Take a Trip to Tangri-lá!

We all want to be happy.  But that goal often requires us to make changes in our lives, and most of us are not even sure where to begin.  Even if we know that something about US has to change, how can we identify what IT is, or how to actually go about changing it?  All we know is something is wrong and we are not as happy as we believe we can be. 

 

 "Balancing our lives", and ourselves is the popular advice.  While that certainly sounds right, the issue of what balance is and what it means for each of US specifically remains rather fuzzy.  What exactly gets balanced?  What is "yin/yang" anyway, or "active/passive" or "male/female" energy?  Since identifying specific issues in ourselves is critical to the process of change, it sure would help to understand what some of the manifestation of those terms means in humans.  Here are just a few of the ways an imbalance can manifest itself.

Yin/Female/Passive Energy Weakness:

Impatient when listening to others

Tendencies to "leap before you think"

Easily irritated and angered

Short fuse

Overreact even to trivial problems

Fear of intimacy

Lack of trust

Unable to take direction or instruction

Difficulty allowing others to "be in charge"

Incapable of enjoying "down time"

Silence makes you nervous

Hold grudges

Aggressive

Impatient

Resist change

 

Yang/Male/Active Energy Weakness:

Difficulty making decisions

Lack of focus

Tend to daydream

Unable to express yourself clearly

People often don't know what you mean

Unable to make decisions

Dread being in charge

Feelings of lack of control in life

Procrastination

Hesitant/timid driver

Have great ideas that never go anywhere

Shyness

Rarely offer an opinion

Don't stay with one thing for long

If any of these describes you, it is not a life sentence - YOU CAN CHANGE.  I found the tools to accomplish that by dancing Tango, and now I am sharing them with you.  You can learn, and use, these tools - even if you don't dance.

The Midwest Book Review called it "the ultimate self-help book"!  

Interviewers have called it "the dawn of a new men's movement",

Readers have been enlightened and empowered. 

 

A modern allegory using Tango as the metaphor for life, The Tao of Tango is a journey of self-discovery.  Based on lessons acquired from years of dancing Tango, The Tao of Tango provides you with a clear understanding of "opposites" and "balance", detailed, step-by-step explanations of why we make the choices we make, and how to change the way we make those choices.  By applying the extraordinary transformational elements I learned from dancing Tango to my own everyday life, I was able to make the profound, lasting changes I had begun to believe would never happen!
