The Power of Your Mind
Happiness and suffering are feelings – parts of our mind – and so their main causes are not to be found outside the mind. If we really want to be truly happy and free from suffering we must improve our understanding of the mind. We often say, ‘My mind, my mind’, but if someone were to ask us, ‘What is your mind’, we would have no correct answer. This is because we do not understand the nature and function of the mind correctly.
In this course we will explore the nature of the mind and how it creates both our world and our experience of that world. We will learn how to use our understanding of the mechanics of the mind to free ourselves from negative thoughts and conceptions. By putting these instructions into practice we can transform our mind into a reliable source of peace and happiness for ourselves and others.

When it comes to our physical health, there is a lot of knowledge and information available about our body and how to take care of it. To a large extent we know what to do, and we do what we can to keep physically well.
However, when it comes to knowing and caring for our mind, generally things are not so clear. What is our mind and how do we care for it? How do we develop and maintain a balanced, relaxed and comfortable mind?
In this series we will explore the nature and function of the mind. We will explore how to take care of our mind through this understanding and practising meditation.
Through understanding the nature and function of our mind we will be able to care of it better. This will have many benefits including becoming more present, becoming able to harness the power of our mind and being able to fully enjoy our life.
