to terms with stress by facing, identifying and retraining the part you play in it instead of trying to escape it. |
