COURSE
How To Change Your Mind
With Karim Rushdy
Our mode of mind as we move through the world can either help or hinder our progress, nourish or deplete our energy, and be the cause of great joy or suffering in our lives. Every perception, every thought, every emotion, and every sensation is experienced through the lens of “being” or “doing”. Over 5 short lessons, we will explore what modes of mind are and how they shape our self-image, relationships, and worldview by influencing our biases, beliefs, and internal narrative. By the end of the course, you will have learned the difference between being and doing modes of mind, how to identify which mode you are in at any given moment, and how cultivating mindfulness and the ability to shift between modes can have a profound impact on your health and wellbeing.

Extremely well presented at a pace which allows the listener to absorb. The concepts really struck a chord and resonated in me. The exercise on day 2 describing how to shift from doing mode to being mode was so simple yet deeply impactful. The course has brought to light my dissatisfaction with aspects of my life and shown this is due operating in driven-doing mode, constantly trying to achieve or ‘belong’ to feel relevant. For a few years I have been striving to find a better path and Karim’s insight really has confirmed how I might go about making the change and staying on track. Thanks Karim.

Very helpful course, creating an expansiveness and clarity by cultivating awareness of limiting mental habits and offering a shift to being mode.

I found this course extremely helpful, so much so that I even listened to the last lesson twice, taking notes the second time. For me, the perspectives and practices were (are) life-changing and I'm already applying them. This may be a must-DO (<grin>) course for those who are still in DO-ing mode and want to learn how to BE more in BE-ing. Thank you, Karim.

I found the difference between being mode and doing mode very interesting. I'll be looking into this further, as well as seeing my thoughts as just thoughts, not facts.
