Lesson 1

The Secret To Happiness

Today we'll explore a counterintuitive truth: happiness isn’t a destination we arrive at. We'll examine how societal scripts dictate our pursuit of happiness and a practical way to break out of this trap so we can actually live happy lives. You will learn a powerful four-syllable phrase that will help you discern where to put your energy so it yields true happiness & fulfillment. Our meditation will set the stage for the transformative journey ahead.

Lesson 2

Generative Goal Setting

Today, we explore the art of goal-setting through the lens of expansion versus lack. We'll learn to frame our aspirations not as distant peaks to conquer but as pathways to deepen our present experience. You will uncover how to set goals that aren't just endpoints but are catalysts for personal evolution and joy in the now. Our meditation will help you get clear on what goal is worth working toward even if it doesn’t work out.

Lesson 3

Your Purpose Is The Purpose

Day 3 brings us to the heart of fulfillment: Purpose. We will unravel the myth that purpose is something we do and instead realize that true purpose is who we are. By being purposeful, we attract aligned energies and create impactful changes. Today, we'll learn how to embody purpose through intention, transforming our daily actions into expressions of our true selves. Our meditation will deepen this understanding, allowing us to nourish our goals with the essence of our heart's intentions.

Lesson 4

How To Make Life Easy

Today, we start a series of learnings to ask empowering questions that shift our focus from obstacles to opportunities. In doing so, you will overcome self-sabotage and disempowering narratives. Today’s question will help you make life easier and create momentum for you to act on the things that are important to you. The meditation will help envision a path of ease, flow, and effortless momentum.

read more

Lesson 5

A Radical Mindset Shift

Day 5 will help you question your self-imposed limitations. Today's session introduces a potent inquiry: 'What if the opposite were true?' This question can open new opportunities and shift you out of habitual negative thinking. Today will help you turn your 'can'ts' into 'cans', and your excuses into stepping stones. The meditation guides you through a process of challenging your limiting beliefs and invites you to envision an empowering counter-narrative, fostering growth and an expansive mindset.

read more

Lesson 6

The End Of Self-Improvement

Today's session shatters what we understand about self-improvement by asking, "What if nothing is missing?" This lesson will help you overcome the epidemic of self-deficiency and not-enoughness. It will help you embody that your true nature is already complete and whole. The meditation will help you connect with and embody your own perfection and allow the nature of your Soul to unfold in harmony.

read more

Lesson 7

Paradox: Structure Brings Freedom

Today’s lesson starts our journey into paradoxes and how they can be guides to deeper meaning and fulfillment. The first paradox we’ll explore is how structure leads to freedom. You’ll learn the power of commitment, how to lessen decision fatigue, and how to unlock your creativity through constraints. The meditation will help you create a structure in your life that you will be able to surrender into.

read more

Lesson 8

The Only Way Out Is Through

In today's session, we confront the paradox that the path to liberation from pain is through experiencing it. You will learn to embrace "The Obstacle Is The Way," and practice facing challenges rather than avoiding them. In the meditation, you’ll have the opportunity to face your difficulties and work to find the gift hidden within, so you can carry lessons into your life.

read more

Lesson 9

Give And You Shall Receive

In today’s lesson, we explore giving and receiving, a paradox that transcends cultures and spiritual texts. Drawing from karma and biblical teachings, you’ll learn to practice non-attachment and how to give from a place of abundance. In our practice, we’ll use the prayer of St Francis and Metta to cultivate loving-kindness and generosity, not just in thought but in action.

read more

Lesson 10

Practicing Better

On Day 10, you will learn the potent nature of shifting from resisting what is bad to championing what is good. Stated best by Father Richard Rohr's adage, "The best criticism of the bad is a practice of the better.” The meditation today invites you to look at your criticisms and understand them as a protective mechanism. You’ll explore the critical parts within yourself, engaging them in conversation to understand their purpose, and then shift focus being the change you seek to make in the world.

read more

Lesson 11

Transforming Jealousy

On Day 11, you will learn how jealousy can stifle your growth as a key barrier to happiness and fulfillment. I will share my personal experiences with jealousy and how to notice them when they arise. In our meditation, we will work to notice where this energy is showing up in your life so you can transform it. Rooting for others' success transcends 'you vs. me' thinking, inviting a sense of oneness. By doing so, we shift into an energy of abundance and collective joy.

read more

Lesson 12

Clearing Comparison

In today's session, you’ll explore how comparison shows up in your life and look at its potential to disrupt our sense of unity. We will address the habitual patterns of feeling superior or inferior to others and how that creates dissatisfaction and unhappiness. In our meditation, you will practice clearing the one-up one-down comparisons and embrace equality and oneness with all beings.

read more

Lesson 13

Transforming Insecurities

In today's session, you will confront your insecurities head-on and learn where you might be projecting your feelings onto the world. We explore the roots of insecurity, often tracing back to childhood experiences, and recognize the power of owning and transforming these projections. Through guided meditation, you move through a unique exercise to find an insecure shadow part of you. Once you recognize it, you can then work to shift its energy and integrate its lesson.

read more

Lesson 14

Releasing Judgement

On Day 14, you’ll look at the places in which you find yourself judging yourself or others. Well, use the board game Boggle as an analogy that shows how each person has their own perspective. Our work is to first seek to understand them rather than to judge. To do this, we’ll work with the phrase, "It must Make Sense." The meditation will focus on softening judgment towards others and oneself, deepening into understanding and compassion.

read more

Lesson 15

Zone 2 Training

Day 15's lesson draws inspiration from Zone 2 training, an exercise method that emphasizes the importance of pacing oneself for long-term endurance. This approach is a metaphor for life, illustrating how often we sprint through our days. Today you will highlight the areas you are speeding through life and practice slowing down so you can speed up. The meditation will help you cherish the present, absorb life's experiences more deeply, and embrace a more sustainable pace for long-term fulfillment and joy.

read more

Lesson 16

Fulfilled At Your Core

On day 16, I share a personal transformative experience to help describe the essence of fulfillment. The lesson re-emphasizes that true fulfillment and peace arise from within, not external achievements or validations. In our meditation, you will work to recognize and remove your internal blockages to fulfillment, reinforcing the realization that we are inherently complete and connected to a greater whole.

read more

Lesson 17

The Power Of Acceptance

Today's lesson invites you to embrace the art of acceptance, a crucial step for lasting happiness. We explore the concept that everything, including our perceived flaws and challenges, is inherently perfect. This session guides you through recognizing and releasing resistance to life's flow and uncovering the peace that comes from accepting things as they are. We’ll glean wisdom from Parahmahsa Yogananda and Joseph Campbell to accept perfection amidst imperfection.

read more

Lesson 18

Trust and Surrender

Day 18 builds on our practice of acceptance through 'Letting Go and Surrender.' We explore the paradox of planning vs. embracing life’s unpredictability. You will learn how to open to the mystery of the moment and embrace what you don’t know that you don’t know. By releasing our grip on control and surrendering to life’s flow, you will be open to greater alignment, flow, and ease. This meditation will help you release your worries and surrender to life’s unfolding.

read more

Lesson 19

Unconditional Love & Acceptance

On Day 19, we explore how to practice receiving love and support. This lesson focuses on breaking down the barriers that prevent us from receiving unconditionally from another. You will work to let go of the lone-wolf mentality and open up to the nourishment of being welcomed just as you are. Our meditation centers on embracing and receiving love from others and within ourselves, fostering a profound sense of belonging and self-acceptance.

read more

Lesson 20

Ending Needless Suffering

Day 20 offers a reflection on the theme of discontent and how often the little things in life create needless suffering. I share a personal story about a rain jacket that is an example of our tendency to yearn for what we don't have. This session invites us to examine areas of our lives where we feel discontent or engage in comparisons, urging us to shift our focus from wanting to appreciating. Through meditation, we explore the richness of gratitude, recognizing the beauty and fullness in our lives.

read more

Lesson 21

Seek Meaning

In the last lesson of our journey, we explore the profound shift from seeking happiness to seeking meaning. You will work to live the view that life itself is our greatest teacher and learn to embrace every experience as an opportunity for growth. By perceiving life's challenges as lessons, we cultivate inner strength and confidence, turning obstacles into opportunities. This final meditation invites us to honor our journey, growth, and our 'garden of happiness,' recognizing that true fulfillment lies in the meaning we assign to our life's events.

This was an excellent course! It is obvious that Lou put a great deal of thought and care into its creation. I learned a great deal, and it was definitely worth the time and attention it required. I encourage anybody considering this course to complete it in its entirety. It is excellent! I made copious notes and plan to refer to them in the future.

This was such an interesting and engaging course for me. It covers many aspects of the development in finding the happiness that is all around and inside. I liked the pace at which it sort of refocused throughout. Never a dull moment, as they say. Also for me, an incredible exercise in a creative process, pulling out of me my own interpretation and thoughts in a gentle way. Also a very relatable revelation part way through when Lou spoke about the first time he was so deeply affected in meditation. No spoiler alert here. You will get it when you hear it. Thank you so much, Lou, for the gift of this course.

This was a challenging guided meditation. Sometimes I needed to repeat a 'lesson' because these actually are lessons. They helped me better understand myself, how I handle challenges in my life and what I have come to learn from them. As always, I am grateful for Insight Timer introducing me to wonderful meditation coaches like Lou Redmond. Namaste 🙏

Lou uses examples to teach you to see positives in negatives, which has helped me to take on challenges with much more ease. He taught me that seeking to understand people and find gratitude and meaning in everyday things creates a whole new content way of living.

Great course. Love the metaphor of the tree and garden and the daily visualization.

Stephanie

Could not recommend more. I spread the course out and return to it when I could, missing it when I had taken too long a break. Most days I used the teachings and even the meditations as journaling prompts. I could never have predicted how much I would grow and learn about my essential self through this course. Thank you, Lou 🪷

Thank you for the gift of this course. It was very well designed, and the lessons wove together a beautiful overview of how to approach happiness. A lot of reflection, and discovery. Absolutely a course I will be revisiting.

Tom

July 5, 2024

The course is excellent, I have finished day 21 and I believe it is changing my life. The course did not evolve at all in the way I expected, but it is much the better for that. Lou is a great teacher, sharing himself openly. I believe he has also studied a lot and many times he refers to or quotes teachings with attribution to where ideas come from. Some days of meditation it was surprising how relevant the flow was to my daily struggles, showing how to turn challenge into growth. Thankyou for helping me see, learn, experience and grow.

Laura

Lou, I loved this course! I enjoyed making the garden of happiness, being present in the meditations, and how you use real life examples to ground the teachings into my being. Thank you so much! Terrific course! ❤️
