PREPARATION EXERCISES BEFORE WEEK ONE
Opening Welcome Message from Lev
I am grateful for this opportunity to share with you this unique gift that I have harvested from within the depths of my heart. I open myself to the potential for my words to act as catalyzers for you to connect to the unique gift within your own heart.
You are here for a particular purpose. You are special because you are unique. You are unique because you are the only one who holds the space in the universe that is you, whoever was, is, or will be you. And, therefore, you are the only one who can contribute the particular gift that you are here to give the world at this particular moment in history.
You are no accident. You are living on this earth, today, because you have particular purpose. Just as the seed must soften its shell, give itself to the earth, and grow towards the sky,
So, too, is the gift that is planted within the depths of your heart and soul.
You feel the gift within you. You feel the seed of the unique gift that is deep within you. Down in the soil of your heart, you feel your unique purpose, and you are ready to bring it forth and express it in the world...or else you wouldn’t be reading these words.
I honor you for arriving at this very moment in your life. Through all the struggle that your life has given to you, you have forged your own path to arrive at this moment, still engaged in the journey to connect with the relationships, experiences, teachings, principles and practices that will nourish the seed within you to grow into its full potential.
And so, I honor you for your journey, and I see you now, and celebrate the you that you are in this very moment. In this moment, I invite you to honor yourself and see yourself,
and give yourself permission to listen to the place inside you that is asking you to do this work.
I acknowledge you for taking this significant step to awaken the purpose, wisdom, love, and vision deep within your heart. Opening to this journey is a powerful choice, and it is exciting to be embarking upon this adventure with you. Its going to be fun and empowering, so take a moment to open yourself to receiving all that you are wanting, desiring, and longing for. For, in order to change, you must ready yourself to receive the changes that you are looking for.

How will this program work?
Each week you will have the opportunity to engage one writing exercise, one wellness exercise, and to ponder one spiritual principle. We will also be discussing particular stories that are directly relevant to the themes with which we are working.
How to make best use of this workbook:
As I said, there will be writing/reflection exercise per week and one wellness practice per week. Don't try to do more, just stay consistent with the practices and you will build strength and resilience over time.

How to receive the most benefit from this course:
Become more conscious of the language that you use, and the attitude that you inhabit:
Move from: "I have to..."
to: "I choose to..."
and, eventually, to: "I get to..."
Its a world of a difference.

Preparing for Week One of the Sacred Business Program (starting on Tuesday, April 23rd @ 12:00pm ET)
THE SPIRITUAL PRINCIPLE TO REFLECT ON FOR WEEK ONE:
I am here for a reason.
WELLNESS EXERCISE:
Focus on your breath. Breathing into your lungs, your belly, your hips, your feet, your head, and your heart. Focus on your breath throughout the day. Whenever you are thinking in ways that are NOT constructive, take a deep breath.
WRITING EXERCISE (to be completed before the first call on April 23rd:
Write a letter to yourself and put it in an envelop, and date it for the end of October, when we will be finished with this program. Write to the you that you will be, six months from now. In 6 months, where will you be with these questions:
What is my life & work vision?
Who am I here to serve?
How can I take good care of myself? (so that I can be more effective, efficient, and respond appropriately in my workplace)
How can I build relationships that give me the courage to take bold action?
Partnering Exercises:
Each week, you will have the opportunity to engage in a partnering exercise through the Guidebook. You are responsible for reaching out on the Facebook Group and asking another community member to get on the phone with you to do the partnering exercise. Be proactive! This may be the most valuable aspect of the program for you! See this a practice space for reaching out to people in regards to your actual business and your social network. The more proactive you are in this program, the more proactive you will be in your meaningful work and life!
