Healing Painful Feelings

Modern neuroscience has confirmed what Buddha taught thousands of years ago - happiness remains elusive because of negative patterns of thinking. Buddha called negative states like anger, attachment and ignorance ‘delusions’ because they distort our perception and disturb our inner peace. Whenever delusions arise, it's impossible to be happy - even in the very best external situations. But it doesn’t have to be this way. Even though we may be very familiar with delusions, in reality they’re just bad mental habits, and through meditation and contemplation we can learn to recognize, reduce, and finally remove them altogether. Learn how Buddhist meditation creates positive mental habits and reveals our astonishing potential for growth and development.
