We have brought this nightmare upon ourselves.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">It happens when the following conditions are permitted to flourish:</span><br /><br /><ol><br /><li><span style="font-family:verdana;">We become so obsessed with saying something that may be construed as offensive by anyone, that we cease to speak the truth, and start talking in watered-down, unmotivating generalities. Sometimes being "politically correct" means pretending not to notice, or remaining silent, or avoiding precision in communications. We are diluted and deluded;</span></li><br /><li><span style="font-family:verdana;">We accept lies and other morally reprehensible conduct from our leaders because we have lowered our standards and diminished our expectations;</span></li><br /><li><span style="font-family:verdana;">We make excuses instead of apologies;</span></li><br /><li><span style="font-family:verdana;">We stop taking corrective action because we are afraid to upset the norm or receive negative attention;</span></li><br /><li><span style="font-family:verdana;">We spend time assigning blame instead of solving problems together;</span></li><br /><li><span style="font-family:verdana;">We are more obsessed with imposing stiff punishments than in preventing crime, correcting misbehavior, and seeking balanced justice;</span></li><br /><li><span style="font-family:verdana;">We deny each other our sacred uniqueness by imposing labels and diagnoses on each other.</span></li></ol><br /><p><span style="font-family:verdana;">There is a desperate need for a return to sensibility, honesty, humor and humanity. Simplicity is not an obscenity. It is elegant, pure and beautiful.</span></p><br /><p><span style="color:#6666cc;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">You can make yourself <em>recession-proof</em> by making yourself <em>depression-proof</em>. Just apply these simple guidelines to your life, and find a calm and peace that you had forgotten could exist within you:</span></span></p><br /><ol><br /><li><span style="color:#6666cc;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Do not associate yourself with negative people, naysayers, energy vampires and chronic critics;</span></span></li><br /><li><span style="color:#6666cc;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Do not live beyond your means...there is no competition worth entering where you must worry daily about meeting huge bills. People do not generally steal and cut ethical corners when they do not have constant pressure upon them to "live bigger and spend more". It seems foolish to give the bulk of your money to a group of faceless creditors;</span></span></li><br /><li><span style="color:#6666cc;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Do not become addicted to listening to the constant litany of negative news in the media -- read some good books and listen to some enjoyable music instead;</span></span></li><br /><li><span style="color:#6666cc;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Dedicate some time to learn something new every day -- set aside time for hobbies and things that you enjoy...reward yourself;</span></span></li><br /><li><span style="color:#6666cc;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Take a walk and get some fresh air every day -- don't stay cooped up and suffer from "cabin fever.";</span></span></li><br /><li><span style="color:#6666cc;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Eat healthier, non-processed foods, and take time to prepare some of your own meals;</span></span></li><br /><li><span style="color:#6666cc;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Exercise daily. In fact, develop an exercise regimen -- it will help you to feel alive and energetic;</span></span></li><br /><li><span style="color:#6666cc;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Plan things ahead of time in order to avoid last-minute panic and stress. Determine in advance when you will shop, run errands, get your automobile serviced, etcetera;</span></span></li><br /><li><span style="color:#6666cc;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Cultivate a circle of trustworthy friends in whom you can confide (no losers allowed in your circle!); and, most importantly,</span></span></li><br /><li><span style="color:#6666cc;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Treat others as you would have them treat you - with respect, dignity and grace.</span></span></li></ol><br /><p><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#000000;">Simplify your life, and enjoy the journey!</span></p><br /><p><span style="font-family:verdana;">Joseph Droual</span></p><br /><p><span style="font-family:verdana;">Co-Founder, <strong>INTERNAL ENERGY PLUS</strong></span></p><br /><p><strong><span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;color:#339999;">Author and speaker Douglas Castle contributed to this article.

He has graciously consented to this brief session with me. Some years ago, Soke was my personal martial arts teacher, and he became a close personal confidant. His friendship, kindness, wisdom and sense of integrity have enriched my life. I am truly blessed to count him among my friends.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">It is my specific objective to have Soke, in his own distinct and direct manner of speaking, familiarize persons from all different walks of life with INTERNAL ENERGY PLUS...what it actually is...how it is practiced...why it works...as well as its philosophical principles and practical applications, with their miraculous benefits for each and every individual and organization. In brief, I am asking Soke to fully reveal the System's amazing transformative potential in a way that everyone can understand and appreciate. </span></div><div><span style="font-size:130%;color:#ffffff;">iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii</span></div><div><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></div><div><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></div><div><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;">***You can join a Yahoo!

It is a distillation of many ancient disciplines, and captures the treasured essence of each. If practiced, it can optimize your physical and emotional wellness, and can help you to identify and successfully achieve those things that are truly important to you. It gives you clarity and focus, and freedom from negative energies and distractions which interfere with your ability to be truly healthy, happy and succeed at achieving your deepest goals. It grounds and stabilizes you, in body, mind and spirit. Internal Energy Plus actually liberates your inherent potential for greatness, and it enhances your ability to work productively with other individuals.</span></div><span style="color:#ffffff;">lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll</span><br /><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">Q: How has Internal Energy Plus helped you, personally?</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#3366ff;">A: I discovered the system about five years ago during a meditation class that I was teaching for development of Ki -- the life force energy. It has helped me to re-focus my life's efforts and energies, and it has bolstered my creativity tremendously. It can do this for any willing student. It is elegant in its simplicity, yet it is incredibly powerful and empowering.</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#ffffff;">lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll</span><br /></div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">Q: Does Internal Energy Plus have a credo, or a "Mission Statement" that sums it up simply and memorably for our readers?</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#3366ff;">A: Yes: "Focus and clarity for your personal and professional life."</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#ffffff;">llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">Q: What influences went into creating the system, its philosophy, and the Twelve Postures?</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#3366ff;">A: My 37 years of martial arts training and teaching, combined with the wisdom and teachings of all of the generations of martial artists in their various styles, who came before me. It is a consolidation, as well as a crystallization of these principles into a powerful, concentrated essence.</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#ffffff;">lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll</span><br /></div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">Q: How can physical postures, or breathing, actually change the way that I think?</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#3366ff;">A: There is an undeniable connection between mind and body. They work to help each other, or to hamper each other. By grounding and focusing energies through certain very specific physical movements and controlled breathing, the body and mind are harmonized and synchronized for a unity of purpose and intention. </span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#ffffff;">lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll</span><br /></div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">Q: Is there a particular "Internal Energy Plus" way of thinking? Of handling each and every situation which may confront us in our daily lives?</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#3366ff;">A: The way and practice of Internal Energy Plus trains the mind to visualize a desired outcome, and to proceed toward it in linear fashion, with a laser-like focus. No impediment stands in the way of pure human determination. Any obstacle can be overcome. Interestingly, when other individuals are involved, Internal Energy Plus trains your empathy and intuitive sensitivity to help you to achieve peaceful and productive compromise. You can turn your adversaries into allies if you can understand and "feel" what their needs are, as well as your own.</span> </div><div><span style="color:#ffffff;">lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll</span></div><div></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">Q: I have heard that Internal Energy Plus is a "social movement"...what do you think about that?</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"><span style="color:#3366ff;">A: I don't fully agree with your phraseology, but I understand why some people might say this. Internal Energy Plus is, in actuality, an individual attainment which can lead to beneficial, productive and peaceful social change. Ultimately, it will create a "social movement".</span></span> </div><div><span style="color:#ffffff;">lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll</span><br /></div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">Q: Who can benefit by learning and using Internal Energy Plus, and how, exactly, can these individuals benefit?</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"><span style="color:#3366ff;">A: Anyone and everyone can benefit by learning and practicing Internal Energy Plus. Even you. The benefits are too numerous to list in a brief interview. Some of the most commonly experienced include: increased self-knowledge, increased awareness, increased energy and focus, greater self-esteem, improved physical health and fitness, increased efficiency in undertaking all tasks, increased inner peace, better relationships with colleagues and co-workers, a greater ability to assume responsibility...there are so many.</span></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"><span style="color:#ffffff;">llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll</span> </span><br /></div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">Q: How do you differentiate Internal Energy Plus from, say martial arts systems, yoga, tai-chi, tai-bo, transcendental meditation, hypnotherapy, NLP and other systems or approaches to self-mastery, wellness and achievement? You certainly don't look like Tony Robbins or Wayne Dyer, either, by the way...</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#3366ff;">A: Internal Energy Plus has certain elements in common with many of these pursuits, but it is far simpler, far faster to learn, and far more beneficial. Also, I am not as tall as Tony Robbins, and I have more hair than Wayne Dyer. I think you look like Bruce Willis... Seriously, Internal Energy Plus integrates the mind with body in motion, into a singularity, or complete unit...many of these "success gurus" do not address this critical linkage. The body learns, just as the mind learns. The body can access the mind and the mind can access the body. These two types of learning must be integrated to achieve the greatest result for the individual.</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#ffffff;">llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll</span></div><div><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">Q: Does training in Internal Energy Plus require that I eliminate the use of any of these other systems?</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#3366ff;">A: Not at all. Internal Energy Plus is a companion and an enhancement to all of these other self-improvement systems. In fact, Internal Energy Plus can exponentially accelerate your ability to be successful at mastering these other systems. It amplifies confidence and competence. </span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#ffffff;">lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll</span><br /></div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">Q: Can any person learn the system? How long does it take? How much time would I have to invest per day?</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#3366ff;">A: Anyone can learn. It usually takes approximately three months for an individual to learn to practice the postures, breathing and visualizations correctly. It takes only minutes a day after you have mastered the basics, but a greater investment of time yields even greater rewards. </span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#ffffff;">llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll</span><br /></div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">Q: How can Internal Energy Plus increase my energy and awareness levels?</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#3366ff;">A: It brings out and focuses the Ki, which stimulates both body and mind.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#ffffff;">lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">Q: How can Internal Energy Plus make me physically stronger, and better-balanced?</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;color:#3366ff;">A: The postures and the breathing contain elements of isometric, calisthenic, cardiovascular and other types of exercises.
