This is because living well is both a discipline and an art achieved through the cultivation of rituals and practices that, although well within your grasp, require consistency to work. Our busy lives often take precedence, making consistency increasingly difficult. Body, Mind, Spirit Exercises for Lifestyle Healing is a serendipitous invitation to enter this new year in spirit and strength, as it teaches you how to cultivate the rituals and practices that are essential to well-being. You will learn how to overcome the monumental obstacles of a busy life with templates, realistic observation, analyzation, and planning. Moreover, this course demonstrates what psychology research and world philosophies report are best practices to reach self-actualization, and offers many practices for you to choose from for your individualized program. Eventually, you will find the driving force behind consistency switches from teacher/peer accountability to your positive feelings, new-found emotions, as well as increased productivity and vitality that your new lifestyle delivers. By the time you finish this course, these self-care rituals and practices will have become effortless habits you simply cannot live without. You will experience their value, necessity, and benefits in your family life, work life, and relationship with Self. Dr. Byrd-Rider and the Center extend our offering with the hope you will develop self-care rituals, practices and habits, which are the foundational path to self-actualization and Nirvana.

As we awaken to 2021 in love, wisdom, and trust, may we deepen into gratitude for the resonance and vitality of Dr. Motoyama’s mission: to illuminate humanity through the integration of science and spirituality. May we also share our gratitude with you, our community, for standing with us this precarious year and the last 28 years. CIHS has long been empowered by philanthropy. Our existence has relied on a small group of individuals and organizations who have trusted our foun...ding vision and who believe in our aspirational future. All that we have done and continue to do is made possible thanks to your generosity, your participation, and your care.
