We all live in the ebb and flow of the great processes of life— what we can call the “biorhythm of life.” Our individual lives are acted out in concert or in conflict with that basic flow of life and the micro- and macro-cycles that compose it. About 80% of what happens in our life is automatic. We have little to say about it. Even so, at each moment there is a potent, enigmatic potential to make a choice that will make a difference.
There is a way to stay aligned and awake to our aliveness, to our purpose, so that we can fulfill our destiny. Our habits, our self-discipline and the quality of our consciousness affect our capacity to make those key decisions or choices, the ones that will lead us toward our destiny or the ones that drive us more deeply into our subconscious patterns, into the arms of Fate.
This course reveals to you your cycles, habits, lifestyle and the challenges of maturity encountered on the way to building character. The transformative power of this training module lies in the combination of the techniques and remarkable teachings of Kundalini Yoga and Humanology, with your own passion and interactions with each other.
