For several years I have been moving all over the country
and as I go,
writing and rewriting,
The Tao of Now:
108 "Ways" of waking up to the glory of you and life and now.
I'm rewriting that book. The book rotates through
Movement awareness,
emotional learning,
thinking improvement and
soul connection.
The exercises are powerful, highly varied, and can change your life.
I'm going to be selling the first 32 "ways" as a pdf for $20. If people complete those and write email me of their "learning," I'll sell the next 32 "ways" for $20.
If you want to buy the first 64 as a "bundle" (of joy, learning, waking up, you pick)
then you can send me a check for $33.
I know, I know, it's primitive, but part of
waking up,
a big part,
is doing the non-habitual. So get an envelope. Write a check to Chris Elms. for $33.
Send that envelope to 1906 S. 1st Street, Austin, Texas, 78704
If you are overseas.
Hey: email me with instructions on how to set up something through Amazon,
or whatever.
After the first 64 segments, you can purchase the last 42 ways for $22.
Or get the whole book as one pdf, once for $44. This is 108 ways of transforming your life,
for less than 50 cents a game. Good deal, I'd say.
