A DAY COURSE
with James Longridge
In today’s fast-paced world, many of us struggle with stress, worry, and feelings of being overwhelmed. We may experience anxiety about the future, fear of failure, or discouragement when life doesn’t go as planned. What we often don’t realize is that the real source of this stress lies not in our external circumstances, but within our own mind. When we try too hard to control everything around us, and neglect our inner world, we lose touch with the peace that is naturally within us.
Through mindfulness and meditation, we can begin to restore this inner balance. By gently learning not to fear our own feelings, we break free from the cycle of anxious thoughts and find space to breathe. Regular mindfulness practice, such as meditation and deep breathing help calm the nervous system, bringing relaxation and clarity. They also nurture self-awareness, so we can respond to life’s challenges thoughtfully rather than react out of habit. With regular practice, mindfulness builds resilience, reduces anxiety and depression, and opens the door to a deeper sense of calm and inner clarity.
James has been studying, practicing, and teaching Kadampa Buddhism for over 30 years. He shows a humble, kind example as a practitioner, and his clear explanations of Buddha's teachings give us the confidence to practice them in our daily lives.
