Self Mastery Dreaming Journey
BEYOND THE MIND
the practices that connect you with yourself as consciousness.
So you can bring loving awareness to emotional wounds and shift old conditioning.
with Eva Beronius
If you’ve been practicing self-awareness and changing beliefs, then you already know that trying to change your thinking from inside the mind that put it in place gives very short-lived results.
You’ve most likely experienced the frustration of circling back to old emotional reactions and thought patterns for the hundredth time.
You probably already know that being the true observer and bringing loving awareness to all parts of you is a key component for true shifts.
But you might not know that experiencung yourself as MORE than your mind...
Comes with creativity and joy
Beyond the fear-based belief system you've been operating by is your natural state. Your home. It's effortless. From here a different life is possible and other choices are available to you.
Increases your capacity to change beliefs and heal core wounds
From the seat of consciousness, you have a source of endless acceptance and self-love. Something that the unconscious program of the mind and your emotional wounds are longing to experience and rest in.
Shifts your brainwave state and ends the battle with your mind
When you learn to shift out of a vigilant beta brainwate state - which is focused on protecting the sense of "I" - you have different home where mind chatter doesn't feel like a burden.
Brings you to the direct experience of your core self
At the heart of meditation is self-realization. The embodied experience of what you are. This is something completely different from anything imagined by the mind.
Even though you have a deep desire to live outside the identification with the mind,
the road to operating from the seat of consciousness seems anything but paved out.
You might have found yourself downloading a meditation app with the best intentions to get started. You sit down and are ready to have the amazing expereinces from meditation that everyone talks about.
The first thing that happens is that your mind. Doesn’t. Shut. Up. It’s NOT on board with your new mission. And you get frustrated. And restless. And feel like it’s not working for you.
Or your pratice is coming along, but you feel like you’re missing those deeper benefits people are raving about. You keep wondering if you’re doing it right. If there’s more..?
Maybe you watch Youtube videos and attend workshops, but get somewhat conflicting and vague guidance. “Let go of your thoughts” and “Simply allow your thoughts to be there.” Which one is it? And if you KNEW how to do that – wouldn’t you do it in a heartbeat?
The lack of clear guidance on how to get past the experience YOU are having to the experience that spiritual teachers seem to be having, just makes your mind more confused.
This is where most people give up on their desire to experience consciousness and the heart of meditation.
Why do we give up on meditation?
Your ego-mind doesn’t want emotional pain. It tries to avoid it at all costs and has built an intricate system to protect you from it. If you feel you might fail, and failing is associated with shame and feeling worthless, your unconscious will avoid starting or back out the moment it becomes challenging or confusing. If meditation seems hard or has the potential of failing, you won’t do it.
Meditation also requires you to get mastery over your attention, something you haven’t practiced at a high level before. Your attention is used to be pulled along, and when it gets pulled to other, shinier objects than meditation – you’re used to follow.
The good news is - the best is yet to come
There’s so much left to explore, and the magic lays ahead.
Your mind WILL put out ideas and images that seem like obstacles in the way. If you have a map of them, you can navigate the resistance and turn obstacles into growth. With this change of perspective, the obstacles is not in the way of you accessing consciousness – they ARE the way there.
You can have the experience of consciousness within you if you understand the purpose of certain meditation practices and how to break them down.
AND if you’re aware of the traps:
Five common reasons why people give up on their meditation practice
(And why you don’t have to!)
1. They are not ready for the mind game
If you expect to have blissful moments and a calm mind the first time you sit down for meditation, you're in for a surprise. Expectations of what a meditation practice should feel or even look like is a huge obstacle. When the idea of meditation is not met, the mind experiences the gap. This often feels like a failure or like the practices are "not working." Belief systems will activate to protect from the pain of failure with suggestions to "quit" or "try something else."
If you're given the guidance "Let go of your thoughts," but without a practical technique to do so, the mind will easily get confused and start making excuses.
If you're not aware that this will happen, and that this is the nature of the mind, you stand a very small chance to observe it and keep practicing.
2. They are looking inside the mind, or with it
You're not likely to get guided into a deeper experience in a meditation app or a Youtube video. Your mind needs to understand WHY you're doing the practice and then get good guidance on HOW to get there. That's why a roadmap to the skills you need will be very valuable to get the mind onboard.
HOWEVER. The experience of consciousness does not happen inside the mind and can not be experienced with the mind. You need guidance in exploring other means of perceiving and awareness to realize there is more to you than the mind. Connecting with your body, breath, and practices for sensing instead of thinking will be helpful.
3. They are identified with the mind and not ready for the motivation drop
When you set out on this quest, the mind will likely be very motivated by the idea of the positive outcomes and the great life you’ll live. You’ll think that this is YOU being motivated. Later, the initial high wears off because the mind produced it. Yet you are supposed to keep doing the practices even when it seems to come with no immediate reward.
Your mind will get bored and start looking for other motivation highs: another program, another solution, something new and shiny. If you KNOW that this is your mind operating from an unconscious program, you can let it do its thing while you keep doing the practices from a deeper desire and yearning.
4. They believe it might not be possible for them
Too often, Consciousness has been assigned to gurus, monks, and yogis and associated with a lifetime of meditation practices in monasteries and caves. It doesn't seem like something for the single dad or the hard-working nurse. This is just an idea, a belief, about what it's possible for you, and it holds no truth. This idea will be in the way of setting a clear intent and focus. Because one of the most important steps is that you believe it is possible for you.
You ARE already consciousness. You can never not be. It's been within you all this time, and it hasn't been touched by suffering, hurt, or drama. It is only a matter of motivation and a good roadmap to gain awareness of your Self as consciousness.
5. They think they'll casually try it out
When we half-assedly (did I just invent a new word?) think we'll "check it out and see", we're usually staying in an old protective mind program that's afraid of failing and want to "play it safe". Don't invest or expect too much and the fall won't be that far.
The problem is that this belief program won't allow you to invest much enthusiasm, motivation, and intent either. It will be in the way for your deeper wanting.
You need to desire this and be willing to sit through the resistance, mind-chatter, and uncomfortableness, to fine-tune the instrument of your attention. When you desire it, believe it's possible for you PLUS put time into the practices you WILL reach that door inside and connect to consciousness.
I want you to know...
Even though meditation is growing in popularity, few people are getting to the core of it. They get stuck in the identification with the mind and don’t know that the experience of consciousness takes place BEYOND THE MIND.
To get to consciousness, you need to know what to expect in terms of resistance. You bring your mind onboard, balanced with a step-by-step guide on how to expand OUT from it.
And that’s exactly what I’d love to guide you through.
Introducing the Dreaming Journey:
Beyond the Mind
The practices you need to tune your attention to the frequency of consciousness
I’ve taken everything I’ve learned for the past ten years in my meditation practice combined with the Self Mastery work and what the Toltecs call Dreaming, and turned it into an online course, a journey, for motivated practitioners to go deeper than the regular meditation app or single technique workshop.
This course is the first of its kind that:
- Breaks down the steps of expanding your awareness and sinking through the layers of the mind
- Balances neuroscience with activating your inner knowing
- Combines the benefits of meditation with inner work of taking apart your unconscious beliefs
- Addresses resistance with understanding why it's there and show you how to welcome it as your teacher
- Gives you practices to do on your own as well as live sessions with group practices to utilize the state of consciousness in your inner work
If you want to grow your capacity to sense consciousness and connect with all parts of you with loving awareness…
this is for you
What you'll get
We’re dropping the fancy names and going right for the experience we’re after. Instead of going to a meditation workshop teaching you one specific technique, you’ll benefit from the essence of practices that will:
- Move the force of your attention consciously
- Deepen the experience of yourself as the observer
- Shift the quality of your attention to pick up on subtle layers underneath matter and thoughts
- Shift your brainwave state
- Deepen your experience of sensing, rather than thinking
- Greater capacity for healing, by holding conscious, loving space for yourself
- Experience your being outside the mind
- Experience yourself as consciousness
Your Journey
Beyond the Mind
10 weeks of impactful practices to step-by-step take you into the direct experience of consciousness. meditation journeys, weekly practices, monthly live sessions and community support.
next round starts may 11 - doors open May 1-5
INTRO: On sign up
Week 1
Designed to prepare you and get the most out of the course. You'll have a clear intent with your practice and know how to welcome limiting beliefs and expectations if they show up. You'll have a good understanding of the effects of meditation on your brain. Leave this chapter feeling prepared and motivated for the journey.
Chapter 1: A deeper understanding of relaxation
Week 2
You'll learn why it's important to shift out of survival and high-stress state - not just for your well-being but for accessing other brainwave states. And the practices to do so.
Chapter 2: The Force of your Attention
Week 3
By seeing your attention as a powerful force, you can build the muscle of moving it around to different parts of your being. This will begin shifting you out of your thinking mind to the observer state. This muscle needs exercising to prepare you for the coming modules where we will expand our attention and shift the quality of it.
Chapter 3: Who is Observing?
Week 4
Now that you have a better hold of your attention, you'll use it to turn your attention 180 degrees to observe the observer. We're deepening the realization that you are more than your mind and getting familiar with that bigger sense of yourself.
Chapter 4: Body Connection and Sensing
Week 5
To go deeper into awareness we need to shift out of thinking and into sensing. This will help you access parts of yourself beyond the conscious mind. You'll explore the relationship to your body and build a new one of trust and listening.
Chapter 5: Qualities of your Attention
Week 6
Now you're ready for new attention skills. You'll receive a practical technique to shift between narrow and open focus. It will give you an important reference to what shifting into awareness feels like in the body/mind.
Chapter 6: I AM
Week 7
Here you'll be deepening your sense of self as consciousness.
How can you sense and perceive yourself non-phenomenally, as awareness? You'll be expanding your attention to the heart of your being.
Chapter 7: No-thing
Week 8
You'll get the opportunity to identify and let go of limiting beliefs and fears about letting go of old attachments to identity. Realizing that the ego is merely an idea made up of thoughts. You leave this chapter feeling less afraid of letting go, and sensing the freedom in that.
Chapter 8: Connecting with your heart
Week 9
You'll be connecting to the part of your being that will help you connect to the world. You'll learn about the electromagnetic field of your heart, coherence, and how to "open your heart" - activating and directing the force of this field for connection and heart-brain coherence.
Chapter 9: Connecting with everything
Week 10
From nothing comes everything. You'll understand more about life force and that you are it. Connecting through your heart, the void, and as consciousness allow you to expand to include everything. The whole ocean in one drop.
What's next: Continue your meditation journey
I walk you through how you can continue to use the practices from the course and to stay curious and present with them. You'll also follow up on your process and do a measuring of just how much your control over your attention has grown.

What people asked
before signing up
That most likely means that you didn’t have one or a mix of the following things in place:
- An honest expectation on what to experience when trying meditation
- A clear intent on what you wanted out of it and the knowledge to get there.
- A roadmap on what you needed to practice when in the process.
- A plan to set up a regular practice that will give you the changes you want over time.
- A successful way of turning obstacles and resistance into opportunities for practice and growth.
New neural pathways are created with repetition. If your first meditation experiences were connected with a feeling of boredom, restlessness, or overwhelm, then it’s not likely you’ll sit down again. More likely, belief programs of your mind have come up with reasons NOT to try again to protect you from uncomfortable emotions – with the effect that you probably won’t take on overcoming those initial reactions.
Good news: you’re in the right place. I won’t let you miss out on the benefits from meditation from a programmed belief – and neither should you. This course isn’t just a meditation workshop. It’s the roadmap to a successful meditation practice that teaches you what to practice when and build skills over time. You also learn to identify limiting beliefs that show up and what to do with them, so they don’t stop you.
I’ve designed this course to be completely adaptable to where you are, both with the level of experience with meditation and with your calendar. A common play by the inner judge is to compare us with an ideal of where we should be. Instead, this course is guiding you to start exactly where you are and build from there. I guide you through setting up a practice that works for you. I have clients who do a 5-min-meditation on the bathroom floor after brushing their teeth. If before you did 0 minutes of meditation, and now you do 5 minutes, that’s a win that will have an effect on your brain.
Also, notice how your mind’s belief program in this question is trying to project a past experience feeling on a future event. Underneath is likely protection against the feeling of failure. You’ve felt disappointment and failure before when not completing a course or not seen change, and the judge is warning you of feeling that again. The only way he/she knows how to do that is by stopping you from starting, and that’s probably not how you want to live your life.
You’ll get guidance on how to inventory and see these programs of beliefs as you do the course because I’ve had plenty of them myself. The game afoot is to use them as opportunities for growth.
Yes, and it’s good if you’ve meditated as well. Like I described in the previous answer, the course is adaptable to your current level of experience. If you already have a practice that you want to deepen, you’ll get help with expanding and focus your practice and to get to the core of the meditation experience.
If you have never meditated before but are aware of the benefits and want to access them, this course will help you start from the beginning and set up a sustainable, regular practice.
How can it help with both? Because I’m not teaching you a single meditation technique. I’m teaching you an approach to meditation that has a much bigger chance to stick with you.
What you do need is a level of self-awareness to observe your minds programs or the willingness to build that awareness through the practices.
Yes. And for anyone who’s got a brain and wants to make it work more efficiently, and has a longing to feel better.
Meditation can be a spiritual practice, but it’s also a practice for your emotions, mind, nervous system, focus, and attention. Meditation will bring your brain into coherence when done well, which means your brain will get more done with less effort. You will think clearer, make better decisions, and have creative ideas as well as being able to observe and regulate your reactions in different life situations.
I’m all about taking the woo-woo out of practices and show you how they really work. Sometimes I’ll do that with knowledge and understanding and, most times, by bringing you into an experience on your own. So that the effects of meditation are not just theory for your intellect, but alive and true in you, without words.
There’s nothing religious about this meditation course. Instead, I’m guiding you to step out of concepts and dogmas about what meditation should be and look like. But there’s a lot of heart, soul, and freedom – things that are shared by us all as humans and connect us rather than divides us.
When it comes to the sitting still part, you will get guidance to be curious and explore restlessness, boredom, and other reactions to meditation. I want you to have agency and direct your focus at your own will, and not let impulsive reactions run you. This will happen over time with practice.
Also, there’s a lot of freedom in the practices I teach. You’ll get to set up a practice that actually works for you. That might be walking meditations and short practices to get your nervous system accustomed to new states before you feel comfortable enough to sit for your meditation practice.
Your Self Mastery Journey often starts out in the role of the Victim. You’re hurt and defeated, angry and stressed. Your mind, and the program it is running, is dreaming YOU. You are unconsciously reacting, thinking and feeling from a set of unconscious beliefs in your mind.
When you take the step out of that Victim role and take responsibility for changing the current program of your mind, you’ve stepped into the role of the Hunter. You’re stalking the patterns in your mind and their source. You’re releasing emotions connected with them and are clearing the old house of lies and fears.
When you’ve dissolved some of your old beliefs you’ll start experiencing a greater sense of freedom. You might ask yourself who you are beyond that old program, and who you are if you’re not your mind. This is when you can step into the role of the Dreamer. You start practicing dreaming yourself outside of the old program of the mind and also outside the mind itself. You start dreaming with awareness. When you experience yourself as consciousness, and everything around you as consciousness, there’s a new way of connecting with everything. You can feel the consciousness of your heart, of a tree, or the earth.
I call Beyond the Mind a Dreaming journey because you’ll get to practice your Dreamer skills. You’ll practice experiencing yourself as something much more strange and wonderful than the image of yourself that your ego-mind has held up, and that you have identified with.
Dreaming and meditating can be used as different words for the same thing if you are using meditation practices to experience yourself outside of your thinking mind.
This course consists of practices you need to experience yourself as consciousness. I have studied many different techniques with different teachers over the course of ten years. The more I practice, the less important the names are and what’s left is the beautiful and powerful core of what I want to experience with my practice.
In this course, we’re dropping the fancy names and going right to the experience we’re after. Instead of going to a meditation workshop teaching you one specific technique, you’ll benefit from a mix that will:
- Exercise your focus and attention
- Teach you to shift the quality of your attention
- Deepen the experience of yourself as the observer
- Teach you the hacks to shift your brainwaves
- Connect you with your heart
- Experience more parts of your being
- Experience yourself as consciousness
Some of the participants will notice changes during the course, and for some, it will take a longer time. It all depends on your starting point but ALSO, how you’ve been programmed to measure results. If you’re someone working through a big obstacle with focusing, getting past that might be your big take away from the course. Is it a failure because you didn’t experience what you might have been expecting (yet)? No, you’re actually exactly where you need to be. If you set out to experience yourself as consciousness and a bunch of stuff shows up along that way – that is EXACTLY the stuff that you need to be present and curious about, and that will get you where you want to be when you learn to be with them. What you might see as obstacles are really the keys that will unlock your doors of progress.
This course will teach you how to deal with those obstacles efficiently. Also, there are worksheets provided where you track and measure changes you experience so we can measure progress in a smarter way that your inner judge might do.
And then, when we reach the end of the course – the only thing that’s finished is me providing you with new approaches. This is where your journey begins, and you have access to the course material indefinitely (and can download audios to keep for yourself for a lifetime). Now you can go back and spend time on the things you need to practice more. The roadmap is laid out and for you to walk and revisit. There is also a follow-up group with weekly practices to take part in if you enjoy and benefit from more guidance and the group setting.
However, if you realize that this course is not for you within 14 days of the course start (which will have given you the introduction and chapter 1), then email me at support@selfmasteryandbeyond.com. I’ll give you a refund on all of your investment except the $24 that the credit card processor keep to themselves.
Expressing something wordless in words will, of course, never fully reflect the experience itself, but I’ll do my best to answer. Experiencing consciousness (or God/truth/life force/divine/oneness…etc) for me is:
- like coming home
- everything and nothing at the same time
- love at its truest essence
- limitless
- joy
- a knowing without words
- all-encompassing
- peace
- I am
You're ready for this dreaming journey if you...
That journey goes inwards, and that’s where this course is taking you. Not by adding layers but removing beliefs in the way and pointing you to practices that will bring you a new experience of yourself, beyond the mind.
A key to shifting old conditioning, healing emotional wounds and reconnecting with yourself – is to meet with all parts of yourself from outside the old identification with the mind.
Meaning: with loving awareness.
There’s no more impactful way of doing that than to have the direct experience of yourself as consciousness. Because, when you sense consciousness inside of yourself, you’re not identified with your mind. Instead, you’re the space where any mind activity occurs.
While before you’d usually meet the parts of yourself from another part of your mind (that might be judgmental, wanting to fix, feel sorry for etc), you’re now able to drop into a truly observing place without agenda.
The not-fixing is paradoxically enough what is going to allow the shift in your old patterns to take place.
There might have been glimpses of unconditional love, of a sense of connectedness, or something bigger than you, inside of you. That woke you up to the possibility that there is more to you than meets the eye. You want to connect with and grow that experience, and you want to access it at will.
In this course I’ve included practices that will satisfy your souls wish to go beyond the mind. Practices that we normally would teach at events to give a deeper experience of consciousness.
The more you can feel your way through Teo, dream the dream of Teo, the more you’ll get out of it. The week in Teo is not about thinking or figuring things out. The more you have practiced your Dreaming skills the more open you will come to the experience of Teo.
This is not your common meditation workshop, app, or YouTube video. I’ll guide you on what to practice when so you’ll build the skills needed for the long term benefits. You’ll get guidance on overcoming resistance, measuring progress, and approaching the course, already in the introduction module. I’ve set this course up so you’ll have a good meditation experience PLUS learn to navigate the learning process.
I got you covered. I’m teaching you how to build a practice that lasts by connecting it to joy and curiosity rather than struggle, punishment, and guilt. I’m also taking away concepts and dogmas about what meditation should be so you have the freedom to explore it in a way that works for you.
With this course’s practices, you can shift your brain into a more harmonious way of functioning. That will quiet the mind chatter and make you feel more focused and creative.
Exploring on your own or with the help of books, videos, and single workshops can be wonderful. Still, sometimes you wonder if other ways would take you deeper into the experience, or faster past obstacles and resistance. In this course, we’re really getting to the heart and core of meditation with clear practical steps.
And are willing to put attention and energy on it.
You know this is your opportunity to do things differently than all the other times in your life. You are ready to meet what has felt scary before, only to realize that when met and welcomed it wasn’t as bad as you had dreamed it up to be.
Did you nod your head at 2-3 of the above?
Then you’re who I had in mind when I created this course. This is your journey.
Hi, I'm Eva
My name is Eva Beronius and I found the Self Mastery work several years ago, after I’d tried different forms of therapy without getting the results I wanted. I soon started combining the Self Mastery work with meditation, somatic experiencing and other practices which accelerated the progress and changed my life completely. From a state of depression, PTSD and panic attacks to joy, peace and excitement about life, and a brain in coherence.
I’ve been leading Self Mastery Courses in Sweden, teaching retreats and workshops around the world and guiding people through online courses. I’m the founder of the highly praised online program Being Me and co-founder of the Self Mastery Community. You can hear me on the Uncover YOU podcast.
My skills in both strategy and artistry have been combined in my work where you get to connect with a deeper sense of yourself, but in a way that the mind can be on board and understand why.
I’m looking forward to guiding you into the skills that made it possible for me to go Beyond the Mind and operate from consciousness.
