Stop Overthinking, Find Stillness Within

Saturday 26 April 2025

10am to 1.15pm

At Heruka Kadampa Meditation Centre, Golders Green

With Kadam John McBretney

Do you find it hard to quieten your mind and just let go? While we all need to think – to reflect, understand and make decisions – sometimes we can end up overthinking. Our thoughts become repetitive, negative, unclear or stuck. We find it hard to ‘switch off’, which can be exhausting and unproductive.

Buddha’s insight into the nature and function of the mind can help. Certain meditations in particular can help us to balance our thoughts and feel calmer as we navigate our busy, modern world with all its stress and stimulation.

You will learn how to:

  • Identify unhelpful thoughts
  • Learn to stay relaxed, peaceful and calm
  • Protect your mind from stress and worry

Led by Kadam John McBretney, our Resident Teacher. Includes teachings and guided meditation, with time for Q&A.

"When the turbulence of distracting thoughts subsides and our mind becomes still, a deep happiness and contentment naturally arises from within.”
