Following its path, you’ll learn how to attain the spiritual and physical balance needed to create your own optimum environment through:

-Understanding the experience of balance
-Balancing time, present time and change
-Balancing sound, vision and the components of reality
-Balancing your heart and breath
-Balancing “luminous vision” and the “luminous world”
-Understanding suffering and its causes
-Understanding your heart and breath and how they work together to help create balance
