COURSE DESCRIPTION:This course is based on Suryacitta’s 30 years of experience of practising and teaching. He is the author of five books on meditation, happiness and compassion and is an ordained Buddhist. He has observed over these 30 years that the primary problem most people have is that they over think. Too many of us live in our head which chatters, judges, criticises, plans (when we don’t want it to) and a million other things. Overthinking can be seen as the art of creating problems which don’t exist. It is the main cause behind anxiety, fear, dread and also persistent sense of restlessness. The course will explore experientially the whole idea of why we over think and what we can do about it. Each session will include a meditation or contemplation, short talk and practical tools and techniques for everyday life. The content is all pre-recorded audio by Suryacitta who runs Mindfulness Unleashed 24/7 a global online programme. The course is aimed to be completed in ten days, but you do it take over a longer period, and repeat as many times as you wish. Once purchased it is yours and is downloadable.
What people say about this course
"The simple exercises, the straight no nonsense way of explaining why we overthink was mind blowing."
Thank you. Phil (Australia)
"Suryacitta is the only Mindfulness teacher I have managed to stick with. There is an authenticity and down-to-earth quality that is lacking in many others.
Having first been told “You think too much!” at the age of 6, I was keen to try the course “Help - I can’t stop thinking!” I found it clear, enjoyable and very useful. I particularly liked the “ABC takeaway” and session 3 “Who’s this in the shower with me”. It is a course I will revisit when I (inevitably) get too caught up in my head in the future, for a dose of perspective and reassurance." Hannah (UK)
"The thing is, after doing literally dozens of courses, this one actually works if you follow what is suggested. "
Mark (Canada)
"Brilliant, clear, simple and done with humour too."
Sarah (UK)
"Thank you Suryacitta, I am doing this course for the third time and still learing about my mind."
