Mindful Magic - 8 Week Course

"It's honestly changed my life... it really has." - Elena Pearce

Mindfulness is often seen as something that you do when you're stressed or depressed. But it's so much more than that. This course will teach you simple, fun and effortless practices that will take your life satisfaction to the next level. 

One of the most universal experiences people have when they take psychedelics is a sense of oneness - a feel of love, interconnection and belonging. We'll be doing exercises to help you experience the same thing without taking the substance. It is such a  relief when the feeling of separation falls away. This course will help you experience that more of the time.

You will learn how to:

• Love and accept every part of yourself.
• Love everyone else.
• Make peace with your past.
• Find joy in everyday activities.
• Overcome insomnia.
• Feel the most peaceful you've ever felt.
• Improve your focus and concentration.
• Feel more positive, optimistic and confident. 
• Overcome depression, anxiety and repetitive negative thoughts.

In the sessions we will be using Big Mind, a modern technique from Zen Buddhism that allows you to switch between different aspects of the self, including transendent states of mind; meditation, including body scans and loving-kindness and I'll be giving you exericises to do at home.
