Sometimes the hardest part of uncertainty is everything your mind does to protect you from it.
You may worry about someone you love, replay a painful conversation, or find yourself anxious about the changes that come with aging and what the future may hold. Before long, a single concern has grown into a whole world of anxious thoughts, leaving you more troubled than when you began.
Imagine recognizing when fear, worry, or self-doubt has drawn you into one of these spiraling stories… and being able to find your way back to peace and steadiness regardless of your external circumstances.
For nearly 50 years, Richard Moss, MD, has guided people around the world in exploring consciousness, emotional healing, and spiritual awakening. A former physician and author of seven books, Richard brings together Western psychology and Eastern contemplative wisdom with an uncommon sensitivity to the challenges of being human.
Join Richard for a free online event, where he'll reveal how fear can become an ally in spiritual awakening, and introduce a practical approach to meeting fear with greater tenderness toward yourself, and less anxiety over what you can’t control.
At the heart of his teaching is a powerful insight: when an uncomfortable feeling arises, the mind often rushes to explain it, escape it, or anticipate what might happen next.
Through his Mandala of Being, Richard will introduce a beautifully simple yet powerful map of the four directions your attention can travel: Me, You, Past, and Future. You'll learn to recognize them in the moments when you're criticizing yourself, resenting someone else, reliving a regret, or worrying about tomorrow.
And here’s where the real transformation begins. Once you recognize where your mind has taken you, you can begin to find your way back.
You'll explore the quiet wisdom of the body, which remains in the present even when your mind has wandered elsewhere. Your breath and physical sensations can reconnect you with what Richard calls the Ground of Being — a deeper sense of presence that you can return to even when your thoughts and emotions are unsettled.
During a guided experience with the Mandala of Being, Richard will invite you to explore the relationship between your thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations. With gentle attention to your body and breath, you'll have an opportunity to experience the difference between being caught in a story and what you notice when you gently bring your attention back to the present.
You’ll also explore what it means to meet fear with curiosity and compassion, discovering how fear itself can show you where your attention has gone and guide you back to the present.
And you'll begin learning how to bring these insights into the moments that matter: when you're lying awake at night, feeling hurt by someone you love, navigating the changes of aging, or facing a future you can't predict. Even when the circumstances remain difficult, your experience of them can begin to change.
