Blue Cliff Record Case # 94 —Dongshan is well.
Dongshan was ill. A student asked, “You’re unwell. Is there someone, after all, who isn’t sick?” Dongshan said, “There is.” “Does the one who isn’t sick take care of you?” continued the student; “I’m actually taking care of that one.” Dongshan observed. “What’s it like when you take care of that one?” continued the student. “Then I don’t see that there is illness,” Dongshan replied.

Everyone these days, it seems, is overly busy. Some even call it a malady, because “busy-ness” can be closely linked with overload, fatigue, burnout, and depression.
5M2R is designed with busy people in mind. It accepts busy-ness as a way of living, but offers a path to having better balance.
What if you can continue to be busy – if you like being busy – but there is a way not to sacrifice what is really precious in life – what matters most? We have designed 5M2R to dovetail effortlessly with your busy schedule.
OVER TIME
You can spread exploring the 5M2R modules over many weeks and months. Each 52MR practice takes about five minutes – to listen to the audios, ponder the material, explore the questions and prepare for action.
ON-DEMAND
Many of us want help with specific pressing resilience issues. 5M2R will recommend the most effective and responsive modules on-demand. Learning and developing personal resilience is a very personal journey.
IN STANDARD SEQUENCE
5M2R follows a natural sequence to learn Integral Resilience, where each module builds upon the ones before.
LEVERAGE TIME
Surprisingly, practicing 5M2R augments time. Small spaces open and create opportunities; our priorities shift, and we can accomplish far more with less effort.
AN EMPOWERING SKILL
Building Integral Resilience offers powerful leverage for busy people in another way: it is a foundational skill that underlies and empowers all other positive behaviors.
REAL OUTCOMES
There is increasing scientific evidence that life-affirming “positive” behaviors have beneficial effects on a large spectrum of human challenges, including recovering from trauma, managing chronic illnesses, building adaptive vitality, and even longevity. Integral resilience is a foundation for addressing all of these life challenges.
COMPOUNDING VALUE
We call this the “Resilient Multiplier Effect.” In business terms, making a modest investment of your time in cultivating Integral Resilience can yield benefit streams lasting a lifetime.
LIFE SUSTAINING
Resilience can be maintained, even enhanced, well into advanced age – a NASA’s core finding.
HEALTH FORTIFYING
Fortifies behavioral changes that support best medical protocols for a wide spectrum of health challenges, including health literacy, obesity, diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases, hypertension, and pain management.
RESOLVING & RECOVERING
Provides an effective and measurable antidote to burnout, loneliness, and depression.
