COURSE

Freedom From Stress & Anxiety: The Buddha's Teachings For Healing & Happiness

With Tony Myers

Welcome to a transformative 35-day journey into the Buddha’s original teachings for higher levels of inner peace, happiness, and spiritual liberation. Over 2,600 years ago, the Buddha spent 49 days and nights in deep meditation beneath the Bodhi Tree. When he awakened, his discovery became a revolutionary blueprint for healing the mind, understanding suffering, and awakening profound inner peace and happiness. This course reveals that original wisdom — a powerful, step-by-step path for ending suffering and awakening genuine happiness, emotional freedom, and lasting inner harmony. The teachings in this course offer the Buddha’s complete framework for human healing and transformation. They go far deeper than basic mindfulness, guiding you toward clarity, insight, deep emotional healing, and profound spiritual awakening. As you complete all 35 days, you'll be surprised by how deeply effective these teachings are, and how much they can elevate every part of your life — your peace, emotional wellbeing, relationships, and understanding of the mind. Key Teachings You’ll Learn Throughout This Journey First, you’ll learn about the Buddha’s Three Jewels — the Buddha, the Dhamma, and the Saṅgha. You’ll discover the power of the Buddha’s life story, the essence of his teachings, and how a supportive community of practitioners provides safety, guidance, and inspiration on your path. Then, you’ll uncover the true essence of mindfulness as the Buddha originally taught it — and you may be surprised by how different it is from modern interpretations. This understanding transforms meditation into a profound practice of insight (vipassanā) and wisdom (paññā), leading to inner freedom and deep spiritual awakening. Building on this foundation, you’ll cultivate greater awareness, resilience, and emotional well-being through the Four Foundations of Mindfulness (the Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta). You’ll also deepen calm, clarity, and emotional stability through the Ānāpānasati Sutta — the Buddha’s practice of mindful breathing. As your understanding deepens, you’ll experience freedom from stress and suffering through the Buddha’s Four Noble Truths, the cornerstone of his teaching. These truths reveal what most people never understand about why they suffer — and, more importantly, how to stop. Then, you’ll walk the Noble Eightfold Path, a practical framework for living with ethics, concentration, and wisdom. This path guides you toward clarity, balance, purpose, and meaningful direction in every area of your life. Finally, we conclude the journey with the Mahāyāna Buddhist ideal of the Bodhisattva — the embodiment of compassion and service — showing you how your awakening can contribute to a more peaceful and compassionate world. This course is designed for: Complete beginners seeking a clear, authentic introduction to Buddhist meditation Practitioners wishing to deepen their insight and understanding Aspiring meditation teachers wanting a strong foundation in the Buddha’s original teachings For teachers or future teachers, these principles are essential — you cannot guide others confidently unless you understand what the Buddha actually taught. Your Transformation By the end of this 35-day journey, you will have a full toolkit for: Lasting inner peace Emotional freedom and resilience Clear insight into the nature of suffering Confidence, clarity, and a deeper sense of purpose A direct, experiential understanding of the Buddha’s teachings — and how to live them every day for the challenges of modern life.
