It claims that spending a small amount of time each day meditating can decrease stress and anxiety, increase focus and productivity, and improve mental health issues like depression. The course teaches participants to understand their mind and thought patterns, cultivate awareness of thoughts and emotions through meditation, and apply mindfulness techniques to everyday life.

Understanding and managing stress?
We will explore Resilience and how you can develop yours.

A group program using Compassion Focused Therapy, adapted from the book CFT Made Easy by Russel Kolts, and The Power of Self Compassion by Mary Welford and the Untethered Soul by Michael Singer
When we meditate, we inject far-reaching and long-lasting benefits into our lives: We lower our stress levels, we get to know our pain, we connect better, we improve our focus, and we're kinder to ourselves. Let us walk you through the basics in our new mindful guide on how to meditate.
“Human mind is like being filled with drunken monkeys, jumping around, screeching, chattering, carrying on endlessly. We all have monkey minds, with dozens of monkeys all clamoring for attention. Fear is an especially loud monkey, sounding the alarm incessantly, pointing out all the things we should be wary of and everything that could go wrong”.
2. What if we told you…
you can decrease stress and anxiety
you can increase focus and productivity
you can combat depression, improve your
self-confidence, and be more emotionally
balanced
…just by spending a short time each day doing
something simple?
thetadprinciple.com
3. And, it’s been proven effective
over thousands of years.
Plus, it’s backed by scientific
research.
thetadprinciple.com
4. The struggles of life…
We all face similar challenges:
stress
worry
fear and regret
anxiety
depression
self-confidence issues
and more…
thetadprinciple.com
5. What doesn’t work:
Traditional self-help methods
Forced “positive thinking”
Motivational platitudes
Sure, they can provide temporary relief. But,
you always end up dealing with the same
problems again.
thetadprinciple.com
7. Our focus is wrong.
Everything we do treats the symptoms of
the problem, not the problem itself.
We need to address the root cause.
thetadprinciple.com
8. The root cause: our minds
Our minds are the foundation for everything.
Our daily life is characterized by compulsive
thinking. Our minds churn through thoughts,
feelings, emotions, and urges seemingly non-stop.
This “mind-made” activity dictates our actions and
reactions.
We are subjected to a constant narrative (you
know, that voice in your head).
thetadprinciple.com
9. Our condition: lost in thought
A fish doesn’t realize it is surrounded by
water, because it has always been
surrounded by water.
Likewise,
Many of us don’t realize we are inundated
with thoughts, because we have always
been inundated with thoughts.
thetadprinciple.com
10. Over the course of our lives, we
have been conditioned to follow
our minds wherever they lead.
And, most of us don’t even realize
we do it; we live on “auto-pilot.”
thetadprinciple.com
11. We identify with the “mind-made”
activity:
We attach to it.
We get lost in it.
We are swept away by it.
thetadprinciple.com
12. Three quick experiments:
1. Take 30 seconds and think of nothing. How
far did you get before you had a thought?
2. Take 5 minutes and write down every
thought you have. How many were there?
How varied and random were they?
3. Read this sentence silently to yourself. Can
you hear the voice in your head?
thetadprinciple.com
13. What can you do about it?
Develop a clear understanding of your
mind, its activity, and the problems it
creates in your life.
Cultivate awareness of your thoughts,
feelings, emotions, and urges. And, learn
not to cede control to them.
thetadprinciple.com
14. What can you do about it?
Practice observing, accepting, and not
attaching to the “mind-made” activity.
Interrupt the conditioned patterns you
have developed over the course of your
life.
thetadprinciple.com
16. Sam Harris, author and neuroscientist:
“The habit of spending nearly every
waking moment lost in thought leaves
us at the mercy of whatever our
thoughts happen to be.
Meditation is a way of breaking this spell.”
