    Lesson Two

    Video 1: Spirit & Nature

    "The Tao doesn’t come and go. It is always

    present everywhere, just like the sky.

    If your mind is clouded, you won’t see it, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t there."

    ~Hua Hu Ching-Brian Walker

    Video 3:Timing & Patience

    “When the body and mind are balanced and healthy, people will crave tastes that naturally keep them in a state of balance. However, when a person is out of balance and harmony, wisdom fails and the person begins to crave substances and tastes that keep them out of balance.”

    ~Dr. Marc Halpern

    Video 2: Our Personality Needs Softening

    Help me to remember that virtue, though bitter of taste in the beginning, eventually becomes nectar; and evil is that which tastes sweet in the beginning, but always acts as poison in the end.”

    ~Paramahansa Yogananda-Whispers from Eternity

    Lesson Two Homework

    Use your journal to work on the following; make sure you put a date and location.

    (It will help when you review your journal, months or years later)

    • What is your worst personality trait? Be honest. It is probably the first thought that came to mind. Work on softening that over the next few months.

    • Recognize if you become more emotional with certain people or at times of the month. Log this information in your journal and try to be more aware before the trigger is released.

    • How well to you adapt to change or the unexpected?

    • Which of the 6 tastes do find yourself gravitating to mostly? Can you connect it to any need you may have that is not being fulfilled on some level?
