A Deep Journey Into Self-Awareness

The Tao is the foundation of all of our work at the SolePath Institute. The Foundation Program includes an introduction to the Tao and not only will you know more about yourself and how to navigate your light and dark, you will know how others find their way to their expanding energy, their soul purpose.

This program gives you an opportunity to explore metaphysical concepts; for you and your personal soul evolution; for your understanding of how others ‘tick’ and how best to communicate with them. 

The SolePath Foundation Program for certification is a combination of online learning through videos an ebook textbook; with 8 Zoom classroom sessions. 

You’ll journey through the vast experience and deep dive into self with Dr. Debra Ford in each of the 8 online modules with over 50 videos of content and understanding. 

Online classroom conversations are hosted by SolePath Instructors and attended by all other students enrolled in the SolePath Foundation Program, or programs that use the Foundations as a core understanding. These Zoom classroom sessions are priceless as they provide a forum for asking questions, sharing experiences and learning from others’ experiences. Online classroom conversations are scheduled every week at the same time.

Life is supposed to be fun and happy and I look forward to guiding you through this very joyful SolePath Foundation Program.

With love, Dr. Debra

What can I do with the SolePath Foundation Program?


The SolePath Foundation Program is considered to be the foundational understanding of all SolePath work. It is the bedrock that all other teachings and certifications stand on. Based on the Tao, these teachings have a deep resonance within each person. It is a journey of personal awareness that is incomparable to any other form of self-study.

This program gives you the insight and confidence to step into your life with an empowered understanding of who you are.

If you are studying the material solely for an understanding of self, you are a SolePath Scholar; you have taken the deep dive.

If you are studying the material for both the deep understanding of Self Scholar AND you have a desire to advance in study into other SolePath International Certification Programs, this is THE pre-requisite for all other study and certification. All other Certifications build on the SolePath Foundation Program.

The real purpose of this work is, You.

Dr. Debra Ford

Dr. Janice, one of our SolePath Instructors considers this work ‘to be in courtship with the Higher Self’, the a-Ha’s, insights and realizations just come flying at you through this discovery process.

Course and Curriculum Details

MODULE 1

The Tao and SolePath Categories

The Tao represents the fundamental nature of the Universe, the origin, the Creator. The Tao means your path or your life’s journey. The Tao is the understanding of life, an awareness of that which cannot be fully grasped, a belief in that which cannot be fully explained – but is known by the soul.

Each of the SolePath categories directly relates to a Trigram of the Tao. It shares the light and dark characteristics and intrinsically mirrors its energy. For example, Intellectuals are wind energy and just like wind are always moving and gentle, OR strong, unsettling and destructive. In another example, Compassionates are water energy and are fluid, flowing, reflective and still, OR overflowing and destructive.

MODULE 2

The Tao and the LightPaths

Your LightPaths are a place of expanding energy and show the gifts and greatness inherent within you. Your two LightPaths are who you are born to be and provide clues to your purpose. LightPaths are how you discover the ‘thing’ that you were born to do and have the life experience your soul intended.

When you live your life from your LightPath expansion you find joy, health, love, happiness and meaning. You also learn how you can be of service and make a difference in the world.

In this place of expansion, your LightPaths connect you with your wisdom or higher self; you put yourself in a position to hear the whispers of your soul and receive clear inspiration from your guides, your angels, your God.

MODULE 3

The Tao and the DarkPath

Your DarkPath is a place of collapsed energy and depicts the challenges that you are growing through in your life. 

Your DarkPath is mastered energy and is believed to have been completed in past life experience. You have lived your DarkPath in a different life and bring all of the skills of this path into this lifetime. Your DarkPath therefore feels easy to you, automatic, almost your deepest sub-conscious response, but it doesn’t have any of the excitement, joy and purpose of your LightPaths. Your DarkPath is therefore often more familiar than your LightPaths. 

Your DarkPath provides the choices that facilitate your soul’s evolution.

MODULE 4

The Tao and SoleNumbers

SoleNumbers answers the question “What am I doing here?”. It is your guide to purpose and an understanding of what you are meant to be doing with your life.

SoleNumbers helps you understand that there are two purposes for your life. Firstly, an inward purpose, an inward journey for your soul that relates to your own, unique and personal life experience.

Secondly, an outward purpose, an understanding of ‘what I am meant to be doing with my life’ and what the impact of that will be on others with whom you connect consciously and energetically.

MODULE 5

The Tao and SoleFaces

Your face provides the clues to the habits and behaviours that are holding you back from living in your greatness. Your face shows the blocks that stop you from being who you are born to be and what you are meant to be doing with your life.

Your face is your road map of your life experiences. Your face is the story of who you have been. Your face shows the impact of others in your life.

Your face is the truest indication of your limiting beliefs and behaviours that have brought you to this moment.

MODULE 6

The Tao and SoleHealing

Limiting beliefs are negative emotional energy and contribute to your collapsed energy. This leads to blocked energy body zones that are the source of your mental and physical dis-ease.

Revelation 1: “Within each person is a vibration that can be matched for perfect health.” Seth

Revelation 2: You can only heal your body when you are experiencing expanding energy.

Revelation 3: Negative emotion is the cause of your mental and physical dis-ease.

“A SoleHealing diagnosis identifies energetic blocks and provides direction for healing.” Seth. The SoleHealing diagnosis includes a three-part treatment plan for your health and healing. 

MODULE 7

The Tao and Emotional Divination

The purpose of this training module is to move you from dark to light; from collapsed negative energy to expanding positive energy. It is about finding your way in life, being happier and making a difference one person at a time. 

In this module you will learn about understanding your personal energy; understanding how your energy moves; when it changes and why this happens. 

Included is a simple four step process of emotional divination – a practical easy way to just feel happier, to find your way and make a difference. 

MODULE 8

The Tao and SoleIntending

A profoundly simple concept that connects the fundamental teachings of the Tao to a balanced intending process to create the life of your dreams. 

The Tao teaches connection, balance and flow and this simple, practical SoleIntending process helps you manifest your positive expanding life. This is a guided way that teaches how to write intentions and be in a state of mind and place of energy to bring your intentions into reality.
