In the first instructional manual of this series, "Starting Your Practice," you developed the physical skills needed for the etheric practice of Qi Gong. This manual now presents the Guiding Principles of Qi Gong and will instruct you in how to apply these principles in the primary levels of existence... physical/energetic (Etheric), feeling/emotional (Astral), and mental (Causal). It is through the application of these principles to your experiences on every level of existence that you realize the unbinding of your consciousness from the Qi of Creation and from the reflections of the beliefs of separation and limitation you are choosing to experience within Her. The spiritual theory of Qi Gong becomes a method for living through the Keys for the Transformation of Human Consciousness. These four keys were explained in the book "Experiencing God's Reflection The Role Qi Gong Plays in the Transformation of Consciousness." But, as you will soon experience, these transformational keys become the Guiding Principles as they play out through the energetic centers through your body, your tan tiens. In your spiritual life, the Guiding Principles are where the rubber meets the road. These principles help you, as consciousness, relate to and interact with the Qi of energy, emotion, and thought. They show you how to experience all levels of Creation without attaching your consciousness to Her through your acts of judgment, control, and manipulation. The manual opens with "The Spinal Series" (chapter 2), an ingenious exercise set that both empowers your core pumps and deepens your awareness of how and where the energy of movement manifests within you. You first experience The Guiding Principles by way of the "Unity Form," a beautiful Qi Gong set composed of 18 movements. Chapter 3 gives you precise and easy-to-follow instructions for learning this form. Chapter 4 is the heart of the manual. Here the seven Guiding Principles are explained; then each one is clearly demonstrated through specific movements chosen from the forms and exercises you have learned. As you embody these principles, as you understand, feel, and do them, you will experience how they allow two natural processes to occur in and around you the process of balance and the process of integration. Balance and integration are the reflections within Creation of the love and oneness of your Soul. It is only you, through your perceived needs to judge, control, and manipulate Qi and what you experience within Her, that disrupts these processes Meditation is an essential piece of Qi Gong Practice. "The Qi Gong Meditation of Three Levels" is shared in chapter 5. And though this meditation is experienced on all three levels of your being, what it most clearly reveals is the causal or mental practice of Qi Gong. At this level of the practice, you see that your consciousness, Who You Are, does not come from the continuous interplay of comparative or complementary expressions of causal Qi, your thoughts. The manual ends with the astral or feeling/emotional practice of Qi Gong. This last chapter shows you that your emotions, too, are a duality of yin and yang, and that how you choose to relate to these forces also binds your consciousness to the experience of separation and a limited ability to express love and power. As you live your life through the Guiding Principles, you are literally remembering how to experience vibrational existence (Creation) on all levels while, at the same time, knowing you are the Consciousness of God. You remember that you are not defined or limited by any of the experiences you are now having.

This is a book that speaks to educational professionals, parents, healthcare providers and a general readership about how sensory integration difficulties, including autism, interfere with learning. The book provides practical, hands-on applications that teachers, aides, parents, therapists and family members can use to help young people with these difficulties learn and engage socially. The book is based, in part, on the clinical studies the author has conducted as well as her experience. There are numerous case studies in the book. The manuscript has been reviewed in its entirety by experts in the field. New Frontiers in Sensory Integration focuses on providing support for children with autism and sensory needs though the resources contained here can be used effectively for all children. The causes behind what we call Sensory Processing Disorders remain unknown despite ongoing research. This is because causation is likely a mixed bag of genetic, epigenetic, environmental, neurodevelopmental and cultural factors. The important question that this book addresses is what we as parents, therapists, educators and care-providers can do about this growing epidemic in an empowered and sustainable way, no matter the causation.

As societies progress from developing to developed societies, and finally to societies of abundance, the types of stress that people face also progresses. The physical stresses of survival, providing enough food, and obtaining clean water are replaced by mental and emotional stresses related to time and information. While societies of abundance provide incredible technology and modern conveniences, life can often be more complicated and chaotic as we get bombarded with information, options, and choices. It becomes difficult to discern what is important from what is insignificant, and important items get lost in clutter, disorder, and distraction. This leads to: Stress: One of the 4 major causes of illness and disease, and perhaps the one that is most readily within our control. Perceived lack of time: The feeling that we have too much to do and not enough time to do it. Activity without accomplishment: The feeling that we go around and around in circles without getting anywhere, and an ever-growing accumulation of incomplete projects. Indecisiveness: Stemming from having too many choices and the inability to discern what is important. The result is we don't get anywhere. We don't achieve what we want to. We lose time to trivial matters and enjoy life less. By removing the clutter and focusing, we can alleviate the stress, accomplish the important tasks in the time that we have, and clearly see our options so we can make optimal decisions.
