Take a deep breath and slow your roll. Find your physical center. Bring your focus to your center by imagining energy being brought into it and coming out of it. Connect with the world around you and ground through your feet.

Center- Take a deep breath, pause and find your center by touching your thumbs to your body's physical center.

BE FUTUREPOSITIV!

The Futurepositiv philosophy is a personal commitment to make things better than we found them.

It is the core philosopy of the AVALON7 Collective.

It integrates the art of continual improvement, positive philosophy, and activation of the individual through movement and centering.

The first step in being FUTUREPOSITIV is to practice the ACTIVATE principles in your daily life.

The more people with the skills to remain conscious instead of living from a fear state the more we can activate the upward spiral of positivity in the world and build a brighter future for everyone.
