Interview Reveals Surprising Secrets

In this 22 minute interview with Krysta Gibson, publisher of New Spirit Journal, you can listen in while Krysta asks me questions that get me to reveal the secret of how I moved from the  extremely linear left-brain activity – Engineering and Applied Physics at Harvard — to engaging in exotic, highly intuitive right-brained BodyTherapies and Life Coaching.

You’ll hear me reveal the secrets of enjoying Heaven on Earth.  You can listen to us explore the benefits of your having a practice to make it all happen.

You can hear about your brain coiling and uncoiling… your skull moving like it was breathing… discover the magic of CranialSacral Therapy.

You can listen to it HERE.

 Blessings,

William

PS Pass this along to anyone you think would benefit.

The Sky Is Falling?

Do you remember the story?  An acorn falls and bops Chicken
Little on the head.  She panics and dashes around shouting,
“The sky is falling!  The sky is falling!  The sky is
falling!”  She vows to tell the king and sets off on her
journey.

One after the other, she convinces her friends that the sky
is falling.   She tells them she has evidence that she has
heard with her own ears and seen with her own eyes and even
a bit of sky hit her in the head.   And off they go to see
the king who will certainly help them.  Along the way they
meet Foxy Loxy who offered to show them the way to the
king…

He showed them into his den and ate them all up.

In times of scary news reports, what do you do?

I rely on clear headed friends and mentors who show me the
BIG picture.  I want a perspective that lets me see a
bigger, longer term picture clearly.  In the financial
crisis of 2008, when the news was screaming, “The sky is
falling!”  The CEO of Vanguard Funds did just that in a
little video. 

He showed a graph of the single day loss of 20% that
occurred back in 1987 (I think).  Can you imagine?  It’s a
terrifying downward spike.  Then he pulls back and shows
the BIG picture.  You can hardly see a blip on the graph.
The sky didn’t fall.

You can have a life you wholeheartedly love – body and soul.  Really.

I can help you.

Become a member of Body & Soul Mentor the next time I open
the doors for $9.97/month.  You can get on the
no-obligation waiting list and get a cool podcast that will
remind you of what’s truly important.

The Journey Begins

The Journey Begins

The doors are closed to new members on Body and Soul Mentor
web site.

Woof!

Now I’m into the huge, Humongous UPGRADE.  Double woof!  I
have tons of work to do.
OPENING THE DOORS

I’ll be opening doors for new members for one week
starting, 6:00 AM PDT July 24th. 

I will close them on Midnight August 1st 2008 EDT.

HEADS UP:

I will close the doors when I have 200 new members if that
happens before the August 1st cut off. 

And I reserve the right to close the doors for any reason
that I can’t foresee now.

Why the limit of only 200 new members?  I am only one guy
here in Seattle maintaining a private practice, running a
real life, and I want to be sure I can truly help the
members and not be overwhelmed.  I won’t reopen the site to
new members for at least a month or two after we see how it
goes.

Fair enough?
HERE ARE THE GOODIES YOU’LL GET

I have great plans, and I’m sure more will be added as
members make suggestions.

Here are the goodies I know you’ll get.

ONE

I’ll be adding podcasts on a regular basis that you can
download and listen to in your car or while you’re doing
the laundry and such.  Or listen to on your computer. 
These will mostly be revealing conversations with amazing
people on the journey, too.

You will be amazed who I know.  One friend said about me,
“He talks to giants.”  I humbly submit, it’s true.

The first one is with Beverly Cook about her pilgrimage to
the holy route in Spain.  See below for how to get it
today.
TWO

I’ll be adding videos, because some things are much better
explained with pictures.  You’re smart so you know this.

Have you ever said, “Hey, let me just show you… It will be
faster.”

I have. 

Now, I can just show you.  I’ve mastered the Flip Ultra
video camera which makes it a snap.

The one for how to stop headaches is quite useful.  One
viewer with a headache saw it, applied it, and Poof no more
headache.  Too cool!

You’ll be delighted with the usefulness of these videos.

Oh, and they’re short. The headache one is 1:21 minutes. 
This helps me to honor the 17 minutes a day promise, right?

“Give me seventeen minutes a day, and I’ll show you how you
can get a life you love – Body & Soul — or your money
back.”
THREE

All my books, manuals, and Laser Focused reports will be
free to members.  YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS THIS ONE.

IF YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW TO BECOME A MEMBER

Since everything on my site relates to being on a quest, a
hero’s journey, a heroine’s journey, what better
introduction than to listen to a conversation with Beverly
Cook, LMP,  a real heroine on a real journey.

Get on this waiting list. I won’t obligate you to joining,
just keep you informed.

When you get my Conversation with Beverly podcast, I’ll
keep you up to date on how you can get access to the
goodies by join the membership of heroes and heroines on
the journey. 

People who were present at the conversation with Bev were
blown away, inspired, and moved.

What is the value of pilgrimage in your quest for the
sacred in your life?

You get to listen to Beverly and me talk about her recently
completed Camino pilgrimage, the ancient pilgrim route in
northern Spain known as El Camino de Santiago.

By the way, this podcast is a good example of what you’ll
find on the web site every day for free, exclusively to
members.

It’s free.

Go for it

What Was Revealed – 100 Day Practice

This isn’t the most powerful question in the world –

Is today a good day to die?

This is –

Is today a good day for Suzanne to die?

Holy Poop!  If I have any doubt about the nature of life
and death, this question will flush it out.  If I have any
doubt who my wife, Suzanne, truly is, this question will
slap me awake.
A Refresher –

My friend and colleague, Kim Ivy challenged me and her
students with maintaining a practice for 100 days.  It’s a
traditional Taoist idea. 

I took it on. 
My Practice

My practice was to show up every morning at the beach on
Lake Washington or on the Salish Sea, practice Taiji (Tai
Chi) or something similar in order to be present enough to
be able to say wholeheartedly, “Today is a good day to
die!”

In order to be able to say that wholeheartedly, you have to
be present.  No mind chatter.  The grasping, clinging ego
never thinks it’s a good day to die.  When you’re present,
the ego is gone.  You are free to say, “Today is a good day
to die!”

My beloved Zen teacher, Genjo, said, “That’s all well and
good William, but how about a good day for Suzanne to die?

“#@$%** you and the horse you came in on,” I said.

Genjo just laughed, of course.

I found this second question – Is today a good day for
Suzanne to die? – most revealing.  If you ask my ego, there
is never a good day for Suzanne to die.

You may have guessed that someday it will be the day that
Suzanne dies.  I may be lucky enough to be there.  We have
been married for nearly four decades.  We’re likely to be
married until death do us part.  So this practice has a
point to it, doesn’t it.

In order to say – Today is a good day for Suzanne to die –
wholeheartedly, I have to be deeply present.  I have to
know who she is at the deepest levels.

I showed up every day for the 100 days just like the US
mail – through rain, wind, cold.  Some days were a tad
sloppy, others fully transcendent as you might expect.

One day slipped my mind completely due to a change in
routine.
The Surprises I Discovered

At some point, moving through my morning forms, I would
open to the vast magic of life unfolding in the present
moment, and I would find Suzanne right there, in the
infinite moment. 

One day she was in the curvature of the earth.   Another in
the Lombardy poplar, another in the cherry blossoms.  Each
day she appeared.  Each day she appeared in a different
guise.  Obviously on each day, I could say, “Today is a
good day for Suzanne to die.”

Blessings,

William

P.S. You can Learn ‘Secrets’ that Most People Will Never
Know About How to Really Benefit from the Vibrantly Potent,
Martial Art Form of Standing Meditation…

Give us 35 minutes listening to this playfully powerful
conversation, and we, William Wittmann and Kim Ivy

standing meditation.

“This is fun. This is easy. This is hot.”

Magic with Oprah and Eckhart Tolle

I struggle with my own craziness all the time.  When I’m
crazy, I am living inside of my mind listening to a
strident voice harangue over a tinny radio urging me to
blame my closest friends and my wife for my troubles.

If I take the time to get present — and I know lots of
ways to do that – I return to a connection with the Present
and Presence.  I become sane.  I am happy and serene.

Eckhart Tolle who penned the best seller The Power of Now
wrote a follow up book – A New Earth.  He is teaming up
with Oprah to bring you live webcasts to talk about this
stuff.  Watch them or download them as podcasts.  Cost =
$0.0.

http://www.oprah.com/obc_classic/webevent_registration.html
I recommend you watch at least one to get a deeper feel for
who these folks are.  Then you can podcast if you want.

You’ll have to register at Oprah’s and download a special
viewer before you can watch these.  And there are ads.  No
sweat, it’s easy.

It will be worth it, I promise.

Blessings,

William

P.S. Simply Serene – Four Amazingly Powerful Ways to Be
Instantly Alert and at Peace will serve you well if you
want some guaranteed ways to become present.  I talk about
the famous Owl Eyes in depth in this book.

Good Day to Die – 100 Day Challenge — Update

Good Day to Die – 100 Day Challenge

Two events on my way to 100 days.

One – a dawn so brilliant and soft, the challenge was too
easy.  It was hard to take it seriously.  I took it
joyfully though and that worked beautifully.  Remember, my
challenge is to be able to say at each dawn, “Yes, today is
a good day to die!”

I have shown up every day for the dawn challenge, walked
and done Taiji or Qigong to still the mind.  The hardest
day was a stop on our road trip.  Massively ugly place to
walk and practice.  I like urban alleys with litter and
such, they have atmosphere, but this place was dead.  I
find it hard to cheerfully say, “It’s a good day to die”
when the place is dead. 

Note, I generally practice on the shore of Puget Sound or
Lake Washington.  Both brim with life force, chi, good
juju.

Even though, the place was dead, I used my spherical
listening to become present.  You can hear more about a
secret Kim Ivy and I reveal on a podcast.  You can listen
to it below.
