Energy Independence

what is energy independence?

You  are an an energy system that interacts with other energy systems. 

Energy independence begins with the realization that you are an energy system that requires a steady, reliable inflow of energy to meet the demands of life and work while maintaining a sense of well-being, inspiration, and good health.  It culminates with the power to intentionally and dependably manage the inflow of the A.E.Q. energy necessary to meet and exceed the demands of life regardless of the circumstances or demand.  

The value of mastering A.E.Q. energy management is the ability to intentionally and dependably build abundant A.E.Q. energy that exceeds the demand. When a student has mastered their energy, they gain the power to do so independently of the events and circumstances of their daily lives.  

Change Management and the Way of the Catalyst

We have expanded the practice of change management to indicate a process wherein a leader of change, the catalyst, brings energy to an organization where there is too little energy, to evolve into a higher state of functioning.

In the School of Kung Fu thought, Shen Shing Wu Chan, this is the purpose and method of training. What we call a master in our lineage is fundamentally a catalyst. A catalyst is essentially an energy activist, who activates energy to catalyze change. We study the laws of energy and power so that we can intentionally extend beyond resistance to inspire change. We use our forms and weapons training to clarify our body, mind, and spirit to build and use energy efficiently. If we need something done, we send energy first (Yi) and then we move to create change and do work, while managing our energy.  When done correctly, we accomplish the task with a surplus of energy. It may sound strange to value energy in this manner, but you practice a form of this with your phone or car.  

If to empower is to give power and power is defined as work done, or energy transferred per unit of time, then to empower the catalyst is to teach them how to efficiently build energy and focus it into the power to lead and create change.

To empower the catalyst is to give them energy independence and a belief in their ability to efficiently work toward manifesting their vision of a better world or a way of being.  

A.E.Q. Energy Management

The value of this training is directly proportional to the value you place on energy. If you value success but do not value energy, then you may be working too hard, enjoying life too little, or both. Success requires more than time, planning, determination, and clear goals to achieve. It requires energy to succeed. The more complex the endeavor, the greater the demand for energy.

Nothing lives, works, grows, or changes without energy. When energy stops, everything stops. Sure, you can force it or grit it out, but without attending to the energy demand, it’s like running up a high interest credit card that you pay off by sacrificing your health, happiness, and your love of learning. This interest, often referred to as stress, appears whenever the energy demand exceeds the energy supply. To function efficiently need a steady abundant inflow of energy. 

It begins with learning to efficiently manage the energy needed to fuel change.  

Manage the Energy, and you won't need to manage your Stress
