As a result, you’re able to tap into Spirit and expand your inner resources of love and compassion.A transformative writing practice takes skillful inquiry, as well as the kind of discipline we usually associate with other practices dedicated to spiritual growth.

And others find that compelling, as they also yearn for more freedom and integrity in how they engage.When we sense someone is integrated and at peace with themselves, we trust them more and are drawn to interact and work with them.People respond more powerfully to someone who is clear, authentic and whole.What You’ll Discover in These 7 ModulesDuring this 7-part transformational intensive, Mark will guide you through the fundamental skills and competencies you’ll need to create a daily writing practice that cultivates a more authentic, self-aware and spiritual you.Each contemplation and training session will build harmoniously upon the next so that you’ll develop a complete, holistic understanding of the practices, tools and principles you’ll need to sustain your spiritual writing practice.You’ll emerge with:Deeper access to your spiritual identityGreater understanding of your authentic desiresEnhanced ability to discern the ego’s voice from your soul voiceA wider angle lens on your “life myth”An inner refuge that you can turn to for wisdom and adviceGreater freedom from shame related to your shadow (and understanding of its wisdom)A higher comfort level with your secret passions and fearsIncreased discernment about where fear is blocking desire in your lifeA non-dual approach to desireA more profound understanding of your personal source of meaning and purposeThe ability to focus your intentions, stop procrastinating and practice discipline with kindnessTools for healing from deep wounding in your lifeExpanded access to your personal and creative geniusDeepened ability to express your innate gifts in the worldModule 1: Who Am I?Accessing Your SoulEvery life is a work of fiction. Behind your worldly mask is an essential self — a soul identity — whose powerful voice communicates your unique truth and deepest desires. Many of us suffer from mistaken identity. Until we access this soul awareness, we’re split off from our own true nature and distanced from our gifts, passion and purpose. In this module, we’ll be exploring the gap in our lives between how we show up in our writing (and the world) and our true authenticity, and how to examine it through self-inquiry.You’ll discover how to:Gain access to your soul identityIdentify your authentic desiresDiscern the ego’s voice from your soul voiceListen to creative counsel from withinConsider your life myth from a soul perspectiveModule 2: The Secret LifeFinding Your Inner RefugeThe first step toward authenticity is surveying your secret life. Without exception, each of us has one — that vicinity of self that is yours alone — filled with memories, totems, obsessions, longings, dreams and vulnerabilities. This inner refuge contains a wellspring of inspiration and self-discovery. The soul loves specificity, intimacy and subjective uniqueness. In this module, we’ll be inquiring into our own secret lives, and how they provide us with wisdom and balance.You’ll discover how to:Build an inner refuge of wisdomExamine the obstacles to this refugeTranscend shame about your shadowConnect with shadow wisdom (this is where the juice is)Identify your secret passionsModule 3: Fear & DesireLiberating Your True PassionsThe tension between fear and desire determines your quality of life. To live passionately, you must learn to walk this edge between both. But how is this possible? Our impulse toward control often prevents us from venturing through fear toward our deepest longing. How can you surrender control and abandon yourself to desire (without hurting others in the process)? When is it wise to listen to fear? Why are you afraid of things you crave (and vice versa)? In this module, we’ll be looking at the interface between fear and desire: how we walk the line — and sometimes tumble over it into passion — and the role of moral conditioning in the dance.You’ll discover how to:Identify where fear arisesIsolate where fear blocks desire in your lifeStep outside the moral matrix that binds soul to egoPractice the “art of abandon”Understand a non-dual approach to desireModule 4: The Quest for MeaningFinding What Truly Matters to YouFrom a soul perspective, what does your life really mean? Do you wonder whether you matter or not, and for what purpose you have been born? Our quest for meaning is hardwired in us. “We tell ourselves stories in order to live,” wrote Joan Didion, and from these stories, we derive meaning. Without meaning, life’s tribulations lose their power to transform us. As Viktor Frankl famously taught, suffering without meaning equals despair (S-M=D). In this module, we’ll look at what our existence means (to ourselves and the world), where our sense of purpose comes from, and how to harness our energies to reach higher goals.You’ll discover how to:Locate your personal source of meaningOvercome obstacles to meaning in your lifeStrengthen your commitment to purposeConnect your personal meaning to the greater goodReconstruct your life myth to accommodate authentic meaningModule 5: The Mystery of LoveDeepening Your Intimate RelationshipsWhen Viktor Frankl was in Auschwitz, it was the hope of seeing his beloved wife again that gave his life meaning. The power of love enabled this great psychiatrist to survive. Love is the greatest mystery — our very reason for being. Why, then, can it be so enigmatic, unstable, unpredictable and challenging? The answer is that love is a practice. Like every practice, it is often difficult and requires discipline, commitment and tolerance of discomfort. This is how love yields its joy, “against the grain,” in the Buddhist saying. In this module, we’ll be using our writing to plumb the mystery of love in its myriad varieties — passionate, platonic and familial.You’ll discover how to:Access your soul’s power to loveHeal from breaches of love in your lifeAppreciate the variety of love relationships you haveAccept the shadow in loveReaffirm love for your precious existenceModule 6: Intention & PowerCreating From Your Inner SourceeThe soul is a power source. We plug into this source through intention, which shapes and guides us through life, holds our aim, and keeps us on our path. The world is full of brilliant people whose lives would improve dramatically if only their intentions were focused. Without concentrated intention, creativity suffocates and dies. Manifestation requires single-mindedness. In this module, we’ll learn practices for focusing and strengthening our intention in order to reach our goals.You’ll discover how to:Focus your intentionsFind the path of least resistance to what you desireStop procrastinatingPractice kind and consistent disciplineCommit to your own dreamsModule 7: Awakening GeniusDiscovering Your Unique GiftEach of us is born with a unique gift. The Romans called this gift our “genius,” and explained that we come into this world with a “tutelary deity” that guides us toward our own fruition. The deity is our soul itself. When we free this soul, we liberate our inherent creativity and the inborn offering waiting to be born. If you do not offer your gift to the world, it will never truly exist. But what is your particular genius? What will the flowering of your soul be? In this module, we’ll learn about efflorescence (what Christian mystics called “viriditas”) — poet Dylan Thomas described it as the “force that through the green fuse drives the flower” — and how we fuse with this power in daily life.You’ll discover how to:Identify your personal geniusUnderstand what its voice is telling youFuse with your creative geniusManifest the gifts you were born withConnect these gifts with the world around youSalepage : Writing to Awaken with Mark MatousekPurchase Writing to Awaken with Mark Matousek courses at here with PRICE $297 $85
