WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

By the end of this workshop, you will have a daily practice to help you develop effortless power by cleansing, cultivating, and maximizing your energy in a natural way, which, in time and with consistent practice, will be transferred to all areas in your life.
THE 8 PRINCIPLES FOR SELF-DEVELOPMENT
PRINCIPLE #1: BREATH
BREATH IS THE FOUNDATION OF ENERGY ACCESS
Breath power, also called "Kokyu" in Japanese, is a self-purification ritual of declogging the system and awakening the body's energy centers while promoting the cultivation and circulation of KI (vital energy) through the entire system.
PRINCIPLE #2: ALIGNMENT
REFINE YOUR GEOMETRY THROUGH SELF-ALIGNMENT
Seeking self-alignment with our body is the practice of self-geometry. The way we function and perform depends upon the perfection of this geometry. Becoming aware of our present structure and refining it by consistent training, will allow the machine to function without any friction within itself.
PRINCIPLE #3: CENTERING
CENTERING WILL REVEAL THE DIRECTION TO FOLLOW
You must be aware of this center in order to move effectively in the world. The practice of deep breathing and self alignment makes us relax and drop all tension, anxiety, and anything that is not real, revealing our center.
PRINCIPLE #4: COORDINATION
OPERATE YOUR MACHINE AS ONE UNIT
In order to maximize your power, you have to understand how and when to move all of your body parts simultaneously and in perfect synchronicity. This will allow you to operate your machine as one unit, achieving maximum results with the minimum amount of effort.
PRINCIPLE #5: FLUIDITY
DO NOT PUSH THE RIVER - IT FLOWS BY ITSELF
Once we experience energy flowing without attachments or interruptions, in time and naturally, this state of being can be transferred to everything else we do, and then everything in life becomes a meditation.
PRINCIPLE #6: ADAPTABILITY
THE ONLY CONSTANT IN LIFE IS CHANGE
Adaptability is the capacity to change and learn something new, think on our feet, and move through different structures. Adaptability is freedom. The ability to adapt is not only for survival but for evolution and self development.
PRINCIPLE #7: BALANCE
BALANCE IS A MOVING TARGET
Balance is not static. Balance is the capability to be connected with the here and now and make all kinds of measurements and assessments, making decisions and actions on how to keep rearranging yourself with all of the things coming your way - the obstacles and challenges you are facing each moment.
PRINCIPLE #8: AWARENESS
PRACTICE YOUR MEDITATION
Zazen is considered the heart of meditation practice. The aim of zazen is just sitting, "opening the hand of thought," that is, suspending all judgmental thinking and letting words, ideas, images, and thoughts pass by without getting involved in them, becoming aware of conditioned patterns of thought and behavior, so that such patterns can be modified, eliminated or more efficiently put to use.

"This workshop has made a surprisingly profound difference in how I understand myself and others. Clearly, the ideas taught have been curated from a lifetime of intense training and learning, and Sensei Gomez is a fantastic teacher. Since starting this training, I increasingly find myself where I most want to be: on the threshold of new things with an increased awareness of possibilities."
Carmelo V | Physician
"As a physician, I regularly face complicated situations. The principles that I continue to learn by training with Sensei Gomez help me focus on what is essential in these situations, such as being flexible without losing the center of balance and using opportunities that arise in my favor rather than stubbornly working against them. As a result, everyone, including myself, is safer and more comfortable. Training with Sensei has helped me develop invaluable skills to navigate my daily life better."
Karl B | Architect
"The 8 principles that Sensei Gomez teaches in this workshop are translatable to every aspect of daily life. His ability to communicate these foundational concepts through spoken word, body movements, and expression is highly effective. Each class is a comprehensive and masterful composition of physical, mental, and meditative explorations. I find my life more balanced, disciplined, energetic, and fulfilling."
