Developing mindfulness
Improvement in mental and physical health
Becoming a serene person with inner peace
Letting go of unhappiness, guilt, and regret
Ceasing to waste life as you learn to live more meaningfully
Developing true loving kindness, compassion and concern for the welfare of other people and all living creatures
Managing pain and discomfort

Even in these turbulent times peace and tranquillity are all around us if we choose to see them.

"Letting go gives us freedom, and freedom is the only condition for happiness. If, in our heart, we still cling to anything - anger, anxiety, or possessions - we cannot be free."
