"Nobody cares if you can't dance well.
Just get up and dance. Great dancers are not great because
of their technique, they are great because of their passion.
-- Martha Graham

"Everyone breathes, but not everyone takes in the same amount of oxygen. A five percent increase in your breath capacity can increase the efficiency of your body a thousand-fold." 

"Breathing is the only automatic vital life function we can voluntarily control, deliberately affecting the autonomic nervous system, as well as emotions. Take time to learn how to breathe effectively, and you will improve the quality of your entire life." 

"I believe that the food you choose should taste delicious and have a function."

"Detoxification is the process of neutralizing or eliminating toxins. A body loaded down with toxins may have a weakened immune system, an over-worked liver, and possibly a dysfunctional colon. Similarly, a mind filled with toxic thoughts may make it difficult for one to focus."

"Instead of simply trying to address the symptoms through prescription drugs and other invasive methods, a holistic approach attempts to get to the root cause. It requires that you become a partner in your own healing."

"Healthy eating and exercise go hand-in-hand for optimum health, with the other pieces being adequate sleep and breath control."

"Coming to a healthy weight is much more than simply looking good. It's about having the energy to fulfill your destiny. Your life vision becomes the motivating factor."

"The best way to manage your weight is to develop a healthy lifestyle. Instead of following a rigid diet that you would be a slave to, begin to experiment and experience so that you can become the master of your own body."

"The Power Living® Practice is not about deprivation, it's about observation and moderation. Since the best way to overcome a habit is to replace it with another one, our strategy is to add positive behaviors and simply make you aware of potentially harmful habits."
