Water, Water, Water:  MORE... |
Have you ever seen a wilting house plant, kept half alive, never getting all the water
it really needs to look its best? Your body is just like that plant, half wilted, so to
speak if you don't drink enough pure water. Next to oxygen, water is the most important
nutrient for life. Over two thirds of your body is made up of water, and your brain, your
most vital organ, is approximately 85 percent water. Despite how vital this substance is
to our health and survival, most of us do not drink enough water to enjoy the best of
health. Coffee, tea, sodas and other liquids do not have the same properties as plain,
pure water. In fact most of us drink more fluids each day that act as diuretics, than we
drink of pure water each day. Diuretics cause our bodies to eliminate more water than they
provide. Learn more about the affects of dehydration to our bodies and the resulting
maladies. This is a MUST DO course! |

The Inner Smile:  |
The most universal of all positive energies recognizable by the human mind is a
genuine smile. Regardless of where one travels on the globe, a smile is welcomed by every
culture. What is it that we recognize in a smile? Is it the expression on one's face, or
is it the actual energy transferred from one person to another? We believe that there is an attracting, healing quality that radiates form the process of smiling. By learning to create, duplicate and cultivate this same healing energy, we can direct and focus this healing energy to the organs, glands and systems within the body, and rid them of the harmful effects of stored negative emotions. Each area of the body has a propensity for attracting and holding emotions that are either harmful or helpful to the overall health of the body, mind and spirit. This technique utilizes the five phases of Traditional Chinese Medicine in a powerful, yet simple way that can be learned by anyone. |

| Tree Standing Qigong (Pronounced "Chee-Gong")  |
This particular form of qigong, Zhan Zhuang, is about four thousand years old, and is
used for everything from building strength for martial arts to self-healing, lowering
blood pressure, increasing respiration and alertness, reducing stress and pain, and
improving health and energy overall. Zhan Zhuang means "standing like a tree,"
aptly called, because all the Zhan Zhuang postures are performed standing, in utter
motionlessness. Nothing moves on the outside. All the motion is internal. In this
Practice, through the use of the mind, we learn to rely less on the active muscles and
more on the passive muscles. The result is a high level of internal motion within the body that drives your Qi to move through its energy channels as the blood surges through your veins and arteries. Eventually you expand beyond your normal limits of endurance to a highly energized state of alert tranquillity. |

| Esoma Kungfu:
|
"It is the philosophy of any system that holds the tactics, techniques and
applications together. Without a full understanding of the subtle concepts, a martial art
becomes a group of pre-defined movements, void of any true continuity. Esoma has a well
defined philosophy that binds the resulting tactics to create a remarkably well formed
art." - Joe Martin, Founder |

art takes time and dedication before it becomes effective on the street. This course

become a victim. If attack is inevitable, you will learn what natural weapons you have,
how to effectively use them to the attacker's vital areas! By the end of the course, you will be confident enough of your skills to break a board with your bare hands!

Body Mirror Healing Your body is a mirror of your life. Symptoms in the body reflect particular tensions in the consciousness. The Body Mirror System works with the connection between your body and your consciousness. We see the auras and chakras and direct your energy by using thought- forms to heal the body and release pain. The healing process involves not only releasing the tensions from your body, but also resolving the tensions in your consciousness about that part of your life. Doing this allows you to release the inner cause of the symptoms. It is then possible for your body and your consciousness and that part of your life to return to their natural state of balance, and for you to return to the way of being that works best for you. |
