Intensive Seminars offer an often overwhelming amount of physical, mental, and emotional demand. Maximizing the ability to retain information, and train the methodologies of any given intensive seminar can be a daunting task.  With the May 16th & 17th intensive with Sifu Sam F.S. Chin coming up, we would love to hear some comments from our readers on how they may or may not alter their training before or after intensive seminars.  

It would be great for all of us to learn more about how everyone prepares for intensive seminars. Please Feel free to comment.

Principle 1
Full engagement requires drawing on four separate but related sources of energy: 
physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. 

Principle 2
Because energy diminishes both with overuse and with underuse, 
we must balance energy expenditure with intermittent energy renewal. 

Principle 3
To build capacity we must push beyond our normal limits, 
training in the same systematic way that elite athletes do.
 
Principle 4
Positive energy rituals—highly specific routines for managing energy are  
the key to full engagement and sustained high performance.
