A member writes that she is a bit overwhelmed by all the stuff on the internet she has to choose from. I know you have the same pulls on your time and attention that she does.

Where should you and she spend your time? 

 
Obviously, I teach people how to discern.
 

Here’s what I do and what I recommend to members and patients:

 
One) Recognize you can’t do it all or have it all. This is why you must learn to discern. 
 
Two) When I turned 50, I realized there were more things that I wanted to do in this life than I had time to do them. I was going to have to chooseYou will, too.
 
Three) Listen to where your heart calls you. Or you gut. Then go there.
 
Four) The big life coaching aphorism says – Do more of what works and less of what doesn’t. Listen to your heart and your body.  They will reliably let you know which is which.
 
Remember, if what you choose doesn’t work, you can change your mind.
 
You can use these four notions to separate the gold from the dross.
Clearly, you need to learn to discern. Your choices are only going to keep coming. And expanding. I read a whole book on the problem of too many choices — The Paradox of Choice: Why More Is Less. I recommend it.
 
I recommend people go for what has depth, heart, substance, and long lasting magic.
 
 
Two More Ideas –
 
One) Rely on my research staff to sort for you. They bring me all the great stuff. I test it on myself in my life. Then I offer it to patients and members. This stuff has been sorted and tested. It works.
 
Two) Get and use the programs I offer at Body & Soul Mentor. They help you to find what has depth, heart, substance, and long lasting magic. 
 
The most important of these is the Get Wealthy First Program. This amazing program helps you to gather, first thing, each day, the Deep Wealth of what has depth, heart, substance, and long lasting magic. 
 
In fact the whole site does that.
 
Consider joining. You can read more here => Body & Soul Mentor
 
Listen and discern.
 
Blessings,
 
William

Did speed skating Olympian, Apolo Ohno, use my program to train?

Did speed skating Olympian, Apolo  Ohno, use my Get Wealthy First Program to train? After all, he just lives 20 minutes down the road from me.  It would have been possible. 

In this wonderful, six minute, behind the scenes video of his training, the charismatic Apolo talks about many of the things I share with you in your newsletters. 

His conversation on presence is wonderful…  And how to BURN FAT… 

Watch the video and his training.  Let him inspire you.

Magical Experience — Feel It For Yourself

The first time I tried this, I bounced around and exclaimed, “It’s SO cool!”

When you perform this easy and revealing experiment, you can look directly into the eyes of your nervous system… it’s so cool.

And you will see and feel the subtle power of our interconnected system for yourself.  From this insight and direct experience, you will see why and how the subtle work with the CranialSacral system is so effective and so potent.

The Experiment

This all comes from Dr. Hugh Milne, one of my CranialSacral instructors.

Stand very peacefully. Take a few deep breaths and allow calmness to settle on you, entering alpha wave – the brain rhythm associated with wakeful relaxation. Focus your awareness on your feet. 

Turn your head to look to your left, and notice whether your weight distribution changes on either of your feet. Follow with a rotation of your head to the right, then come back to center and take a couple more relaxing breaths.

Now rotate your jaw – only your jaw -to the left, being aware of the effect on your feet; repeat to the right side. Come back to center and pause.

Now move only your eyes to the left, noticing again how the weight distribution on your feet changes, then move your eyes to the right. Notice which direction causes the most weight transfer on to which part of which foot.

This exercise demonstrates an interconnectedness in movement that has its roots in our savanna-living hominid ancestors of five million years ago. For them, it was a matter of life or death that these movements were synchronous: head turning, eyes seeing, jaw prepared to bite – all with feet poised for fight or flight in the millisecond it would take to wheel their wiry bodies around if startled by a noise to the rear.

The eyes and neck are deeply connected: the main evolutionary reason for the existence of the neck is to give our eyes greater scope. All but one of the muscles that move the eyes attach to the sphenoid, the central bone of the cranium. As the eyes begin to move, the sphenoid and the whole body begin to respond.

As an example, we prognate (jut) our jaw when we are threatened or become aggressive, and the powerful muscle with which we do this originates from the sphenoid.

So, what did you feel?  Pretty cool, eh?  Leave your comments below.

So This Zen Guy Says

 So, this Zen priest, no, better, the abbot of the Zen temple says to me, “William, why don’t you give your Beat the Flu program away?” (The Be Well Get Well Stay Well Program.) 

“Genjo,” I whined, “I put tons of hours into that program.  It’s precious stuff, hard won knowledge… stuff I learned – no kidding – over 40 years of working with natural healing and helping people”

 He smiled.

I grumbled.

OK. I decided to do him one better… 

My joy is in writing and producing Life Giving Manuals and programs that help people live a life they love wholeheartedly – body and soul.  I could make this simple for you and for me.  Here’s what I decided.

Go See Avatar, in 3D

A love story grows under impossible odds, good guys, greedy exploiters, and genocidal bad guys, battle.  Filled with archetypes and beautiful to look at, I recommend you see the film — Avatar. And see it in the 3D or Imax 3D if it comes to your city. It’s a  technical wonder and deepens your immersion in this wondrous world.

James Cameron writer and director of Aliens, TerminatorTerminator 2, The Abyss, and Titanic gives us his best film ever. 

First, here are the three definitions of avatar. 

  1.  an incarnation of a Hindu deity in human or animal form, especially one of the incarnations of Vishnu such as Rama and Krishna
  2.  a character or persona of a player with a graphical representation
  3.  an electronic image that represents and is manipulated by a computer user (as in a computer game).

 I grew up knowing the first one, but most of the movie going audience is only aware of the latter two… and I am only vaguely familiar with those.  You can bet Cameron is aware of all three and chose the title accordingly.

Keep the first definition in mind when you watch Avatar.

You can watch the trailer here –

     =>http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0499549/

 Note: Minor spoilers below.

 Archetypal Stories

When you watch the film, you will be deeply engaged in several archetypal stories, much like the StarWars films.

The romance is Romeo and Juliet.  This ends better.

My favorite archetypal story is the young marine who goes native.  He falls in love with the planet and it’s people he is tasked to exploit.  And specifically, he falls in love with the princess.

Like all fairy tales and archetypes, this sound trivial in the mere naming, but I assure you in the story, it touches your soul.

It also puts me in mind of the 1990 film Dances with Wolves, which has a warrior, the Civil War hero, played by Costner, going native.  Avatar ends on a more hopeful note than Dances with Wolves.  I recommend you see it again.

The Gaia theory, the notion of viewing the Earth as a single conscious organism, is never stated by Cameron, but lovingly illustrated, is at the core of the film.  (Gaia theory is named after the Greek goddess of Earth.)

Avatar comes at a crucial time for us humans as we race towards an uncertain future with global climate change.  The film may help us to wake up and act with love for our relationship to Earth. 

If the gung-ho marine can turn native, then surely we can to.

As a side light, it will make you want to be fit.  And did I tell you about the dragons that they ride?  The movie is fun.  And inspiring.  And at 178 minutes way too short.

Blessings,

William

Magically Improved Water

Here’s a seasonal tip for you – a way to improve your water so you can drink more and remove any stagnation so you can stay healthy.  Cool!

Naturally, it’s part of the Get Well Be Well, Stay Well Program.  You can find out more here

=> http://BodyAndSoulMentor.net/BeWell

This comes from Kathy Rossol who contributes to the Open Doorway Reading Room section of the site.

My naturopathic doctor recommended an alternative drink to plain water, especially good when you’re fighting a cold or other respiratory bug. Cut a couple of lemon slices and throw into a mug. Roughly chop or slice fresh peeled ginger root, about 1 tsp. worth (more or less depending upon your spice preference) and add to mug. Pour boiling water over all to fill mug. You can add some honey if you have a sore throat or just need the energy. You can also squeeze in more lemon juice if you like the tart. Adjust quantities to match your taste. Try using lime slices for a milder citrus flavor.

My sister, a biodynamic ginger farmer in Hawaii, swears by ginger as a great cure-all, and it warms you right up when you’re feeling chilly.

Laugh Out Loud Books Touch Your Soul

 

While on our road trip to the Monterey Peninsula gathering deep wealth, we listened to two books on tape — Blessed are the Cheesemakers (our second time through this one) and Drums, Girls and Dangerous Pie.  Each has the remarkable quality of being laugh out loud humorous and has the ability to touch your soul deeply.

 

Kathy Rossol of Open Doorways Reading Room introduced me to each so I asked her to write a review.  Open Doorways Reading Room is an afterschool, community-based program in SE King County, WA,  where young people can listen to good reads and explore books not only as good entertainment, but as catalysts for new ideas and perspectives that may enrich their lives and open doors to the world beyond their own neighborhoods.

 

 

As usual, when you buy these books from these Amazon links, the commissions go to help kids.

 

Here Are Kathy’s Reviews –

Blessed Are the Cheesemakers by Sarah-Kate Lynch

Take one burned-out, alcoholic New York stockbroker, two quirky Irish cheesemakers, five vegetarian, singing dairymaids (who all happen to be pregnant) and add a heart-broken, lost soul named Abby. Mix well on a dairy farm in Kilarney, Ireland. Result – a deeply satisfying, unexpected tale of coincidences, second chances, human kindness and love. For a special treat, listen to the audiobook version – it is a riot!

 Drums, Girls, And Dangerous Pie by Jordan Sonnenblick

Steven Alper is your typical 13-year old middle school kid – slightly geeky, passionate about drums, out of his depth with girls, and tolerant (on a good day) of his 5-year old brother, Jeffrey.  His life is turned upside down when Jeffrey is whisked off to the emergency room one morning with a horrendous nosebleed only to return home with an even more horrendous diagnosis of acute leukemia. Sonnenblick does an excellent job of balancing drama with humor and extraordinary events with the everyday trials and tribulations of an 8th grade boy.
