So as far as uh personal and business relationships, being able to uh take control of those uh you know, chaotic emotions and uh the um you know, inner turmoil that, that, that happens sometimes from a very stressful uh career, you know, personal life and things like that.

My name is Vlad Gumaer and I am a telecom architect and consultant and when life gets really uh chaotic and, and out of control, sometimes as it does for everyone, I'm sure um I definitely have a lot more power and control over it than uh I was even aware of. So Mao and uh seafood Matthew have helped me tremendously with uh taking charge and uh taking control uh putting a plan together and uh working on taking charge of those, uh uh let's say chaotic emotions and that uh inner chaos that uh is a result of uh let's say stressful situations in life. I've had a uh chronic injury that was uh bothering me, annoying me for uh many years, uh just uh vanish and uh disappear no more, uh no more pain, no more, uh clicking and cracking and uh pretty amazing. So as far as uh personal and business relationships, being able to uh take control of those uh you know, chaotic emotions and uh the um you know, inner turmoil that, that, that happens sometimes from a very stressful uh career, you know, personal life and things like that. So just having that under control and um uh decompressing and uh being able to stay calm and focused, I think has helped in uh not just business but personal life as well. So as far as the uh approach to the business mao has helped uh again, just to see that uh there are no limitations there, there, that nothing is impossible and that uh uh shoot for the stars and uh you can't accomplish anything and uh you should and you will. So I feel like um as leaders um in our communities and our businesses um in our circles, we uh can sometimes feel uh isolated and uh uh forget some of the things that maybe we have already known. And um in terms of uh maintaining it and, and, and, and working on having a uh a positive attitude, uh optimism and uh uh realizing that you, you, you know, you do nothing is impossible and you can accomplish anything. And so having that positive attitude, having that positive outlook, but also uh in a realistic way, not just uh you know, uh like a fairy tale sense, but actually working towards that. Um And then secondly, um making sure that your, your body and your mind are, are strong and clear, which will then, you know, make you, you know, much more effective and in your business and what you do on a daily basis. My favorite part of working with Mao is um discovering and uh working and cultivating my uh superpowers.

I think personally, Mao has helped me um just to really calm down and drop into being, drop into the sense of being in my body, being with myself and from that place, I'm able to really relate to others in a way that's very present, you know, in a way that's, that's very much connected also, uh it helps me because there's a feeling of potential with Mao that I think is, is really special, you know, there's a potential for, for health and that on so many levels really eases the nervous system.

So I started doing mao um before and after some major surgeries that I had, and it really helped me in a lot of ways. It helped me to, first of all manage my energy and to um build up my strength again. And it's that really, it's that really kind of deep strength, the structural strength that is so helpful for the, um for the body. It also really helped me to calm down. Um, there was a lot of different feelings that come up after surgery and being able to practice the mao being able to have that as part of my daily routine has really been just um, so valuable. I, I do it every day and, um, and I wouldn't miss it because of the way it makes me feel the way it makes me really connect to the potential of my own health and well being. Well, the first thing that, that ma has really helped as far as my body goes is really a sense of energy, feeling, uh energy, feeling a circulation of in my body, really becoming uh sensitive and aware of my body. Um But also in another way, it has just helped me to develop a particular discipline as to paying attention to my body, feeling my body in different uh positions in the poses, the mal poses and just really being in touch and in tune with it. Um And I think in that way, it really helps uh other areas of my life, right, as far as like diet and as far as um uh weight training or whatever other training I decide to do, it helps to kind of inform that discipline based on what I learned about myself through mouth. I think personally, Mao has helped me um just to really calm down and drop into being, drop into the sense of being in my body, being with myself and from that place, I'm able to really relate to others in a way that's very present, you know, in a way that's, that's very much connected also, uh it helps me because there's a feeling of potential with Mao that I think is, is really special, you know, there's a potential for, for health and that on so many levels really eases the nervous system. And when you've kind of able to ease the nervous system, you're able to connect better with other people. So it's really, it's really helpful in that way. It's helped my relationships a lot in that and also to be able to share with people, you know, these simple things that you can do that can improve your health. It gives other people hope, I think it really comes down to um potential, you know, Mao is really so much about potential for me and I feel like it helps me in that way that, that, you know, understanding my personal potential for health. It also changes my perspective on how I move through the world, how I move through my goals, my objectives, the things I want to achieve both personally and professionally. So working with business, working with others, you know, it gives you a new lens to, to look at things a certain way, you know, when you understand that potential and when you're really, you have a different understanding of yourself and what you can do, uh it helps you to open that up and open that possibility and invite others in. So it can be a really helpful thing to make those connections and then use those connections to reach, you know, professional goals. I think Mao is very, um it's very specific and it's very much um like it, it, it doesn't need a lot of interpretation. You know, you, you understand the forces, you understand what you're cultivating and you do the poses. Um I think that in that way and its simplicity is also how profound it is. You know, it's just simple, clear and it's um it really engages you with that sense of strength and possibility. Mao will definitely call upon your discipline and it will help you to foster a connection with yourself. And I think, you know, having that and you know, having this ability to know yourself in such an intimate way through your body, through your experience is extremely valuable. So whether you're trying to, if you're trying to heal something or you're trying to promote your own growth or you're trying to achieve something in business, you know, this is a way to really supercharge yourself to really help yourself get um to the next level or to reach those goals that you've been looking for. So I've been doing Mao long enough now to really have made it part of my um practice and, and I'm very conscious to do it in nature as much as I can. Um So I would say my, my favorite part of training in Mao is, is to do the series um of poses, you know, in nature, being connected with the earth, with the trees, with everything around me, really the air and just um sitting in each pose and really dropping into it and sometimes it's challenging, you know, sometimes the mind wants to go elsewhere but just really dropping into it and really sensing the elements and really sensing the meaning of each pose. I think, you know, I don't really have a favorite pose, but I think it's just, it's the combination of all that, that's really, that's really nice.

And after working through the poses and just the mentality in general, I feel a renewed energy and excitement about life and the potential for abundance.
I feel that Mao has cemented principles in me where other kinds of uh self help, things have not stuck.

Mao has taught me so much about the limitless potential of joy that can be experienced in life. And before working on the principles I walked through life in, in a truly melancholy, un energized way. And after working through the poses and just the mentality in general, I feel a renewed energy and excitement about life and the potential for abundance. And I had never really gotten in touch with that feeling for myself before Mao has really been helpful in terms of my business as a writer and creator where normally I would be very judgmental of the initial burst of inspiration that I feel Mao has been really encouraging me and pushing me to be non judgmental and move forward with grace and intention and allow energy to flow freely without judgment. I feel that Mao has cemented principles in me where other kinds of uh self help, things have not stuck. I feel that Mao has really grounded me and encouraged me to be present and strong consistently as opposed to it being something where I feel excited about it uh for a few weeks and then taper off and don't do it anymore. Mao is a long lasting kind of stability. I believe Mao can really help people set clear intentions and intentions are not made with just the mind. It also must come within the body and the elements and the flow. And I think that's where Mao is really long lasting and can really benefit a lot of leaders and anyone seeking growth. My personal favorite part of training are the Mao energy poses. I do them every morning and learning more and more of them is really exciting and the amount of energy generated that I feel throughout the day and confidence cannot be understated. They're absolutely my favorite thing to do. I'm eternally grateful for the principles of Mao.

Ma has helped my physical body by getting me more inside of it.
I would say that Mao has been able to help me the most in controlling my inner landscape.
I don't see a reality where Mao could not help somebody who's trying to accelerate the growth, especially in business or as a leader.

Hi, my name is Adrian Gray and I'm a musician and an educator. Mao has given me and allowed me to see an entire inner landscape that I had no idea existed prior. It's given me a frame of reference to know when I'm acting out of old or bad habits versus where I actually wanna be. Ma has helped my physical body by getting me more inside of it. I feel more connected than ever. And the way that that has also helped is what I'm putting into my body. I feel the effects of it more. I can tell when something wasn't serving it the most. I can tell when something feels really good. And as a result I've been able to make better decisions that nurture my physical body more. I would say that Mao has been able to help me the most in controlling my inner landscape. Now, what that looks like is pretty limitless. That means controlling anxiety, controlling my emotions, not getting dragged into them easily. Um That kind of stuff seeps into everything. Of course, it'll seep into your work and relationships. So all of the above has been helped by mouth. Mau has helped my business and personal relationships by totally bringing a new level of confidence to them. It is a stark difference is different because it's addressing the real root of any given issue. And as a result, it seeps into everything else that you do. That is what's really different about it is the depth. I don't see a reality where Mao could not help somebody who's trying to accelerate the growth, especially in business or as a leader. The things that it helps you get control over internally are things that automatically lead to that. Um It is hand in hand with growth and acceleration. My favorite part of training in Mao is definitely the way I feel afterwards, which is incredible, compelled open. Uh It's the opposite of feeling small. It's a wonderful feeling.

The way that I am in the world, Mao is helpful for me as a leader because it helps me just get to a place of truth and force where I can take action without having to spend too much time thinking about things.

Hi, I'm Doctor Shelby Watson. I'm an integrated veterinarian and clinic owner. One of the primary things that I have learned from now is that I have the ability to change my internal state. I had always thought that whatever mood I was in was what I had. That's all I had to work with. And now I can see that whatever comes my way. I have a choice in how I react to it. I have a choice in my internal state and I'm not having to receive what I'm given. I can take what I'm given and change it. The way that I want. Mao has helped me become the driver in my life, whether it's in my personal life or at work where I can now take the situation that I'm in, analyze it and figure out where I want to go and make the next step immediately to do that. I used to feel often very fatigued or um just kind of out of juice to get things done. And now I just feel more powerful and I can change my state. If I feel like I'm getting fatigued, I have the option to rest or I have the option to draw on my internal strength and change my state immediately. I might tend to be an over editor. So Mao has made it much easier for me to simply feel the truth and act on it without having to spend a lot of time in my head thinking through different scenarios or how to say something. It's enabled me to just feel, know what's true and act immediately. It has allowed me to move away from worrying about if I make any changes, how they're going to be received by my employees or by my customers and really just make my business a reflection of me and trust in my skills and trust in the direction that I want to go and then create the people and the culture around me that support my mission, the martial arts aspect of it, which is just imbued with this discipline and daily practice. And um also just the, it's sort of the the competitive or defensive side of it where, you know, really it's a battle out there and you really do have to be prepared and strong to handle whatever comes your way. And Mao has been just intriguing for me because it pulls this energy out of my head where I might spend too much time thinking and really puts it in my body where the force is, enables me to change how I feel, change how I present myself. And it's really at a core level. It's not a superficial level of saying a different word or thinking a different thought. It really is changing the way that I transport energy in my body. The way that I am in the world, Mao is helpful for me as a leader because it helps me just get to a place of truth and force where I can take action without having to spend too much time thinking about things. And that's not to say that there's not a deep level of analysis. It just removes it from a sort of cognitive place to a core place within me. I would also say that it's useful for accelerating growth for a very similar reason because it's almost a shortcut to get around an overly busy brain and get to where you hold your force in your body where you're able to sense and act. My favorite part of training in Mao is my morning routine. When I go through the element poses, it just changes everything and it gets me back to this place where I'm focused and strong and grounded and I love that no matter what state I might be in or what I'm worrying about. I can reliably get to that powerful place and I'm ready for my day.

Head of Business Development

Jonathon Joseph, Trend

But in terms of personal and business relationships now has helped again with understanding the energies that I'm giving off and, and being able to control those better, but also what energy I'm receiving from other people and how to take the those and either control and ship them in different directions or continue to play off of those and make sure that we get the conversation to go to my desired outcome.

Jonathan Joseph. I work in investment management in my position as head of business development. Ma has taught me uh what, well, what ma has taught me about myself that I did not know before is essentially how I'm giving off certain energies within a conversation. And when I'm within a meeting setting and also understanding and reading the energies of others, but not only how I'm reading theirs but how they're reacting to mind. So it's things I think I may have picked on whether it be subconsciously or unconsciously but working with. Now, let me or help me to understand how I actually do that in the moment and process things better as well as take more command when dealing with small groups. I think overall it's things that you don't think about within our days in our lives. We have so much going on and we're all so busy and constantly moving and looking to um just progress as whether it be within uh again, professional or personal life. And we don't often take account or inventory of how we're impacting others or vice versa. So I think that's something that I've learned from now that has been very beneficial and I look to continue to hone those skills further as we continue to work together, Mao has uh impacted my body, I think more. So just in a flexibility standpoint, I've always been an athlete working out, going to the gym and, and stretching and things of that nature. But I think having a more concentrated and focused approach that uh has been given to me by Mao has helped in specific areas and we've been able to target other areas where maybe I wasn't either as flexible or doing some pain and just general uh bumps and bruises, just overall uh just general better feelings of flexibility and emotion and mobility. But in terms of personal and business relationships now has helped again with understanding the energies that I'm giving off and, and being able to control those better, but also what energy I'm receiving from other people and how to take the those and either control and ship them in different directions or continue to play off of those and make sure that we get the conversation to go to my desired outcome. I think that's more in the work sense because I'm in the sales role here to try to make sure that I understand prospects and existing clients. But also in personal life, I think having um those skills has really allowed me to become an even more effective communicator um and be able to really not only take in what those are saying to me verbally, but also what they're saying non verbally. And I think those are skills that we can all stand to improve uh both professionally and personally and with in the business development world or fundraising, you're often dealing with smaller groups when communicating. So whether it be a small investment team or a small investment committee, you're not dealing with a large audience or auditorium or stadium with people. So really understanding people's roles and positions in terms of how they operate. But who also your um engines that drive decision making and also understanding the energies of the varying people as all personalities and energy types will be different, but also how to take those into consideration and communicating and adjust my style accordingly on a weekly basis. I'm not only learning and developing new skills but also taking inventory of how not only the job but my personal life and things around me are impacting me and impacting my ability to excel on a professional basis has, has really been the first time I've gone to something like this at this level of detail. So overall nothing compares to this because it's my first time doing it now helps shine a light on some of these areas but also forces you to do some introspection, take a look inwards, see what it is you're lacking if you don't know and if you do know, take inventory as to why you lack that, how long that lack has existed and what you can do to uh really improve or reduce that lack. So I think overall, whether you're a leader or whether you're in a position where you're not necessarily in charge of any particular team or group, it still can be beneficial because it allows to be a better teammate, better uh team player as well as a better leader in the future. So I think overall the skills are beneficial to all parties. It just really takes um it's just more nuanced, I should say in terms of how you impact or impart that on your current role and also your future roles overall, having this regimen in place, but also having the ability to consistently check in on it and keep tabs on the on the progress and updates really has helped um just create a new level of discipline. And I think that it's become more integrated in my uh day to day personal life and professional life. So I think overall that's been my favorite part of just seeing the growth from when I first started and really had no understanding or grasp of anything. Um seeing it was saying uh or really just where the feeling so coming from what I was actually feeling to now having more of a grasp and be more in tune with my own energy and emotions and understanding way more than I did uh back when we first started. So and seeing the growth and, and watching, you know, my own personal progress has been, has been the best part for me.

Ville Visuri, Finland

And I'm, uh, working as AC a therapist now, And, uh, starting time studying, uh, osteopathic.
I think because of your focusing to yourself in the practise helps everybody because, um, you find your weaknesses and then you can manage those and learn from yourself a lot of different things.
