Grandmaster Mantak Chia
Wednesday, January 4, 2023
Learn advanced Qigong and ancient Chinese meditative practices to connect your inner world with the outer Universe — from Grandmaster Mantak Chia, founder of the Universal Healing Tao System taught throughout the world.
Balance negative emotions — increasing physical energy, releasing tension; and cultivating a long, healthy life filled with joy and purpose.

Within you right now is an entire Universe that’s identical to the outer Universe...
This scalable inner version of the Universe encompasses everything — your tiniest cells, your major organs, the Earth’s life-giving elements, and the vast intelligence of the Cosmos.
And Inner Alchemy is how you can engage this vast intelligence in a conscious and evolutionary way…
The Taoists first discovered Inner Alchemy principles more than 5,000 years ago, according to Grandmaster Mantak Chia, an internationally celebrated grandmaster of Qigong who’s trained tens of thousands of students, Qigong masters, teachers, and practitioners worldwide.
As Grandmaster Chia teaches his students, to become connected to the outer Universe, we must first gain control of our own Qi (energy flow).
Join Grandmaster Chia for a comprehensive 15-week course that builds on all of his previous courses — to balance your inner and outer Universes as you cultivate the harmonious evolution of your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies...
Grandmaster Chia expands on the wisdom of his previous courses to present a series of ancient Chinese meditative and internal energy practices to balance your internal organs, increase physical energy, release tension, and cultivate radiant health and wellbeing.
Through a 3-part process, your body will become more open so your self-healing powers can fully take hold:
1) Balancing negative and positive energies (Fusion of the Five Elements)
2) The growth of positive energies (Cosmic Fusion)
3) Opening energetic channels to make them receptive to outside energies (Fusion of the Psychic Channels)
This advanced course with Grandmaster Chia has three parts:
Part 1: Fusion of the 5 Elements I is the first step in the Taoist practice of Inner Alchemy for self-healing and emotional and spiritual development. You’ll learn to control the creation and flow of emotional, mental, and physical energies within your body.
Part 2: Cosmic Fusion II is an advanced level of Inner Alchemy. You’ll learn to bring the physical body into balance with the energy body the positive energy — to detoxify, nourish, and integrate the physical and energy body with the forces of nature.
In Part 3: The Fusion III Meditation, you’ll open the greater bridge and regulator channels — spinal cord, head, and heart — using Grandmaster Chia’s cutting and drilling techniques to clear energy blockages. You’ll protect your body from external energies by sealing the senses and aura and receiving the higher frequencies of the Universal force.
Drawing on timeless Taoist wisdom, you’ll learn to balance the five major negative emotions (anger, hate, worry, sadness, and fear) with your strengths, cultivating your ability to heal yourself and others.
You’ll dive deeper into the Microcosmic Orbit, which runs up the spine and down the front of the body as the pathway through which the distilled essence of your energy flows. This pathway connects the three bodies — physical, soul, and spirit — within you, and ultimately fuses them into one immortal body.
As you progress through this powerful, integrative course, you’ll further develop emotionally and spiritually, be able to resolve self-conflict, and activate self-healing. You’ll have a greater command over your own inner Universe and as a result, deepen the love you have for yourself and others.
During this 15-week course that builds upon the foundation from Grandmaster Chia’s previous courses, you’ll:
- Learn Qigong practices and meditations that dissolve negative energies trapped inside your body
- Deeply understand the connections between the 5 outer senses (experienced through the ears, eyes, nose, mouth, and tongue) and the 5 major negative emotions (anger, hate, worry, sadness, and fear)
- Remove negative emotions from the organs in which they are lodged — by neutralizing and transforming the negativity back into positive energy
- Use the pearl energy within you to grow and intensify the energy of positive virtue
- Circulate positive Qi through your major organs using the creation cycle of the 5 elements
- Gather energy to form a beautiful pearl of compassion energy — then use it to open and cleanse specific channels that pass through your physical body into the energy body
- Learn how your organs’ positive energy is absorbed into the pearl and then circulated within 4 special energy channels
As Grandmaster Chia will explain, each emotion is associated with a pair of organs in the body, which is then linked to one of the Earth’s five elements. An excess of an emotion can cause disease in the associated organ, and the imbalance in one will cause disharmony in another.
Tao meditations and practices, like The Inner Smile, for example, can help balance and release the negative power, replacing it with the positive energy of love, joy, and happiness.
What You’ll Discover in These 15 Weeks
In this 15-week transformational journey, Grandmaster Chia will guide you through the fundamental skills and competencies you’ll need to increase your physical energy, release tension, and cultivate a long, healthy life filled with joy and purpose.

Course Sessions Wednesdays and one Thursday at 5:00pm Pacific
This course will feature LIVE teachings, interactive training sessions, experiential practices, and Q&A with Grandmaster Chia. Each session will build harmoniously upon the previous ones, so you’ll develop a complete holistic understanding of the practices, tools, and principles you’ll need to fuse the five natural elements of the external world with your physical body for emotional balance, happiness, and health.
Part 1: Fusion of the 5 Elements (Modules 1-8)
Fusion of the Five Elements I is the first step in the Taoist practice of Inner Alchemy for self-healing and emotional and spiritual development. Grandmaster Chia will guide you as you learn to control the generation and flow of emotional, mental, and physical energies within your body.
Module 1: Improve Daily Interactions & Resolve Inner Conflict With Fusion of the 5 Elements (January 4)

Fusion of the Five Elements uses pakuas (symbolic representations of the eight forces of nature) and energy collection points to balance, connect, and draw out negative emotional energies found in the organs.
As Grandmaster Chia will explain in this opening class, these energies, along with their corresponding glands and sense energies, are then fused and transformed into pure, life-force energy.
The purity of this energy has a magnetizing quality that allows it to condense into a ball of refined energy that is called the pearl.
The pearl is then used to connect to the Universal, Cosmic Particle, and Earth Forces — whose energies become part of the pearl.
A soul or energy body is formed from the pearl, enabling you to go beyond connecting with the forces of the Universe on a purely physical level. Later, the pearl returns to the organs and glands to enhance them and provides protection to the physical and soul body...
In this first module, you’ll explore:
- The energetic conflict your internal organs and energy systems have with each other
- How to counterbalance emotional and archetypal energies
- The ways energetic conflicts show up in life, family, and relationships
- How to make your opposing organs work as a team
- How to connect with unlimited Universal Love, improving daily interactions and providing a vehicle for the virtues — which derive from the internal organs
- The Inner Smile meditation to relax the mind and the body
Module 2: Practice Tao Meditation to Tap Into the Universe’s Violet Light & Connect With Love, Happiness, Purpose & Vision (January 11)

The Taoists believe that a dark violet light is the universal color that illuminates the whole sky. When you connect to this living light, you tap into a profound sense of love, joy, and happiness...
Conversely, when you emanate love, joy, happiness, you also attract more of this universal violet light.
One of the first things Grandmaster Chia’s own masters taught him was to close his eyes and look into the Universe’s darkness. In this class, he’ll pass this wisdom onto you...
In this module you’ll:
- Visualize violet light to connect with the heart’s loving energy
- Become aware of the microcosmic pathway as you move the pearl energy down to the Third Eye point at mid eyebrow
- Feel the gentle, smiling violet light energy combine with the cosmic particle force as it’s drawn in through the mid eyebrow — as you visualize its violet color and experience its firm, strong, determined force
- Feel the mid eyebrow point glow with light, and feel a sense of purpose
- Explore practices to tap into your sense of purpose and vision
Module 3: The Power of Inner Alchemy Astrology — Read Your Personal Astrology & Write the Story of Your Life & Health (January 18)

When the Taoist masters turned their attention toward understanding the nature and connection between the forces of the outer Universe and the forces of the human body, they made another discovery...
... each life born into the human form is developed, structured, and influenced by a group of stars.
This group of stars, which includes the planets and cosmic particles within its configuration, controls the individual’s life-force, good and bad fortune, and birth and death.
As Grandmaster Chia will explain, each day of your life reflects a continuing need to absorb energy from the stars and planets and from the cosmic particles. To explore the patterns of star energy in detail, ancient Taoists developed and refined the science of astrology.
In addition to the energy from the stars, the Taoist masters found that humans require another source of natural energy — the energy supplied by the Earth’s force. The absorption of all natural forces nourishes the nervous system, organs, glands, senses, soul, and spirit of a human being.
In this module, you’ll:
- Discover how your organs and the science of astrology can help you write the story of your life and health
- Review your astrological chart and connect with the relevant elements
- Understand the energetic connections across lifetimes and connect to your present lifetime’s challenges and opportunities.
- Explore how to work with alchemical, astrological, elemental, and archetypal treatment s to bring balance into your life, reducing and eliminating conflict
- Learn how the different elements counter each other
Module 4: Activating Heart Pumps So Blood Flows More Easily — Boosting Your Energy & Wellbeing (January 25)

Did you know everyone has extra hearts they don’t use, according to the Taiosts?
In this session, Grandmaster Chia will explain several different elements of anatomy and dis-ease prevention from a Taoist perspective. For instance, a cancer tumor has two billion cells, but your body has over a trillion cells — so why don’t we spend more time training our cells to destroy the intrusive cancer cells naturally?
Unfortunately, instead of considering this approach as an option, we often visit doctors who cut the tumors out, along with other vital body parts.
In this module, you’ll explore:
- How to connect each of your organs with its corresponding color and planet
- How the extra heart you don’t use is the calf (leg) muscle
- An exercise where you’ll contract the calf muscle to help blood flow more easily to the heart
- Why it’s essential to extend breathing to the lower, upper, and middle abdominals
Module 5: Chanting the Pakua’s 8 Forces to Create in Tandem With the Universe’s Energy (February 1)

The pakua is a symbolic representation of the eight forces of nature — wind, thunder, mountains, water, the heavens, lakes and rain, earth, and fire.
As Grandmaster Chia will explain, instead of solely using the energy within your body, you combine the energy of your organs with the energy of the Universe. This is a technique used in the Fusion practice to condense and gather the abundant energy that surrounds you into something your body can use and digest.
By chanting the names of the eight forces of nature, you’ll invoke the forces of the Universe. You’ll also experience a vibration coming from the lower dantien...
In the process, you’ll create a connection between your internal energy and the energy of the Universe.
In this module, you’ll:
- Chant to form the pakua at the lower abdomen to connect with and attract the 5 energies of your organs and the 8 forces of the pakua
- Balance and transform the emotional energies of the organs
- Discover how the Tao balances the 8 forces and the 5 organs in harmony
- Learn why the pakuas is used in every fusion formula
- Cultivate inner balance using the correlations between the 8 forces of the Universe and the organs in the body
- Explore the power of protection animals and their connection to an organ in the body, a direction, and an element — for example, tortoise/water/kidney/south
Module 6: Connect the Senses With Your Organs to Cultivate More Self-Control, Balance & Peace (February 8)

You have the power to strengthen and control your senses and prevent your sense energy from scattering...
Grandmaster Chia will guide you to turn your senses inward, drawing them into the organs and their collection points.
In the process, energy is moved into all four pakuas, where the energy is refined and then condensed into the cauldron — the center of control, where the pearl is formed. (You’ll learn more about the cauldron in the next Module.)
Once your senses and organs are connecting and moving into one place, you’ll feel a sense of control. You’ll feel stronger as you increase your power to overcome temptations — because your senses and organs will be stronger.
In this module, you’ll discover:
- How to control your senses and emotions as they begin to emerge
- How to program yourself by anchoring in your self-control so that you can recall the feeling at any time.
- Affirmations to help you program your emotions, including I am calm, clear, at peace, centered, in physical and emotional balance, and under self-control
- Negative emotions you’ll want to transform
Module 7: Create the Center Point (Cauldron) Forming a Pearl to Access Refined Life-Force Energy (February 15)

At the center of your body between the four pakuas, you create a center of being, or center of control, called the cauldron.
As the energy is drawn by the four pakuas into the cauldron at your center of being, it’s fused or crystallized into a life-force energy sphere or ball, a pearl of condensed energy...
This pearl is then circulated in the Microcosmic Orbit.
As Grandmaster Chia will explain, the cauldron is located in a space between the navel and the Door of Life, but it’s more toward the back of the body, in front of the kidneys. It’s the place where prenatal force, as part of the Universal or Original Force, was formed.
It’s also the place where all of the five elemental forces combine and transform into a very refined energy. At the cauldron, energies are mixed further, blended, and condensed, and the pearl is formed.
In this module, you’ll discover how:
- The pearl is your essence, your second body, and a copy of you
- The energy from the 4 pakuas is balanced and condensed at their Tai Chi centers — and how these centers can glow with white or golden light
- The Tai Chi centers of the 4 pakuas spiral and blend the pakua’s energy, directing it through the funnel-like backs of the pakuas into the cauldron
- To locate the center of your cauldron, which is often level with the Door of Life and the navel — in men who are top-heavy, the center can be lower; in women, who are more often bottom-heavy, it can be higher center
- The front and back pakuas function as a pair in spiraling, drawing, refining, and condensing the energy into the cauldron
- These 2-side pakuas create a second pair to spiral, draw, refine, and condense the energy into the cauldron
- Practices to cultivate pearl energy in the body
Module 8: Transform the Negative Emotions of Each Organ Into Useful Energy to Cultivate More Love, Joy & Happiness (February 22)

During thousands of years of exploring philosophy and psychology, the Taoists realized the need to explore basic human emotions...
As Grandmaster Chia will explain, they observed that if certain emotions are not understood and dealt with, they’ll attract or create other undesirable emotions.
The Taoists believe that all emotions originate from the organs, and that the mind regulates and determines their use. Although the emotional energies that emanate from each organ can vary, certain specific, basic negative emotions are associated with each organ.
The kidneys are associated with fear... the heart with impatience and hastiness... the liver with anger... the lungs with sadness and depression... and the spleen with worry.
As you understand the negative emotions of each organ more deeply in this module, you’ll:
- Bring negative emotions like hatred, anger, and fear into balance by cultivating more love, joy, and happiness — composting the “garbage” into fertilizer
- Continue to blend and transform the energies in the front pakua, and create the back, left, and right side pakuas
- Further refine and condense the energy in the 4 pakuas into the cauldron to form a pearl
- More deeply circulate the pearl in the Microcosmic Orbit
Part 2: Cosmic Fusion II (Modules 9-12)
Cosmic Fusion II is an advanced level of Inner Alchemy that teaches how to bring the physical body into balance with the energy body — to detoxify, nourish, and integrate the physical body and the energy body with the forces of nature.
Module 9: Draw Out The Organs’ Negative Energies & Create and Nurture Virtues Like Love & Compassion (March 1)

Grandmaster Chia will share how Cosmic Fusion builds on the foundation of internal alchemy laid in Fusion of the Five Elements...
Energy drawn from the organs and senses funnels into a collection point — transforming negative emotions that are fused and condensed into a pearl through the pakuas.
When the resulting pearl is further refined, then balanced, neutralized energy is circulated through the Microcosmic Orbit, and the body absorbs this enhanced life-force. The pearl is then used to form the Energy Body.
Once the negative emotions have been drawn out and transformed, the pearl is moved through the creation cycle, nurturing the virtues. These qualities are cultivated, blended, and condensed into the pearl, forming the energy of compassion — the essence of the senses, glands, organs, and mind.
In this module, you’ll explore:
- Deeper layers of the Inner Smile and 6 Healing Sounds — simple yet powerful practices that teach us how to relax and heal the vital organs and transform negative emotions back into a rich source of energy
- How to open the heart center and connect with unlimited Universal Love, which improves your daily interactions
- How virtues are generated from your internal organs
- Why Taoists perceive the heart as the seat of love, joy, and happiness that can connect with Universal Love — and how it’s also a cauldron in which the energies of your virtues are combined and strengthened
- How the heart gathers your virtues to be refined and blended into compassion, the highest of all virtues
Module 10: Connecting to the Planetary Force to Receive Higher, More Enduring Energy & Release Fears of Death (March 8)

At this stage of practice, you’ll learn to digest increasingly higher grade energies of the Higher Self and Universal Forces from the sun, moon, planets, stars, galaxies, and from the mind of the Tao itself.
Grandmaster Chia will guide you through practices to help you awaken to eternal, enduring energies.
You can become cognizant of your true nature as a spirit, and with plenty of practice over time, even experience the ability to leave the physical body and travel in the immortal spirit body. This leads to an experience of the inner worlds of spirit...
Fear of death is vanquished as you become more familiar with life beyond physicality.
In this module, you’ll explore:
- How the 5 Elemental Forces are expressions of energy that can be observed in nature and throughout the Universe
- Why the forces that influence the cosmos are identical to the forces that affect nature and our bodies
- How these 5 Elemental Forces promote interactions between the 5 elements (fire, water, wood, metal, and earth) — and affect the 5 major organs (heart, kidneys, liver, lungs, and spleen)
- How to read charts to understand which planet is closest at a particular time, so you’ll know which organ will be most beneficial to work with — for example, when Mars gets close, it’s best to work on heart energy
Module 11: Opening the Thrusting Channels (Perineum to Crown) to Allow Light Into the Darkness of the Inner Being & Create Your Own Psychic Self-Defense (March 15)

The energy of the positive emotions from all the organs is absorbed into the pearl and then circulated in four of the eight special channels: the Microcosmic Orbit (Governor and Functional Channels), the Belt Channel, and the Thrusting Channel.
As Grandmaster Chia will explain, the Thrusting Channels run through the center of the body, linking the “chakra” centers. The Belt Channel spirals around the body strengthening the aura and providing a form of psychic self-defense.
The three Thrusting Channels and the Belt Channels permit a freer flow of energy throughout the body.
The Thrusting Channels need the tremendous energy of good virtue to help them open, and they must be opened first. Their primary function is to cleanse specific energy pathways in the body, opening them up for the energy to flow freely.
In this module, you’ll explore:
- The 4 stages of opening the thrusting channel: 1) to the diaphragm, 2) to the neck, 3) to and out of the crown, 4) down to the feet and into the ground, and up to the crown
- How to use the now highly refined pearl to open and clear the Thrusting Channels used for cleansing and protection, and the protective belt route that surrounds the Thrusting Channels
- A visualization practice to look up from perineum, opening the thrusting channel to allow light into the darkness of the inner being
Module 12: Opening the Belt Channel to Contain & Protect Your Energy (March 22)

The Belt Channel is a psychic channel of power and self‐defense, encircling the body with energy. It protects the body and fences the energy within the Governor, Functional, and Thrusting Channels, while warding off negative energy from the outside world.
Starting at the navel each Chi center of the body is crossed and encircled by one level of the continuing Belt Channel. A cross-section at the navel level would show the Belt Channel connecting to your body’s other channels.
At the front of the body, the Belt Channel connects with the Functional Channel. As it moves to the left side it connects with the Left Thrusting Channel. Then at the Door of Life in the back, it connects with the Governor Channel. To the right it connects with the Right Thrusting Channel. Returning to the front, the circle is complete.
In this module, you’ll explore:
- How to practice the Inner Smile, Fusion of the 5 Elements, chanting, and other techniques to prepare you to open the Belt Channel
- Forming a pearl, practicing Fusion of the 5 Elements to draw the energy from the front, back, and side pakuas at the level of the navel to lay the groundwork for the Belt Channel
- How to begin forming the Belt Channel using the 4 pakuas and a pearl
- Wrapping rings energetically around the body to help contain the energy within your field — and establish a strong foundation for channels to be activated
Part 3: Fusion III Meditation (Modules 13-15)
The Fusion III meditation opens the greater bridge and regulator channels, spinal cord, head, and heart using the cutting and drilling techniques to clean out any energy blockages.
You’ll learn to protect your body from external energies by sealing the senses and aura and receiving the higher frequencies of the Universal Force.
Module 13: Opening the Psychic Channels to Discover Your Fearless, Authentic Self (March 29)

The next level of the Universal Healing Tao system consists of opening the psychic channels...
Grandmaster Chia will share practices in which you’ll use extra energy saved through the previous practices — including recycled negative energies — to build a strong energy body.
Developing this Energy Body awakens a part of yourself that perceives and acts free of environmental, educational, and karmic conditioning. Once the Energy Body is strong, it becomes a vehicle to help the untrained soul and spirit for the long journey home.
In this module, you’ll:
- Open the 8 psychic channels
- Learn how the Governor Channel, Functional Channel, crown, and perineum link the psychic channels
- Explore how energy and information are attracted into your field when you open the psychic channels
- Explore how violet light brings wisdom, insight, and healing power
Module 14: Opening the Yin and Yang Bridge & Regulator Channels to Heal Your Organs & Glands From the Inside Out (April 5)

In this stage of fusion, you’ll cleanse the energy pathways in the body by activating the Bridge and Regulator channels. With the opening and activating of the Microcosmic Orbit, the Ascending Central Channel (Chong Mai), the Belt Channels and the Yin and Yang Bridge and Regulator Channels in the arms and legs — the body can become completely permeable to the circle of life energy.
The unimpeded flow of energy forms the basis for perfect physical and mental health. In this stage, you’ll be able to create an extraordinary psychic protective field and learn techniques to solve energy blockages that attach to the spine and other parts of the body.
You’ll also learn how violet “intelligent” light carries information, wisdom, and knowledge in a network that covers the entire Universe. Your heart radiates this violet light and you can find this wisdom light, full of high vibrational energy, everywhere in the Universe.
In this module, you’ll discover:
- Why you naturally attract violet light when you relax and smile
- How you can use violet light to heal your organs and glands
- The physical location points of the Great Bridge, and Great Regulator Channels — and their connection to acupuncture points
- How the flow of energy through the Great Bridge and Regulator results in your inner elixir streaming up to the crown
- How to create an aura to protect the body and being to receive the higher frequencies of the Universal Force.
Module 15: Creating the Soul & Spiritual Body as Your Foundation Through Integration of Qigong in Your Daily Life (April 6)

The Taoists say our soul and spirit need containers when they come to us...
At this point, you’ve been immersed in The Universal Healing Tao as a practical system of self-development to make space for the harmonious evolution of your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual bodies.
Through Grandmaster Chia’s series of ancient Chinese meditative and internal energy exercises, you’ve learned to increase physical energy, release tension, improve health, practice self-defense, and gain the ability to heal yourself and others.
In this closing session, you’ll review and explore:
- The positive and negative emotions in each organ, and how it connects to each element
- The process of creating a solid foundation of health and wellbeing in the physical body while also developing your spiritual potential
- The natural energies of the Sun, Moon, Earth, Stars, and environmental forces around you
- Techniques and practices to develop and nurture a solid spiritual body
- How you can continue to transcend physical boundaries through the development of your soul, and the spirit within your humanity

About Grandmaster Mantak Chia

Grandmaster Mantak Chia was born in Bangkok, Thailand in 1944. Recognized very early as having great potential for spiritual development, he was initiated into meditation practices by Buddhist monks at the age of six. While studying in Hong Kong, he learned Tai Chi Chuan, Aikido, and Kundalini Yoga from a variety of teachers.
His pursuit of Taoist teachings led him to meet Master Yi Eng, the White Cloud Hermit, a Taoist Master originally from Central China, living at that time in the mountains not far from Hong Kong. Master Yi Eng was to become Grandmaster Mantak Chia’s principal teacher. Over a period of a few years, Master Yi transmitted to Grandmaster Mantak Chia the most sacred and closely held Taoist practices, formulas, and methods of internal alchemy, culminating in the Reunion of Heaven and Man.
Realizing that, as transmitted to him, these immortal practices could not easily be absorbed by Western students, Grandmaster Mantak Chia undertook to integrate them with his studies in Western physical anatomy. Through this process, he created a unique view of the internal aspects of these practices. With the Universal Healing Tao system, he has created for the first time a way for any individual to quickly get to the essence of subtle practices whose real purpose has been shrouded in secrecy for millennia.
The author of dozens of books, booklets, and videos describing the theory and methods of these practices, Grandmaster Mantak Chia has taught thousands of enthusiastic students the principles of Taoist internal practice over the past 40 years. He has certified hundreds of instructors and practitioners to help in the transmission of these teachings.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What’s a virtual course?
A: It’s a great way to engage live and pre-recorded teachings and each other from the comfort of your home! All you need is a computer, mobile device, or telephone. If there’s more than one person in your household taking the course, you’ll each need your own connection. We use Zoom video conferencing to make it just like an in-person event, where you can ask questions and deepen your exploration of the course themes.
There’s no additional charge for connecting to Zoom with your computer or mobile device. Please note that dialing Zoom from your telephone is a toll call; your telephone service provider will charge you according to your existing long-distance calling plan. International access numbers are available.
“I’ve never seen a course so well put together ever...”
I had never participated before in an online course. The packaging, presentation, inclusion, and Facebook postings created a wonderful, safe cocoon within which to participate. I’ve never seen a course so well put together ever — not in all the years of taking college classes — and I had my doubts about doing an online course. The wealth of organization and ease of learning materials and support made this fun as well.
