Shambhala Meditation Center of Albany

Welcome and Let Go: Working with Stress and Difficult Emotions with Mr. Ryu Yoshida. 1st & 3rd Tuesdays from 7:30 -9:00 pm. Many stress reduction methods operate by helping us to get away from, temporarily distract ourselves from our difficulties. Or by reinterpreting reality so that what we first perceived as bad is later seen as good. But in the Buddhist view, stressful feelings are not things to be repressed or denied or distracted from. Rather, they are an integral part of who we are. By leaning into them, by allowing ourselves to deeply feel them in our minds and bodies, we find them to be a source of insight and freedom. We can find light and fresh air right within our stress.
