Eastern Philosophy in Treatment

The root cause of anxiety, depression, trauma and addiction is negative thoughts. Negative thoughts come from our Ego.  Ego has no concept of here and now. Ego will constantly take you to the past and future, causing you to feel powerless, shameful and fearful. No matter how hard you try, your condition does not improve, and no amount of medication can help you deal with your Ego!

At Zen Institute, you will spend a lot of time examining your Ego. You will learn to tame your Ego by connecting to your power source, your authentic self (Inner Twin). Once you are connected with your inner twin, you will immediately feel safe and loved. Then you will be able to move forward!

“Success is as dangerous as failure.
Hope is as hollow as fear.”

“Whether your go up the ladder or down it, your position is shaky.  When you stand with your two feet on the ground, you will always keep your balance.”

“When we don’t see self as self, what do we have to fear?”  “Love the world as yourself; then you can care for all things.”

-Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
