No. 1 Thing for Your Health?

This beautifully crafted, nine minute, animated video asks the question:  “What is the single best thing we can do for our health.” 

I bet you can guess what it is.

I love the drawings of this animated video.  You get to watch a quick hand draw illuminations to complement the voice.  

Stay for the lovely quote at the end from Jerry Garcia, lead singer of the Grateful Dead. 

Dr. Mike Evans, founder of the Health Design Lab at the Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute, presents ideas that you’ll enjoy watching because of the drawing and his kind voice. 

   

 

Save a Life 

CPR saves lives, right?  Well, in the decades since they invented CPR, the docs learned some things.   

You’ll enjoy the simplicity of the updated version as demonstrated by British tough guy, Vinnie Jones. 

Even if you don’t care to save lives – it’s a hoot.

And do note the thugs, his partners, in the background.   

I’m a fan of his films.  Of course.   

My favorite is Snatch.  Be warned – violent and humorous.

Walk in beauty,

William

What Good Is Presence?

First Things First 

Creative Problem Solving, my new book, shows you how to harness the miraculous benefits of Presence.  To do that we use an ancient American Indian method called Owl Eyes to trigger your nervous system in such a way that you instantly produce the quickest and deepest connection to Presence.   

You can get Creative Problem Solving on my Amazon Author’s page as a Kindle book now 

=> http://amzn.to/vXKNbC 

If you have or get a membership, you can get the PDF format as part of your membership at no extra charge.

What Good Is Presence? 

“What’s it good for?” you puzzle. 

“You mean besides feeling bliss and touching heaven?” I respond.  “This material does have a practical benefit and that’s what you and I will aim for.”   

These strategies in Creative Problem Solving: How to Solve Problems and Make Critical Decisions by Connecting to the Transcendent Present Moment will directly and potently –  

  • Turbocharge your problem solving abilities. 
  • Enhance your problem solving skills.  Take them to a new realm of success. 
  • Help you to make the right decisions. 
  • Profoundly develops your creative mind. 
  • Move your creative thinking to a new dimension. 
  • Help you to access your native genius to make critical decisions.  
  • Align your heart’s and your soul’s path with the Sacred. 
  • Bring a serenity and fullness to your life that you may have felt was missing. 

 

Your life will work better and because it’s in harmony with the Sacred, it will flow smoothly.  In short, you will be happier.  

Your Life Path – Envisioning Your Calling 

When you’re stuck and don’t know where to go with your life, you can use these methods to provide the most profound way to envision your life path and set your direction.  

These methods you are about to master will profoundly change your life in part because you learn to align with your life vision.  You align with your calling.  It belongs to you as your birthright.   

This method you are about to master will profoundly change your life.  It belongs to you as your birthright.  Your nervous system comes designed and prepared for this experience.  Even if you don’t believe you can master this, you can. 

When you immerse yourself in stillness, you will feel connected to everything you see.  You will touch the very fabric of life and you will participate in its unfolding, moment to moment.  If this sounds fantastic or unbelievable, I invite you to apply the methods that follow.  You will find yourself walking the streets of Heaven.  

Can you imagine a more creative place to be than where the universe births itself right in front of you?  All truly creative acts and inspirations come from stillness, even if the artist doesn’t know it. 

Poets describe this Heaven in different ways.  I will let William Blake’s poem speak for us all.

 

To see a world in a grain of sand

And a heaven in a wild flower,

Hold infinity in the palm of your hand

And eternity in an hour. 

Blake clearly points to the territory.  

It feels good to be in this place.  

Each time I practice Owl Eyes, it feels like coming home.   

Is the world more than an inactive, stagnant lump?  Can you imagine the world creating itself, moment to moment?  Cool, huh.  I know.  But that’s what the saints have always said.  Today’s quantum physics demonstrates this in the labs. 

Owl Eyes lets you perceive this directly, at least in small glimpses.  Some report rather spectacular direct perceptions of galactic phenomena.   

Owl Eyes enables you to access the creative heart of the universe.  Who knows how this method will bless you? 

The methods I lay out in Creative Problem Solving will change your life if you persist and if you ask the useful questions.  Even if you don’t use the methods and just use Owl Eyes, your life will change for the better.   

You will inherit the Kingdom of God.  No kidding.

 

Magical Mind Mapping 

People have successfully used Mind mapping, a complete do-it-yourself brain storming method, for years.  When you combine the power of mind mapping, with Owl Eyes, you go to another level of potency.   

And you’ll learn to do just that in one of the four methods you’ll find in Creative Problem Solving. 

You’ll love it. 

Get the book.  Surprise yourself with your genius.  Enjoy your breakthroughs. 

Again…

What Do I Want for My Daughters?

“What does a life coach most want for his daughters?”  I asked myself.

“He wants them to know how to live life to the fullest.  He wants them to know how to live a happy life.  He wants them to live a life they want.

“He wants them to have the skills to achieve happiness and the ability to live a happy life — a life they love wholeheartedly.”

Naturally, I want these same things for the people I coach.  I want these for you.

Here, Look at the Eight Secrets:

* Secret One: What’s the Single, Best, Most Potent, Easiest Strategy for Improving Your Life?

* Secret Two: Fear Is the Misuse of Imagination

* Secret Three: How to Bust Through Your Limitations

* Secret Four: What Is a Boundary?

* Secret Five: Do You Want a Short Cut to Living Happy, Courageous and Free?

* Secret Six: The Room of 1,000 Demons

* Secret Seven:  I Reveal the Secret for Accomplishing Anything? It’s not Pretty.

* Secret Eight:  What’s the Secret to Long Term Success in Every Area of Your Life?

People are scared.  So, three of the secrets help you overcome fear.  Other secrets show you how to have long-term success in your relationships and in your work.
The Secret Four on boundaries insures you stay safe and sane at work and in relationships.  This one alone will cure most of the life’s ills.

The most compassionate people also have the best boundaries.  When you gain healthy boundaries, you have more compassion.  More compassion means you’re happier because you feel love in your life.

Combined, the eight secrets work together to help you live a life you love.
I have just published The Eight Fundamental Secrets as a Kindle version.

One Way You Can Stop Seasonal Craziness

Solstice pushes my craziness.  It’s like a giant full moon for me.  Dreams that make me shiver. 

Then add in the various holidays, and I get a bit nuts.  How about you? 

Here’s one simple way to be less crazy.  Clean up your clutter.   

At our home, there seems to be more of it during this season.  Or I have less mental and emotional room for it.  When I get overloaded in one area, it makes all areas a bit more dodgy. 

I can’t make the holidays go away.  I can’t make solstice go away.  I can clear my clutter.   

The good news is that’s enough. 

Traditionally, I get out Christmas toys and place them on the breakfast bar.  As I eat breakfast Today, I see one wild boar, one owl, a pig with two suckling piglets, two wrestling sumos salt and pepper shakers with a magnetic bellies, four sheep, three burros, three rhinoceros (how did we get three?), a zebra, a hippo, a bear, and one dog, all of different styles and sizes and colors. 

The dining room table has library books and DVDs stacked.  This is usual for us, but too much with all the other clutter and pressure of the season. 

Christmas cards displayed everywhere. 

You get the idea. 

 

Here’s a Tip from Timmy P  

A fast treatment for clutter – stack things and square the edges.  Your eye will rest.  You will rest.  So as soon as I’m done writing to you, I’ll go square some edges.  Starting with the books and DVDs. 

Then my art table.

 

Tip Two 

Go outdoors.  It is always perfectly disordered.  Never cluttered.  Always at peace.  Ah… 

Remember: There is no such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate clothing.

 

 Tip Three 

Get my Kindle book – Clutter Kills: How to Declutter and Release Your Power.It’s on sale now for only $2.99 until January 6th 2012. 

The Promise Of Clutter Kills –

Clutter Kills: How to Declutter and Release Your Power delivers a simple, magical method for decluttering, for clearing clutter. As you clear your clutter, your mind clears and your misallocated energy resources become available to you again.

This enables your creativity to flow and your revitalized energy to flow beautifully into making a life you love wholeheartedly – body and soul.

The methods employed in Clutter Kills: How to Declutter and Release Your Power work. You will even find them fun.

When you employ them, you’ll regain lost energy. You’ll feel more balanced. You’ll feel more on target and more productive. In short, you’ll feel happier.

Multitasking Crashes Your Brain

Research confirms what you already know. Multitasking doesn’t work to save time and it makes you feel even more frantic. 

It doesn’t make you more efficient. 

You don’t get more done.

And, just between us two, it stresses you out. Multitasking blocks your way to living a life you love, don’t you think? 

 

Here’s the Research  

The brain needs to attend to one task at a time.

Surprisingly, when measuring neural activity with people doing two tasks at once, the neural activity decreased instead of what you might think. You might think your brain would be processing twice as much. Instead your brain bogs down – it crashes.

Some studies indicate it takes up to 50% longer to do two tasks at once vs. doing the same tasks one at a time.

It turns out that the brain isn’t really processing multiple tasks at once but rapidly shifting back and forth between them. It’s inefficient and inelegant. 

Think of someone doing Taiji – they’re doing one thing and one thing only. It’s peaceful and elegant. It is so peaceful that just watching it makes you feel better. Doing Taiji is even better.

Quiz: Is the person doing Taiji in the present moment? 

 

Being Present  

Being in the moment is where you’ll find heaven. For millennia, spiritual teachers have advocated any practice that helps you to be in the moment, right. 

I clearly value being present. To that end, I have books, programs, and manuals for you at Body & Soul Mentor that teach ways for you to do this. Obviously, being present is good for you. Learning how to be present and designing your life so you have more presence is at the heart of living a life you love wholeheartedly. Don’t you agree?

Being present is at the heart to living in flow. 

Obviously, multitasking kills presence. And kills your life. 

 

Rx: Learn to Be Present 

When you find yourself doing too many things at once, stop. Just stop.

Take a deep breath. 

Take another. This time feel your breath. Feel your belly rise and fall.

While still noticing your breath, slip into owl eyes. Or just look around you. 

See what’s there in front of you in this moment. Look without judging or commenting to yourself. Just look. Take it in.

Now, notice the sounds all around you. They too are in this moment. And now that you’re noticing, so are you.

OK?

Now, pick one thing to do and do it as if you had all the time in the world. Do it as if it mattered. Do it as if you were performing it for someone you love. 

 

There is no-where to go. 

And no-thing to do.  

 

When you stop multitasking, you become more efficient and more peaceful. You become happier. This peace and happiness ripples through the entire world and helps everyone else. 

You know this to be true because certainly you have been on the receiving end of this phenomenon.

Go forth; spread peace and grace.

How to Be a Successful Entrepreneur

Remember when I said, “Don’t get The Wholesome Entrepreneur: How to be a Successful Entrepreneur yet”?

Well here’s why…

In this season of Thanksgiving, here’s another “THANK YOU” for being a reader.

From now, the day after Thanksgiving, to Epiphany, January 6th my Kindle books will be marked down to as low as Amazon will let me — $2.99.  

Go to my Amazon author page to find the ones you want.

http://amzn.to/vXKNbC 

Epiphany, also known as twelfth night, commemorates the pilgrimage of the three wise men, wizards, and their visit to new-born Jesus.

These three wise men have been long standing heroes of mine.  I have enjoyed lovely images of their travel across the desert following the star of wonder for as long as I can remember.

The mystery of their journey has fueled my enduring love of pilgrimage and the sacred.

What star would you follow?

So, it’s a good season to celebrate wisdom and gratitude.

I thank you for your wisdom and I hope to add to it with these offerings.

Go for it = > http://amzn.to/vXKNbC

Walk in beauty this season and be mightily blessed,

William

Weiqi? Say What?

Weiqi? Say What, William?  

Weiqi or Wei Chi (pronounced way chi) can be translated as your vital natural energy defenses. 

My computer defenses failed and a pernicious villain breached my virus software. After days of trying to get rid of it, I am doing a clean install.  This is a great process where one removes everything from the hard drive. 

So what? 

Don’t let your body’s defenses get low.  I’ll show you what you can do in a moment.

Don’t Do This 

Just like you want to keep your virus software up-to-date, don’t let your take-care-of-yourself practices slip.  

 

Do This 

Rule of Thumb: 

When you’re under stress, do more to take care of yourself rather than less. 

OK? 

I recommend that you beef up your defenses with How to Get Well, Be Well, Stay Well Program.  You’ll find details HERE. (Members of Body & Soul Mentor can get it in the members Mentoring Programs section.) 

One of the sections talks about hitting yourself.  Do that.  It is how you build the Weiqi excellently.   

Again, weiqi is your vital energy, life force, that takes care of your immunity to punches and to falls and to disease. 

My first Taiji teacher talked about Iron Shirt Qigong.  You start with gently hitting yourself, then move to harder hitting, then to bamboo sections, then iron rods… 

This process will make you powerful in the martial arts, impermeable to injury and pain. 

It’s useful, but a strong immune system is more practical for most of us.  

Here’s a quote. 

The Iron Shirt Chi Kong set can build up Wei chi. When one’s Wei chi is strong, the practitioner will not get injured easily. Also, training in this set can strengthen one’s immune system. Its benefits are known to include weight loss, increased energy, increased appetite, helping insomnia, as well as warding off disease. As a result, many people who are not martial artists, still train in Iron Shirt Chi Kong.

So as we move into the dark season, hit yourself.  Often.   

Just make a soft fist and hit or drum your body all over.  As you progress you can hit harder, but mostly it’s your intention to strength you Weiqi that does the work. 

Use your imagination to visualize your immune system strong and potent like wearing an iron shirt.  Or a Kevlar one. 

When you get How to Get Well, Be Well, Stay Well Program, watch the video in the program for how you harness the hitting to the acupuncture meridians.  It’s easy and fun. 

And way powerful. 

Here’s where you can get the How to Get Well, Be Well, Stay Well Program.  

Go for it. Get Well. Stay Well 

Walk in beauty, 

William

Top 10 Children’s Books

One of my beloved clients who is also a colleague asked me, “What are William’s top ten favorite children’s books.” 

Why?  Because we were having a conversation about how difficult the holidays can be for people. 

I told her that I read books to my inner child.  I had a wonderful collection of excellent ones.  These are all picture books.  Many are award winners. 

Many of these make me laugh, some make me cry.  They all heal my inner child and make the dark season deeper and more lovely. 

May these bless you as well.  And the children in your life.  All of these make great gifts.  Most of these came to me as gifts. 

Not it any particular order. 

The Donkey’s Dream

Where the Wild Things Are (Of course.)

Tear Soup

The Wreck of the Zephyr

Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening

Grandfather Twilight [GRANDFATHER TWILIGHT] [Hardcover]

The Polar Express (The Polar Express Twentieth Anniversary Edition )

Animalia

Tuesday (I read this one sitting at a tiny table in the children’s section of the famous, Powell’s in Portland, OR  and laughed so much I was almost embarrassed.)

The Painter and the Wild Swans (Picture Puffin) (This is out of print but still available.  Check your library, too.)

Walk in beauty, 

William 

P.S. Pass these on to all the children you want to bless.

Lose Weight and Have More Energy

My beloved naturopath, Amy Hobson, told me about these medical school classmates, Jade and Keoni Teta.  They started training people in fitness while still high school students.  Then they both went on to study microbiology or the like.  After that, they looked around for a medical school that aligned with their research and their experience in training folks.   

They landed at John Bastyr Naturopathic College.   

I like these guys and their book — The New ME Diet: Eat More, Work Out Less, and Actually Lose Weight While You Rest 

Watch these Youtube Videos 

The New ME Diet lectures part 1 – 3

  3. http://www.youtube.com/user/metaboliceffect#p/u/38/lTC3m5YYbgU

Another one I found very useful for losing fat specifically.  Working with the carbohydrate tipping point below helps me to burn fat and still have enough energy for my vigorous workouts.  And life.
