365-day course: WEEK 9
~ POWER ~
Life is a journey; not a destination.
MONTH 3 of the course begins today! And we have the new hard copy journal this month.
MY A.M. PRACTICE
FIRST THING when I wake up each day:
1. I will continue to wake up and immediately think of something that I appreciate and write it down in my “MY STORY” journal.*
*While I am thinking of whatever it is, in this state of appreciation I will do the Moving Meditation for APPRECIATION. The MM link is below.
2. I will identify the emotions I experienced upon awakening and write them down in my journal.
3. Take 5 minutes to visualize. Check!
4. Note what came to mind during my visualization.
5. (Optional) Share or post in the facebook group to let everyone know I have completed my a.m practice for the day! My team is there to support me and keep me accountable!

Moving Meditation Practice – APPRECIATION
Continuing our morning gratitude practice! As we did in Weeks 1-8, we are starting each morning with the Moving Meditation for APPRECIATION. Now that we have been doing this for over two months, you may be starting to feel the appreciation as soon as the music comes on. Perhaps you can even visualize the movement. If you want to review the breakdown videos (or use the other versions of these MMs from our Zoom calls), you can return to your earlier weeks’ pages; all the videos are saved there.
We don’t have our live Zoom calls every morning so we will find our own time to work this practice, and use the facebook group to stay connected!
Moving Meditation this week – POWER
In the last few weeks we have moved from PASSION to STRENGTH and now into our POWER. Don’t give your power away, Warriors. Strong mind, strong body. Protect your POWER. Own it. Feel it. Know it. You are a POWERFUL Warrior.
Warrior® Tai Chi Yoga
We finished our Warrior® Tai Chi Yoga breakdowns in the weeks 1-5 (one breakdown each week plus the MM for RELIEF in Week 1). Last week (week 8), Deb shared a BONUS video breakdown on Eagle pose. To review any of those breakdowns, you can return to that week’s page for the videos.
Here is a link to a full WTCY class if you want to make this half-hour class part of your morning or daily practice.
Warrior® Workout
Optional Warrior® Workouts are now part of our weekly schedule! Don’t worry, this is completely optional because we know many of you have been doing these workouts on a regular basis for the last few months. You can do this in your own time, and you can start with just one 5-minute round if you want! No pressure.
Here is a link to a full class mix. Because this week’s MM and focus is on POWER, we are keeping this week’s Warrior® Workout Mix with 2 rounds of Warrior® Toning! Enjoy! We suggest using a single 8-10 pound weight for those Toning rounds. You can also access the full library of workouts on your VIP Warrior® Workout page.
Inspirational Conversations
You may notice that your “checklist” on the calendar includes listening to an “Inspirational Conversation” in your own time. What is an Inspirational Conversation?
Our podcast, Alignment Essentials: Inspirational Conversations for Living in Alignment, covers many of the tools we will be using in our 365 day practice. We suggest starting by listening to Episode 2: Living in Alignment.
You can listen directly at the link below, or go to the full podcast page to check out additional episodes. If you have never listened to the podcast and are relatively new to working with AE, you might want to listen to the Introduction episode in addition to Episode 2. If you have listened to those episodes already, select another!
MY P.M. PRACTICE
Our new P.M. PRACTICE PAGES for this month in the journal continue this week as well.
Each night before I go to bed:
1. I will note the three most dominant emotions I experienced today and write them down in my journal.
2. I will circle the experiences that apply to me today in my journal (some new questions to think about here).
3. (Optional) Coloring time!
4. (Optional) Share or post in the facebook group to share my experiences.
