The curriculum
PART 1: Dopamine, the motivational molecule (Day 1 – 3)
Dopamine is your “motivational molecule”: the chemical that lights up when you anticipate a reward, and that drives you to seek out more. And by harnessing dopamine in the correct way, you can leverage it to gain instant, lasting, and unconditional motivation to grow and achieve at your fullest potential. No more feeling demotivated or deflated when life throws you a curveball.
Highlights include:
- The dopamine neurochemical meditation: listen to this first thing in the morning to set yourself up for a whole day of motivation and forward momentum.
- Mastering your cravings: use this 3-minute journaling exercise to discover your unique dopamine triggers, and how to leverage them to feel and perform better in any moment.

- And much more.
PART 2: Oxytocin, the hug drug (Day 4 – 6)
Love, bonding, and intimacy are spiritual experiences – and their gatekeeper is oxytocin, the chemical of profound human connection. When you learn how to regulate your oxytocin levels, you can consciously begin to deepen your bonds with others, and create an abundance of magic moments of closeness and unconditional love.
Highlights include:
- The oxytocin neurochemical meditation: use this meditation for an instant oxytocin glow up – perfect for just before moments of bonding, or social engagements with loved ones.
- Channeling unconditional, unshakable love: this exercise helps you embody pure love for another person, regardless of the blockers or conflict you might be experiencing with them.

- And much more.
PART 3: Norepinephrine, the attention focuser (Day 7 – 9)
If you’ve ever struggled to stay focused, alert, and productive for as long as need to: norepinephrine is the chemical you want. By learning how to naturally trigger this chemical, you’ll have unlimited access to a source of natural “inner caffeine” that helps you get more done in less time – without so much of the usual stress and frustrations.
Highlights include:

- And much more.
PART 4: Serotonin, the satisfaction molecule (Day 10 – 12)
People who enjoy high levels of emotional wellbeing and fulfillment also have high levels of serotonin. That’s because this chemical – produced in the base of your brain – works with dopamine to make you feel good, while also protecting you from the ravages of angst, impulsive thoughts, and negative thought patterns.
Highlights include:
- The serotonin neurochemical meditation: some people use synthesized drugs for a serotonin boost – but you won’t have to with this meditation, which leaves you with a natural all-day glow.
- Your personal serotonin triggers: discover what really makes you feel like a million bucks, and how to leverage those triggers to feel even better.
- The 8 keys to happiness: experiment with these daily practices to keep your serotonin levels high, no matter what’s going on inside you or around you.
- And much more.
PART 5: Nitric oxide, the intensity powerhouse (Day 13 – 15)
Nitric oxide is the chemical of focused intensity: as in it helps you show up in your daily life fully and enthusiastically, ready to perform and create at your highest potential. This wonder chemical also has a host of other benefits, including improving your brain’s neuroplasticity (your ability to absorb new information and patterns), and even boosting your immunity.
Highlights include:
- The nitric oxide neurochemical meditation: awaken your fullest passion, energy, and focus – and prepare to embrace the day in a peak state of calm yet unstoppable intensity.
- The nitric oxide breathing technique: need a burst of intensity and vigor? Shift your breathing in this simple way, and watch it kick in instantly.

- And much more.
PART 6: Beta endorphin for body ecstasy (Day 16 – 18)
Pain and physical discomfort can wreak havoc on your emotional states and your productivity: and beta endorphin is the chemical you need to eliminate it naturally, so you can return to a state of full-body bliss. Beta endorphin is three times stronger than synthetic morphine, yet countless times better for you.
Highlights include:
- The beta endorphin neurochemical meditation: use this soothing meditation to instantly vaporize pain, or to guide your body into a state of wellness you can feel in every cell.
- Healing from within: if you’re searching for freedom from painkillers or other pain-relieving medication, learning how to harness your beta endorphin could be your turning point.
- Crafting a pain-free life: try these easy daily practices to enter a lasting neurochemical state of high resilience to pain and physical discomfort.
- And much more.
PART 7: Anandamide, the bliss molecule (Day 19 – 21)
Marijuana is natural, but nothing’s more natural than a bliss-inducing chemical produced by your own brain. Anandamide is a gateway to the kind of joy that makes you smile for no reason, feel pleasure in its purest form, and express gratitude for yourself and your life. It’s associated with high levels of the theta and gamma brainwaves, typically found in veteran meditators.
Highlights include:
- The anandamide neurochemical meditation: flood your body with unconditional joy and ecstasy, as you release all the negative thoughts and patterns that disrupt your bliss.
- The blissful symbolism exercise: create your very own symbol of ecstasy, and use it to drop into a state of pure bliss just by looking at it.
- The best exercises for bliss: all exercise is good for your emotions, but these ones are specially designed to ignite your bliss neurochemical in a flash, and leave you feeling ecstatic.
- And much more.
PART 8: Integration and continuing your journey (Day 22)
In the final step of your journey, you’ll discover how to shift your ecstatic states into permanent traits that you can call on for life. By practicing your new skills, you’ll be able to induce bliss, peace, and flow at the snap of a finger – and even without descending into deep meditation. In other words, a Mystic Brain is yours forever: and you’ve awakened to a whole new way of life.
Highlights include:
- An easy-to-follow post-program game plan: follow these steps to continue growing and glowing, long after the program is over.
- How to heal your traumas: unhealed trauma is one of the biggest blockers of spiritual and emotional growth – and by addressing yours in the right way, your path to ecstasy will be far clearer.
- Advanced practices for transcending to the next level: there are various levels to bliss and ecstasy – and if you’d like to go even deeper after completing the program, you’ll have a variety of generous options ahead of you.
