Catalysts for Change
Subscribe to this E-Course

You've probably started many a year with a set of resolutions — large and lofty goals covering all aspects of your life — and then watched them fall to the wayside one by one (often within a week). Perhaps you've written spiritual aspirations for the future or set an intention at the beginning of a new project . . . and you've missed the mark on these, too, as old habits, addictions, fixed ideas, and other resistances have blocked the road ahead. So how do you change you life?

Change is a fundamental premise and promise of the spiritual life. As Sam Keen put it: "The great metaphors from all spiritual traditions — grace, liberation, being born again, awakening from illusions — testify that it is possible to transcend the conditioning of the past and do a new thing."

Sometimes this transformation is dramatic, but more often it comes through small steps. We shift our perspective, for example, and those irksome resistances become pointers to where we need to work. Our challenges become our coaches in perseverance. We seek advice and learn from the experiences of great spiritual teachers about other approaches. What are the best catalysts for change? Daily, simple, and consistent spiritual practices.

Recovery programs say that it takes three weeks to break a habit or start a new practice. Start 2012 by joining us for a 21-day journey on the path of change. Each day you will receive an email with a short reading from a spiritual teacher and a spiritual practice to do to help you firm up your resolve and make small steps for change. Then login to our online Practice Circle to share your progress, get support during times of difficulty, and enjoy the insights of a community of spiritual companions from around the world.

Note: This e-course is back by popular demand; it was previously offered in January 2010 and has been in our on-demand system. If you took the course previously, those emails will be archived on your account page. You can also sign up for this offering if you would like to repeat the program in the company of a Practice Circle.
