COURSE

Rewiring Your Mind For Sustainable Happiness

With Dennis Lang

Over this 10-lesson course, we will set the foundation for sustainable happiness. Tools will be provided to understand the effects of energy as it relates to being happy and how our thoughts can be rewired from negative to positive. Several contemplations and meditations are included to help guide your way towards happiness. We will also explore the science of mental practicing, why ingestion is more than food digestion, how to live life with purpose, and how to go beyond just being present by uplifting the moment.

Lesson 1

Happiness As A Baseline For Everyday Living

How is it that in this modern day culture, with all the fruits of technology that happiness is so elusive? In fact, it’s not just elusive, it’s on a downward trend. In this lesson, we will elaborate on what happiness is in today’s world and share our own experiences. Then, we will finish with a guided contemplation on happiness.

Lesson 2

Foundations In Ancient Philosophies

The historic texts and traditions of yoga and meditation established that achieving happiness is our most serious challenge in life. Much of the issue rests within our own minds. Dealing with our mental states and issues, in order to bring calmness and equanimity to our being, is a common theme. We are essentially the same as the ancient people living long ago. But in our case today, our stress triggers and mental challenges are a consequence of technology, lifestyle, and culture.

Lesson 3

Energy Is Everything

Energy is everything is simply a fact of physics. With this as a foundation, we will discuss the empowering nature of energy. How we, as energetic beings, interact and interrelate with the world around us. How we are full and complete as we are and how we define the frequency of our lives.

Lesson 4

The Nature Of The Mind

As noted earlier, it’s all about the mind. Our minds are very busy with a deluge of thoughts, most of which are meaningless, and our awareness is seemingly on autopilot, missing much of life as it flows by. We will present a view of the mind, the components of awareness and how these blend into our experience and perceptions. We will conclude this session with a spacial awareness meditation with instrumental music.

Lesson 5

Sukha Or Dukha (Happiness Is A Choice)

In this lesson, we will discuss the energy of thoughts, feelings, and emotions and how our attitude factors in. In fact, our attitude is a key ingredient of happiness. Life happens whether we are happy or not. It’s our relationship to what happens and how we process situations that determines a positive versus a negative experience. How to examine and shift our attitude is the key point of this lesson. A positive affirmation and gong meditation will end the session.

Lesson 6

The Nature Of Practice

You may not have realized it, but you are practicing right now! We are practicing mentally each moment of our lives. We will explain what we mean and what is the nature of practice. Happiness is like anything else. It takes practice. However, it takes the right practice. This lesson will wrap up with a guided contemplation on practice.

Lesson 7

Ingestion As A Spiritual Practice

We think of ingestion as the process of assimilation of the food we eat. In this lesson, we expand the definition of ingestion to include all five of our senses. As energetic beings, we ingest through all of our senses, through our skin, what we see, hear, taste, and smell. All sensations are sensory data that we ingest and, like it or not, become us. The importance of ingestion relative to our happiness is presented and concluded with a contemplation.

Lesson 8

Living Life On Purpose With Purpose

Connecting to our real purpose that is anchored to our true nature brings richness and authentic focus to our lives. Finding and expressing our real purpose can be a challenge due to all our many years of living under a veil which distorts our view and restricts our connection. In this section, we will discuss how our purpose, or dharma, is related to health, happiness, and longevity. We will close this lesson with an instrumental parable on letting go.

Lesson 9

Is Being Present Enough?

Being present is almost a household phrase these days. It means the basics of mindfulness are becoming broadly accepted or at least understood. In this section, we pose the question of whether being present is enough? In our opinion, being present does contribute toward happiness, but if we uplift the present moment, we will elevate and magnify our happiness and expand happiness to others. We conclude this lesson with an instrumental guided practice.

Lesson 10

To Be Happy Is Both A Decision & A Practice

Now armed with the previous nine lessons, you have the foundation and the tools to be happy. The choice is yours - that’s the ultimate empowerment. Each of us has the power to shift our experiences and create happiness for ourselves. This lesson and the course concludes with a meditative poem, plus a guided imagery meditation with instrumental music.

This was my first step to finding my way to my true self, letting of so many things that I've held on to that were my belief system and ended up causing extreme grief and unhappiness. Now I have to reconnect with the people I love
