How to navigate through the Mind Expansion Course

A Different Kind of Journey

Mind Expansion has no daily schedule. No “Day 14” telling you what to do today.
You set the pace. You decide when to move forward. You choose when to circle back.

This freedom is the point. But it can feel disorienting at first. Here’s how to use it.

The Structure

In the App: Find everything under Journeys → Mind Expansion. Three main phases await you:

Eternal Flame – where mental focus replaces muscle work
Connections – exploring how sensation links to sound, body, and beyond
Stairway – breaking through perceived limits

Plus a Breaks section with meditations, excursions, and practices for the spaces between.

On the Website: Each chapter links to deeper reading on mindgasm.net. Science explanations, technique breakdowns, reflection prompts. The app holds the audio. The blog holds the context.

Your Pace, Your Path

The most important shift: you’re not trying to complete chapters. You’re trying to absorb them.

Stay with a chapter for several sessions. Maybe several days. Don’t rush to check boxes. The goal isn’t finishing – it’s internalizing.

Some chapters are practice-heavy. Others are mostly reading and reflection. Some days you’ll want technique work. Other days you’ll want to understand what happened yesterday.

Moving forward doesn’t mean leaving behind. Even after you’ve explored all three phases, you’ll return. A chapter that felt flat in week one might unlock something in month three. Your body changes. Your sensitivity develops. The same audio hits different when you’re different.

When to Move On

Not when you’ve “mastered” a chapter – that’s a trap. Mastery comes from revisiting, not from one perfect session.

Move on when:

You understand what the chapter is teaching
You’ve practiced it multiple times
You feel curious about what’s next

Stay longer when:

Something isn’t clicking yet
You’re still discovering new sensations
You’re enjoying where you are

Both are valid. Trust your gut.

Breaks Are Part of the Practice

The Breaks section isn’t filler. It’s where integration happens.

When your body needs rest from direct practice, breaks offer parallel paths: meditation styles, nature practices, reflections that deepen your understanding without demanding more from your Source.

You’ll know when you need one. A session that feels forced. Diminishing returns. The sense that you’re grinding instead of exploring.

Take the break. There’s wisdom in the pauses.

Timeline Reality

If you practice daily: expect at least one month to move through everything. We recommend 1-3 months.

But “moving through” isn’t the endpoint. Mind Expansion is a library you’ll keep returning to. Phases you revisit. Chapters that reveal new layers. Practices that evolve as you evolve.

The course ends. The journey doesn’t.

The Only Rule

Don’t rush.

Not because rushing is “wrong.” Because rushing defeats the purpose. This isn’t content to consume. It’s capacity to build. Neural pathways to strengthen. A relationship with your body to develop.

That takes time. That takes repetition. That takes showing up again and again, even when progress feels invisible.

Your pace is the right pace – as long as you’re actually practicing, not just advancing.

Welcome to Mind Expansion. Make it yours.
