THE CLOISTERED LIFE

It’s no coincidence that monks and nuns (of almost all persuasions) and many academics tend to live in closed communities. Whether it’s a monastery or a privileged research facility the effect is the same. Freed from the pressures and frustrations of everyday life, guaranteed food and a bed, they have the perfect environment in which to still their minds and concentrate on their respective goals. It’s certainly a formula that works, that’s why it hasn’t changed for hundreds of years.

 “REAL” LIFE

Unfortunately for most of us the cloistered life isn’t an option, we have to live and function in the real world and the real world is full of stresses and hassles, traffic and bills, rude people and problems. These are problems that our minds simply haven’t evolved to cope with.
The good news is that what we have evolved is a fantastic flair for learning and adaptation. That means that, given the tools, we can learn to cope with modern pressures. We can even learn to decide how we react to problems both physically and emotionally.
You can still your mind of the worries, anger and frustrations of modern life. You can decide what to let in and what to keep out.
Your Sphere of Serenity is like your own portable cloister.

STRESS IS NOW THE BIGGEST KILLER IN THE WESTERN WORLD.

Many, if not most diseases can be traced back to stress. Stress has been linked to heart disease, weight gain, strokes, high cholesterol, stomach ulcers, depression, loss of libido, skin problems, auto-immune disorders, loss of sleep, substance abuse, loss of focus, loss of memory, loss of hair...
In short, almost everything bad

SERENITY VS PRACTICALITY?

Can you actually function efficiently whilst wandering around in a bubble of serenity?
Of course you can!
Serenity isn’t about sitting contemplating your navel with a blissful expression on your face. Serenity is about the absence of stress.
Once you learn to free your mind of the useless and often harmful “chatter” of anxiety, anger, judgement, fear and frustration, then you can start to use that energy and “brainpower” constructively, creatively and practically.

SERENITY VS BOREDOM?

Serenity is not boring. A state of serenity is perfectly compatible with laughter, love, fun, frolics, rock’n’roll, Beethoven, playing rugby or a good night out. 

SCIENCE OR SPIRITUALITY?

Contrary to some people’s opinions there is no conflict between science and spirituality. The two happily work hand in hand, in fact it’s just about impossible to say where one starts and the other ends.
The techniques we have developed for this inclusive and interactive workshop are based on a mixture of well established NLP knowledge and practices.
We use these to create behaviour patterns which still the mind and prevent the build up of stress and worry.
Most religions and belief systems say that all you need to do is allow God into your heart, connect to your Higher Self, to the Universe or something similar.
Most of them also suggest some form of meditation or prayer in order to do so. The purpose of that meditation or prayer is precisely to still the mind. Nature abhors a vacuum, stop the destructive activities of the mind and God/the Universe/your Higher Self will fill the space. It’s almost as simple as that.

YOU DON’T NEED TO MAKE TIME FOR SERENITY

The techniques we use become part of your everyday life. At first it will require some discipline, but no extra time, and soon they will just become habit.
It isn’t about putting aside hours for meditation, it’s about changing the way you react to everyday events as they happen.
