Energy Manifestation Why It Matters #IYP

Energy Manifestation, And Why It Matters #IYP
I mean the lesson's are everywhere if we just open our eye's to them and admit to ourselves that we truly don't have all the answer's and basically that we don't really know sweet F all about anything pretty much. So every chance is a chance to learn and improve and if we start looking at it like that well then sky is the limit!
So on today's show I wanted to discuss the power of our energy and intent. Ok I know that is sorta out there on the fu fu wu wu scale but I personally experienced it again today and have to share it with you because there was no way this was not exactly related to the energy and intent a group of us were putting out and how it affected a group completely separate from us, but very close to our vicinity. This was not a maybe or kinda sorta it was fully measurable and obvious to all to experience. 
It's Christmas Eve and the hustle and bustle is real, we are finishing a work out with 30 plus people and the area we are in is busy as there are a ton of people maybe another 20 plus waiting in line for some fruit bowl at the stand in front of the gym, as well just a lot of people hanging out and talking. 
A group of us were asked by a yoga teacher if we wanted to do a stretch out, relax and mediation session for around 30-45 minutes, and there was about 12 of us who took up this amazing offer. 
Now as we started the noise level must have been 12 on a scale of 1-10. We could barley hear what the instructor was saying that is how loud the voices were from people just doing what people do. As you all know (or some may not) I am very practiced at awareness so this is something I focused on immediately, how I was taking internally getting into a relaxed state while it was like a dance party 15 feet away from us. This is something we focus in on in our class because any one of us should be able to get into a relaxed meditative spot no matter what is going on (think of loud crying babies on an airplane and all you want to do is sleep). There is a reason we truly focus all efforts on our internal not the external.
So again this was why I was fixated on this issue from the beginning. So this light relaxing music get put on as well very very low, we can just barley hear it, the instructor has not changed the level of her voice and continues to talk in this soft relaxing soothing speak while we hold these hold, stretches, poses and take these very deep slow breaths which is putting us into this much deeper state of relaxation. We are now maybe 8 minutes in, and I continue to put some attention on the noise level of the crowd, almost allowing it to relax me as well. 
At this point I notice the noise level going down to a 9, I can hear the music clearly now, and am not missing anything the instructor is saying. At this point she is pushing us more and more into breath work and holding lighter easier poses for longer. This again taking us even deeper into relaxation, myself personally at this point I am starting to get into a very deep relaxed state, you know when you just begin to feel like jelly.
We hold this pose for maybe 5 minutes, no words from the instructor, just 12 of us taking long deep breaths, with a pause then deep exhales so breathing is all you hear mixed with this light relaxing spa type music in the speakers. After those 5 minutes the crowd is no longer yelling just talking like any one of us would in a work place, the kids do not seem to be as hyped up the yelling and obnoxious laughing has gone. I start thinking that everyone can feel the change happening. I find this to be a very cool experience at this point. I fully know the energy has been subdued.
It get's even better, we are now eyes close laying down and asked to meditate no more holding poses or stretches, just eyes closed, almost sleep time. While the instructor does some visualization talking. Again I am paying attention not only the internal but the external, I am internally jello, gone, relaxed and astute with my meditation while paying attention to the crowd. Now because my eyes were closed I thought that the crowd had almost all gone, I did not hear anything so much so that the music seemed kinda loud and at this point the instructor was whispering to us. So I just assumed there were very few people left out there.
As we open our eyes and come out of this little enjoyable relax time, I turn around to see that there is still a lot of people outside. Enjoying their fruit bowls in almost absolute silence, just being present with the sun the air and the taste of the fruit. Nothing else added or needed.
For me one of the coolest experience of the power of group energy and how it effects every thing around us!

Doing Good Deeds For Other #IYP

Doing Good Deeds For Others #IYP
On today's show I go over how it truly is the small things that make a massive change in this world. The change comes from within to make the change on the outside or our exterior world.
So I was at the beach I had been on a long walk up and down the beach and how I do that is a slower style walk where I pay attention to every step I make how the air feels, when I move a foot upwards, how the sand feels in and on my toes and feet, and how the water interacts with all the movements. In those moments all you do is pay attention to your movement and by default you end up paying attention to your surroundings. This is also Known as a walking meditation.
From there I went into a sitting meditation again just listening to the water and wind as well as all the happenings around me, this is where I really began to notice all the complaining, anger, snappiness, short tempers and yelling that was happening with from what I heard was a lot of families and the parents dealing with the children. There was a lot of back and forth between the parents and the kids it did not seem like happy vibes and or energies I was feeling or hearing on the beach. Truly a little bit of a weird time for it being beach time, vacation time, happy time.
Here is where it all began to change. I came out of meditation to see a group of around 10 people walking into the area we were all in, they had a Santa suit, camera's, lights I mean it was about to be a full photo shoot happening on the beach...kinda cool to be honest. 
Now the minute and I mean from the first minute the first kids saw Santa on the beach saying that out loud, and then it spreading to all the other kids on the beach it was an instantaneous mood change or energy change. The kids voice's changed, their stature changed, their curiosity changed, their energy changed, the entire mood on the beach changed...it was incredible like a dominos effect this was all within 2, maybe 3 minutes. Then immediately after that all the parents mood changed they were happy to see the kids happy, taking pictures of the kids looking on in curiosity, shy but inspired. So so cool to watch in live time let me tell you.
This is where and how we as a people and as a single person can make the world of change. Ok so obviously this team of marketer's or agency where at work, but when you see 12 to 20 little children maybe between 4 and 8 years of age ish gathered around looking and whispering and saying hi Santa kinda still shy but super excited and not really knowing (as well as the parents) if they were able to go hug her (it was a female in the outfit) say hello, tell her what they wanted for Christmas and the parents also not knowing if they could take pictures, confusion right. 
Santa then piped up and said come on over, at the same time waving the parents over who had their phones and camera's right ready to go, but just waiting for the OK, and boom this rush of kids running over maybe 15 feet to jump around Santa.
The happiness was contagious, that child like feeling was contagious, the excitement was contagious, and for the adults remembering that child like mind priceless. In that moment the anger, distress, sadness, snappiness, was all long forgotten and love filled the air...no joke. 
All the while the camera guys and gals, the lighting team, the director, all just sat there enjoying the moment as well, not rushing, not saying no, just allowing this incredible happiness to flow. Such an amazing experience to see and such a good feeling to know that humanness triumphed again over the thoughts of time and money!

Crossfit Mentality For Longevity Good or Bad? #IYP

Cross-fit Mentality For Longevity Good or Bad? #IYP
So something that has been apart of my life for the last 3-4 years is this work out style called Cross Fit. Now I am very, very aware of all the negative press as well as positive press that comes with the type of booming growth and spotlight that this specific regime has come under, I mean it's under a spot light. So please no matter what you have heard and maybe have your pre conceived thoughts on let me give you my personal vibe on the matter.
So first off the gym scene and men in general is a recipe for Ego, the Flex, the machismo, the who's bigger, badder, stronger, tougher, aka Dick measuring you all know what I am talking about. Now that is relevant in every gym, and I have seen it at many Cross fit gym's as well, however it truly only happens before you become part of the community. What do I mean by that, well you honestly have to come experience what goes down in the gym, but a quick once over would be this - ego goes away because the group that you happen to be in class with at what ever hour you happen to be there is only there to be better than they were yesterday. So coming in with this ego or attitude that you are better than everyone (which does happen) does not get any love, because the person who get's it done fastest or slowest get the same amount of cheering and love.
So if you were the type of person who has to be Bad Ass all the time, you probably would not end up in a gym like this. So the vibe in the gym is one of wanting to do better for each and everyone no matter where you athletic level is.
Again as with any gym there are owners, and coaches who have visions as to what fit is. For some it maybe strength which involves heavy lifting, some gym's may focus on cardio and gymnastics get it. Ok and myself I am look for Longevity and smart training.
What Does that mean exactly? Well again it's going to the base of your health routine, ok so I want proper stretching, I want a proper warm up of the muscle and body parts/areas that are going to be used during the planned work out, I want the proper techniques taught to me for the best possible lifting I can do so that I DO NOT INJUR MYSELF, I finally want the proper cool down and roll out the areas I just used for the last 90 minutes! Boom Yes that is what I look for in my healthy lifestyle training.
I am in it for the Long Haul, I have seen the older guys who did not warm up and can barley move once they get into the 50 plus years, this does not interest me, meaning having that short term LOOK that BEACH BODY early in life then to suffer later in life.
Not at all interested in that crap, however the people I have studied male and female who work out smart, and properly, and eat smart and properly again based on their body type and structure well then sky is by far the limit. Those type of people who are still rocking it out of the park in their 50's, 60's, 70's plus...that's my game plan
I hope you do the same for yourself by following the same type of structure!

Sugar the Silent Killer, What do we know? #IYP

Sugar the Silent Killer, What do we know? #IYP
So on today's show I have to speak up about the conversation I have found myself in this morning with 3 gentlemen or guys or dudes whatever, who are beyond smart when it comes to pretty much everything except when it came to the smart's about health.
So every morning on my month long healing retreat I wake up around 5 (ish) for a 6 am training call which last's around 90 minutes this includes body knowledge, stretching, weight's, and then a work out 'HIIT' style also known as Cross-fit. For the last 5 days there has been a group of highly highly intelligent group of guys 3 of them and I mean that type of uber smart that is next level their business's and investments where well above my brain power in understanding. Great group of guys and I am and have able to learn so much from them. Now to today's hot topic!
So they had taken me out for lunches and dinner the last few days and this morning I said breakfast is on me, let hit Brekki Bowls (which is a fruit base almost fruit smoothy base, then with fresh cut berries and or fruits on top with peanut butter and a few other toppings) this bowl is amazing, it is light, it is healthy, it is nutrition, it is straight from mother earth and made with love by the owner. So again I wanted to treat them to this beauty!
However the reaction by these highly intelligent guys absolutely blew my mind. The first words out of their mouth's was hey we are "Keto" (nothing against any diet style on my end and no judgement) and the next words were so we don't do sugar.Which I was in full agreement with no sugar to me that means the crap the bleached, redefined, artificial, crap to me that makes sense? However to say to me anyway that fruit is just as bad as white sugar, I mean I was lost to be honest.
I asked these uber smart mofo's so you are telling me the body does not recognize the difference between a table spoon of white sugar aka death on the spoon and a hand-full of blueberries? To that they answered no it does not Sugar is Sugar.
This is one of the reason's for Ignite Your Purpose, we have to open belief's like this up to discussion because I just can not agree or understand that train of thought. Mother Nature did not make fruit's and veggies for no reason I fully believe from my knowledge they are here for us to eat to heal! 
Please let me know your thoughts on this

Fat is the New Skinny, is this True? #IYP

Fat is the New Skinny, is this True? #IYP
So we talk about in this episode the fact that My man Joe Rogan addressed the magazine issue with the bigger girl on the cover, and the reason this came into my reality is that this same magazine was brought into the gym where I was working out by this beautiful female couple. Now the one girl wanted to start up this amazing lifestyle we call healthy and we also involve cross-fit into it. 
Now her other half had the magazine in hand and was and continued through the entire orientation and class referring to this magazine as the new bible and how big/fat was the future and that working out and healthy was sorta a thing of the past. This was a massive eye opener for me, as I watched one human being wanting to better herself, feel better, look better, think better, be stronger while her soul mate was bamboozled into thinking because there was a big and by the way sexy women on the cover of a magazine that it was ok to be that way. To stay being big, and unhealthy because you saw it on a paper somewhere one time, and yes I personally do believe they will continue to push this simply because they want us to be unhealthy because I personally think that there is more money in it for cooperations to have the population Un healthy but that's just me.
So it is something I feel had to be talked about is this right to be pushing a Un proven lifestyle so that we as a people can continue to be lazy and unmotivated about our health, because yes this is not easy work, but again from experience nothing will ever taste as good as healthy feels #FACTS!!

Fast Food Industry Trends and What That Means For Us #IYP

Fast Food Industry Trends and What That Means For Us #IYP
So on today's show I go over a chat I had with a group of people in the food industry and the investing industry. We got to talking about the evolution of human's on the planet, convenience in the last 100 years, investing trends and as well as health trends. The conversation was with people who were very switched on in their respected fields and had knowledge that I had not been introduced to as far as facts dating back to before my time when it came to marketing numbers as well as how fast food and convenience foods have grown over the past 50 years.
Some of these facts and numbers were very mind numbing to be honest. When we look at things from the perspective of an ant, you cannot really see the entire picture like you could as an eagle soaring high above. When you think of the rise and fall of past civilizations, when we see things in what most call hindsight yes then we can understand and gain some perspective but when we are right in the middle of it, as it is happening I don't think we can truly see what it is that is happening right in front of our eyes. 
We have apps now that can deliver us food so we never have to leave the house, we have business, and investment into AI and virtual reality. These things are maybe going to be awesome, but do any of us at this moment think of the health reality for the youth coming up, or ourselves. It is going to be so easy within years to have things delivered to our homes so that we can continue to focus on whatever it is that we want to be doing, and I have a feeling as with most investments and business that it will all be money driven so having said that, do we honestly think that the ingredients and vegetables and meats will be of the highest and healthiest qualities?
Meaning if we don't at this point start paying attention to our health, sooner or later the world we live in won't even remember what it is to cook for yourself, or know that physical activity is a thing.
If we think back to groups like the Spartan's and we think know that only 12% of the North American population is physically fit, we have to ask ourselves what in the Phuck Happened!!

Healing Vacation Healing Retreat #IYP

Healing Vacation Healing Retreat - Why?#IYP
So time after time, year after year, they keep breaking my balls with the wtf is  a healing vacation question. It's something I coined about 4 years back when we decided to skip out on Christmas and instead the gift we gave ourselves was a vacation away from it all. The stress, the holiday rush, the pissyness, the money spending for no reason, the over eating, the over drinking, the over indulgence, the selfishness of people wanting your time with them instead of other relatives. Basically we felt like the meaning of Christmas meter was a little broken in todays world.
We took a leap of faith and went away from it all for the holiday's and we treated ourselves to health (now at the time we did not do that on purpose) the universe sort of met us half way. We had a small budget to spend on ourselves and along the way we meet people who did certain things like message, or ran a day spa, or held stretching/yoga classes on the beach, or did sound bath healing, I mean it was endless and we started trying some of the things here and there.
One thing we also (not by choice but due to circumstance) was we were in bed super early like by 730-830 every night and up at the crack of ass every morning to work out by 6 am with this amazing coach we ended up meeting and then training with daily. That cycle was new to us and I mean that was a life changer as well.
The food, well we had always been disciplined but we then took it to the next level and decided to treat ourselves with only the best, most nutritious, healthiest possible choices we could find (again the universe met us half way by providing us with impromptu meeting on the beach with restaurant owners who just happen to be either vegan, whole food plant based, organic farm, organic meat)
So that was our first toe dip into the world of healing vacations. Now at the time we were running away from Christmas, but if you believe that everything happens for a reason then you like me would understand and believe that we were actually running towards self appreciation, and self healing. Again that was 4, 5 years ago now, and what started off as a one off run away from family has lead to a twice a year month long healing getaway!
I honestly hope each and every one of you gives it a try, if you need any tips let me know!

Then There Was One The Elephant in The Room #IYP

Then There Was One The Elephant in The Room #IYP
So it is time to admit the obvious, it's been since December 1, 2018, that Ignite Your Purpose has been down one member. For those of you have been keeping up with the daily show, and have been asking about it, well here it is. I took some time to address it on the show today, the reasons as to how it started and then how we ended up with just your's truly moving forward with the show. 
It did start honestly enough, I left for a month healing retreat, which added another 4 hour time difference to the 8 that was already a current bump in the road. With the time difference and the other half being involved in some course's, it was a basic one month of almost impossible 'ness' to get together to make the time line work.
I went on to do the daily show and found it very freeing, flowing, easy and enjoyable, fun actually! It did take some time to get use to the extra work load, but ya in all honesty I truly enjoyed the change up and still do to this day. As of now it is official that the #IYP change up is permanent, and what will happen now will be interview based show's added to the mix with some relevant people at the top of their game, and making massive change for the better when it comes to health and alternative health. So this again will be an added bonus to the listeners to get that even more valuable info in this the 2nd season of Ignite Your Purpose!

Algorithm Theory the Good and Bad #IYP

Algorithm Theory The Good and Bad #IYP
On today's show I show you from my understanding at least the tale of the 2 wolves, which it is said that each one of us have within us. The good side and the bad side, this tale is as old as stories are themselves and for the first time this tale hit me hard as the Matrix of it was staring deep into my soul.
So I was apart of my first blessing by the elders on the Island of Maui in Hawaii and the words, the vibe, the people, the day itself blew me away in so many ways that I cannot even describe. The old traditions, the mindset, the value of the mind, body, soul, and respect for ourselves, others, and mother nature herself. I kid you not it was so deep, so intense that at one point the words rang so true and hit so hard that my knee kinda buckled (and BTW I was standing still) I had to take a knee and started to cry.
Ok and at this same ceremony I had a chat with a friend of mine who is big into online marketing, crypto, sales and a few other things. He is way advanced when it comes to that type of stuff, and for this show and my music I am always asking and running things by him. So we got into a very deep conversation and he was dropping massive amounts of science and knowledge on me as far as the AI and algorithms, which as well blew me away. To see the not so human side, the side that exploits us all, the bending of the truth and as well the ultimate goal 98% of the time from most corporations of just getting the sales the money.
As I sat there and listened and as well experienced what I did on both ends from the ancient traditions, to this new era that I want to get into ...I felt a sense of confusion and a sense of loss.

Mindset Business Health it's all the same #IYP

Mindset Business Health it's all the same #IYP
So when I first decided to go all in, on this podcast,vlog thing I asked to interview 2 very very cool business owner's here on the island of Maui in Hawaii. They agreed, that was a full year ago, the first interview was with a Hot bad ass mama named Hollie. It has been a full year since that interview and what I have seen change for her in her business and how I have seen her mental change is next next level!
It is something I wish to capture and share in another follow up interview with her, but for the time being to speak on the massive up's the massive down's (I mean massive down's) then the power one feels after overcoming something that you felt could have beaten you. You know what I mean, those times when you just feel like giving up, that what's the point feeling, I have been there and although it may not last long, it's still a terrible spot to be in, necessary but a terrible spot to be.  
But guess what - you /we don't let it beat us, hell no, we beat it, and that feel's like nothing none of us have ever felt like before. It is what I personally think each one of deserve's to feel and enjoy, I wish this upon you as well as myself
