Hybrid Vigor is a journey of Self-discovery the entire world can relate to. Using wild animals as inspiration, author teZa Lord introduces notable attributes of such animals as--Rat, Bee, Fish, Moth, Bear, Skunk, Pig--and mimics them to foster her own higher Self.
Dolphin shows joy and playfulness; Dog demonstrates Self Love; Heron shows helpful detachment; Turtle is all determination and tenacity; Snake sheds its skin and transforms itself; and Rooster plays the bandleader, the awakener, with his urgent Wake Up! call heard everywhere.
Just as Lord does, anyone can reverse what's off-balance. First within themSelf, then with our global blended family of humankind. Lord promises solutions. She envisions, and offers proof, of the current evolution of our species of homo sapiens that's happening right now.
Lord invites all to choose being an entirely new subspecies, the eponymous "Hybrid Vigor" she calls homo spiritus.

Narrator teZa Lord sets the stage that breath is the focus as she recounts what actually happened in this illustrated nonfiction narrative. A deadly force-4 hurricane's eye (of Charley, in 2004) is rampaging right toward the sequestered lives of stressed-out, extremely angry, over-crowded, incarcerated teenage girls. The story revolves around the inmates of ABG's (Academy of Bowling Green's) experiences, girls who've been sentenced to lengthy stays in jail for mental-health or drug-related repeat crimes. Set almost entirely in their remotely located facility in central Florida, Lord is compelled to reach out as a volunteer to teach these so-called "incorrigibles" after her own situation shifted negatively at home.
Taking her lifelong skills of practicing yoga and meditation, Lord introduces ancient spiritual techniques to gangsta-rap loving "bad-girls" in lockup, those who volunteer each week for the yoga class. "I do this because you're just like I was, once," teZa repeatedly says. On paper called Empowerment Classes for the sake of government funding, we witness how in Lord's classes, she demonstrates the cultivation of self-empowerment in this most unlikely place, a State-sponsored institution, with its dangerous, ambivalent-to-consciousness population.
"In the I" is a step-by-step exploration (each chapter diving into a different aspect) of expanded thinking: doing time doing yoga. "Miss T's yoga class" is where the girls learn they have (like everyone does) their own great source of inner power, their inner 'I'. The actual storm that Lord describes (Hurricane Charley) is a metaphor for the human condition of finding acceptance even in the middle of chaos and disappointment. Lord's work with hardcore repeat delinquents becomes a mirror of hope for all of today's angst-ridden society, many of whom are self-imprisoned by fear in a world filled with a barrage of very real conflicts.
