10 Keys To Awakening

The Ten Keys are a pattern I saw after studying and practicing wellness systems from around the world for the last fifteen years, practices emphasized in every human tradition that focuses on experience. It’s not a highly intellectual list, but simple disciplines that we must each honor. As we recognize the nature of our minds, we notice thought patterns that continuously arise, and we see where our energy gravitates. As we become more skillful with managing energy, it becomes easier to maintain our inner peace. In a world of temporary conditions, this refinement is an ongoing process. Reflecting on our habits reveals the areas of our lives where we are thriving, where we would be wiser to preserve our energy, and where we must upgrade our approach. Chances are, there are things we are doing well, but some areas are using more energy than they deserve. Each of us could benefit from a routine check-in. Through scientific discoveries and spiritual techniques, we will explore honesty, responsibility, eating and sleeping well, exercising our bodies and minds for wholistic health, cultivating our relationships, and accepting the mysteries of life. Each section concludes with a series of questions to inspire contemplative reflection about the way we live each day, providing direct lines for reviewing imbalance, reigniting spiritual practices, and keeping us peaceful, regardless of the conditions.
