Is it time to silence your alerts?

We have all experienced the thrill of having messages appear on your phone. Someone has sent you a new message on messenger, your birthday has come about and everyone that you have not heard from all year decides to wish you a happy birthday, your yoga app has a new update on the crow pose, and you can't wait to try it. Your day is full of sounds, little red icons, and vibrations. The summary of all these things happening to us daily is that we are being conditioned. Let me give you a little...

Finding peace and meaning in movement

Often time the great sages spoke about doing without doing, seeing without seeing and being without being. However, many times individuals will take that to heart and won't act or practice their forms as needed. The most prominent lesson here is that while stillness is the practice, there is always movement. Actual non-movement leads to rigor mortise in which no life escapes you. To pull that away from the superficial and ideological, I would like to begin with this question.

Can movement and...

What is your Nindo?

Hello dear members,

Today I was speaking with someone about joy and I thought that you would benefit from this thought, so here it comes. :)

We often get sucked in by the daily task and things that need to happen for survival. I mean, when was the last time you saw someone sat in traffic and smiling with extreme joy? It is a rare sight. In fact, you are more likely to see a dodo roaming around the side of the road than you are to find someone who is sat in bumper to bumper traffic just...

What does it mean to be mindful?

I have gotten this question about mindfulness many times, so I thought I would address it within a post. Mindfulness can come from many forms and many angles. Thus we must approach it for what it is in both foresight and hindsight. Mindfulness practice originated in the eastern orient traditions and was used to enhance the availability of sight within the environment to improve the presence of the person in whatever they were doing or not doing. That is why often if you refer to books written...

An Open Letter: Honoring Your Path

Hello everyone,

If you have followed me for any span of time, you would know that I have been on a journey of not only teaching but also self-discovery. It has not been easy, in fact at many points it was downright painful. I had initially thrown myself into the realm of academia and taught at the college level for a few years while I sorted things out mentally. I hired tons of coaches, mentors, trainers, masters and the like to see where or what may have triggered me to make the choices I...

Stagnation and disease: Part 3- The deep channels

 

In the following, I will discuss how I arrived at the practice of Qigong and why it changed the way I saw things in my life. It was not an instant miracle, but it did progressively get better. I will do my best to detail what was going on and how I began to overcome it.

Back in 2010, I remember waking up with what seemed to be a hangover. I can tell you that it was not a great sight as I was trying to find my way through the hallway, but I was running into things. What I didn't know at the...

Stagnation & Disease: Part 2- Stagnation Vortex

 

Hello again friends,
Today I would like to speak to you about stagnation and how it can be the unknown silent killer of your overall health.

Consider your body is a liquid life form exchanging fluids at every turn. It doesn’t matter if it is hormones, blood, lymph, neurological chemicals all while holding itself together. The human body is spectacular.

Understanding also that the body has over 600 muscles that work on train tracks called anatomy trains that dictate not only tensile...

Stagnation & Disease: Part 1- Hijacking

 

One of the biggest issues that cause disease in the body is that of stagnation. You see, stagnation can occur in two ways in your life.

It can go from macro to micro and also the inverse. That is why the thoughts you think, the people you keep and the food you eat all matter. It is triangular in nature, and it makes up a small map of us as humans.

Today I’d like, to begin with, a concept introduced in the book Psycho-Cybernetics known as limbic hijacking. In a world that...
