Path of Power Program
Empower Your Life’s Journey At Luminous Warrior
The Luminous Warrior PATH OF POWER (POP) Program takes you on an unprecedented journey of self-discovery and personal power. In these 9 individual workshops, you will learn lessons, techniques, practices and tools that empower your physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being. You will be able to practically apply and integrate these tools into your life. The practices of the POP Program will improve your relationship with yourself, your loved ones, your community and the world.
The POP Program is an effective, substantive, practical and rigorous journey that is divided in 9 workshops, taught over a 9-month period. Each workshop can be taken individually, or you can choose to step in for the full nine-month journey.
Nine months is the time it takes to birth a new life and grow a new physical body. The 9 workshops of the POP program combine to a total of 40 steps. The number 40 is significant in a number of faiths and traditions. Moses spent three consecutive periods of “forty days and forty nights” on Mount Sina. It takes the fetus 40 days to take form in the womb. Pregnancy takes 40 weeks. Muhammad was praying and fasting in the cave for 40 days. Jesus fasted “forty days and forty nights” in the Judean desert. Each passing solar year can be measured by keeping track of every 40th day. In other words, it takes only the number 40 to experience personal transformation. It is for this reason that we recommend making a commitment to go through the entire 40-step process. Are you ready to step fully into your power?
In the ancient traditions it is recognized that we must go through a personal healing and empowerment journey before we can truly align with our purpose and live our life with integrity, purpose and power. We have lost much of this wisdom in our modern world. The POP Program brings back the ancient wisdom and teachings and merges them with modern science to give you practical and useful ways to align your life with your purpose, live more courageously aligned with your divine mission, and make a positive impact on the world at large.

POP Program – Detailed Outline
Empowering The Mind (Element of Air, Steps 1-4)
In this level you will learn 4 powerful ways to empower your mind and let go of old thought patterns and beliefs that no longer serve you. Learn about the “4 brains” and 4 levels of perception. The lessons you learn will empower your mind with new information that is based in science and allow you to achieve higher levels of consciousness and problem solving abilities in your day-to-day life.
Relationship With Yourself (Element of Earth, Steps 5-8)
The relationship with yourself is one of the fundamental relationships we have to come to terms with before we can make a positive impact on others or the world. There are four critical steps to improving this relationship and be able to practice unconditional love toward yourself. The steps you learn are critical to coming into right relationship with yourself and beginning to find peace in life.
Empowering The Body (Element of Earth, Steps 9-12)
Many people have a love-hate relationship with their bodies. In Level 3 you will focus on empowering the body by allowing it to release old memories of trauma, fear and patterns that are often held in its cellular memory. Empowering the body and finding ways to be comfortable in your body is a critical preparatory step before you can engage in harmonious relationships with others. By focusing on your body and your earthly being you will be able to access tools that can shed old stories and allow you to live in harmony with your body and the Earth.
Relationship with Family and Loved Ones (Element of Water, Steps 13-16)
Relationships with one’s families is often mirrored in relationships with one’s loved ones. In Level 4 you will clear generational imprints that are not aligned with who you are and don’t serve you, your loved ones or your life mission. Diseases, patterns and memories are often held in families and even cultural heritage. The collective memory of a people can reap havoc on your personal life if left unattended. You will learn ways to clear those imprints that are not serving you or your family. After Level 4, you will be able to bring honoring to your ancestors and family in a loving, forgiving and compassionate way. And you will learn how to bring healing to an entire family system with integrity and ethics.
Empowering The Emotions (Element of Water, Steps 17-20)
Your emotions play an important role in your well being and perception of happiness. Unfortunately, many individuals do not truly understand the source of emotions and are too afraid to dig deeper. Level 5 focuses on truly getting to know and working with your emotions as messengers of alignment and enlightenment. Once you master the empowerment steps for your emotions, you will no longer be afraid to “feel bad” or constantly seek to “feel excited”. Instead, you will learn to use emotions as guides along the way to your Path of Power.
Relationship With Community (Element of Fire, Steps 21-24)
Level 6 focuses on your relationship with your community. This is where you begin to get glimpses of your role in the community and of how you can best be of service to those that surround you. You will discover new ways to be of service, and step beyond self-imposed boundaries and competitive thinking. Instead, you will tap into your unique life purpose and begin to courageously align your actions with your mission. The relationship with your community carries the element of fire and passion, and you will learn how to use this passion to fuel your soul’s journey rather than burning those you serve.
Empowering The Soul (Element of Fire, Steps 25-28)
The soul plays an integral role in your life journey. What’s curious is that most people do not know the tools that can empower the soul and listen to its messages. In Level 7, you will focus on just that goal. The soul retrieval process is one of those tools in which you learn to recover the parts of you that made you feel empowered, but now feel are gone. When you go through events in life that you perceive as traumatic and sad, there is a chance that parts of yourself are “splitting off”. You can recognize when a split has happened by statements such as “I no longer feel the same,” or “I don’t feel like myself anymore,” or “I feel as if part of me has died.” It is possible to recover those parts of yourself and restore the soul to the fullness and vibrancy it once held. Level 7 focuses on practices that empower and restore the soul to its full light and power so that you can truly reclaim your power and walk your path with joy, wisdom and courage.
Relationship With The World (Element of Air, Steps 29-32)
Your relationship with the world is the focus in Level 8. After having gone through 7 powerful levels on the journey of self-discovery and alignment, you are now ready to do work in the world free of projections and fears. The practices you learn in this level focus on how to tap into possibilities and manifest a world without projections and illusions. World work also deals with larger systems and institutions and the way that you contribute to the manifestation of the very problems you are wanting to solve. It allows you to take responsibility for your parts, and bring consciousness to your projections. The tools you learn in this level allow you to shift your focus so you can envision a world of harmony, peace and abundance, and have the means to manifest it into reality. Once you master the lessons and steps of Level 8, you will be able to transcend the desires of the ego and have the courage to sit in circle with those who envision the world to come.
Personal Power and Purpose (Element of Ether, Steps 33-40)
Level 9 is the only level that has 8 steps. The number 8 signifies infinity, and it is at this level where you learn to use your power to be of service to yourself, your family, ancestors, community and the world. It takes courage, alignment and constant awareness to walk your path with power, and it is easy to use power over other people or situations. The focus of this level is expressing your power in your life and in service to others. Living your life as a unique expression of a Luminous Warrior and as a role model is one of the goals of this level. Additionally, you will develop authentic, highly personalized and effective ways to bring alignment to your Mind, Body, Emotions and Soul.
