Overview

Most of us are familiar with the pounding heart, shortness of breath, dizziness, and other physical sensations that accompany anxiety. In meditation we learn to use these symptoms – as well as any of the pleasant, unpleasant, and neutral sensations that can occur in our bodies – as supports for awareness. By holding these experiences within awareness, we develop a new relationship with our anxious minds – one that is characterized by openness, flexibility, and ease. This webinar is an opportunity to learn how to meditate with anxiety and other difficult feelings directly from Mingyur Rinpoche, a world-renowned meditation teacher who himself suffered from panic attacks as a young man and now calls them one of his greatest teachers.

Schedule Program

The schedule will include:

• Introduction session with Tergar Instructors
• Teaching and guided meditation with Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche
• Q&A session

Benefits

The benefits of meditation include “robust and substantial reductions in symptoms of anxiety,” according to a study published in British Journal of Clinical Psychology. Meditation has also been shown to be effective for managing physical pain, reducing symptoms of stress, developing greater empathy, and improving our ability to focus.

In this webinar you will learn how to:

• use formal meditation practice to start making friends with anxiety and other challenging emotions
• begin and sustain a daily meditation practice
• apply the techniques of meditation in everyday life to find inner stability and calmness in any situation

This webinar is part of Tergar’s Joy of Living program, a series of in-depth courses that encompasses three progressive levels – Calming the Mind, Opening the Heart, and Awakening Wisdom – designed to guide participants step-by-step through cultivating their natural capacity for awareness, compassion, and insight.
