Mind Love • Modern Mindfulness to Think, Feel, and Live Well

We will learn:

• How to shift your focus from external events to your personal growth.
• How to align your dreams and goals to higher guidance.
• Buddhism's path to overcoming isolation and finding connection

Have you ever felt like you're the only person in a crowded room? Like you're surrounded by people, but still feel a sense of isolation?

Buddhism says that thinking we're all separate is just us being delusional. This delusion is one of the "Three Poisons" that keep us stuck in a cycle of suffering, or Samsara. So, the way out is to break down that illusion and see that we're all interconnected.

So, what if that lonely feeling is actually a sign? A nudge to look deeper and see how we're all connected? That's what we're diving into today: Loneliness, Love, and Human Connection, all from a Buddhist perspective.
