Okan: The Heart
WRITTEN EXERCISE: Consider the difference between knowledge and emotion.  Sometimes, what you know is not as important as how you feel. Sometimes, what matters most is how you make others feel. Recall a time when you had to be aware of feeling intense anger, fear happiness or anticipation. How did you respond and what was the result? Activities
PERSONAL RITUAL: This is the OLA16 that helps you to live the medicine of strong emotions. More than ANY other factor of life, strong emotions will put your feet and mouth into motion. This OLA16 understands that emotions are NOT logical. However, they can be fine-tuned, focused and articulated in a way that matches the situation. This OLA16 helps you to harmonize the with mood of your environment and vice-versa.  Act Now!
WRITTEN EXERCISE: Think of a situation that required you to tune in to the moods, mentalities and deepest concerns of the people around you. Maybe it was within your family, your community or at work. When did you ever have to demonstrate a real emotional connection without actually experiencing feelings of sorrow, rage, elation or love? What helped or hindered your ability to empathize? Activities
PERSONAL RITUAL: This OLA16 is fantastic for helping you to live the medicine of social interaction. It is premised on the proverbial wisdom that reminds us that "We laugh at those who laugh at us. When two people laugh at one another, it degenerates into a fight. Let there be nothing in my life to laugh at."  When suspicion is high and trust is low, this is the optimal OLA16 to practice. Act Now!
WRITTEN EXERCISE: Revisit a time when your expectations were unmet. It may have happened in a new relationship or with people who have historically been reliable. When did you ever doubt your friends, partners or loved ones? Recall what it was like to feel disappointed, betrayed or abandoned. How did you manage your emotions in that situation? How does it influence your approach to building relationships? Activity
PERSONAL RITUAL: This OLA16 is perfect for helping you live the medicine of reciprocity, especially when you're positioned to give a lot but you don't quite know if others are ready, willing and able to meet you half way. When you aspire to the altruistic path of transformation through mastery of giving, producing and requiring that others meet your level of generosity, this is the OLA16 to make use of.   Act Now!
WRITTEN EXERCISE: Consider a time when your instincts were super high. Maybe you were playing a sport, working as a soldier or you found yourself in a crisis situation. What was happening when your primal instincts, urges or impulses completely overrode your intellectual and emotional awareness. How has that experience influenced your self perception and your understanding of human nature in general? Activities
PERSONAL RITUAL: This OLA16 is ideal for drawing upon the dynamic forces that emerge from your primal consciousness, transforming restless energy into higher understanding and finally using that understanding to guide your primal consciousness. This closed loop system will give you greater control over your raw urges to create or destroy. With this OLA16, you will intermingle your higher and lower energies to generate sustainable personal growth.  Act Now!
