Chapter 2: Audio Lessons
- 1 Day 1 09:47 min
  
  DescriptionWith this first lesson we will explore the relationships between Gratitude, Awareness & Stillness. Because Gratitude is a function of both the mind and the body, our Awareness plays a critical role in stopping the Momentum of external factors and creating Stillness, the prerequisite for Gratitude.
- 2 Day 2 15:48 min
  
  DescriptionIn this lesson we will begin to cover the main Obstacles to building and maintaining a habit of Gratitude. We will first examine the fundamental Obstacles present in our lives through Inherent Nature - the “built-in” mechanics of both ourselves and the reality which we exist in - and then continue to the 7 specific Obstacles that we encounter in our daily lives and actions. Our goal in this lesson is to become familiar with some of these recurring Obstacles and also develop actions and habits that can prevent or minimize their impact in our lives.
- 3 Day 3 16:00 min
  
  DescriptionThis lesson is a continuation of the previous one on navigating the Obstacles to Gratitude. In it we review the remaining 5 Obstacles of Fatigue, Scarcity, Complaining, Attachment and Cynicism as well the necessary habits one must bring into Awareness to create Stillness and reduce or avoid their impact on creating a grateful state.
- 4 Day 4 15:00 min
  
  DescriptionThis lesson is the first of three designed to help you create your very own, custom Daily Gratitude Practice. We will cover five out of the twelve most powerful and simple daily habits that you can incorporate into your final plan as well as a few examples of actions you can take in each.
- 5 Day 5 15:25 min
  
  DescriptionThis is a continuation of the previous lesson on creating an effective Daily Gratitude Practice.
- 6 Day 6 15:22 min
  
  DescriptionThis is the final lesson on creating a Daily Gratitude Practice and in it we discuss two extra habits that are simple and powerful tools for establishing your Gratitude routine. They are: Finding That Little Something and Fasting.
- 7 Day 7 12:59 min
  
  DescriptionIn this lesson we will search for the Secret Weapon to creating a consistently grateful mindset which is Generosity. They go hand in hand to form what is called a "Virtuous Cycle" - a positively self-reinforcing system that generates a state of abundance and power through a continual loop of giving and appreciating. Our goal in this lesson is primarily to become familiar with Generosity and its relationship to Gratitude. We will also explore why it plays such a critical role in the development of a Daily Gratitude Practice through the Virtuous Cycle.
- 8 Day 8 15:44 min
  
  DescriptionIn this lesson we will continue on the previous one by taking a look at the 6 major resources that we can be generous with: Time, Money, Energy, Information, Trust and Control. By training yourself with Generosity through these six dimensions, you will earn a keen sense of how to use it as The Secret Weapon for masterfully creating Gratitude in your life.
- 9 Day 9 15:23 min
  
  DescriptionIn this lesson we prepare for our final topic by doing a quick review and then looking at the important virtue of Curiosity and its role in sharpening Generosity into the Service of Others. We will also study what it takes to be successful and how success is directly related to the level of appreciation one seeks for their own experience of life.
- 10 Day 10 15:41 min
  
  DescriptionIn this final lesson we review the three main tools we have covered in the course and apply them toward a critically important purpose - creating and maintaining abundant relationships with others. Through Gratitude, Generosity and Service of Others we can manifest lifelong friends, lovers and relationships of all kinds that bring us wealth, health and love through the Virtuous Cycle - saturating our life with countless reasons to be grateful and opportunities for mutual appreciation at every moment.
Chapter 3: Video Lessons
- 1 Lesson 1: Stillness 08:10 min
  
  DescriptionTo create Gratitude you must first create Stillness. Neutralize the Momentum that is influencing you away from a grateful state with breathing, centering or self–talk and from there you can move into appreciation. Remember that Gratitude happens when you have slowed down. If you want more Gratitude in your life, create more Stillness.
- 2 Lesson 2: The 3 Components of a Grateful State 12:06 min
  
  DescriptionThe 3 components of creating a grateful state are physiology, senses and language. All three contribute and influence your overall state. What that means is that you can change your state from three different angles. You can alter your physiology through breathing, dancing or listening to music, for example. Another example is slowing down enough to perceive with your other senses besides vision. Literally try to stop and smell the roses every so often. This creates a state of Stillness and, therefore, Gratitude as you fill up with the experience. The third approach is to evaluate the meaning of a situation and its impact on your state. What you decide something means will determine your state, your actions, feelings, and consequently, your results. If you want to experience Gratitude, you must make a habit of continually framing the world in a way that allows you to see it.
- 3 Lesson 3: Navigating the Swamp 12:20 min
  
  DescriptionThe Swamp is always nearby and it is also unavoidable. The question is not necessarily about how skilled you become at avoiding it, but rather how skilled you become at navigating out of it. You will experience it every day in one form or another – don’t stay too long, and make a habit (or game) out of catching yourself as soon as possible. Give yourself an allotted time to be in The Swamp – like a 2–minute rule for being upset or Complaining – as a buffer, but then work to get back to a grateful state through the habits you have chosen in your Daily Gratitude Practice.
- 4 Lesson 4: Generosity 13:37 min
  
  DescriptionGenerosity is not just about money; it’s about what you give in all of your resources. There is a total of 6: Money, Time, Energy, Trust, Information and Control. Half are measurable and external, and the other half are in the realm of language, meaning and the mind. Pay close Attention to what areas are most difficult for you to be generous, and adjust accordingly. Remember also that you have Generosity Filters that act as reasons and justifications to keep your heart safe, comfortable and avoid risk. These filters guard the Meaningful Threshold – the point at which a generous act will truly make an internal difference for you because of the Principle of Proportion. Balance all of this Courage and risk–taking with Healthy Boundaries and always assess your heart’s degree of openness – keeping an eye on the barometer and avoiding grave imbalances in either direction.
- 5 Lesson 5: The Virtuous Cycle 20:11 min
  
  DescriptionGratitude and Generosity are two sides to the same coin. Gratitude is a state of being, while Generosity is a state of doing. Gratitude is when the heart fills up, and Generosity is when it pours out. To have Generosity you must first be full of Gratitude, and to experience Gratitude you must live with Generosity by allowing life to come in. Together, these two create a Virtuous Cycle that moves upward and magnifies all caught in it for the good. One leads into another, and you cannot have one without the other.
- 6 Lesson 6: Courage 09:47 min
  
  DescriptionBecause Gratitude and Generosity are functions of the heart, being vulnerable and employing Courage are key actions in their development. To be truly grateful is to be vulnerable to the experience at hand, allowing it to fill your heart in the first place. Likewise, to show Generosity and move with an open heart through life is to employ Courage because the world is full of Betrayal, Burnout, Stagnation and Loss – the Four Catalysts of Change. If you want to be successful with Gratitude and Generosity, you must work continually to be courageous and vulnerable – opening the heart and allowing it to do its job of filling up and pouring out.
- 7 Lesson 7: The Principle of Success 15:11 min
  
  DescriptionYour fulfillment in life depends on the level of value you bring to others. This value is one part your combination of skills, and the other part your heart energy. Skills will continually evolve, while heart is either on or off. And while being skilled is an important part of a fulfilled life, people care less about what you know and more about how much you care.
- 8 Lesson 8: The 3 Pillars of Abundant Relationships 13:32 min
  
  DescriptionIf you want to create an abundant relationship with another person, it must first begin with Gratitude at home. When a person can create the Virtuous Cycle of Gratitude and Generosity within themselves, they are ready to engage in a relationship and direct themselves toward the Service of Others. Because Service is the highest value and calling for a life, this applies to all relationships, romantic or otherwise. Remember – it all begins with Gratitude.
- 9 Lesson 9: Awareness 12:41 min
  
  DescriptionWhat you are is the source of Stillness itself, Awareness. This Awareness has the experience of a body, but it is not a body. It has emotions, beliefs, possessions, friends, a name and other things, but it is not those things, either. It’s timeless and changeless, and it has the power to choose. In every moment of every day you are just one choice away from a totally different life and different results because of this freedom. Gratitude is such a choice, and it is a choice that must be freely made every single day.
- 10 Lesson 10: Impermanence 12:58 min
  
  DescriptionAll of life and everything around you is ruled by Impermanence. Ceaseless, unrelenting change that is universal and inescapable. In light of this fundamental Truth we are reminded that the Universe is continually recreating itself – everything is reborn, forgiven and made anew through the law of change. This Impermanence teaches us that life is ultimately short, making every moment profoundly valuable and encouraging us to let go of our suffering to embrace the here and now.
- 11 Lesson 11: The 3 S's of Gratitude 11:02 min
  
  DescriptionRemember these 3 S's as necessary for creating Gratitude in your life: Senses, Stillness and Sharing. When you use your Senses, you quiet the chattering mind and allow yourself to slow down. This creates a state of Stillness which, in turn, allows for the experience of the now to fully settle in. From this place you can take notice of and appreciate the wonder and beauty of life around you. Finally, Sharing this discovery by writing, speaking or expressing it outward solidifies the experience and makes it fully real – benefiting both you and those around you in the process.
- 12 Lesson 12: The Journey 10:59 min
  
  DescriptionCompletion and incompletion are an illusion of the human mind. Ultimate reality is flow, seamlessly transitioning from one thing to the next. With every ending there is simultaneously a beginning and vice versa. In light of this Truth, your real journey with The Gratitude Map begins now. Enjoy the ride, and inspire others to do the same.
Chapter 4: Guided Meditations & Music
- 1 Guided Meditation: Morning Gratitude Practice 14:27 min
  
  DescriptionUse this simple, guided meditation every morning to start your day with stillness, flow and Gratitude. Utilizing gentle background music and several visualization exercises, along with breaks of silence to integrate, this practice offers a dynamic yet soothing experience to ground your day.
- 2 Guided Meditation: Endless Waves 10:00 min
  
  DescriptionDrift away to the gentle sounds of the beach and a simple visualization designed to calm you down and return to Stillness.
- 3 Guided Meditation: Gifts & Tests 10:00 min
  
  DescriptionIn this guided practice, we reflect on an ever-important idea that life is always a gift. I once heard that there are no "bad" days, just good days and hard ones. On the hard ones, we often learn and receive hidden blessings in disguise.
- 4 Guided Meditation: The Flow 11:53 min
  
  DescriptionOne of life's greatest lessons, and repeated often in The Gratitude Map, is that of Impermanence - the ceaseless flow of life from one moment to the next. In this simple guided practice, we connect to this truth to remind ourselves of its wisdom when we change feels overwhelming.
- 5 Guided Meditation: The River of Life 12:00 min
  
  DescriptionIn this visualization, we use the classic metaphor of a river to reflect on life and our relationship to it. There are many things that flow in the river - rocks, sticks and leaves. Which one will you be today?
- 6 Guided Meditation: What Do You See? 06:57 min
  
  DescriptionIn this guided meditation, we draw our focus inward and into the depth of what and who we are. Reflecting on the timeless, changeless and eternal of our being, we return to proper seeing and regain our Awareness.
- 7 Relaxation Track: First Melody 05:01 min
  
  DescriptionFew things are as peaceful and calming as the beach and some waves. Enjoy this mini-vacation to a faraway place.
- 8 Relaxation Track: Heaven's March 03:02 min
  
  DescriptionThere was something about the chords in this piece that made me imagine some sort of procession inside the pearly gates - peaceful, joyful and calm. Enjoy.
- 9 Relaxation Track: Mom's Favorite 04:25 min
  
  DescriptionThis was one of the earliest pieces I composed as a kid and, as you can tell by the name, it went over well with mom. Enjoy.
- 10 Relaxation Track: Rain in Sharps & Flats 04:22 min
  
  DescriptionWhenever I would play just on the black keys, it reminded me of rain falling outside somewhere pristine and peaceful. So I named this track accordingly. Enjoy :)
