Life In Motion: The Art of Participation

A Field Book

Life has been moving through your ordinary days all along: the drive to work, the meal you eat standing up, the minutes spent waiting in line. Most of us just stopped noticing.

This Field Book isn’t a theory to learn. It’s a practice. Through simple, guided observations woven into everyday moments, it invites you to slow down, look around, and see what has always been there. The guidance thins out as you go, because the goal isn’t to follow instructions. It’s to trust your own perception.

Written by Armando Hart, a national champion sprinter who went on to coach youth, collegiate, professional, and Olympic athletes, this book carries what thirty years of coaching and lived experience have shown him. It asks nothing of you except attention. Bring a pen, an ordinary day, and a little curiosity.

Life is already moving. This is an invitation to take part.

Temazcal

A space of purification, prayer, reflection, release, and remembrance — tended together with my wife and son, with humility and respect for the traditions that continue to guide us. My wife and I were initiated by Temazcal leaders and entrusted to offer and facilitate the Temazcal ceremony. We carry that responsibility with deep respect for the ceremony, the traditions that have been shared with us, and the people who enter the Temazcal.

The Eight Conditions

Not eight new ideas to learn. Eight relationships already present in an ordinary life — in the body, in relationship, in the way we move through a day.

GravityTrust. Leaning into what you can’t fully see.
IntegrityWholeness. Arriving completely.
JoyVitality. The rhythm of being alive.
HarmonyRelationship. Nothing exists alone.
FreedomCompletion. Letting what’s moving keep moving.
NowPresence. Where power is available.
ActionParticipation made visible. Life moving once nothing is in the way.

Armando Hart

My name is Armando Hart. I am a first generation Mexican American born from Purepecha ancestry. My parents immigrated from La Angostura, Michoacán, carrying with them resilience, culture, sacrifice, and medicine.

My journey began through movement. I became a sprinter, represented Mexico internationally, competed at the highest levels of track and field, and later dedicated my life to coaching athletes from youth to Olympic and professional levels.

Over the years I realized that movement was always teaching something deeper than physical performance. It was teaching awareness. Presence. Integrity. Courage. Rhythm. Commitment. Breath. Relationship to self.

I simply carry my own medicine through lived experience, presence, and intention. My purpose is to hold space with integrity and share what has genuinely helped me reconnect to who I truly am.

Life In Motion… Go live it.
