COREPOWER SUMMARYINTRODUCTIONThis Corepower book can be seen as a guide for connection and integrity. It allows you to lead yourself on the path to your core and to a deeper connection with yourself and your environment. The inner (personal) changes spurred on by the tools provided will likely also instigate a broader transformation that may be reflected in more meaningful societal contribution, anchored by a clearer sense of personal responsibility. This book can provide you with insight about what you need in order to live a balanced life. The exercises and techniques detailed in this book can help you transform negative and destructive patterns of thought and behavior into attitudes that facilitate growth for yourself and your environment. Among the benefits you might experience are a deeper inner calmness, a higher stress tolerance, emotional stability, a healthy way of dealing with physical and emotional boundaries, focus and singleness of purpose, and a higher awareness of your goals on earth. Each chapter of the book works with a specific dimension; power, love, wisdom, spirit and earth. You can go through all of them in order or skip to a chapter that appeals to you. When you work through the whole book you will be centered on different levels and experience a cycle of deep transformation. You will be confronted with knots that must be untied so that your energy can flow through freely. In that sense you can see the book as a journey through your kundalini, the central energy channel of your body. 1.COREPOWER: POWER (physical aspect)The essence of this chapter is to learn how to be in your power here and now, and how to reconnect to your power each time the connection breaks. It is like being a little flower that gets trodden down but sucks energy into its system through its roots in order to bloom again. Living in your own power goes hand in hand with respecting other people's power, without competition, without dominance over one another. Your connection to your power can be expressed in your daily life through a lot of small acts such as stating your opinion when you know it will not be applauded or intervening when a person is insulted in your presence. 2.COREPOWER: LOVE (emotional aspect)This chapter is about living lovingly and connectedly with yourself and others. If you don't express your emotions, you live in a disconnected way, which can easily lead to destructive behavior and alienation. It is like building a wall around yourself, closing yourself off so that you are the only left capable of coming near. If you develop a deep connection with your emotions and a healthy way of dealing with them you will benefit from it. The exercises and techniques in this chapter will guide you to open your heart, transform your emotions, communicate in a loving way, conquer old and destructive emotional patterns and build new constructive ones based on love. 3.COREPOWER: WISDOM (mental aspect)In this chapter, you are provided with tools in order to use your head in a useful way: to focus, let go, think positively, co-create and find your life's mission. It also introduces you to the Corepower compass, the Corepower conceptual, and Coki, the healing energy of Corepower. These form the book's core. They provide insight and can be used to achieve deep personal leadership; acting ethically from your core. 4.COREPOWER: SPIRIT (spiritual aspect)This chapter is about connecting with your spirit. This has to do everything with letting your ego die and transforming at a higher level. To succeed in this mission you have to let go of false ideas about your identity, such as a certain standard of life, a specific clothing style or a certain amount of work that you tell yourself you need to do.
