CARY BAYER'S WORKSHOPS: IN-PERSON AND TELECLASSES
1. Prosperity
A. “The Secret of Money: How to use the Law of Attraction for Financial Health & Wealth"
This workshop teaches you how to take advantage of the Law of Attraction to prosper. What aerobics does for your body, Prosperity Aerobics does for your mind. It liberates you from money worries, overcomes family money patterns, transforms the Money Rejection Complex, and reconnects you to the Universe's abundance. "Breakthrough Coach" Cary Bayer draws from his popular Prosperity Aerobics book to offer a 20-minute daily inner workout to overcome dysfunctional thinking and behavior that creates dramatic breakthroughs in your earning, saving, spending and investing. Moreover, he presents this class joyfully, with wit and humor, enabling you to transform the charged topic of money in a spirit of fun and play.
B. "Spirit and Money: Prospering by Doing what You Love"
This class helps the millions of spiritual seekers to heal the erroneous separation that so often exists in their minds between Spirit and money. Most importantly, Spirit & Money author Cary Bayer teaches how to use your God-given talents to attract revenue streams by doing the work that you love--your dharma (the work that you’re here to do). This can, in time, turn a tolerable livelihood into a passionate lovelihood. It also shows you how to make a larger cut of the millionaire pie available to you in our abundant universe; shows you how to prosper through giving and forgiving; and gain 200 percent of Life’s spiritual and material riches. It also teaches you a prayer that you can use on a daily basis to help create unexpected income.
Finally, it helps empower those who are already doing what they love to market their services more effectively by learning the holistic art of marketing, and come to see that selling itself, when it’s done from the heart, can be graceful and as innocent as child's play.
C. “How to Discover and use your Money Mantra”
At many of the 20,000 meals you ate growing up in your parents' home, you imbibed their beliefs about money-many of them quite
disempowering. Taken together, the most negative thoughts from your mother and the most negative from your father create your own
Family Money Lie about money.
Your Money Mantra, on the other hand, is the empowering message that turns this lie on its head and enables you to transform your
family's limiting message and begin creating the financial abundance you were born to enjoy.
In class, Prosperity Aerobics author and Money Mantra Meditation founder Cary Bayer will help you develop your own personal
Money Mantra. Moreover, he'll show you how to use this powerful message at home on a daily basis to more quickly attract such
prosperity into your life.
2. Purpose and Personal Power
A. “How to Find and Live Your Purpose"
In this workshop, How to Find & Live your Purpose author Cary Bayer helps you gain a clear sense of the reason you are here and the important role you have to play in life. It will teach you of your two-fold purpose: your spiritual (or inner) work, as well as your material (or outer) work.
It will also help you discover a service that you can provide for others that grows organically out of your heart and soul. This activity is deeply enjoyable for you, and brings your God-given talents into the world. This work can also bring a revenue stream into your life (perhaps part-time for now) that can augment your current income stream and perhaps, in time, become a mighty river to replace it.
B. “How to Overcome Procrastination NOW”
In this valuable class, How to Overcome Procrastination NOW author Cary Bayer offers procrastinators tools to immediately overcome habits of delaying actions that cause untold suffering, loss of money, and lack of success. It includes interactive one-on-one processes that help procrastinators isolate the causes of their behavior. The class provides mental, emotional, and behavioral techniques that empower a dynamic life filled with achievement and peace. Methods include a behavior modification process based on an enticing weekly reward, appealing to the inner child, that offers win/win scenarios for procrastinators and everyone else whose lives they touch. Most of all, this fun procrastination game dramatically transforms how one feels about the activities that one procrastinates—morphing what had been stress and anxiety into pure pleasure.
C. "How to Change your Mind for Good: The Enlightened Use of Affirmation"
Affirmations can be read, spoken, or listened to--all for useful effect. This workshop will teach Affirmation Meditation, a 15-minute written practice that’s probably the most holistic way to use affirmation. The reason for this is simple: its three-step approach to each repetition includes the release of a negative thought that prevents the affirmation from manifesting. It also provides a new affirmation to transform that limited thought and shed light on the darkened part of the mind that could have held such a small belief in the first place. The workshop will teach students how to master each of the practice’s vital three steps.
Participants will also learn valuable affirmations for five areas of their lives: money, career, relationships, communication, and their inner spiritual journey.
D. "How to Stay Inspired during Economic Downturns: Learning the Motivation Aerobics"
When most everyone around you in a slowed-down economy is either scared or depressed, it's more challenging --and more important--than ever to stay inspired. But often that can be easier said than done. Unless, of course, you have an inner program to practice that keeps you motivated and focused. That's exactly what you'll learn in this valuable workshop to clarify your goals, keep you on track to realize those goals, and to not only not be dragged down by others, but to awaken your inner lighthouse to inspire not just yourself but everyone around you.
3. Relationships and Communication
A. "The Secret of Successful Relationships: How to Use the Law of Attraction to Draw More Love into Your Life"
In a relaxed and enjoyable way, this interactive workshop, by Relationships 101 author Cary Bayer, teaches people how to take advantage of the Law of Attraction in their relationships. By falling deeper in love with themselves, they can magnetize others and create ideal loving relationships. The class also provides an immensely valuable inner workout for enriching all relationships. Couples learn how to deeply appreciate each other on a daily basis, rooting out the major cause of marital strife and divorce. Singles use these exercises to enhance self-esteem and communications skills.
Students are enlightened on boundaries, and taught how to defend against those who'd abuse them. They'll learn how to write a three-part Completion Letter, which sets them free from the pain of holding a grudge, and helps them complete emotionally unresolved situations. This powerful technique of forgiveness can bring life back to lost relationships. Freeing themselves from such emotional toxicity opens the door for unexpected new relationships to dawn, and enriches the ones participants are already in.
B. "Looking for Love in all the Right Places: How to Attract a Mate"
This workshop teaches singles how to fall in love with themselves, the basis for attracting a mate. In a fun way, Relationships 101 author Cary Bayer shows how to transform negative relationship patterns, and how to become magnetic to others, while learning the six steps for securing more good dates and a lively dating life. It also teaches a powerful forgiveness technique, opening space to attract the relationship of your dreams.
C. “How to be at Peace with Anyone”
Rare is the person who doesn’t have unresolved issues with an ex-spouse, parent, boss, current spouse, deceased parent or ex-boss, for example. People also spend thousands of dollars in therapy trying to resolve these conflicts.
Have you ever noticed that people who resemble the person or people who you’re incomplete with have an uncanny knack for showing up in your life in different guises? That’s no accident. This workshop will provide the theoretical framework to understand the role these people play in your life.
This highly practical workshop also comes equipped with a systematic, three-step Completion Process that frees you of the toxic energy and heavy weight that you’ve been carrying around for all these years.
In this class, you’ll make tremendous progress toward finishing the first two of these three steps that are vital for your physical, emotional, and financial health, and will enable you to become at peace with anyone you’ve ever known.
D. "Conscious Communication"
This class teaches vital techniques to speak and listen effectively. In a relaxed and even playful manner, Conscious Communication author Cary Bayer shows how to safely tell the truth quickly and kindly, and stop withholding communications that you really need to make. It offers regular exercises that enable you to get closer to the important people in your personal life, as well as to colleagues at work. Lastly, it will teach a powerful technique of forgiveness, that can bring life back to virtually any relationship.
4. The Meditation & Enlightenment Series
A. “Follow your Yellow Brick Road: Awakening Courage, Compassion & Wisdom
for the Journey Home”
In this highly interactive workshop, Follow your Yellow Brick Road and Zen Teachings of Oz author Cary Bayer helps you gain momentum on your inner journey to Enlightenment. Moreover, it offers a “Yellow Brick Road”-a series of daily inner exercises inspired by The Wizard of Oz-that returns you to your true “home,” your Higher Self, or inner Spirit within.
The workshop awakens valuable qualities for your inner journey: courage, desperately sought by the Cowardly Lion; compassion, which the Tin Man sought; wisdom, the Scarecrow's longing; and the innocence embodied by Dorothy that overcomes negative influences and attracts great support from the Universe.
The workshop helps you realize that no wizard or guru has all the answers to your quest; but with the facilitation of a Good Witch (Therapist, Guru or Coach), you can find those answers as you find your way home to peace. These essential qualities are awakened through interactive processes that include one-on-one verbal dyads and journaling. You'll gain a much clearer understanding of where you are on your journey, and what areas you need to work on to speed up your progress. In a delightful and fun way, this workshop provides tools to help make the dreams that you dare to dream come true.
B. “Zen Teachings of Oz”
In this enlightening class, Zen Teachings of Oz author Cary Bayer reveals that The Wizard of Oz, one of the most beloved films ever, abounds with spiritual truths. Once you understand that Dorothy's adventure Over the Rainbow is a metaphor for her inner journey, you'll discover where you are on your path. You'll also learn a breathing method to provide a taste of the
place within where troubles melt like lemon drops.
The class showcases a key principle of healing discovered by Depth Psychologist C. G. Jung: namely, that what you resist persists. Dorothy resists Miss Gulch, who wants to kill Toto, and seeks to escape her by leaving Kansas. Over the Rainbow that witch-like Midwesterner becomes an even-more wicked Witch of the West, and now she wants to kill Dorothy herself. (The movie shows this vivid transformation during the twister that sent Dorothy's house flying through space.) Through journaling, you'll locate the Miss Gulches in your life who you've chosen to resist, only to find them reappearing as someone else who you also couldn't get along with. Through an enlightened Completion Process, you'll be shown how to make peace with this Shadow figure.
The class shows how to connect to your higher Self and release the kind of doubts that made the Scarecrow, Tin Man and Lion think they needed to find something they already had. You'll discover, like Dorothy did, not to pay attention to the man behind the curtain. In other words, you'll be shown how to take back the projections you've placed on teachers and others whom
you've put on pedestals and to whom you've given away your power.
Last but not least, each participant will be shown that, like Dorothy, you, too, are supported by the higher powers of the Universe, whether they're named Glinda, angels, or Spirit. Most of all, you'll be able to gain access to that by symbolically clicking your heels together three times and awakening your own intuition.
C. “Zen Teachings of Cats & Dogs”
There are more than 171 million cats and dogs that Americans have taken into their homes to raise. These little buddhas, who demonstrate many of the qualities that the world's great teachers have taught about the nature of Enlightenment, have, in turn, taken us under their wings…um, make that paws.
In this class, Zen Teachings of Animals author Cary Bayer provides tools that we can practice daily--call it Pet Yoga--to master five important qualities of Enlightenment they show us. Pet Yoga helps transform our consciousness from low levels of fear where our tail is between our legs to the place where it's wagging all the time, the state of consciousness called Feline Groovy.
D. “The 4 Fields of Life”
"Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I'll meet you there."-Rumi
To be successful both in the world and in the spiritual life, it's essential to integrate the four fields of Life: that of action, speech, thought, and the Transcendental field of Being. Transcendental Meditations and Meditations for Enlightenment author Cary Bayer will show you how to awaken the Transcendent, transform the way you think, become more conscious of how you
speak, and empower your actions so that they can create ongoing achievements and fulfillment. Cary has long practiced what he teaches: he's a former teacher of Transcendental Meditation, who's taught many hundreds of people from southern California to western Europe and a trainer of its teachers. Most recently, he founded Higher Self Meditation.
E. “The Bhagavad Gita and the Secret to the Meaning of Life”
The first--and greatest--yoga class ever is recorded in the sacred Bhagavad Gita, an ancient Sanskrit poem. It tells of an honorable leader who must choose between saving his family or his country. Involving far more than the postures and breathing exercises of a usual yoga class, the story shows the Way to a direct experience of Reality. At the same time, it reveals the elusive secrets of karma, dharma, meditation, and service.
With compassion, humor, anecdote and interactive processes, Cary Bayer, a meditation teacher since the '70s and author of Transcendental Meditations and Meditations for Enlightenment, connects some of these sacred insights from the Gita to the contemporary challenges of finding your career path; performing successful action supported by the Universe; and finding your higher Self.
F. “The Seven States of Consciousness”
(Taught only in areas where Cary will be for 3 or more days)
The average person is familiar with three states of consciousness-the changing states of waking, dreaming and sleeping. The Vedantic wisdom of India details four others, including the non-changing Transcendental Consciousness that serves as the basis of three more advanced levels of awareness.
This class is led by Transcendental Meditations and Meditations on Enlightenment author Cary Bayer. A former Transcendental Meditation teacher and founder of Higher Self Meditation, he gives a glimpse into the peace of the fourth state of Being. He also clearly outlines the various levels of Enlightenment, including the non-changing nature of unbounded awareness and the ever-refining ability of perception.
G. “How to Become Enlightened”
(This class is only taught within a 1-hour drive of Cary's Florida and New York homes or when he's in an area for 3 days.)
This workshop provides tools for students to gain a multi-level view of Enlightenment that includes action, speech, the mind, the heart, and the Self. While gaining a liberating understanding of the universal Law of Karma, students will learn empowering ways to interpret the daily results that they have in their lives based on the Law of Attraction. They'll also learn how to harness the creative power of every word that their mouth utters, and every thought that their mind thinks. The class will also shed light on the healing opportunity that the “Significant Other” relationship affords. Lastly, students learn how to gain Yoga's samadhi, contact with the timeless Higher Self in the Transcendent Field of Being, which glimpses the liberation of this momentary Enlightenment.
5. Creativity
A. “Awaken your Creative Genius”
Scriptures from around the world tell you that you are made in the image of the Creator of the Universe. Yet, so many creative people stay blocked and stuck. Awaken your Creative Genius author Cary Bayer, a Life and Creativity coach who's helped hundreds of people unfold their creativity, will show you how to tap into that infinite reservoir of creativity within you. This can help you manifest more creativity in your daily life-whether that means more inspiration for creative projects; more innovative ways of doing things in your profession; more ways of beautifying your home and surroundings; and newer ways of behaving in your relationships, among other things.
He'll give you the keys to open the door to abundant creativity; the dynamite to blast through creative block; ways to connect to your muse through Spontaneous Writing and Discovery Writing; relax your mind and body to fire up your creativity; and date your inner artist. These techniques have been used successfully by thousands of people, and can help you become wildly creative in your ventures, as well as in your personal life.
B. “Walt Whitman's Enlightenment & The Awakening of Your Inner Poet”
Awakened to the Transcendent, Walt Whitman, the self-described “kosmos,” had powerful glimpses of the One Spirit that pervades the universe. His direct expressions of higher states of consciousness awaken powerful levels of your Being. Reading poetry of this kind-even for two minutes a day-can stir your soul.
His free verse, a radical breakthrough at the time, influenced modern poetry; he was no doubt the spiritual father of the great Beat Poetry movement. More importantly, he can influence your ability to write poetry.
This class will use his enlightened poems to free your inner poet. We'll use a variety of writing exercises and creativity drills to establish connection with your own Muse. Lastly, by the time you leave the class, you will have written a poem about a bigger life waiting to lived by you.
6. Inner Child, Joy and Laughter
A. “Awaken your Inner Child”
Christ said that you can’t gain entry into the Kingdom of Heaven unless you become like a child again. How are you to pull off that neat trick unless you go back into your mother’s womb? The answer, of course, rests in awakening the inner child within you.
This class—more of a playshop than a workshop--promises to be one of the most healing and enjoyable couple of hours you’ll ever enjoy. That’s because the connection--or re-connection--with your inner child that it helps to facilitate, offers help in its healing, and enables you to have more ongoing fun with this inner child in your daily life.
The playful inner child of facilitator Cary Bayer offers you fun activities like drawing in a coloring book, jumping rope, flipping baseball cards, snacking on milk and cookies, and relaxing with nap time.
By the time you leave, you will embody the innocence of which Christ spoke.
B. “Awaken your Joy”
If you’re disconnected from your deepest joy, this is the class for you. Awaken your Joy author Cary Bayer helps you reconnect to your greatest joys, and then takes you through steps to consciously bring them more into daily life. You’ll leave the class with a plan to incorporate more joy into your friendships, relationship with your significant other, family, career, sex life, and spiritual life. You’ll also be shown techniques that can daily transform your own internal limits to experiencing more joy.
You will also have a ball in this class as you re-awaken your joy.
C. “An Evening of Stand-Up Metaphysics: Laughter as a way to Liberation”
With the Wise Guy Swami
This delightful “playshop” is brought to you by workshop leader/stand-up comic Cary Bayer and the Wise Guy Swami, the 4,000-year-old “Disembodiment of Heaven and Mirth” and the author of The Lost Teachings of the Oy Veda. The Wise Guy, who speaks in an Indian accent, is “channeled” (wink, wink) by Cary.
This highly delightful class mixes workshop and entertainment to bring your awareness to a higher, more playful level than the serious one that created your problems in life. Your sense of humor is an innate gift from God that helps you gain a broader perspective and enables you to tackle your challenges with a lighter heart. It also enables you to see and live the great truth expressed by comic genius Charlie Chaplin: "Life is a tragedy seen in close-up, but a comedy in long shot." The playshop fulfills the ancient Chinese proverb about fish: it brings you laughs to lighten you for a day and teaches you how to laugh, to lighten you for a lifetime. You will learn a variety of techniques that Cary has learned from more than 25 years as both a teacher of personal growth and professional comedian and comedy writer.
7. Myth and Literature
A. "Awaken your Inner Superhero"
Superheroes aren’t just comic book fantasies for kids, says Zen Teachings of the Superheroes author Cary Bayer; they’re mythic archetypes who embody your own sleeping inner potential. Their dual identities will remind you of your own dual nature: your small self--or social role that you play--and your higher Self, which is a spark of the divine. The workshop helps you locate the Fortress of Solitude and Batcave deep within you. It also enables you to regularly connect to your secret identity with a daily Superhero Meditation that you will learn in class. You may not leave the workshop with the ability to leap tall buildings in a single bound, but you will change the course of the mighty river of your life.
B. “Christ, Superman and You”
There are less than six degrees of separation between Superman Christ, and you, because you’re made in the image of God. The Psalms said that ”Ye shall be as gods;” and Jesus said, “He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do.” Superman, in the comic books, said, “It’s not too far-fetched to predict that some day, our very own planet may be peopled by Supermen!”
In this fun workshop, Zen Teachings of the Superheroes author Cary Bayer enables you to recognize that the social role you play—whether as a mild-mannered reporter from a great metropolitan newspaper, a carpenter, or whatever your occupation happens to be—represents the outer, visible part of your being. There’s an inner, invisible part of who you are that’s your higher, spiritual nature. This workshop teaches a meditation and visualization to help you shift your awareness daily from your outer to your inner nature.
You’re here to do great things, and this workshop, which helps you be in the world but not of it, will help you accomplish just that.
C. “Walt Whitman: Poet of Enlightenment”
Influenced by Transcendentalists, awakened to the Transcendent, Walt Whitman, the self-described “kosmos,” had powerful glimpses of the One Spirit that pervades the universe. This awareness, coupled with his love of “comrades,” enabled his poetry to be, as one critic dubbed it, “a remarkable mixture of the Bhagavad Gita and the New York Herald.” His connection to the Unmanifest Source also enabled him to be claimed as an inspiration by such diverse groups as mystics, Beats, gays, the women's movement, and Socialists, among others.
8. Seasonal
January
A. “How to make your New Year's Resolutions come True”
The first few days of January each year are the national days for bowls and goals, when some football team will become the number one gridiron program in college. January 1 is also the big day for fantasy, because without a commitment and a plan, the resolutions you make on that day--whether to lose a lot of weight or to make a lot of money-are really just pipe dreams.
Many resolutions made by people on January 1 are forgotten by January 4. The habits that created the condition on January 1--the ones that you say you want changed--will still be alive and kicking on January 2. For some people, however, resolutions they make on January 1 become realities by March 1. The difference is in the commitments to make those dreams come true.
Suppose your resolution is to double your income by year's end. Only a new seed yields a new crop. To double your income you must at least double your magnetism and your imagination. You must become a bigger person in the process. A similar principle applies to the manifestation of virtually any new year's resolution.
This workshop introduces the New Year's Resolution Aerobics, an inner workout that you can practice in 15 minutes per day to make sure that the pilot light of commitment is kept lit all year, and the goals that you set for yourself as the ball dropped over Times Square are alive in your consciousness throughout the year and, more importantly, become your realities before the next ball drops.
May/June
B. “How to be at Peace with your Parents”
Rare is the person who doesn't have unresolved issues with one or more parents, whether they're living or not. People often spend thousands of dollars in therapy trying to resolve these conflicts.
Have you ever noticed that people who resemble one or both parents whom you're incomplete with have an uncanny knack for showing up in your life in different guises? That's no accident. This workshop will provide the theoretical framework to understand the role these people play in your life.
This highly practical workshop also comes equipped with a systematic, three-step Completion Process that frees you of the toxic energy and heavy weight that you've been carrying around for all these years. In this class, you'll make tremendous progress toward finishing the first two of these three steps that are vital for your physical, emotional, and financial health, and will enable you to become at peace with either or both of your parents, as well as the people who've come into your life to help you gain peace with your parents.
November
C. “Thanksgiving, Gratitude & Prosperity”
Thanksgiving is a national holiday that, for all too many Americans, winds up being little more than an all-you-can-eat turkey and stuffing pig-out and an all-you-can-watch football fest. It becomes a day of gluttony where men watch tv and ignore their wives. In truth, however, it's a day dedicated to giving thanks, a day of gratitude if, consciously celebrated, can lead to a life of gratitude, which in turn leads to a much more prosperous life. This workshop can help you embody the spirit of generosity that
prevailed at the first Thanksgiving between the Pilgrims and the Native Americans as you learn techniques that will unfold greater gratitude, generosity and abundance.
December
D. “Embrace your Inner Santa Claus: How to Embody Prosperity”
Many of you have played Santa Claus either at a Christmas party or in your very own home. But how many of you know the secret to embodying this long-standing, cross-cultural archetype of abundance and patron saint of prosperity? This workshop will teach you that. It will also show you how to use ancient and modern techniques that have helped tens of thousands of people magnetize prosperity for themselves, while simultaneously becoming enormous embodiments of generosity, and having a jolly old time doing it, a jolliness worthy of Santa Claus.
9. Business Training for Healers and Workshop Leaders
A. “Healer, Heal Thyself: A Workshop for Counselors, Coaches, Chiropractors, Clergy, LMTs, & Healers ”
The physician has long been told to heal thyself. Why should it be any different for metaphysicians like clergy and healers, counselors, coaches, chiropractors and massage therapists? They serve as instruments for the healing of their clients, patients and congregants, but who helps them in their healing?
Those who care for others need to receive care from others, as well.

They’ll also learn how to allow prosperity to flow into their own lives. Each participant will also be shown how to more deeply awaken her intuition; how to rewire the Unconscious by transforming the negative training that she learned in childhood; and how to solidify boundaries so that she can support her clients without taking on their problems. Lastly, each student will be taught “Prana-Sperity: The Breath of Abundance” that will give her the experience of expanded aliveness in the very cells of her being.
B. “How to Lead Personal Growth Workshops”

10. Stress Management
A. “Take a Breath: An Enlightened Way to Manage Stress”
(Available only in south Florida and in the metro New York areas)
This workshop will show you the linguistic link between breath and spirit, and will inspire you in the deepest sense of the word. It will teach you a connected breathing technique that’s a more refined version of respiration than you’re used to, which will result in your feeling truly inspired. The class will also show you how to keep cool on the job, and how to be more flexible in life.
The class culminates in a group session of Prana-Sperity: The Connected Breath of Abundance, a deeply relaxing process that releases a great deal of stress and strain. The abundance of oxygen offers an experience of pleasure at the cellular level, making it easier to attract love and happiness in your relationships, and more prosperity in your finances.
(Those living in close proximity to workshop leader Cary Bayer’s home offices in south Florida and upstate New York are encouraged to practice this technique under his supervision after the workshop is over.) |
