About this Event
Join us for an evening with Joel and Michelle Levey authors of 'Living in Balance', 'Mindfulness, Meditation, and Mind-Fitness' and 'The Fine Arts of Relaxation, Concentration, and Meditation' for their newest book 'Manual for the Awakening Warrior: The Special Forces Secret Mind-Body-Spirit Training Program'.
Learn how to befriend your inner enemies, avoid self-sabotage and ambush by distractions, and respond skillfully to challenges with deeper courage and compassion. Transform the battlefield of daily life into a zone of peace where wisdom, resilience, and compassion can flourish.
With these teachings, readers can awaken the strength to navigate these uncertain times with grace, wisdom, and courage.
About this book:
Imagine training twenty-five elite soldiers whose actions could start or stop the next world war. What would you teach them?
The authors once faced this profound question in creating the U.S. Army’s “Jedi Warrior Training Program.” This book details this secret program, described by West Point leaders as “the most exquisite orchestration of human technology we have ever seen.” The comprehensive Jedi training encompassed intensive meditation, mindfulness, neurofeedback and cyberphysiology, energy healing, Aikido, and mission simulations.
Emerging at the pinnacle of the psychic-ops era of research into extraordinary human abilities, the program was founded on the Army’s vision of Evolutionary Tactics: A Manual for the First Earth Battalion. George Leonard and Michael Murphy, co-founders of Esalen—epicenter of the human potential movement—called it “the most intensive leadership and human development training program in modern times.” Designed for elite soldiers, the practices in this training are valuable for everyone aiming to heighten focus, deploy ethical discernment, cultivate responsive awareness, and “kindfulness.”
