Increase Your Calm While Keeping Your Edge
Your mind has been taken from you.
It has been taken by news that preys on fear.
It has been taken by smartphones notifications.
It has been taken by jobs that demand more work then ever.
It has been taken by economic worry.
It has been taken by a culture that seems almost designed to erode your attention, calm, and willpower.
Make 2017 the year that you….
“This was the hardest, but best thing I have ever done”
T.S., Student of Take Back Your Mind 2015
This course is different than most mindfulness programs. Most teachings on meditation talk about finding calm and peace. Calm and peace are important, and you will attain those for sure, but that that is a side effect, not the goal. The goal is to take back what has been stolen from you: your attention span, your self-awareness, your ability to act from your own will rather than from habit. The Goal is to wake up: to be present, self possessed, and in command of tools and powers you did not even know you had.
Some meditation teachers make it sound like they want you to be dead from the neck down, I want you to be fully alive. Fully transcendent and fully engaged with the world at the same time. The goal of this class is not just to keep your clarity and calm, but to increase your sharpness and edge.If we are going to Take Back Our Minds wile still maintaining a fully engaged life filled with work, family, friends, success, adventure, and joy, we need a program designed with that life in mind – not an approach based on the lives monks or contemplatives and which treats ordinary life as an obstacle. This program treats your ordinary life as a platform for mindfulness, not a barrier to it.
How the course works
Every Monday for three months you will wake up to a recording in your inbox that gives the mind-training instructions I want you to focus on incorporating into your life. Throughout the week you will get additional material such as videos, shorter recordings, quotations, and links to support your progress and place those teachings into proper context.
What are the requirements?
Dedication. That’s it. You need to do it to get the result. This means 20 minutes a day of “cushion time” as a minimum, with other exercises that are woven around things that you already do. You do not need to practice at a particular time every day – but you do need to commit to practice.
