If Buddha had Headphones

A One Day Stress & Mind Management Workshop for the 21st Century

This unique one day workshop combines ancient wisdom with positive psychology and aims to teach participants two simple and essential skills for mastering the challenges of modern life...

You will learn how to meditate (or relax very deeply if you prefer). Meditation is a simple and natural process and there are various techniques that can be used. My approach is designed to enable you to find the technique which is right for you.

Meditation (or deep relaxation) is accepted in both ancient and modern medicine as the most efficient way of reducing stress and the less stress you have, the happier, healthier and more in control of your life you are.

You will also learn how to defragment your mind so that it runs faster and more efficiently. Just like a computer your brain can accumulate broken and unhelpful files in the form of negative belief systems.

Repairing negative belief systems will not only minimise future stress
but will also maximise your potential for success... whatever success means to you.

In addition to these life changing skills, you will discover some amazing things about yourself and how your mind works. You will discover that your subconscious mind cannot tell the difference between what is real and what you imagine. This is important because whatever you imagine, good or bad, is what your subconscious mind thinks you want to happen.

A key message in the workshop is that it is not events that cause us problems, but how we choose to react to them. The story about Buddha below illustrates this point perfectly.

“Buddha was walking through a village when a young man approached him and started shouting. “Hey what gives you the right to tell people what to do, you are no better than the rest of us, you are nothing but a fraud”, he yelled.

Buddha ignored the man and carried on walking. The man then said “Why don't you reply aren't you offended by my insults?”

Buddha stopped, turned to the man and said “If you buy a gift for someone and they choose not to accept it, to whom does the gift belong?”

The young man was confused and thought about the question before replying "It would belong to me as I bought it”.

Buddha smiled and said “Correct and it is exactly the same with your anger, if I choose not to accept it, the anger belongs to you”.

This is not a high powered, mystical or indeed 'blind you with science' workshop. It is, however, a unique fusion of ancient wisdom with modern science.

The ideas are simple, obvious and easy to apply. The day is designed to be informal, enjoyable and relaxing.

I do not claim these as my ideas, they have been developed by far smarter people than me. All I have done is combined the best from the ancient and modern teachers into an easily digestible one day workshop...which will give you all the tools you need to cope with anything that life throws at you.
