Part I

Foundations of the Dragon’s Path

We begin at the threshold, where certainties loosen and potential beckons.

The Dragon may first appear as primal fear—not an obstacle to avoid, but a mirror of the becoming it conceals.

Raw survival turns sovereign when stewarded with steadiness.

Your raw, amoral, rising life force—and with it your mistakes, your wounds, the behaviors or choices you regret, and the choices you celebrate—arises from the same source. We can call this the Serpent.

When you integrate these aspects of yourself with ethics, wisdom, and the Sage’s mind, the Serpent becomes Dragon—power moving through body, heart, and mind, gaining the wings of embodied, non-dual awareness.

This path spirals inward rather than running straight, blending direct experience with conceptual inquiry, and always returning awareness to the body.

Each turn deepens practice: patterns intermingle, recur, and reveal new facets as you descend within and extend outward, guided by readiness cues that keep the channel clear. We loop back with more capacity instead of sprinting forward.

Here, the Serpent’s raw surge meets the Dragon’s integrative gaze. Primal fear, shadow, and brilliance rise from the same well; when they are held with ethics and discernment, that current becomes embodied, sovereign power.

The Five Energetic Bodies already shimmer beneath the surface of your experience—form, eros, soul, archetypal pattern, and the quiet hum of the void. Your Serene Center is the compass that can learn to feel them; Field–Resonance–Action is the cadence by which you move. The relational matrix (Parent, Child, Sibling, Lover emergent) is living terrain you have been rehearsing since your first breath.

Here, at the threshold, the Dragon is not a distant myth but an inner orientation toward integration over intensity—an invitation to let grounding, consent, and embodied practice hold the fire you are waking up to.

The Dragon stirs, fire flickering on the horizon.

Will you answer its call?

Will you step onto the Path now?

Pause & Ground

• Feel your feet on the ground—contact points, weight, temperature.
• Breathe softly through the nose; lengthen the exhale and let the shoulders drop.
• Pause. If intensity rises, pause or stop and return when steadier; you set the pace.

The threshold awaits.

Why this matters: Grounding lets these concepts land in your body, not just your head.

Let the journey begin.
