Beyond Anxiety: An Unshakeable Confidence

Short Course

Learn to loosen your grip on anxiety, and embrace the truths of life

Do you find yourself caught up in fear and anxiety? Do you sometimes disproportionally focus on sources of concern and difficulty? Can you get overwhelmed by personal, social or global problems?

Anxiety is one of the afflictions of our age. Lost in what could possibly happen, we lose touch with what is right now, and with how to meet situations simply and effectively.

In addition to personal matters, the Covid pandemic, political divisiveness, economic strain and our increasing ecological collapse can further add to a state of fearful uncertainty and concern.

This on-demand course with Sangha Live founding teacher Martin Aylward explores the nature, phenomenology and understanding of anxiety. Understanding our patterning and recognizing the origins of anxiety can lead to the emergence of unshakeable confidence, allowing us to face anything in life with openness of heart and freeness of mind.

Join this session to learn to:

  • Discriminate between momentary, habitual and existential anxiety
  • Befriend, regulate and understand different expressions of anxiety
  • Inquire into the sources of anxiety, without further inflaming anxious rumination
  • See beyond anxious storylines and feelings
  • Cultivate an understanding and vision of life arising out of deep, gentle, unshakeable confidence

What are Short Courses?

With the independent student in mind, previously recorded Dharma practice sessions have been curated and trimmed into short guided videos that are easy to understand and put into practice.

Short courses include longer periods of meditation interspersed with wise teachings, practice exercises, a recorded Q&A from the live class, and more.

When you sign up, you’ll get instant access so you can join the course on your own schedule, and at your ideal pace. With lifetime access, you can watch and re-watch the videos as you please.

What’s Included

Approximately 3 hours of pre-recorded video content. Every video – whether a lesson, meditation, exercise, or Q&A – includes a description, so you have total flexibility when planning your self-paced study.

Cost

Short Courses are offered on a sliding scale basis, with a suggested rate of $35. We wholeheartedly welcome all to practice with us; no one turned away for lack of funds.
