COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course is based on Suryacitta’s 30 years of experience of practising and teaching. He has observed over these years that the primary problem most people have has that they over think.
Too many of us live in our head which chatters, judges, criticises, plans (when we don’t want it to) and a million other things. over-thinking can be seen as the art of creating problems which don’t exist. It is the main cause behind anxiety, fear, dread and also persistent sense of restlessness.
The course will explore experientially the whole idea of why we over think and what we can do about it.
Each session will include a meditation or contemplation, short talk and practical tools and techniques for everyday life.
The content is all pre-recorded audio by Suryacitta who runs Mindfulness Unleashed 24/7 a global online programme. The course is aimed to be completed in ten days, but you do it take over a longer period, and repeat as many times as you wish. Once purchased it is yours and is downloadable.
Approximately 2 hours 20 minutes of recording
HELP! I CAN'T STOP THINKING
SESSION 1: Help! I can't stop thinking
DESCRIPTION
Mark Twain once said, “I’m an old man, I have had many problems, most of the never happened.” Call it what you will but over-thinking is the cause of much suffering and distress in our lives. The mind is a beautiful instrument creating many wonders in life, but it is out of control, and as a consequence it also creates suffering when not used wisely.
PLEASE NOTE: All session include teachings and short meditation.
SESSION 2: The parable of the two daggers of life
DESCRIPTION
In this session Suryacitta is going to show you in no uncertain terms just how you create your own suffering, and how to stop this. He also clarifies the difference between suffering and pain with the telling of one of the most simple and profound images called the parable of the two arrows.
SESSION 3: Who’s this in the car with me?
DESCRIPTION
How many conversations do you have each and everyday with people who are not actually with you, nor are you on the phone with them? When you think about this you will realise you have lots of them.
SESSION 4: How to unhook from over-thinking
DESCRIPTION
Ever been fishing or watched somebody do it? The person fishing puts some bait on the hook and unfortunately for the fish it bites not only into the bait but also onto the hook. Thoughts are like hooks, they come along and we “hook” into them.
SESSION 5: Please, stop watching the “ME” movie
DESCRIPTION
If we are honest we will admit that we are self-obsessed. This is not a judgment, but a simple statement from years of observation. It’s like we are in a movie cinema and it’s playing a movie called ME. This “movie,” the thoughts in our head keep playing the same old repeats of past and of future hopes and fears - give it up!
SESSION 6: How you create your heaven and hell.
DESCRIPTION
Most of us know that heaven and hell are not real places we go to, but that they are states of mind. But do we know how we create these states? Do we realise that the mind is a story teller and that heaven and hell depends on that story - you are the audience.
SESSION 7: What we feel, we heal
DESCRIPTION
Much or our over thinking is a way of protecting ourselves from feeling. When we live in our head in this way these feelings and emotions can become “lodged” in the body. What these feelings and emotions need is to be healed, and feeling them for just a moment can begin this glorious process.
SESSION 8: Bursting your balloons
DESCRIPTION
Each morning we wake up and blow into a balloon. After five minutes life comes along and bursts it. We reach for another balloon, then life comes along again and bursts that one. We do this all day long each and every day, and it’s exhausting. We can call this the art of non-acceptance - learn to accept!
SESSION 9: Getting off the thought bus and keeping the inner critic quiet
DESCRIPTION
What we all want is to be in the present moment. We intuitively know that this is where
peacefulness and fulfillment are. However, many of us are not sure how to be in the present moment. Through a tantalisingly simple and everyday metaphor Suryacitta. explains how.
SESSION 10: Waking up to every moment of your life/Opening to your natural self
DESCRIPTION
We only have this one life - as far as we know. However, we are rarely here to savour it. Instead of experiencing real life in the here and now, which is full of wonder and joy, we miss it because we are fixated on the mental world of the head. Which we can call our virtual reality.

MORE CONTENT DETAILS BELOW
COURSE DESCRIPTION: Many of us know the importance of meditation for good mental and spiritual health. However, it is so easy until meditation is established to keep getting hooked into our stories, anxieties, fears and just generally feeling ungrounded and like a leaf in the wind.
This course is designed to sit in your pocket and to be listened to wherever you get the chance. It can be in the car, public transport, at home or having a break at work. It is designed mainly to help you stay in the here and now and to remain sane and centered in this busy world.
Each session includes less than one minute of intro (apart from the last one) and then straight into the meditation of your choice.
Listen to them as you wish and need them. Listen to them over and again and absorb their message.
The content is all pre-recorded audio by Suryacitta who runs meditation retreats in Leicester, the UK and Europe.

Approximately 2 hours 10 minutes
MEDITATIONS IN YOUR POCKET
MEDITATION 1, Mindfulness of breathing
DESCRIPTION
The Mindfulness of breathing is the most practiced meditation in the Buddhist world and maybe in the secular world too. it is ideal for getting us out of the mind and experiencing the relief of feeling the breath and the body. it is such a simple, direct and beautiful meditation which enhance focus and presence.
PLEASE NOTE: All sessions include a good length guided meditation.
MEDITATION 2: Being at home meditation
DESCRIPTION
The body is your "home." However we often find ourselves away from home in the mind which seems to constantly live in the past and future, hope and fear. be at home, sit down and relax.
MEDITATION 3: Mountain meditation
DESCRIPTION
This meditation is ideal when we feel busy, rushed and ungrounded. it can get us back into the body and to adopt the qualities of a mountain - stillness, acceptance, feeling here and now and silent.
MEDITATION 4: Techniques for daily life
DESCRIPTION
This is a little different from the other sessions. It gives you some wonderful and simple tools and techniques for your everyday life when feeling rushed, angry, anxious or whatever. All easily applicable wherever you are.
MEDITATION 5: Coming to your senses
DESCRIPTION
The vast majority of us spend far too much time in the judging mind, in the head - missing our life. This meditation brings you into the senses, into being alive to real life as it is happening.
MEDITATION 6: Effortless meditation
DESCRIPTION
This is one of Suryacitta's favourite meditations. It shows that so much of life is effortless and is just happening all be itself. Realising this brings deep relaxation. Listen and find out for yourself.
MEDITATION 7: Feeling is healing
DESCRIPTION
Suryacitta nearly always includes a meditation of this kind on his courses as it is so valuable. He shows you how to be with all the difficult emotions that we experience. It is simple and beautiful.
MEDITATION 8: Melting your troubles
DESCRIPTION
This meditation uses visuals and felt senses to show how to let go of, or rather how to melt away the stresses and pressures you may be experiencing.
MEDITATION 9: Just sitting - open awareness
DESCRIPTION
This meditation is both so simple it is often misunderstood. it is another of Suryacitta's favourite meditations and is practiced all over the Zen Buddhist tradition. Often called Serene Reflection.
MEDITATION 10: Loving Kindness - guided by Gaynor
DESCRIPTION
This is another meditation practiced over the Buddhist world. It is a beautiful and brilliantly led by Gaynor who has practiced this for many years.
This meditation can be shortened to less stages but Gaynor wanted to lead the full meditation which means it is 20 minutes long. A very rich meditation.
How to open to your natural jewel of joy and ease Meeting your intuitive self
OPENING TO YOUR NATURAL JEWEL OF JOY AND EASE
Price £20 (All major currencies accepted)
Please note: You will receive your link in the confirmation email from Paypal
MORE CONTENT DETAILS BELOW
COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course is based on Suryacitta’s latest book, the Happiness and Contentment Workbook published in 2020.
Imagine a large ice cube. At its centre shines a beautiful glittering jewel. The jewel represents your innate joy and wonder - but because it is encased in a block of ice you don’t have access to it. The ice in this image is a barrier, a barrier which prevents us from accessing the jewel of natural joy. This barrier is created by our ‘rigidly held limiting beliefs’. Our thoughts, attitudes and behaviours which keep our jewel of joy frozen and seemingly out of reach.
If you want to access your jewel, you need to melt the ice. You can do this by simply putting it in the sun. The sun in our experience is mindfulness or awareness, and it is this quality which helps to melt the ice and reveals your jewel of nature joy.
Each session includes a short talk and a meditation and or an exercise.
The content is all pre-recorded audio by Suryacitta who runs mindfulness in Leicester. The course is aimed to be completed in ten days but you can do it over a longer period, and repeat as many times as you wish. Once purchased it is yours and is downloadable.
Approximately 2 hours 30 minutes of recording
OPENING TO YOUR NATURAL JEWEL OF JOY AND EASE
SESSION 1: Becoming mushy
DESCRIPTION
Just as the warmth of the sun melts ice and reveals what is within it, so the warmth of mindfulness melts away the barriers which prevent us from accessing the jewel of ease and joy. Suryacitta will illustrate how to use mindfulness to open to the natural joy and wonder of life by melting away all that stands stubbornly before it.
There will be a short talk and contemplations which will activate your sub-conscious mind resulting increased self-awareness.
PLEASE NOTE: All session include teachings/exercise and short meditation.
SESSION 2: Meeting your intuition
DESCRIPTION
We all have intuition, but we don’t always listen to it. The intuition knows things and sees things which the rational mind doesn’t know and see. The intuition can help guide you through your life - find out how to listen!.
SESSION 3: Your limiting beliefs
DESCRIPTION:
Beliefs are unexamined assumptions and views about ourselves, others and life in general. Just by believing them we stop behaving, feeling and speaking in ways which are natural to us. These beliefs may be that you are unworthy, or that you don’t deserve to be happy, and are often hidden from your conscious mind.
SESSION 4: Courage - a little forgiveness for self and others
DESCRIPTION
One of the ways we form the ice which separates us from our natural joy is that of holding onto resentments. These resentments may be things which people have said or done to you in the past or what we have said and done to ourselves. Forgive and free yourself!
SESSION 5: Compassionate Boundaries
DESCRIPTION
In my experience of teaching mindfulness, I have realised how vitally important personal boundaries are to my own and others well-being. Many of us struggle with this area in our lives, assuming that saying “no” will seem unkind, or being assertive will come across as aggressive. But healthy personal boundaries are an essential ingredient to a balanced and happy life.
SESSION 6: From thinking to sensing
DESCRIPTION
As most of us know, we spend far too much time in our heads - thinking. Much of this thinking creates problems which don’t happen, have never happened and never will happen!. This is the cause of much distress and is one of the ways we create the ice of unhappiness.
SESSION 7: Dancing with dragons - Befriending difficult emotions
DESCRIPTION
Many of us are uncomfortable with certain emotions: we don’t quite know what to do with them. However, it’s not really the emotions we experience which are problematic, it’s the ones we don’t experience. They can remain “stuck” year after year - feel them and heal them!
SESSION 8: Exploring the masks you wear
DESCRIPTION
We all wear masks, and we all hide behind them. The very word ‘person’ derives from the latin persona which means an actor’s mask. We wear different masks in different situations. One of our deepest desires is to show our authentic self, but it is also something we resist.
SESSION 9: Where has your wildness gone?
DESCRIPTION
For over 25 years of teaching what has been noticed as that most people are tired and often feel lethargic. What I see is that they have lost touch with their “wildness”. Your wild energy is your life energy, it connects you to nature, to people and it is always joyful.
SESSION 10: Going deeper with your intuition
DESCRIPTION
We all have intuition, but we don’t always listen to it. The intuition knows things and sees things which the rational mind doesn’t know and see. The intuition can help guide you through your life.
