Cultivating Emotional Balance: A Full 42-hour Training (Online)
Hosted by the Tibet House US
Every Saturday between February 20 and May 8
12-2 PM & 2:30-4:30 PM ET
Cultivating Emotional Balance (CEB) is a contemplative training program that combines the insights of psychological research with the traditional practices of mind-training. The aim of the program is to learn to use our emotions—both pleasant and unpleasant—to cultivate greater levels of clarity and psychological wellbeing.
This in-depth course will consist of twelve 4-hour long sessions (each with a 30 minute break). Every session includes some theoretical explanations, interactive group activities, self-reflection exercises and periods of meditation practice.
Learning to understand the modulations and logic of our fundamental emotional states, we will use a number of psychological and contemplative skills to establish greater levels of inner stability.
The full 42-hour CEB program takes its participants through a deep exploration of their habits pertaining to all the major emotional groups: anger, fear, disgust, joy, sadness, surprise and shame. In addition, it includes a comprehensive overview of the three main forms of meditation practice: developing attentional stability, cultivating virtues of the heart and looking deeply into the nature of our experiences.
