Notes de l'éditeur
- This course is outlined along the four pillars of Self: Physical, Emotional, Mental and Spiritual wellness. In this presentation we will discuss definitions and benefits of each “pillar”. Then we will outline the key values of each pillar. These “key values” are then further explained, and discussed. Exercises and anecdotes are given in some of the notes as well as key notes for discussion. The course is founded on sensibility and wellness. The value to the student is directly proportional to their interest and attention on the application of this material. Knowing about personal pillars is good, living them is essential.
- Personal Pillars is total wellness on every level of ones self through the synchronization of core values. Balanced attention to these values and balanced application of best practices for each value results in optimal evolution toward total wellness.
- Personal Pillars offers a system to enhance your potential energy. To refine your participation and evolve your awareness in your belief system. This approach allows Personal Pillars to augment all religious beliefs and enhance your daily experience.
- Personal Pillars Personal Pillars Training standardizes the discussion of self into the following four components: physical. emotional, mental and spiritual. Each of these “Pillars” have values that act as focal points in aligned evolution. We will talk in detail on each of these values though out this presentation. PHYSICAL: Focuses on our bodies. The key aspects of physical health: diet, breathing, exercise, and sleep. EMOTIONAL: Focuses on our feelings. The key aspects of emotional health: knowing yourself, loving yourself, loving others, and healing yourself. MENTAL: Focuses on our thoughts. The key aspects of mental health: purpose, perception, attention, and clear, clean thought. SPIRITUAL: Focuses on our spirituality. The key aspects of spiritual health: connecting to your inner purpose, understanding the delineation between your prayers and spiritual process and those of others.
- BASIC VALUES: While all values will impact the well-being in each pillar there are a few that have direct impact on all pillars. These are the basic values of These values are a part of each pillar. BASIC: BALANCE: (harmony, equilibrium) To equally and simultaneously integrate the values of each pillar while maintaining a harmonious connection between all values. BASIC: ALIGNMENT: (proper positioning, arraignment, order) To strategically position and arrange the elements of each pillar to increase the unification and strength of each pillar through effective and efficient collaboration. BASIC: SENSITIVITY: (detecting minute differences, awareness, listening) To stay receptive, responsive and aware of self and your environment allows greater objective focus on the process of your evolution. Holding attention to the values requires sensitivity. BASIC: INTEGRITY: (soundness, completeness) To completely support all values of each pillar strengthens your well-being against life challenges. BASIC: CONSISTANCY: (regularity, sustainability) To make sustainable changes to your growth allows for continued, consistent growth in personal evolution.
- PILLAR BASICS: BALANCE: Applying equal interest in all values simultaneously weaves a stronger foundation. When your effort and interest is balanced across all of the pillars of Personal Pillars greater progress is made in your evolution. Balanced Foundation is essential to stabilize your evolutionary process. This implies that all pillars need your synchronized interest to develop optimally. Balanced development of the pillars ensures a more stable connection with wholesome self. Peaks in any one pillar are limited when development of other pillars is weak in comparison. PILLAR BASICS: BALANCE: EQUALIZATION: Equal interest and effort to support all pillar values minimizes the effect of a weaker value impacting the growth of a stronger value. PILLAR BASICS: BALANCE: SYNCHRONIZATION: By weaving your efforts with simultaneous interest in all values you create a greater growth in each single value. This is a result of the strength found in the binding unity of all values. Remember the saying “United we stand, divided we fall”? Here is is “United we evolve, divided we dissolve.” PILLAR BASICS: BALANCE: STABILITY: Balance is not possible with out stability. Proper stability and grounding in the formation of the foundation of each pillar is fundamental to the healthy evolution of your aligned life. PILLAR BASICS: BALANCE: HARMONY: Finding harmony in your effort and interest amongst the values of each pillar reduces the possibility of distortion in your evolution. Where a lack of harmony is found you can look for areas of imbalance and take appropriate action.
- PILLAR BASICS:ALIGNMENT: Benefit from the values for each pillar is enhanced through their strategic alignment and positioning. As an example: your physical body is impacted by the skeletal and muscular alignment. PILLAR BASICS:ALIGNMENT: STRUCTURE: Understanding organization of the elements of each pillar provides insight into the proper alignment of your efforts in self improvement. PILLAR BASICS:ALIGNMENT: ARRANGEMENT: Efficient arraignment of efforts/actions/interest in the values enhances the effect of the exercises. PILLAR BASICS:ALIGNMENT: POSITIONING: The strategic positioning of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual self through refined coordination of each pillars elements creates efficiencies that support and streamline the benefits. For example better physical coordination reduces bio-mechanic misalignment. EXAMPLE: Increasing physical health may include stretching, exercise and the intake of proper water and nutrients. Strategic alignment can be used to optimize the benefit of each individual effort towards total wellness. Proper order and ratio are possible measures of this strategic alignment. Physical alignment can consist of muscular, nerve, skeletal, and stretching. These can be enhanced through body work like: Acupuncture, Accupressure, Massage, Shiatsu, Paladias, Rolfing, Yoga, Dance, Martial Arts. These forms of practice will heighten multi-dimensional mind/body awareness.

SPIRITUAL INTUITION: Intuition is aided by the SPIRITUAL COLLECTIVE ENERGY: SPIRITUAL CURRENT FLOW: The Current flow is derived from the the will and intent of self and others. Of importance is the awareness of the will of self in comparison to the will of your environment, or the micro macro perspective.
- SPIRITUAL:VISION: <definition and benefits>Spiritual Vision is like a beacon shining higher minds guiding light. Being able to see the big picture. This helps guide the other pillars when perhaps sensibility is not available. For example if mental clarity is lacking, spiritual vision can help guide through the mental agitation.

EXERCISE: To consolidate your collective energy imaging getting the following five people at a table: your kindergarten teacher, for passion, your college professor, for interest, your artist teacher, for dreams, your employer for experiences and your spouse or partner for personality power points. In your imagination have each outlines what you do best, write these points on a piece of paper. Know look at this list, free from their perspectives and consolidate your potential by outlining a vision for yourself.

SPRITUAL: CURRENT FLOW: PERSONAL WILL: SPRITUAL: CURRENT FLOW: OTHERS WILL: SPRITUAL: CURRENT FLOW: ENVIRONMENT RELATIONSHIP: SPRITUAL: CURRENT FLOW: CURRENT HARMONICS: Photo: The Rosette Nebula in Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Sulfur The Rosette Nebula is a large emission nebula located 3000 light-years away. The great abundance of hydrogen gas gives NGC 2237 its red color in most photographs . The wind from the open cluster of stars known as NGC 2244 has cleared a hole in the nebula's center. The above photograph , however, was taken in the light emitted by three elements of the gas ionized by the energetic central stars. Here green light originating from oxygen and blue light originating from sulfur supplements the red from hydrogen. Filaments of dark dust lace run through the nebula's gases. The origin of recently observed fast-moving molecular knots in the Rosette Nebula remains under investigation.
