The training

- Two chapters per week. All with your eyes closed.

- We will calm your mind with mindfulness, and then you will be guided through meditation.

- Each chapter will be dedicated to a suffering that we experience in our daily lives. The aim is to understand it in order to overcome it. 

- It is about recognizing the causes of your suffering, understanding that you have the capacity to overcome it, and then gaining confidence and commitment to transform your suffering.

- Through guided meditations, you will learn to forgive yourself, to better manage your emotions, to finally live the life you deserve to live.

- Once you have done the work for yourself, you will have the skills to help your loved ones so that they too can free themselves from their suffering.
