A View of What
We Do
A
clear and concise essay by Carol Heller to introduce our
approach. It builds on her twenty-five years of personal and
professional experience with the East/West educational discipline of
movement psychology. Books by Carol
The key to our approach is a
comprehensive system of Internal Exercises, Movement Simulations &
Nano-Practices. These practices are simple, practical,
easy-to-use exercises that integrate thought, feeling, and
movement. They are designed to be applied in the midst of daily
life and will rapidly develop the energies, perceptions, and inner
skills necessary to accomplish your goals.
An
introductory excerpt from Dr. Heller's ground-breaking book written with Dr. David Sheppard
Surrenda,
Frog, Ltd, 1994. Colleagues, especially in the technical
arena, often email this paper to prospective clients. Books by
Stuart
This
paper presents our basic approach to technical leadership and six
success stories from our work with the SEED Program (Systems
Engineering and Education Development) at Goddard Space Flight
Center/NASA.
In
November 2005, Stuart presented the closing keynote speech for the International Leadership
Association conference in Amsterdam,
Netherlands.

The
Movement of
Strategy
At
the heart of our approach is a model we call "The Five Rings." In
a
simple yet powerful way, it helps us to connect Western psychological
models with the concrete teachings of the ancient Asian warriors and
sages. In this short paper, you are introduced to the idea of
stress
responses and how they influence mindset and mood.
The
Language of
Strategy
According
to Musashi, "The language of strategy is the language of Nature." This
paper unfolds the Five Rings Model through the eyes of
accomplishment. Using ideas drawn from popular behavioral styles
models, it explores the Rings through the relationships between Goals,
Tasks, People, and Results.
An
Alternative View of Habit
This
short paper offers a positive and constructive view of this crucially
important systems function that has profound implications for both personal life
and corporate health.
Story
of Stress
Responses
A
common misconception about the master warrior is that he or she
lives in a world beyond fear. The actual truth is even more
astounding. This short paper presents the primal reality
upon which our Five Rings Matrix is built.
The
Importance of the Internal Senses
Our
basic senses are much more important than we normally consider.
It is through them that we encounter the concrete world. While
most of our attention has been on our external senses, like sight and
hearing, it is our internal senses, like proprioception or muscle
sense, that are key to both self-honesty and real change.

The Power of Movement: The East/West
Difference
This
short paper uses a classical samurai story to reveal some of the deep
paradigmatic differences between East and West. It examines the
normal difficulty of generalizing or embodying learning from this
perspective.
The
Sense of
Truth: An Outside the Box East/West View
It
is in the world of actuality that our results are tested. Yet
often when we test, we fail to appreciate the full dimension of
possibilities. What if the visceral and the abstract were
inseparable? And thinking, feeling, and moving were intimately
connected? Using words to point to that which cannot be bound by
words, this paper explores a journey toward an authentic sense of truth.
A
short excerpt from the Sufi master and musician, Inayat Khan, from his
book, Philosophy, Psychology,
Mysticism: The Sufi Message. "Every movement has a
greater significance than one can imagine..."
The
Boundaries of Relationship
Relationship
is fundamentally about boundaries. Here is a short essay that uses a
combination of words and graphic images to convey some of key concepts.
The
Eastern Roots of
the Language of Movement
In
this short essay, Stuart brings to the Western reader a fresh and
accessible view of some of the most important ideas of classical
Chinese
thinking. He draws upon the ancient warriors and sages to bring
us ancient yet new ideas that are of timeless value.
The
Way of the
Warrior-Sage
In
an exploration of visual thinking combined with a minimalist use of
words, here are some of the key principles that inform the Way of the
Warrior-Sage.
Song
of the
Dance
Here
is an excerpt from Stuart's book, The
Dance of Becoming: Living Life as a Martial Art. "The whole has
many parts but no pieces." "Experiencing the intimate connection
with all life, I move as a flowing whole." Links for
