How to practice: how to structure change for lasting transformation, by teacher Juan Li

How to design a personal self-development practice is one of the greatest challenges faced by practitioners from the beginner to the experienced level. It is relatively easy these days, to accumulate a lot of powerful transformation techniques, and equally easy to abandon them once the initial stimulation after learning has worn off. With time, we accumulate a great deal of resources for self-transformation, but are unable to coherently organize them into an effective self-sustaining program of daily practice. As a result, a sense of unease and not feeling good with oneself gradually grows from the very practices which are supposed to point the way. We know we have the tools to feel better, we know this is what we wanted to have, but do not know where to begin to streamline a sequence that could finally get our lives going in the direction we really want to grow.

In this workshop we look into the essentials for designing a successful practice program capable of generating favorable conditions for lasting transformation and high self-esteem. We learn how to establish short term, intermediate and ultimate goals with the collection of transformation techniques we have acquired.
