A 10 week program using the exercises in Dr. Jim Doty’s book Mind Magic: The Neuroscience of Manifestation as a jumping off point for understanding our role in manifesting our current reality, clarifying what we want, and using meditations on love and compassion, plus repeated visualization and self-hypnosis to move towards the world we wish to create. This will be a welcoming place for all neurotypes. I met Dr. Doty 14 years ago through my work with Stanford’s Center for Compassion and Altruism Research. A good friend of His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama’s, Jim grew up in poverty and initially manifested greath wealth, but also great unhappiness for himself. Thus, he became interested in how we can tap into neuroscience to manifest a reality that’s most aligned with what we want. Scholarships available—let’s have a conversation.
Expected Outcomes for Individuals:
Enhanced Feeling of Safety, Belonging, and Connection. When you take time to take in the good, you decrease anxiety and increase self-leadership.
Recovery from Burnout. Often, not having a vision means that you feel frozen and unable to clarify what you want. When you take time to bathe in all the good you’ve already brought about, and all the good that surrounds you, you are more able to move towards creating the reality that will be most fulfilling for you.
Confident Decision-Making. Too often, imposter syndrome holds us back. Repeatedly visualizing what we want helps us move confidently in the direction of our dreams while ensuring we notice synchronicities (the coincidence of inner and outer reality).
Network-weaving. Often, talking to someone who has taken the courageous step you’re considering taking, or supporting someone by connecting them to a “weak tie” in your network leads to newfound confidence in your own ability to engage with systems change.
Affirmation of and alignment around social justice goals. During this time of collapse, clarifying our social justice goals and vision is critical for manifesting the world we want.
Expected Outcomes for Groups:
Increased Wellness and Mental Health for Employees. For four years, I have been working as a mental health coach for Modern Health, a platform that serves corporations worldwide. I’ve received a Five Star rating throughout.
Conflict Management. For four years, I’ve supported the Richmond Community Foundation with conflict management and have received extremely positive feedback for this.
Alignment Around Social Justice Goals. Jointly manifesting a shared reality is the sine qua non of flourishing teams. These exercises will help you get there.
