Appreciating What It Means To Be Human

Have you ever entertained the thought that you get to the end of your life and suddenly realize what you’ve been taking for granted? When people approach death, they sometimes experience profound insights into what it really means to be human, but why wait until then?

Humans have arguably the most potential of any creature in the known universe, yet many of us live limited lives, never fully appreciating what it means to be human. Most of us are endowed with miraculous bodies, amazing minds, powerful emotions, and wonderful senses, and we live on this awe-inspiring planet. Caught up in our busy lives it’s so easy to lose contact with our bodies and senses. Lost in thought, we often take the miracle and wonder of life for granted. Leonardo Da Vinci noted that a typical human, “Looks without seeing, listens without hearing, touches without feeling, eats without tasting, moves without physical awareness, inhales without awareness of odour or fragrance, and talks without thinking.”

This 10-day course will take you on a journey of exploration and appreciation. Each session includes a brief talk followed by a related guided practice.

I loved this course: the knowledge on each topic and then the meditation to help us be aware of it.
Gratitude was weaved into everything showing us how important this attitude is in our health wellbeing and happiness.
I will listen to it again many times.

Wonderful course enjoyed it. Another step closer to me becoming my highest self

Thank you for this course, Paul! I found each session insightful, soothing, bringing helpful perspective on this human existence from many angles. I plan to do it again, once I give this first time through a bit of time to settle in and marinate. 🙏🏼👍
