The body, the mind, the spirit. Each with an increasing level of awareness, connectivity and direction. The body follows the mind, which is tricky, as it occasionally gets confused. Spirit seems to sit in the background overseeing things, waiting for us to listen or look a little closer figure it out. Sometimes there is conflict....

If you have an iPhone, here’s an exercise for you: Go to the “settings” tab, then go to “battery,” then scroll down to look at Battery usage for the Apps. Then toggle the little switch over to “Time” with the little clock, rather than percentage. Flip it over to the “Last 7 Days.” A lot...

To change the mind requires awareness. It is more difficult (because it is more confused), but it can be non-linear. It can be instantaneous. To change the body is more simple, as the body is just the follower. However, the body takes its time, it is mechanical. In 2009 I raced at the Hawaii Ironman...

There WILL be a time when the thought still exists, but you move through it. What would happen if we could see through...

As we progress forward technologically, we have dropped many of our rhythms. Our seasonal rhythm was down-graded when air conditioning became popular from the early 1950’s. Our daily (circadian) rhythm was down-graded when commerce went global and the internet connected us all together. Over the past 100 years, our default mode has been to lose a...
