"A life-changing course for anyone who wants to connect practice with theory and strengthen their health"

Quick summary

Michael discovered how to bridge the gap between spiritual theory and practice. Through breath and nervous system work, he experienced profound shifts in just weeks, naturally releasing old habits like white bread and alcohol that years of thinking about couldn't change.

This course has helped me immensely to connect a lot of the theories and "head ideas" about spirtual living with concrete practice. Over the years, I have been exposed to many philosphies and ideas that sound great when you hear them, and get you fired up for a short time, but then I've always found myself slipping back to old habits. Integrating JuanPa's action-based practices that strengthen the breath and nervous system has had such an amazing impact on me in just a short few weeks. Obviously, it's a journey that continues on, but integrating these active flows has awoken some unconscious impulses that I had up till now only been able to think on but never carry through with dedicated action. Examples such as on Day 5, I ate some white bread, something I've always wanted to drop but never really been able to do it, and I just felt, this is not flavorful or a pleasant experience. I haven't had any since. And towards the end of this program, it just dawned on me intitutively that unless I give up alcohol completely, I will not progress. Again, something I had long considered in my headspace, but it now feels like a visceral urge in my gut. I don't feel I need "confidence" or pep talks to achieve it because there's such a visceral "No" in my whole being. That's definitely a first. So I can only thank JuanPa and Mindvalley for bringing such a life-changing course for anyone who wants to connect practice with theory and strengthen their health, attitude and ability to be Ultra Present.
