Awakening Joy
Do you miss the JOY of everyday life? have quite a few disturbing thoughts and a inner dialogue going on? and maybe also a lot of worries?
​
Then this course is for you!
"Awakening Joy - 10 Steps to Happiness” is based on James Baraz’s teachings (which thousands have participated in since 2003) and his book by the same name.
​
What can I expect from the course "Awakening Joy"?
​In this course you will learn to cultivate joy and well-being by use of Mindfulness and Compassion.
​
The course is not a “feel good” course but a “feel everything” course. You will be working with intention setting, mindfulness, gratitude, letting go, forgiveness, compassion and how to embrace challenges and difficult emotions with kindness and compassion.
All in all, you will be cultivating kindness towards yourself (and others) as well as practicing how to marinate in good moments in life in order to build new pathways of joy and well-being in your brain.
​
The course is based on “what you practice grows stronger”, brain plasticity and neuroscience. The neuroscience researcher Rick Hanson says “positive experiences are like teflon for the brain, and negative experiences are like velcro”. So in order for the positive experiences to register in the brain we need 1) mindfulness to put a light on them, and 2) marinate/concentrate on the pleasant moments in life, and thus new neural pathways of well-being can be built in the brain.
We are genetically wired to look out for danger. In this course we will try to help our brain to be on the lookout for the good in life; kind of helping ourselves to see the glass as half full instead of half empty.
