Teachers and leaders of the Aquarian Age need to have the ability to manage stress and renew vitality on a constant basis. Vitality is our first principle, our primary virtue. We don't run away from stress; we awaken vitality in order to manage stress. Yogis and teachers need to hone their capacity to manage stress so that it elevates daily experience. Energy management starts with the many human habits that either promote or demote body, mind, and spirit wellness. Stamina is our personal "sustainable energy." Are we depleting, maintaining, or renewing our individual reserves? Do we use and share skills and strategies for a life that thrives and fulfills?

This course aims to provide tools to provoke, awaken, and integrate the innate healing capacities within every cell of the mind, body, and spirit. We will identify techniques and interventions to nurture positive habits and cultivate vitality. We'll explore and identify for ourselves those things?that may be overlooked or hidden within you. Are they habits, beliefs, strategies that no longer serve you and diminish your vitality?

It's time for us to rise above our own inner conflicts and habits of struggling to survive. A deeper study of our own stressors and coping mechanisms will lead us to a higher level of energy, personal development, and human functionality. This, in turn, will naturally be of service to those around us.

Yogi Bhajan spoke again and again of the challenges we would face in the coming Age and how to prepare for them. There is increasingly less room for error as millions succumb to the pressures of the Aquarian shift. We are called to lead and teach in a time of great change; and change, of course, brings stress. Therefore, as challenges increase, we must master our own lives and rise above the energy wave of turmoil so we can joyously be of great service to humanity.
