Our minds our marvelous machines. We begin our lives separating from the protection of the womb to enter a wondrous new environment. Our minds carry no baggage. Immediately we start to become aware of ourselves and other things through sound, sight, smell, taste and touch as we actively engage with our new world. We are open to all stimuli, since we have nothing in this world to compare them with. We work naturally to understand more of ourselves and our surroundings to get what we want and need. And we learn. Fast.
As adults, these things don’t happen by chance; they happen through thoughtfulness. Distinct from the self-centered “it’s all about me,” this is your “I” being consciously active along these four dimensions.
The Energy Exchange™ is all about getting back to the talents that made us successful human beings in the first place:
The Vowels of Personal Power help you liberate and direct your personal creative energy. There are two paths for this energy. First, it flows within you, allowing you to create your own desired future. Second, it flows between you and others, allowing you to collaborate to create a joint desired future. When either of these energy paths is blocked, the result is always less than it could be.
There are three Practices associated with each of the four facets of the Thoughtful “I” – twelve Practices in all. These 12 Practices give you the personal power of your human birthright. While each of these practices can be learned independently, they build on one another to give you even greater leverage.
