There’s no process the body can create to any capacity that is sickness, pathology or destruction of the person. The body doesn’t kill itself. It doesn’t spite you. It doesn’t hold grudges. It heals. That’s it. It helps with building this curiosity and wonder of how your body does this and how you can use it when you stop thinking symptoms and injuries are random. Or freak. Or not very very special and significant for whomever lives inside said body or whomever is in the family under the same roof. Your body doesn’t waste symptoms and injury energy. You shouldn’t either. To fix or prevent? Never. That will lead to a life of playing detective chasing the ever elusive root cause which is never a single nor is it how the body works. And living in prevention is living to prevent healing, growth and learning. Well that doesn’t make sense. Use it all. Remember, the symptoms and injuries are for you. They aren’t for the practitioner or the guide or coach. Use them wisely!

This!! People mock me for not really reading many books then wonder how so much can be learned or understood in my life if I’m not reading a book or listening to a podcast. Because I talk to people and listen. I’m curious of their story. I want to know their experience. I want to learn from the source. I want to watch their movie, read their novel in their eyes and watch them light up retelling it. Then and only then do I go into my life to see how this applies. Then I challenge and experiment with passion in life. And then…..maybe read a book on the topic coming to realize every non fiction book is just the capture of the experiences of life from another point of view. Life holds the stories and books. I’ll read 3-12 books a day. How? 3-12 deep or light conversations with human beings. 3-12 experiments or predictable challenges in my life. Read ten books and learn and change nothing? Or read one and change everything? The world is trying its toughest to create a divide between all humans and most importantly a disconnect with you. When faced with it, take the more human route. Park far and walk to every location. Slow to talk or see life. Carry your groceries and walk. Talk to customer service. Make the IRS lady laugh. Ask questions about the life of the DMV worker. Tell the construction guys a joke. Listen to life. Ernest Hemingway // “When people talk, listen completely. Don’t be thinking what you’re going to say. Most people never listen. Nor do they observe. You should be able to go into a room and when you come out, know everything that you saw there and not only that. If that room gave you any feeling you should know exactly what it was that gave you that feeling. Try that for practice.” @__nitch Post Credit!

Sunset Minute Of Thoughts In Nature Authenticity is the strongest emotion. Not love. Not gratitude. Authentic love. Authentic gratitude. As well as authentic resentment. Authentic grief. Authentic jealousy. Authentic anger. There aren’t healthy emotions and unhealthy ones. Just like there aren’t unhealthy symptoms or healthy ones. There’s nothing your body experiences that is untrue, unnatural and not for you and not healthy as hell. Nothing. Search your roles for proof. Observe it in your family. Not one story is a body attacking itself or dying because of this or aging because of this. Challenge that. Don’t take it word for it. Your symptoms are authenticity in physical spiritual form. Your injuries too. Your diagnoses as well. Why would your body go through such troubles to do all that shit to your skin, energy, muscles, blood, bones, eyes, teeth, feelings, hair, ovaries, testicles, lymph, heart and brain? To match it with a bottle? To shut it up with jogging? To hide it which BJJ? To deny it with diets and training protocols? To burn it out with radiation or sunburns? Really? Does that make sense? Challenge my message. Don’t take my word for it. See what your body says. Trust is earned. Society cannot have individuals who believe in themselves. They have to keep you doubting and finding salvation in anything but you and all you are. Praise to highest thou voice of the tv, government, medical office, school, science and research, blue checks, licensed credentials, coaches, therapists and anyone else needing you weak, fragile and terrified of your own fucking body. Time to change kids. Enough is enough.

Set this on repeat. Food is celebration. Food is connection. Food is love. Food is art. Food is a journey. Food is sensual. Food is exciting. Food is home. Food is support. Food is shared.KI Food is stimulating. Food is nostalgia. Food is feeling. Food is a preference. Food is observation. Food is understanding. Food is electric. Food is not a cause of disease, illness or injury. Food is not a cure or preventative measure of disease, illness or injury. This is health freedom. How are you using food? What is your relationship with nourishment? What does your body think? One person you can’t lie to…yourself…your body. If you want to be free in healing and the concept of health you have to be free in food. Being perfect in food isn’t freedom or healing. Blaming or worshipping food isn’t freedom or healing. We should be able to digest whatever we desire at any given moment with ease and peaceful exit. If not why not? It’s not the foods. It’s you. How can you use digestion as a lab value? How can you also truly support your body, mind, soul and spirit with true nourishment? No 2 bodies the same. No 2 lives the same. No 2 days of life the same. Why diets predictably fail. More rules, laws and poetry of the essential of nourishment in the 5 hour workshop available for 21+ day rentals, annual membership options with future workshop discounts and included in Full Day One visits.

Challenge my message in your life. Don’t take my word for anything being said inside my office space. Do t take anyone’s word for anything in healing and medicine. You inhabit something that has this uncanny intuitive neverending ability to take in challenges, heal and learn. How do we know this? Because fucking all forms of medicine couldn’t exist without the body’s ability to only heal with no exceptions. A surgery is only possible because the body only heals. Cutting out organs is only possible because the body only heals. Burning and radiating the body is only possible because the body only heals. Scaring someone into thinking their childhood, parents or spouse is the cause of disease and mental health concerns is only possible because the body only heals. Diets and exercise plans and detoxes free or changed are only possible because the body only heals. The only reason there can be so many health and medical coaches with no understanding of anything relating to health and medicine and can receive money as a certified or cope see or unlicensed guide is only possible because the body only heals. Your body only heals. Challenge that statement. Truth is truth. Not subjective preference. Truth. A true as blood, sweat, a heart beat, a smile, goosebumps, shit and piss, being turned on, a sunburn, being drunk, full of pizza or listening to your favorite life album and the flood of memories. Truth. This is what you’re avoiding. This is what they’ve convinced you to be afraid of. This is what will never be contained in an office, lab value or test or screening. This truth will never be licensed, credentialed or certified. But don’t take my word for it.

Sunset Minute Of Nature If healing responses, “illness,” and injuries you incurred while all changes implemented, healing body rules followed unique only to you took 3 years until you had no memory of the event, symptoms of healing or physical limitation completely gone, is 3 years too long? Were you doing something else? You’re planning on living for 3 years I’m sure. So who cares how long the body takes. Your life will be enhanced, improved with trust and confidence gained on day one anyway. Sadly we have this idea that medicine is how it is in professional sports. No healing at all. Just hide the problem and get them out on the field immediately. Pull out all drug herb treatment and body work tricks to feel better and have ti change nothing. This isn’t how it works. Sports is quite possibly the worst display of healing approach on the earth. They don’t have a clue how bodies need to be supported. Regardless of illness or injury. Sadly it’s not what sports are about. Stop modeling your approach to healing, performance and medicine to a comedian or athlete. Let them stick to jokes and winning for your city. Healing is happening at all times and takes however long it takes. The healing response of puberty takes 2-5 years. Puberty 2.0 in the form of menopause and andropause the same. Truth fight it with hormones, drugs, herbs and surgery and we’re talking delayed reasons. Support it how a body should be treated and we’re talking 2-5 years. You’re living g anyway. And your changes are in your life. Back off the “how long will this take.” I know it’s frustrating. The most important fruits take the longest to root down and flower. What else are you doing?

This clip hit me because today especially we are being sold we need to sacrifice the rules and laws of human to be elite at a craft. Music. Poetry. Sport. Art. Painting. Farming. Architecture. That we need to have the healing response man calls obsessed, maniacal and crazy to master a craft or compete. We have to break all rules of human healing and performance during our mastering years. Rules and laws of rest, nourishment, training, recovery, belief, social connections, relationships, emotions, light, sleep, play, creativity, authenticity and alignment. With the promise to our bodies always being that we will align ourselves with a “healthier” approach to life once retired. I’m here to argue that elite performance in anything comes from true alignment with self. That elite performance in any field can come from the passion and intensity of wanting to break down walls and see just what you can accomplish and experience sustainably by following the rules of human healing. What’s even more beautiful is once retired this style of life that brought you trophies, records, awards, portfolios, albums, medals, published works and fame even at times is exaclty how you’ll continue to live now that the parade is done. It’s sad because most elite performers end up having to heal just from the life of being elite with the approach sold today. What if elite human, elite healing and elite performance were finally married in an approach to life? Could still be the GOAT in your endeavors without a body, mind and soul that had to be sacrificed to obtain. There is a way. And this post isn’t just about sports by the way. It’s about life.
