Transformative Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Course for Inner Calm and Stress Reduction

<h2>Description</h2><p><span><strong><u>Buddhism Diploma</u></strong></span></p><p><span>The Buddhism Diploma Course will help you to gain an insight into Buddhism, understand the subject, learn about its founder - Gautama Buddha, and comprehend how Buddhism has grown worldwide as a concept on how to study one's inner self and learn mindful kindness towards others. By taking the Buddhism Diploma Course, you will study about the Buddha's personal history and his journey towards Enlightenment. You will study how his own strenuous journey to free the mind, body and spirit of emotions and his personal experiences helped him to form a philosophy that was his personal pathway to serenity or Nirvana. Over the centuries, many scriptures with detailed descriptions of the teachings of Buddha have been filtered down into simple disciplines that are commonly followed in all Buddhist monasteries and communities. Though the study of these disciplines may seem a bit challenging, it is worthwhile to study his teachings about The Four Noble Truths and The Eightfold Pathway(both are covered in the Buddhism Diploma Course) as they are the base on which his teachings are built upon. Irrespective of whether you are a person looking for an introduction to Buddhism in order to practice it for yourself or thinking of studying it from a purely academic point of view, the Buddhism Diploma Course is a great place to start. The theoretical and practical sessions of the Diploma will help you to learn the concepts of Buddhism and how Buddha's preaching can be put into practice in your own life for your own benefit as well as to help others. Fundamentally, Buddhism is a set of tools that have evolved over hundreds of years in India, Japan, China and all over Asia. These tools are of more importance in today's life as anxiety has become a part and parcel of today's life. This course, while introducing you to Buddhism teaches you how Buddhist disciplines can help you to develop happiness, peace, love, contentment and equanimity so that the challenges you come upon in your day-to-day life can be effectively dealt with.</span></p><p><span><strong>What you will learn</strong></span></p><p><span><strong>1: </strong>Introduction to Buddhism</span><br />

Christian Psychology Course

<p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;"><em fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: 18px; box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style="font-size: 18px;">This is a course that will help you deal with difficult people, and help you see those difficult people as your best teachers - what we call in Zen &#39;troublesome buddhas&#39;. When we change our attitude from one of trying to avoid difficult people to one of seeing them as teachers, then can <em id="isPasted" fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">show you where you can grow and act with greater wisdom, compassion and kindness.&nbsp;</em>This is a companion course to my book of the same title (2021, Watkins) and my podcast series on this topic called &lsquo;Zen at the Sharp End&rsquo;.</span></em></p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">This course is for anyone wanting to learn how to respond to
difficult people and situations with more clarity and wisdom.
You might be someone who has a number of troublesome people in various quarters of your life, or perhaps you have one particularly enraging one, or you have brushed up against an array of them at different points in your life. You can see that there&rsquo;s often a pattern to your behaviour in relation to them and it usually causes pain &ndash; perhaps a great deal of pain. The only way we can grow is by facing this pain, acknowledging how we feel and how we&rsquo;ve reacted, and making a commitment to end this repeating pattern of suffering. I assume no previous experience with mindfulness or Zen (or indeed any kind of Buddhism), and by no means do you need to identify as a Buddhist or adhere to any beliefs.<br fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">
</p><div id="isPasted" title="Page 16" fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">In <strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">part 1</strong> we&#39;ll explore what a troublesome buddha is and what it means to start learning from the difficult people in our lives. Then in <strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">part 2</strong> we&#39;ll explore how our particular tendencies and habitual behaviours contribute to the difficulty of certain relationships - for example one person might get angry, while another person may react very apologetically. In <strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">part 3</strong>, I introduce what I&#39;d see as the first key skill to develop - awareness of body sensations and the importance of maintaining emotional regulation, and in <strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">part 4</strong> I guide a body scan meditation practice. <strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">Part 5</strong> is about the second key skill: considering the possibility that you may not always be in the right. In <strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">part 6</strong> I guide a meditation on being with discomfort in the body, since our ability to be ok with discomfort as the emotional heat rises is very important. <strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">Part 7</strong> is all about trying out new ways of behaving, and I guide a meditation on a Zen koan about dealing with conflict in <strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">part 8</strong>. <strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">Part 9</strong> is about the subject of &nbsp;opinions, how they can contribute to the difficulty in our relationships and how we can learn to hold them more lightly. And in <strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">part 10</strong>, we explore shifting from a perspective of seeing ourselves and others as separate to one of connection and integration, where we might see everyone (including our difficult people) as just facets in one giant jewel.</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">Each part includes a suggestion for an exercise or set of exercises to follow to help you embody the teachings of this course.</p></div>

Leading with Kindness: Fundamentals - Why Lead with Kindness?

<h3 id="isPasted" fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;"><strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">Do you struggle with giving tricky feedback? Saying something important that you think others won&#39;t want to hear? Standing up for yourself and sharing your thoughts or needs? You are NOT alone! Having worked in a support role for a decent sized employer in the UK for over a decade, we KNOW that this is a challenge for many: a silent struggle that often goes untackled, unsupported and unresolved. Worse still, this is not a status quo without cost. It costs teams, departments and businesses in lost talent, efficiency and poor mental health. It costs YOU too; stress, anxiety, overwork and challenging relationships.</strong></strong></h3><h3 fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;">We know there&#39;s a better way and we&#39;d like to share the core concepts with you!

Leading with Kindness: Purposeful Communication

<p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;"><strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">It would be easy to think that self-kindness should, surely, come naturally.&nbsp; That we would all know how to think kindly of ourselves, cut ourselves some slack, offer ourselves the same empathy and compassion that we like to offer those around us. But, in my experience as a counsellor and facilitator, this is not the case.</strong></p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">We are very often harder on ourselves than others, we often hold ourselves to higher standards than for others in our lives and we can - and often do - punish and berate ourselves when we don&#39;t manage to live up to the image of perfection that we think we should be.<strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;"><br fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: border-box;"></strong></p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">Now, none of this would be a problem if it helped. If it made us feel good. If it brought happiness and a sense of achievement. &nbsp;The sad thing is that it often doesn&#39;t. Instead it leaves us exhausted, lacking in confidence, plagued by negative thinking and doubts about our worth.&nbsp; It&#39;s a cruel thing indeed that we can end up tormenting ourselves through a simple lack of self-kindness.</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">Fortunately, there is another way.&nbsp; There is a world in which we can treat ourselves with kindness <strong fr-original-style="" style="font-weight: 700; box-sizing: border-box;">AND&nbsp;</strong>grow, learn, develop and achieve. What&#39;s more, in this snappy little workshop I&#39;ll be sharing how you can get started and why acceptance isn&#39;t about rolling over and giving up and is - instead - the place from which to get started.</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">I can&#39;t wait to share it all with you!</p>

Before we go any further, let's get one thing clear. This is not another piece of 'self-help' content that's going to leave you feeling worse than you did before. It's not another piece of content full of advice and a great long list of stuff that you SHOULD be doing (but don't have time for). It is, in fact, the exact opposite.
It's a chance for you to take a breath and re-connect with what matters to you as a parent.
A moment to pause and notice what's currently working - and the bits that aren't.
A space for YOU to decide what route you'd like to take, which advice you'd like to follow.
AND, most important of all, a few precious minutes of support and kindness for you as you tough it through the most challenging role of your life.
What will you gain? You'd be surprised. For some it's about perspective and recognition, for others it's the support and just knowing that they're not alone. All we know is that moments like these matter and we'd love for you to join us!
