Buddhist Wisdom for Silencing the Inner Critic
Many of us have a tendency to be excessively self-critical, self-doubting and lacking in confidence. These debilitating thoughts can affect our relationships, our work, and our ability to realize our full potential in life.
In this course, we will learn how to use Buddhist insights and wisdom to free ourselves from self-critical thoughts and attitudes and recognize our potential for limitless inner peace and mental freedom. We can prove to ourselves that this “inner critic” is a mental distortion coming from our misconception about who we really are, and so it can be eliminated completely.
Everyone is welcome! You do not need any previous experience with meditation.
