MEMBER BENEFITS

This Web Site will soon have a Membership component to it.

Have you ever been faced with a great and potentially VERY rewarding challenge, but it seemed like there was just too much to do to make it happen?

Well, I have one of those Challenges, and maybe You will be a part of making it happen? ...

Over the years as I was teaching my work all around the country, it became all too clear to me that it would take too many hours of face-to-face classroom work to impart everything I have to teach people like yourself on yoga, bodywork, whole health principles, its underlying philosophy and sciences, and so on.

Plus, because only a select few really have the qualities and desire necessary to do this kind of work, it was like searching for a needle in a haystack. ... Where ARE they? ... I know they're out there somewhere!

So I needed a way to help those people ... maybe even YOU ... find ME, and then be able to teach them as efficiently as possible.

The problem is that it probably takes in the area of 1,500 hours to really learn most of what I do. Back in 1990, the owners of Heartwood Institute in Northern California told me I had more material than anyone they had ever worked with.

What this means is that if I started right now training groups of 12 people — which is about the maximum I can work with until I have a couple of REALLY good teaching assistants trained — it would take, I think, about 12 to 15 years to train 12 groups. That's only 144 people!

And I KNOW the world needs more than 144 people who can do this work. 1,440 would not be enough.

So ... I began asking myself , is there a way to teach much of DSL EdgeWork on the internet?

(Actually, how I started the process of getting out-of-the-box on such questions was to ask myself how I would deliver a massage over the internet! Note that I did NOT ask IF I could do it, I asked HOW I could do it. That's when I started realizing how much I could actually do over the 'net.)

And no, I have not figured out how to actually do a massage over the internet ... yet ... but I COULD coach other people to massage each other with a combination of video, audio, telephone and text resources! ... If I wanted to, that is.

(In fact, I HAVE successfully assisted in therapeutic bodywork sessions over the telephone.)

Anyway, the answer, I think, is YES. There IS much material I can provide electronically.

Although I would much RATHER do it all live and in person, it is just too darn time-consuming and expensive for both me AND my students to do it that way. When you have well-over a thousand, maybe 1,500 hours of material to teach, only people who are fairly wealthy or motivated with sufficient time on their hands could afford to do the program. Or, it would take years to get through it!

Obviously, certain things are just too personal to be taught without hands-on and personal contact, so we will still be doing a lot of it in live workshop format. However, much of the material in the various sciences lke anatomy and physiology, general principles, and philosophy courses CAN be taught via videos, visual drawings and animations, and audio presentations. Maybe even a couple of hundred hours or so.

All that said, for those who are interested in getting The Highest Level Education they can in the Yoga/Bodywork field, I believe I will be able to provide that. And if you read what other people are saying about my on the Testimonials page, you will probably agree that's not much of an exaggeration.

When the Member component is installed, there will be a monthly charge, with different amounts for different levels of access.

I have not got it all figured out in detail yet, so please don't hold me to this, but it will probably look something like this:

• BRONZE: Access to text & audio files only. 

• SILVER: Access to text & audios PLUS In-Depth Animations & Videos presentations. Material will be on the GENERAL aspects of DSL EdgeWork that do not require a lot of precision in working with individual problems.  

• GOLD: Access to Silver benefits PLUS questions asked via e-mail and answered via group teleconference calls. Advanced Bio-
Structural Balancing and Individualized Treatment Strategies. 2nd Right of Refusal to take my live programs. 

• PLATINUM: Access to Gold Benefits PLUS Direct Contact with me via e-mail, telephone and Speical Programs. 1st Right of Refusal to take my live programs. Right to have me come and work with them in their clinics or studios. 

Live Programs and my personal assistance will, of course, be at an additional charge plus expenses.

The Animations & Videos will include, each month, a series on a particular muscle group:

#1. A Video & Animation on the Anatomy & Kinesiology of the Muscle Group in question. 

#2. A Video & Animation on the Structural Analysis & Postural Evaluation of the Muscle Group. 

#3. A Video & Animation on the DSL Yoga & Classical Yoga Asana that affect that area. 

#4. A Video on my favorite manual, hands-on Techniques for releasing that area. 

#5. Either an Animation, Video or Audio on a Physiological concept that ties into the above process. 

#6. I'm sure I will have plenty of other stuff to put out, as well.

In addition, each Level will get a certain discount on other products and my Live Trainings, too. So, for example, Platinum Members will be getting, approximately, a 50% discount on live trainings with me with a one month advanced opportunity to sign up before I announce it to the rest of the list. ...

Platinum Members will be paying a VERY substantial monthly rate, of course, because I am assuming they will be the people who are serious about learning DSL EdgeWork at the level that I want to teach it, and I will be spending a lot of time with them.

They will also, I hope, be the ones who will be teaching the work when I am no longer able ... or no longer here. So they will be getting as much personal attention — a Mentor Relationship — as I can give them.

I am imagining there will be 12 of them in the group. And maybe two groups of 12, one group on each coast. I am even considering doing one such group in Europe or the Orient.

CERTIFICATION: This is a touchy subject, and more comples than most people realize. So much so that it deserves apage all on its own. So Click Here for Certification issues.

Just to round out the picture a bit more, I am targeting to find 12 groups of 12 people who will be at the Gold Level.

As I said, I figure that if I can train 12 groups of 12 people, or 144 people, that will take the better part of 12 years.

But if get the web site running well, and you start using it and telling people you know about it, we can get a lot more trained at least in the basic levels of DSL EdgeWork.

Needless to say, for those who know me, I will be doing my very best to make the value of what you get FAR more than whatever you are paying.

As you will see, I see it as MY JOB to help you become the BEST, most highly skilled, most knowledgeable Practitioner you can be, AND be very successful at it when it comes to finances, wealth and lifestyle.

It can be VERY frustrating to give Clients their lives back ... or some significant portion of it ... then wonder where your rent money is coming from!

It just does not seem fair ... !

I have spent so much time in that position I cannot in good concsious not do everything I can to help you make that part of this business work for you, too!

Well, it IS fair, if you know the REAL Criteria of generating money. And it is NOT what most of us have been told by our mysti-physical friends. For example, Do What You Love, The Money Will Come only works in VERY specific situations.

If you want to know the Real Criteria, go to my page on Right Livelihood. The Bad and the Good News on such things is there, or will be soon. ... Notice I put the Bad first because there IS a Good solution for those who have never been able to get the business aspect together. ... It might be the hardest thing you've ever had to learn, but it IS worth it.

If you are the type, like me, who has to struggle with keeping the money situation in proper perspective, and make good business, marketing and money decisions, then I have a section all about that stuff. I call it Right Livelihood: The Business of Life — The Life of Business. Here, I help you (and ME, to be quite honest) get clear on these issues, issues that are far more important than many of us like to acknowledge or admit.

At first, that part of the site is going to be FREE; partly because I want to help you be able to afford taking my programs and being a part of the membership site. The other reason it will be free for a while is because it is a case of sometimes (me) having to teach that what you (I) most need to learn. And I tell you, it was a STRUGGLE for me to free myself of old programming enough to even be able to put this site up. So if this is an issue for you, or you want to take your understanding of life in the Western World to a higher level, go to the Right Livelihood page and check it out. Let me know what you think.
