The Way of the World Unseen: By becoming familiar with <strong>and</strong> engaging your subtle body, you’ll start<br />
<strong>to</strong> see your body as an energy transformer, accessing the multiple “portals” in your body through<br />
which you can draw energy in<strong>to</strong> your body from nature <strong>and</strong> the universe <strong>to</strong> capitalize on your<br />
own energy potential, waking even more energy.<br />
The Way of Mindful Movement: You will learn specific movement principles in each practice that<br />
will help you <strong>to</strong> increase your energy capacity exponentially. You’ll come <strong>to</strong> discover that the<br />
conscious breath is the most important thing. The breath will become your compass, helping you<br />
<strong>to</strong> move your body in new ways <strong>and</strong> unlocking your physical <strong>and</strong> emotional transformation.<br />
The Way <strong>to</strong> You: Prepare <strong>to</strong> meet a “new you.” You will meet yourself for the first time in this new<br />
way. It will be a conscious, intentional encounter, an act of some of the highest love there is, one<br />
in which you meet your every aspect. You will become your own advocate for the longing in<br />
your heart, making the purposeful decision <strong>to</strong> embark on a journey of conscious self-exploration<br />
that will lead <strong>to</strong> a real awakening. You’ll open your eyes <strong>to</strong> the splendor, the magnificence, the<br />
joy, <strong>and</strong> the radiance of who you really are. Then, when you fall in love with yourself, this new<br />
awareness will offer even more immune-boosting energy generated from your own happiness.<br />

immediate results in your body <strong>and</strong> mind.<br />

mind that can intercede <strong>and</strong> override your instincts. You’ll learn <strong>to</strong> return <strong>to</strong> your most feeling,<br />
intuitive self through the journey of the practices <strong>and</strong> learn <strong>to</strong> partner with your body in order <strong>to</strong><br />
wake your energy <strong>and</strong> realize your greatest self. <strong>Your</strong> body is a wondrous creation, deserving of<br />
joyful, sensual exploration, <strong>and</strong> it is yours <strong>to</strong> lovingly exploit <strong>and</strong> nurture. When your body is<br />
well fed, properly exercised, <strong>and</strong> given good direction <strong>and</strong> fulfilling tasks <strong>to</strong> perform, your body<br />
loves you <strong>and</strong> wants <strong>to</strong> serve you. It wants <strong>to</strong> be utilized <strong>and</strong> optimized in the spirit of reverence<br />
<strong>and</strong> sensitivity <strong>to</strong> limits—always in moderation <strong>and</strong> with a kind of “effortless effort,” so that<br />
when the hour of need draws nigh, you are ready <strong>to</strong> rise <strong>to</strong> the occasion with energy <strong>to</strong> spare.<br />
When you commit yourself <strong>to</strong> energizing your body by giving it the loving attention it deserves,<br />
you’ll comm<strong>and</strong> its loyalty forever.<br />
The Way <strong>to</strong> Love: In keeping with the philosophy of the Tao, your cup will run over. You will literally<br />
fall in love with yourself <strong>and</strong> the world—bringing yourself in<strong>to</strong> the energy of love <strong>and</strong> inspiring<br />
yourself <strong>to</strong> manifest it, which is the purest, most potent, <strong>and</strong> powerful energy we as humans can<br />
know—fuel for evolution, fostering self-realization <strong>and</strong> greater consciousness <strong>and</strong> possibility in<br />
your life.<br />
The Journey of the <strong>Practices</strong><br />
Each practice is a world un<strong>to</strong> itself with its own language <strong>and</strong> unique qualities that will offer you<br />

inextricably connected <strong>to</strong> all the others, <strong>and</strong> that each builds on the others, sharing key elements in<br />
