There’s a book that’s quietly changed lives for nearly 50 years. You won’t find it on every bestseller list, but those who discover it tend to return to it again and again. The book is called A Course in Miracles. For many, it’s more than just a spiritual text—it’s a companion, a teacher, and a lifeline.
HappiSeek was built with A Course in Miracles in mind. The language, the approach, and the entire structure of our app reflect the values and wisdom this Course has brought to countless spiritual seekers. If you’re new to the Course or curious about the connection, we’d love to share a little of its story—and how it helped shape ours.
What is A Course in Miracles?
A Course in Miracles, often referred to simply as “the Course,” is a spiritual guidebook that teaches people how to return their minds to peace. It was written by psychologist Dr. Helen Schucman, who claimed she received the material through a process of inner dictation from a voice she identified as Jesus. Whether you take that literally or metaphorically, the result is a body of work that speaks directly to something deep within.
The Course teaches that most of the pain and fear we experience is the result of misperception. We see ourselves as separate, unworthy, or under attack, and from there, it’s easy to fall into anxiety or conflict. The Course gently helps undo those false beliefs and reconnect us with what it calls our “right mind”—the part of us that knows love, joy, and peace as our natural state.
It isn’t a religion and doesn’t belong to any group. People from all backgrounds read it. Some follow it closely. Others dip in when they need perspective. There’s no right way to do it.
Ten Characteristics of the Spiritually Awakened
Near the end of the Course, in a section called the Manual for Teachers, it outlines ten qualities that begin to develop in those who sincerely practice its teachings. These are the signs of someone who is awakening to their true nature. They aren’t commandments or steps to be mastered. They’re more like spiritual side effects that naturally emerge as fear fades away.
Here they are:
-
Trust
-
Honesty
-
Tolerance
-
Gentleness
-
Joy
-
Defenselessness
-
Generosity
-
Patience
-
Faithfulness
-
Open-Mindedness
Each of these qualities reflects a more peaceful, centered way of living. When we trust more, we worry less. When we’re honest, we stop hiding from ourselves. When we’re open-minded, we make room for healing to happen.
At HappiSeek, these ten characteristics became the foundation for everything we built.
The Ten Doors of Enlightenment
When we first envisioned HappiSeek, we didn’t want to create just another meditation app. We wanted to build something that actually helps people shift—something that guides you, softly and safely, into a new experience of yourself.
So we turned these ten characteristics into ten metaphorical “doors.” Each door represents one of the Course’s enlightenment themes. Behind each one are three guided hypnotherapy sessions designed to help you live that quality more deeply.
There are sessions to help you return to your natural state of trust. To reconnect with joy. To soften into patience. To meet your higher self. To let go of defenses you didn’t even know you were holding.
In total, there are 30 sessions, each crafted with care, backed by years of spiritual teaching, and designed to create real, internal change.
Why Hypnotherapy?
The answer is simple: it works.
Hypnotherapy has been studied for decades and consistently shown to help reduce stress, anxiety, and emotional pain. In fact, research confirms that hypnosis can increase happiness, emotional resilience, and even the brain’s ability to rewire limiting patterns.
Think of hypnotherapy as guided meditation with deeper access. When you enter a relaxed state, your conscious mind takes a step back. You’re no longer as locked into old stories or fear-based thinking. That’s where change becomes possible. Not by force, but by allowing.
Each HappiSeek session is written and voiced by Cynthia Morgan, a board-certified hypnotherapist with more than 30 years of experience in clinical and spiritual hypnotherapy. These are not generic scripts. They are personal, purposeful, and rooted in a deep understanding of the mind’s ability to heal.
Will You Feel More Enlightened?
It’s not a matter of if, but when.
If you go through these sessions with even a little openness, something will shift. You might begin to see a difficult relationship differently. You may feel lighter, calmer, or more grounded. You might cry. You might smile more. You might sleep better. You might forgive someone you’ve held resentment toward for years. That is enlightenment. Not lightning bolts or halos, but inner change that leads to a more loving experience of life.
We believe it’s impossible to go through this process and not be changed by it.
And we’ve seen it happen again and again.
Awakening Your Inner-Teacher
So many people today feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck. The world can feel noisy, unpredictable, and lonely. But healing doesn’t require huge leaps. Sometimes, it starts by sitting down, closing your eyes, and listening.
A Course in Miracles reminds us that we don’t need to find peace. We need to remove the blocks to it. That’s what HappiSeek is designed to help you do—through your breath, your intention, your willingness, and your quiet moments with these sessions.
Every time you open a new door, you’re opening a new possibility for healing.
We’re honored to walk that journey with you!
Ready to begin? and start with the first door. One small step toward joy, peace, and the self you’ve always been.
