Mindfulness Meditation

Learn how to mindfully meditate and get control of your mental state.

Daily meditation will help you to reduce the severity and duration of distressing thoughts, emotions, moods and mind-frames by getting you out of your head and into the present moment. It will give you some space between you and your mental phenomena, allowing you to observe what is happening without falling into it completely.

It will show you that you are not your thoughts, rather that you are the thing having those thoughts. Knowing this is one thing, but experiencing it is quite another. Over time, and with practice, meditation will show you that. It has helped me to think clearer and handle stressful situations and interactions better. It has increased my ability to focus and decreased the symptoms of anxiety and depression, as well as helped me to completely quit sugar and alcohol.

In this course you will learn how to mindfully meditate and to establish it as a daily practice in your life.


Wake Up Earlier, Without Feeling Tired

Reclaim Those Wasted Hours!

You are going to spend a third of your life asleep. Wouldn’t it be great if you could get some of that time back and not be tired?

It is important to remember that there is a healthy balance to be found here. Not enough sleep will leave you tired and irritable. Too much sleep will leave you feeling lethargic and full of guilt for wasting valuable time.

This time could be used for self-improvement, to exercise, to meditate, to read, to grow. You could have more time to spend with your family or to be put towards your business.

In this course you will learn how to get some of that time back – and not suffer in the process!


Poetry For Self Expression

Writing poetry is therapeutic.

As you identify and express your emotional state, you are both detaching from and connecting to your inner world.

By sorting through your thoughts and labelling them with specific words and analogies, you are taking ownership and a step towards growth. By putting words on the page, you are in effect laying yourself bare and cleansing yourself. You are opening up to the possibility of growth.

In this course you will learn how to write poetry as a form of self-expression. I will talk you through four of my poems, deconstructing both the form and style of the piece, as well as provide you with the methods I used to create the poem.

This course is not theoretical, it will not cover the traditional approaches to poetry that you learnt in school. Instead the advice and examples within will be highly practical. You will leave this course with the tools and inspiration necessary to begin writing poetry for yourself, today!

Let’s start writing.


Learn To Lucid Dream: 101

Gain Control Of Your Dreams!

In this course you will learn how to lucid dream - that is the ability to recognise that you are dreaming, and then gain control of the dream.

Once lucid, you can freely explore your subconscious mind, stop nightmares in their tracks, practice for real life events and of course, engage in all kinds of wish fulfilment in a completely safe, internal environment.

This course will cover four basic strategies designed to get you lucid dreaming as quickly and proficiently as possible.

1: Raising Awareness - The act of engaging with lucid dreaming material (like this course) will itself increase your chances of becoming lucid.

2: Dream Journal - Recording your dreams increases your ability to recall your dreams, as well as increases their stability and clarity.

3: Reality Checking - By asking yourself ‘Am I Dreaming?’ you are checking reality. This will translate into the dream world and promote lucidity.

4: Induction Methods - Learn a specific night time induction method that (in some people) instantly gets them lucid.
