COURSE

The Magic Of Life

Life is magic… and this magic is accessible to each of us, at all times. However, as we grow from childhood to adulthood, our minds become so hypnotized by our thoughts and the constant stimuli of the matrix we live in, that we lose access to the experience of how extraordinary life really is. Fortunately, ancient spiritual teachings, corroborated by recent scientific findings, provide us with powerful ideas and practices that allow us to consciously take our minds out of its patterns of mechanicalness, negativity, and fear and to open us to the direct experience of the magic of life. The goal of this course is to help you recognize the daily miracles that surround you, to turn life’s challenges into powerful teachings, and to make bold steps towards living the highest possibilities for your life. Throughout this course, you will explore various ways to tap into the magic of life such as: embracing the unknown, listening to the wisdom of the body, seeing life as a teacher, practicing gratitude, leveraging the possibilities of the law of attraction, harnessing the power of speech, entering your magic zone, seeing others as part of one big human family, and, finally, surrendering to the flow of life.

Lesson 1

Embracing The Unknown

One of the prerequisites to fully taste the magic of life is to recognize one crucial, humbling fact: that we actually know very little about the unfolding of our life. This can be an uncomfortable reality to step into. Yet it’s precisely when we embrace that we don’t know what we don’t know that we make space for the possibility of authentic experiential discovery, and open ourselves to the growth, wonder, and gratitude that go with it. On Day 1, you will be guided through an exercise to accept the unknown, so as to open yourself to the possibility of a direct experience of the magic of life.

Lesson 2

The Wisdom Of The Body

We often ignore one of the most magical processes in our life: the miracle of our own bodies. Noticing our physical sensations is the gateway to accessing the intelligence of the body, which we also call our intuition. The more we learn to listen to these different bodily signals, the more we can orient ourselves effectively towards what is beneficial to us. On Day 2, you’ll practice the technique of the body scan, in which you focus your attention non-judgmentally on what is happening in your body here and now. You will then use this heightened awareness of your physical sensations to tap into your intuition regarding an important decision in your life.

Lesson 3

Seeing Life As A Teacher

Life is the best teacher. Whenever we’re stuck in a pattern of frustration, it’s as if life were asking us to understand an important lesson, which will allow us to become more conscious. And as soon as we take responsibility for our life’s challenges, they become clear opportunities for growth. The doors to encountering powerful synchronicities are flung open, providing us with guidance on where the magic lies ahead of us. On Day 3, you will improve your ability to learn from the lessons of life. By visualizing a challenging situation in your life, you’ll open a space for receiving any lessons it may be wanting to teach you, and by practicing affirmations, you’ll strengthen your ability to receive its guidance with clarity and gratitude.

Lesson 4

The Power Of Gratitude

We all recognize the magic of life in extraordinary moments. Yet not so easily do we see the magic that lies in the inconspicuous miracles of our daily lives. Fortunately, we can train our minds to see it once again. On Day 4, you will be practicing one of the most powerful daily miracles available to us, that is to transform a mindset of scarcity into a mindset of gratitude for what you have. The more you practice looking at the world through eyes of wonder and appreciation, the more the magic of life will appear to you as obvious and ubiquitous.

Lesson 5

The Law Of Attraction

One of the most magical features of human life is our ability to turn the ideas and images in our minds into material reality. And we can strengthen our ability to create the life we want through the practice known as the law of attraction: the conscious act of focusing our mind on that which we wish to manifest in our lives. On Day 5, you will learn the key to manifesting your desires: the practice of here and now feeling the emotions you wish to attract in your life.

Lesson 6

The Magic Of Speech

As human beings, the stories we choose to tell ourselves and others are so important that they literally shape our experience of reality and determine the choices we make in life. When we commit to using our speech in the direction of truth and love for ourselves and others, we progressively release all limiting agreements we made in the past, and reclaim our power to make our lives magical as well as those of the people around us. On Day 6 of this course, you will practice powerful visualizations and affirmations to use your speech as a way to create a life of freedom, abundance, and love.

Lesson 7

Entering Your Magic Zone

What is your dream in this life? What would you do if you knew that you could not fail? If we stop to consider any one of the moments in our lives that felt truly magical, chances are that they came at the cost of facing something we feared. Thus, the presence of fear can be seen as information regarding where the magic lies ahead of us. On Day 7 of this course, you’ll be practicing a visualization to move from your comfort zone all the way out into your magic zone. Once you’re able to go just behind your fears, a.k.a. your panic zone, you’ll find the place where your dreams can come true.

Lesson 8

Seeing No Stranger

Have you ever stopped to contemplate the fact that behind the eyes of every new person you meet lies an entire universe of perception, emotions, fears, and hopes as deep and complex as your own, and which you know almost nothing about? Choosing an attitude of discovery over one of defensiveness in meeting anyone new opens the door to the magical possibility of connection with whoever crosses our path. On Day 8, you will practice a visualization to help you see others as parts of yourself, and as mirrors revealing the areas in your life where you need the most self-acceptance.

Lesson 9

Faith

To have faith is to surrender to the flow of life, to deeply accept the present moment, and to trust that whatever experience we’re having is precisely what we need to be living in this moment. Through acceptance of what is, we enter into a creative alliance with the universe, in which each moment becomes an opportunity to learn, grow, and appreciate all that we’re given to experience. On Day 9, you’ll practice a visualization to relax into the support you are constantly receiving from life, and to appreciate the fact that you’re always at the right place, at the right time for your personal evolution.

Lesson 10

Course Recap

Throughout this course, we’ve explored different ways that we can welcome more magic into our lives. To name a few, we’ve seen how our ability to see the magic requires our willingness to open ourselves to the unknown. How the physical sensations in our body are the seat of our intuition, and how even unpleasant situations can be life’s way of teaching us important lessons. On the final meditation of this course, you’ll be practicing affirmations to integrate the ideas from this 10-day course, and fully open yourself to the magic of life.

Such great ideas to carry forward. In just there’s ten days I can already tell how my thinking has shifted, although on occasion, in these challenging political times, I forget entirely that life exists outside of these troubles. It’s hard to detach when our leaders are eroding all that is good in civil society. But I will persevere.

Thank you, Jonathan, for another thoughtful and beautifully written course. It really moved me to see life in a new and inspiring way. You were one of the first Insight Timer teachess i found a couple of years ago when I was first learning about meditation, and you truly helped me come to love the practice. Now I can't imagine a day without it! Listening to this recent course felt like hearing from an old friend. Thank you for this excellent course and all the beautiful content you create and share. ❤️
