A student sent this note to me today, and I wanted to comment. He has given me permission to quote it. All identifying information has been removed.

Hi Steven, I hope you are well. I wanted to update you on my personal Warriors Journey. I was letting the Morning Ritual slip sometimes going a week or two without. 5MM is always hit and miss with me but I was not doing much of that. So a couple weeks ago I decided to go a full week doing the Morning Ritual every day, not missing. I made it about 8 days before I missed a morning. I love the focus it gives me for the day but my wife noticed too without me talking to her about it. She found me “sexier” and felt I was seducing her all week without any pressure. It was a busy and hectic week for both of us so we did not really have time but normally I can get a little short if it has been too long, but last week was different. And the only thing that changed was the MR. One of my goals is to be a better husband and I use the MR to walk my self through how I will operationalize that. So just a bit of ad hoc learning on my part and a bit more evidence for you about the value of what you teach. Thanks Steven. Oh and by the way, once we did have time? Oh boy!”

Fantastic. I am SO happy, not just for the student (Call him “Roy”) but for the opportunity it gives me to discuss aspects of the Warrior’s Journey program that are difficult to believe unless you’ve experienced it.

The Morning Ritual (also called the M.A.G.I.C. Ritual) is simply moving physically WHILE chanting…
