The Forgotten Wisdom of Your Body

Ever notice how a toddler learns to walk? They're completely absorbed in the present moment, aligned with gravity, emotions flowing freely. According to Dan Millman, this isn't just cute-it's our natural state of mastery. We don't lose this ability as we age; it simply becomes buried under layers of tension, limiting beliefs, and emotional baggage. This insight formed the foundation of Millman's journey from world trampoline champion to philosopher of human potential, creating a bridge between Eastern wisdom and Western athletic science that has influenced everyone from NBA stars like Kobe Bryant to corporate leadership programs worldwide. The path back to this natural mastery isn't about acquiring special talents-it's about removing the obstacles that block what's already there.
