Overwhelming the self
When our days seem hard, eventually they become a heavy burden that overwhelms us. In such moments, we wish to lead a different life, to rouse our curiosity, to experience and develop a passion for learning something new. We come to realize that we haven’t chosen what we have lived; that our history – our group, social, and family history – is a force that automatically determines both our choices and our actions. Realizing that we lead a life incompatible with our abilities and our yearnings, that our programming has been determined by others, as well as understanding where we are, where we stand, and how and why we do the things we do, is, therefore, the beginning of the journey toward change, growth, and transformation.

Getting to know myself
When we convince ourselves that these disturbing feelings and emotions that overwhelm us arise from a default, pre-established form of programming, we pause for a moment, breathe consciously, and observe. We distance ourselves from our day-to day life and then give ourselves the space to serenely perceive our inner self. By means of breathing, we begin to become aware of our body. We give ourselves the opportunity to calmly, sincerely reconsider what is it that we want, what we are thinking about, what we are hearing, what we are observing. Learning to breathe slowly, deeply, and serenely relaxes our nervous system and brings about calm. And so, we calmly analyze our life, our possibilities, and our relationships. We acknowledge the kind of life we lead and the kind of life we desire to lead. In possession of such knowledge, we decide to act in order to evolve and transform ourselves.

Liberating myself
When we realize that we’re free to choose what we want, and so to take action with a firm intention to attain whatever it is we desire; when we understand that we’re free to make decisions, we then regain trust both in ourselves and in our creativity. Lust for life is reborn in you, as well as a desire to create things, to change and transform yourself. Thus empowered, we have a positive effect on our environment, because when we change, our world changes with us. The outside cannot limit us any longer. With such conviction, we act coherently and attract success.

We irradiate new light; we serve the world
When we live coherently with the new self that we have now become, we program our days the way we want to, and we advance toward our goals with conscious intention. With such new and vivifying light, we shine and we make our world shine with joy and success. We bring harmony to our health, our work, our couple, and our business… We live in peace and bring about peace.
