“Wow, I just finished the meditation from session 2. I have sat for hours in meditation, I’ve trained deeply and I even teach, but that 20 minutes we just practiced was more profound and more transformative than all of the other years put together. I don’t know what happened, I am excited and also relieved, so thank you.” - UK Student from 2nd cohort
“It’s honestly one of the very best trainings I’ve ever done.
It’s not remotely just about meditation, it’s about using your mind and heart effectively in all of your life.”

G’day and welcome my friend
It’s Mikey King and I’m stoked you’re here.
I have a real passion to share meditation and the art of contemplation with you in simplest and most effective form.
Why?
Because I want YOU to REALLY live well and be happy - no, actually more than happy - fulfilled with your heart on fire for life.
And I know that these super simple contemplations can go such a long way towards changing the very structure of your brain and freeing your heart.
I’ve been teaching meditation for 12 years, and training meditation teachers for 6, and in this course I have taken the best, most effective, time tested techniques that I personally know and simplified them for you.
I feel so blessed to have worked so closely and intimately with people's hearts and minds, in both one on one settings and in groups over all of these years.
And do you know what has become so clear to me?
That we all struggle with the same, very human, challenges.
And we all yearn for the same triumphs.
Through this training you will learn meditation and contemplation practices that directly address this beautiful human conundrum - tools that will directly address and soothe the challenges we ALL face. Tools that you will continue to use well into the future after the final gong has rung.
Is this course for you?
Do you -
Struggle to be still or deeply relax?
Have a mind like a wild puppy?
Feel like experiences of your past cloud your future?
Feel like your prayers or intentions go unmet?
Suffer from anxiety, stress or overwhelm?
Hesitate to go big in life because of doubt?
Yearn for something more out of this human experience?
Unintentionally withhold love with friends, your partner or family?
Blindly react to your friends, family or kids?
Want to bring more kindness and joy into the world?
Experiences moments of inadequacy, shame or imposter syndrome?
Wake up at 3 or 4am ruminating on bygones?
The good news?
We have both neuroscientific and traditional protocol to meet all of these ailments so you aren’t alone or helpless in your efforts.
This course has been designed for -
Coaches, mentors and therapists, yoga teachers, meditation teachers, mindfulness instructors and councillors who want further understanding in how they can support their clients through their very specific challenges in life
(This course is a precursor to our Meditation Coach Training where we look at how these tools and so much more can be applied successfully in a one on one coaching or group teaching setting)Anyone who has done our beginners meditation course and wants to further explore how inner contemplations can heal the past and renew the spirit to live wholeheartedly.
People who work in a professional environment and/or athletes who need to be at their best and not let their past cloud their future or their thoughts of their future create anxiety or stress.
Curious people who want to know how to manage their own minds (and stop them from spiralling, ruminating, regretting and reacting) and tap into the power of the mind to heal, balance and thrive.
People who are doing our Meditation Coach Training and are taking this as the first step
“Thank you so much Michael for this training.I want to go back to the beginning and start again! I have loved this course in so many ways, not only to become a great teacher, but the awareness and understanding of who I really am and what I’m capable of, blows my mind! This is a course for life and everyone should do this. I think you should submit it to high schools! I can honestly say, you have changed my life. Much love and deepest respect and gratitude to you.” - Leah Anderson, Gold Coast
“Thank you thank you thank you for having me on this training. The value I am getting from it is off the charts, far and away beyond the price you charge” - Joe
“Having meditated for over 5 years, I have finally now learned for myself what it really means to meditate. Michaels teaching is profound, straightforward and no rocket science. Traditional teachings as well as modern research are combined so perfectly giving you the necessary theoretical foundation to dive into experience. I recommend this training to everyone who is intrigued by the effects of meditation and having the intention to spread this together with the rest of us into this world!” - Ute Franz, Germany
YOUR TEACHER
After years and years and thousands of hours of meditative practice and study into the a variety of contemplative traditions and modern neurosciences, years of leading meditation teacher trainings and years of shepherding clients towards inner peace through one on one work, the absolute creme of the crop in terms of practices that actually, sustainably change your life, have risen up.
It is that thick oozy double cream that I am sharing with you here.
In creating this course I asked myself a few questions that became the very foundation of what this course if about.
Here they are -
What are the mindset practices that sustainably help people and take them off this never ending hamster wheel of personal growth?
What are the mental disciplines that directly address the challenges that you and I face each and every day? The stressors, the pressures and the instabilities of the world.
What is actually going to change your nervous system, your unconscious reactions, the way your brain is currently wired and the neural coherence between your brain and your heart?
What are the therapeutic and psychological contemplative disciplines that bring people more fully alive?
And how will they TRULY help you (and me) as a husband, father, wife, mum, friend, employer, employee, son or daughter be the most stable and alive that I can be?
In order to answer the above questions with you, I’ve decided to shelve our flagship teacher training to run this training, not (necessarily) to create teachers but to change lives.
And I hope, if you are drawn to this course, you will be able to join us.
One question that I get asked about this training is if it is a spiritual or religious training.
The answer is no, it isn’t. My family (my wife, my son and I) aren’t religious but we have a spiritual daily practice of reading the bible, meditating, prayer journaling and more. We love and worship God and we hope, sincerely, that this work can glorify Him. It was, in fact, our morning contemplations and conversations with God that led us to shelf the teacher training and run this course in its place this year.
But in saying all of that, the contents of this training are about fine tuning your mind, body and heart-centred emotions so that whatever you believe comes more alive for you and you can create a deeper sense of peace and wholehearted living regardless of your spiritual or religious orientation.
You can read more about my spiritual views and us becoming more of a God focused business here if you’d like.
Here’s some more specific info about the training -
CURRICULUM
This course is made up of practical tools that only require what you already have within you. You don’t need any bells or whistles - nothing! Just your body, mind, heart, an internet connection and a comfortable place to sit!
Once you know how to use the tools that you already have they will be with you forever.
You will see below that each session is geared towards practical healing. And practical healing is what we call inner gardening, which requires 3 things; preparing the garden bed and all the tools, uprooting or pruning the old, planting the new and enjoying the garden.
You’ll see that the first section is focused on preparing the garden bed (learning how to breath effectively, how to posture your heart and how to meditate), then the second section is focused on turning the soil over and removing the weeds (thought processes, emotions and mental habits that are no longer relevant to you) and the third section is focused more of planting seeds (recognising what you want to grow) enjoying the garden (learning how to just BE and enjoying the fruits of your labour and thanks giving for what you do already have).
This curriculum offer a holistic roadmap for psychological and neurological change! And don’t just trust me, because obviously I will be bias because I love this stuff. Read the words of all of the beautiful people who have done this course with us already!
Here’s a more detailed look at the course layout……
PART 1.
In part one we learn the dynamic principles of a consistent meditation practice. Once we learn how to meditate and have our own consistent practice we can then work with the more subtle therapeutic nuances that come with Part 2.
LESSON 1 - WELCOME AND PREPARATION
How to posture your heart as preparation for meditation using what we call “the prayer sandwich”
How to use the “arc of breathwork” to regulate your nervous system and prepare for meditation
LESSON 2 - THE POWER OF CONCENTRATION

How to build a stable, consistent, rigidity free, concentration based meditation practice using the “inner and outer circles of concentration”
LESSON 3 - SENSITIVITY
How we can use our 5 senses to foster presence, patience and become less distractible
How working with the senses increase our capacity to concentrate
Learn how to meditate safely by using the senses in cases of extreme stress, mental turbulence or PTSD.
PART 2
After setting up a really solid meditation practice in part 1, which is like preparing the garden, we can now rip up the weeds, prune the old plants and clarify what we want to grow.
In this section we dive deep into the subtle yet highly effective contemplative practices that make up the therapeutic aspect of this meditation course. The same foundational meditation practice remains, but now we add different points of focus to encourage deep change in the mind and brain.
LESSON 4 - RELEASING STRESS
How to prime your nervous system to be able to let go of stress related tendencies
The benefits of conscious mind wandering inside of meditation and how it can help release accumulated stressors
Developing a new relationship with the whole idea of stress
LESSON 5 - DEFENSELESSNESS
Disarming the reactive tendencies and stress inducing habits of the ego that create inner and outer conflict
Opening and collapsing rigid, unhelpful mental structures
LESSON 6 - BASIC GOODNESS
Negating the striving and over-efforting habits of the mind and culture we live in.
Returning home to knowledge of innate worth and innocence.
Understanding the basic building blocks of the mind and why our unique brains are wired the way they are, for better or worse!

Meditation’s most powerful heart tool to build emotional wellbeing: equanimity.
Meditation strategies to release harboured emotions including the E.A.S.E method
How you attitude towards your emotions can build emotional resilience
LESSON 8 - SAFETY AND ANXIETY
How deep inner experiences of safety and peace pave the way to less anxiety
How releasing limiting beliefs unravel the minds anxious tendencies
LESSON 9 - IDENTITY
Clarify the difference between personality and identity. In other words, the difference between who you really are and who you have become, or what psychologists call your true self and your false self.
Learn to dis-identify from the afflictions of the mind that promote suffering.
PART 3
In part 3 we begin to plant seeds in the garden bed, water then daily and eventually enjoy the fruits and flowers of our meditation practice.
LESSON 10 - THE 3 MOST POWERFUL QUESTIONS
How to finish your meditation in the most beautiful way, growing inner states of appreciation, positive expectation and deliberate intention.

Integrating all course materials into an ongoing practice so you can apply everything you learnt from now into the future.
“You get the sense that Michael really lives what he speaks and when I try to integrate these practices into my own life Michael always was able to give really poignant and specific advice. Michael has the rare skill of trying to explain grand philosophies and practices through little anecdotes that give that precious "aha" moment.” - Mat F, Sydney
All of the content in this course serves as a foundation for our Meditation Coach Training. If you want to learn how to take this content and use to serve others we offer a bundle price for both courses (1000 bucks off), so check that out! The MCT continues straight on after this course for an extra 6 months.
WHY WE NEED THIS COURSE
You as a youngster probably weren’t taught that art of holistic wellbeing and how to thrive as a human being.
You might have learnt how to write a good essay, how to apply trigonometry, how to write, prepare and cost a menu (if you were a chef like me) or how to dissect a rat in high school science.
All these kinds of things prepare us for the workforce. But they don’t prepare us for life.
If we want this type of knowledge we have to hunt it out ourselves. We were told what to learn but we were never taught how to use the very thing we are meant to learn with: our minds and hearts.
Every report card I ever got from teachers said that “Michael has great potential as a student but is easily distracted by other students,” yet we were never taught how to concentrate! I got told I lacked compassion, yet I was never taught HOW to grow compassion within myself or how to extend it to another.
We typically don’t learn anything about -
How to balance our nervous system, or even what our nervous system is! Which, when we understand that we interpret our whole world through our nervous system, it’s kind of a big deal!
How to breathe and how paramount breathing is for our health
Why our mind does what it does and thinks how it thinks
How to master our distractions
How to develop emotional intelligence and let go of past experiences
How to live with meaning and purpose
How to let go and adapt
There comes a time where we take a small portion of all the information we gathered in school or university that’s relevant to us, and apply it in our chosen field. And we’re left with questions that bubble up from a lack of deeper fulfilment in life. We might be working, making money, going through the motions, but our heart isn’t on fire for life.
At this point, if we don’t know what to do we either become restless and destructive or apathetic and lethargic.
Either way, it is no way to truly live and we teach this course with such passion because we wish this information - as simple as it is - was taught to all of us, with paramount importance, from a young age. We want your heart to be on fire and for you to truly LIVE.

COURSE FEE
$1750 AUD
We ran three rounds of this course in 2024 all at the above fee, which, for what this course is, is really reasonable!
Yet, as we move deeper into 2025 we have realised 2 things:
1) Money is tight as inflation is high in all parts of the world, and
2) It’s in these times that we need tools like what this course can bring and a solid supportive community to thrive in such times.
For these reasons, for the first time ever we have decided to cut the Hearts On Fire course fee down from $1750 to -
$1100
AND also for the first time it comes with the free gifts of
How to breathe course
STILLNESS, how to meditate course
AND if you want to do this course with a friend, let us know and the second person can have half off!

”Michael is such an excellent teacher and I genuinely sing his praises to anyone that’ll listen. Michael is a teacher who walks the talk and he knows his shit! His heart is so big and his genuine kindness and compassion means he holds an open and safe space for everyone. This coupled with his humour and total authenticity means the sessions are fun, heartfelt and so, so REAL. There’s no pretence with Michael, no ‘holier than thou’ - just pure human being-ness that carries his students through the course with such ease and beauty. Everything we learned on the training; the practices, the science and the philosophy, have all come together in my life so beautifully and I feel very different now. I feel as though I have an extensive tool kit to turn to when life gets tricky, as well as a deeper, more heartfelt connection with The Divine. When it comes to teaching, I am so much more relaxed and confident in my ability to guide others. It all feels much more natural now.” - Amelie
