These courses run on demand at our main teaching centers and may be offered residentially or non-residentially over weekends or midweek.
Each session is guided by Rajesh or teachers with direct, personal experience in the specific subject matter.
While you will learn the same foundational techniques as in the regular course, special focus is placed on addressing specific topics, and personalized techniques will be provided to help you overcome particular challenges. Some sessions will feature guest speakers who will share their personal journeys and how meditation has brought transformation into their lives.
Depression can significantly impact our lives, but it can be effectively managed and even overcome through meditation. This course is designed to address the root causes of diminished self-esteem and self-worth, helping to gently rebuild and elevate these essential foundations.
Meditation fosters a positive relationship with oneself, nurturing self-compassion and providing tools to navigate challenging emotions.
By practicing meditation and mindfulness, you can become more aware of negative thought patterns and learn to observe them without judgment, creating space for new, healthier perspectives.
Meditation also encourages relaxation and helps regulate the nervous system, which can reduce feelings of anxiety, sadness, and fatigue that often accompany depression. This course provides techniques to cultivate inner resilience, empowering you to move forward with renewed confidence and to embrace a life free from the shadows of the past.
Through this journey, you’ll gain the strength to look ahead with optimism, letting go of limiting beliefs and truly reconnecting with a brighter sense of self.
Depression often brings about a cycle of negative thoughts, rumination, and self-doubt, creating a feedback loop that can feel overwhelming and difficult to escape. Meditation offers a powerful tool for breaking this cycle, as it cultivates mindfulness—a skill that helps you observe these thoughts without getting entangled in them.
By practicing regularly, you develop the ability to respond to emotions with calm and clarity, rather than reacting out of habit or fear. This shift can empower you to identify and transform limiting beliefs and replace them with more supportive, uplifting perspectives. Meditation helps you ground yourself in the present moment, alleviating the tendency to dwell on past regrets or anxieties about the future, both of which can heavily contribute to depressive feelings.
Another vital benefit of meditation for those dealing with depression is its ability to enhance physical and mental relaxation. Meditation has been shown to reduce cortisol levels, the body’s primary stress hormone, which can significantly ease tension, fatigue, and the physical aches associated with depressive states.
Through this course, you’ll learn breathing techniques, body scans, and visualization exercises that help release stress from the body and mind, creating a profound sense of peace and restoration. Over time, these practices help build a stable inner foundation, allowing you to navigate the ups and downs of life with resilience and renewed optimism. Ultimately, meditation provides a holistic approach to healing from depression, guiding you toward a greater sense of self-acceptance, strength, and purpose in everyday life.
