IN THIS LESSON: SETTING THE STAGE FOR THE PROCESS

This is a simple course…simple doesn’t mean it’s easy

I recommend:

  • TAKE YOUR TIME, BUT DON’T STRETCH IT OUT SO MUCH THAT YOU AREN’T REALLY DIGGING IN

  • CONSIDER THE ESTIMATED TIME FOR EACH LESSON (listed at the beginning of each lesson)

  • YOU WILL FIND PDFs IN EACH LESSON…TRY THEM OUT AND USE WHAT IS HELPFUL TO YOU

  • DOWNLOAD EACH PDF & PRINT IT OR TRANSFER THE IDEAS TO A PERSONAL JOURNAL

  • IF YOU’RE USUALLY A PERSON WHO READS INFO WITHOUT TRYING THE PRACTICES…CHALLENGE YOURSELF TO TRY EVERYTHING BEFORE DISREGARDING IT AS UNHELPFUL TO YOU

  • DON’T SKIP AHEAD…THE COURSE WON’T MAKE SENSE IF YOU DO

  • THIS COURSE WILL TAKE ABOUT 3-4 MONTHS IF YOU TAKE THE TIME THE PRACTICES REQUIRE

Whatever unfolds, let this be an opportunity to engage in the process of discovery.

"one step at a time" spelled out in scrabble tiles

slow & steady is suggested

minimum effective dose…

MORE IS NOT BETTER…in contemplative practice circles, it is often said that “a little often is better than a lot seldom.”

The point is…integrate a little at a time & it will make a noticeable difference.

Use the “Setting the Stage” worksheet to begin tracking your ACTION STEPS with each section.
