BIG FAT HAPPY HEART

A MEDITATION COURSE TO CREATE BASELINE HAPPINESS

This course is your ticket to creating deep, lasting, delicious happiness.

It is one thing to be happy when your coffee tastes just right or the waves are pumping or you meet the perfect partner or child behaves just how you want them to.

But so long as your happiness is dependent on other people and outside circumstances your happiness is out of your control.

It remains elusive. It becomes something we think we have to chase, earn or strive for. Something we hope for.

This isn’t to say you shouldn’t be ravenously happy when your coffee tastes ridiculously good or the waves are off their head, you should be! But I want your happiness to be bigger than that, more consistent and more unconditional. So when the waves go flat you’re still high. When there isn’t enough froth on your cappuccino you’re still smiling. When your kid throws a big wobbly tantrum in Woolies you still feel stable and calm inside.

Here’s what I want for you:

↠ want you to know that real deep sustainable happiness is possible

↠ I want you to know how to create that for yourself regardless of what is going on around you

↠ I want you to realise how powerful you are and that you get to choose how you feel

↠ I want to give you real, actionable, easy to apply tools that will enable you to do all of the above

This course is for you if you:

☯ Enjoy meditation, mindfulness and/or contemplation practices

☯ Are willing to commit to a simple daily meditation practice for 4 weeks (and hopefully even longer after that)

☯ If you’ve drank the proverbial kool aid and you’re not satisfied, you know there has to be a better more sustainable way to feel good

☯ Have experienced pain or suffering and its caused you to realise you want to feel really good and take responsibility for the way you feel

☯ Wish you could bring more compassion, kindness, courage and/or wholeheartedness to each moment in life

☯ Love feeling good and want to feel even better

☯ Want to gather tools that will positively change your life forever

☯ Are a teacher, coach or counselor and you’re interested in broadening your repertoire of skills based on both traditional meditation practices and positive psychology.

In this course we will look at happiness from two complimentary vantages points:

1. Modern neuroscience and positive psychology

How can we actually create lasting change in the neural structure of our brain, giving us a renewed, uplifted experience of our mind and the world?

2. Ancient spiritual wisdom

What does the world's oldest living tradition have to say about meditation and how it relates to sustainable happiness and wellbeing? And how can we use both the mind and the heart, in unison, to create peace and joy?

BASELINE HAPPINESS

So, how do I get happiness if not from an ice cold schooey of my favorite craft beer? Where can it come from if not outside of us?

What a great question!

It just so happens that you don’t have to GET happiness at all. When the inner conditions are just right the wellspring of happiness flows out from your own inner being.

We all, at some point, feel like seekers of water walking through the desert. Thirsty AF.

What these techniques and practices enable us to do is to become the source of the water we spent so long chasing. This happens when:

Our basic human psychological needs (of safety, satisfaction and connection) are met and maintained
The rhythms of our heart and mind align and work together
We focus on what we’re giving rather than what we’re getting
The immediate obstacles to a natural sense of happiness are removed

THEN! Then happiness, joy and ease are the most natural things that can ever happen. You won’t be able to turn the tap of happiness off. You might even start spraying people with it everywhere you go - “oh sorry, I can’t control my happiness, look out, it’s contagious!”

It is THIS that I want to teach you over a 4 week period.

My goal is to not only guide you through these practices and processes during our course, but also to set you up with the knowledge and tools so that you can use them for the rest of your life.

Your brain is designed to give you experiences of happiness, it can produce, itself (meaning without any external stimulation) cocktails of hormones and chemicals so you can feel deeply, delightful and easefully peaceful and happy.

What meditation can offer us is so powerful. It takes us within ourselves so that we can realise that our very nature is joy. It isn’t something that we have to create, but rather something that is already there.

HOW TO ACTUALLY CREATE BASELINE HAPPINESS

I am pretty sure that most of you already know who the “me” who is writing this is. But if you don’t, I’m Mikey, co-founder and co-operator (with the wifey) of Kings Meditation and Mentoring. I have been teaching meditation for 11 years, coaching for about the same amount of time and leading our flagship meditation teacher training program, Fire and Water, for the past 4 or 5 years.

I can see very clearly from my own experience and from working with hundreds of people over the past umpty ump years that happiness is something that naturally arises within peoples experiences under the right conditions.

In all of the work I do I draw most of my inspiration from the natural world, I am a nature lover at heart - hence why Hannah (wife), Nalu (little fella) and I live in an off road, off grid caravan so our life is like one big adventure living WITH nature. Happiness is the nature within us working, it is our body and nervous system communicating messages that the lifestyle we are living, the thoughts we’re thinking and the emotions we are harboring are in alignment with our truest needs and our truest nature. It is easy to write those words, but what isn’t so easy is developing the tools (we should have learnt this at school!) to build a big fat happy heart. It takes support and training to learn how to effectively listen to our needs so we can begin to exist in a way that is in harmony with our nature. That’s the intention behind this course, to get you back in touch with, and operating from, that place of natural peace and ease.

When it comes to how we do the work, it is actually pretty easy. Growing a big fat happy heart is just like going through any process of growth and change, we need to do two things:

1. Minimise the obstacles to happiness and return the mind to its natural state of calm and peace. This includes shifting our detrimental habits of thought and behavior. We call these practices and processes Deconstruction which is all about the dismantling of things that no longer serve us.

2. Growing and empowering the mind and heart so you can live fully, wholeheartedly and unapologetically. We call these practices and process Reconstruction which is all about growing inner states and resources that support you to live your best life.

The course will be a mixture of both Deconstructive and Reconstructive practices.

I really hope you can join us for this training, I know that we are going to have a bloody ball! I mean, how could a course focused on creating a full, smiling heart not be a hoot!
