Graduates of the CSNA education program act as beacons of light in a world thirsty for reliable information, direction and leadership.

Courage, Honor & Integrity (CHI)
Courage is the state or quality of mind that enables one to face danger, overcome fear and not fold under pressure with confidence and bravery. Without courage one cannot apply wisdom or stand for justice. Honor is a code of dignity and pride. Honor is associated with a good name, respect and a reputation for uprightness of character. Integrity is congruence between what is said and what is done. It is reliability and moral soundness. Integrity is the state of being unimpaired and whole.
Chi
Chi (also qi or ch'i) pronounced "chee" is the energy that flows. Inherent Chi is the energy we receive from our parents at the time of conception. Acquired Chi is the energy accumulated by the quality of life we choose to lead and the food and air we ingest. In order to absorb and integrate the external universal energy we must learn to integrate and strengthen the fundamental life force within. Good health is learning to live and be in harmony with all aspects of our internal world so that we may be in balance and good relationship with all aspects of our external world.
