Workout With Me Wednesdays

Workout With Me Wednesdays features fitness enthusiast guests. We trade turns teaching each other our workout and stretch systems and you benefit by doing the workout along with us. Some days will feature workouts other days it will be yoga.

I don't normally workout, and I don't like the gym. I'd rather be working-out out outdoors in a fun way. I don't like doing the same workout I get board easily. So I thought why not invite my friends to workout with me and teach me a new workout. While I'm at why not combine my wish to workout more with others and grow my youtube channel at the same time?

Therefore Workout With Me Wednesdays was born.

It's Good to be at GoodOnYa!

6/6/2017

GoodOnYa

"GoodOnYa Love" is a phrase I know all to well from my lovely Australian friend Jennifer. Said by Australians in their dingo lingo for when a friend has done something well, accomplished an achievement or is just plain blessed! I think all three of those apply to the Organic Encinitas California Cafe, GoodOnYa. As the cafe is 100% Non-GMO and is 99% organic! I had the Superfood Smoothie Powerfuel and Greens. A smoothie I would have made at home myself.

Why come to GoodOnYa?

If you're deep in meditation and realize your hungry.
If you're thinking of getting a life coach but can't afford a $5,000 package go here instead. The food is therapy.
Did you get invited to a cacao ceremony but realized a cookie would do the trick, they got you covered here with gluten free baked goods.

There's even a squatty potty! This place is so conscious they even help you during your go. If you're thinking of going to a three day festival but don't like to be without a clean bathroom and can't leave home without your #2 helper, just come to Goddonya.

Get the Squatty Potty in Your Home!

The Hilarious and Healing Hendricks

6/3/2017

Gay and Katie Hendricks at The Consciousness Network and Expo in Santa Barbara

Gay and Katie Hendricks talk was like watching love veterans perform a conscious comedy stand up routine at a seminar.By far my favorite event The Consciousness Network has put on.

Here were my notes and quotes from The Hendricks.

Relationships are a race to play the victim.

Authenticity opens up your aliveness.

They are about open communication and genuine intimacy. The Hendricks promote being genuinely interested in what the other partner is saying.Instead of just passively listening. Active listening comes from true genuine interest.

Everyone has addictions in relationships like the being right addiction.
The Adrenaline Addiction is the biggest addiction in relationships.

Their talk actively engages the audience through various invitations to participate. In the need to blame the couple instructed the audience to point their finger at others and say "ha". Then to neutralize the blame The Hendricks had the audience reverse the pointing finger to a related hand toward ones self while making a "hmm" sound, as if to reflect on ones personal responsibility in the matter. Lost of laughter, fun and easy learning was had by all.

Both people need to be committed to their Creativity.
As both parties in a relationship need to be committed to following their creative passions for the energy to flow in the relationship.

In relationships there must be play. Look for the play signals.

Relationships that last have 5 appreciations to 1 negative are lasting.
Relationships that have 5 negatives to every 1 positive are headed for break up station.

How do you like to be appreciated? Ask your partner how they like to be appreciated.Then appreciated them more in that way.

Society wants you to be anxious and nervous so you buy stuff. So you disconnect from how you really feel.

On the subject of opposites attract.
Opposites are an opportunity to learn from each other, rather then be the same.

There's and urge to merge and an urge to be an individual

Differences can be learned from and honored as a point of discovery not separation. - Katie Hendricks

Natural Products Expo West Taste Test

10/4/2016

Natural Products Taste Test - Spirulina Bar

I always enjoy attending the natural Products Expo West in Anaheim. There is a plethora of foods to smell and taste! I left with a goodie bag full of healthy snacks and treats. The first taste test video post expo is for the brand Go Raw with their Spirulina flavor bar. I've had this one before but they have a whole new package and sweet taste to it. Luckily they did not sweeten their product with stevia, yet instead used banana and dates to give it the sweet flavor.
I'm not for additive sweet flavoring especially stevia. In my experience even though stevia is a natural anit-hyperglycemic sweetener that works with diabetics, it tastes even sweeter then a regular sugar additive. Thus causing your taste buds, body and mind to want more sweet foods. I believe it's best to get your body trained not to crave sweets even if using a natural sweetener. Luckily bananas and dates are a food that is meant to be sweet. A wholefood as a sweetener in this product is a big thumbs up for me!
Taste for yourself and let me know what you think. You can purchase this bar in the link in the photo below.

Looping with Sound Healer Gabriel Logan Braun

4/25/2016

Vocal Loop with Sound Healer Gabriel Logan Braun

As a Sound Healer who is looking to up the potency in the sound of my songs, I turned to Gabriel Logan Baum for a lesson in looping. Vocal Toning on Loop Pedals is a great way to enhance the tones. Instead of just singing in a singular tone, one can record and layer vocals with these looping technologies so that is sounds like more than one person singing, even when it's your own voice.
This is perfect for live performances.
The loop pedal lesson and toning session with Gabriel Logan Baum was in the mountain's of Topanga. With the combination of his guidance on the pedals and my vocal toning, the following video clip is the audio were collaboratively put together.

Calling in UFO's with Meditation

2/29/2016

UFO Meditation on Venice Beach with Fausto UFO

Upon meeting Fausto we immediacy bonded over attending the upcoming Conscious Life Expo 2016. He was to host a UFO Meditation on the top of the Hilton on the Friday evening of the Expo. I knew I already had prior commitments so I suggested we meet up before hand so I could experience this UFO Calling meditation myself.

We meet up during Sunset at Venice Beach so see what we could find in the sky. After a brief meditation we came up short on seeing any objects in the sky. Though I did experience what most people feel when doing this meditation. That was a great reminder.

Watch to see how you can meditate to call in a UFO.

Check out Fausto's Youtube Channel Fausto UFO to see what he finds in the sky.

A Call to a Conscious Evolution

9/16/2015

I remember watching the secret when Michael Bethwith came on the screen with the lower 3rd's title of "Visionary". I thought to myself, 'I'd like to have that title'. Little did I know a few short years later I would meet Michael and get the chance to ask him how he got that title. He told me that he didn't even pick it, the producers of the secret gave him that title.

I didn't chose the title of 'Visionary' they gave me it. - Michael Beckwith

It goest to show that you CAN create your own title. You can be what you to be. As you already are what you want to be. These are al concepts that the movie taught.

Another 'Visionary' featured in the film is Jack Canfield. I found out more about Jack online after I had seen him in the secret. I remember watching his speaker videos and thinking to myself, one day I am going to meet him and we are going to become friends.

The next morning a friend calls to invite me to the Pachamama Alliance event. I accepted the invitation and met Jack that very next day! That is instant manifestation lined up by the divine!

Fast forward a few years later and I get another moments notice chance to fill in for a friend by covering the press interviews for the event, A Call to a Conscious Evolution. Where Lynn Twist, the co-founder of the Pachamama Alliance was speaking along with Jack Canfiled, Barbara Marx Hubbard and many others. I got to meet and interview Jack. It's amazing to see where one foresight thought can take you.

Watch all these spiritual thought leaders and more in the video playlist below.

Raw Ready

1/29/2014

I'm getting ready for the Raw Living Expo this weekend (Jan 31st - Feb 2nd) in Thousand Oaks by re-introducing myself to the raw diet. This morning I made myself a raw smoothie with banana, vanilla raw meal powder, almonds, almond milk, and raw honey.
I'm going all for the next couple of days as much as I can. Usually I integrate and balance raw foods with cooked, veggies with little bits of meat. Personally I choose not to do an all raw diet all the time. I opt for a proportional balance to maintain. With raw being more than 50% of my diet. I believe raw food cleanses are the way to go, over the period of time that you see fit for yourself. That could be one day to 6 months. Whatever is cleaver.
But I have noticed over the years as I have been in the Conscious and Raw food communities that some of the hard core raw foodies start to deteriorate over time. Either they are not properly balancing the nutrients in their raw diet to get enough protein or maybe their body type really isn't suited for an all raw diet. As I've seen big muscular men loose their muscle and become really skinny. This is not a good or bad thing, it is just something to be aware of when consciously being on the raw food diet. This can be great if you are over weight and want to loose those pounds. But I'm talking about men with near perfect physic, loose their sexy manly muscle curves along with attractive masculine energy in trade for an over all more feminine appearance. Now this can also be a great thing if a man is too muscular like an extreme body builder with too much testosterone and ego running through his body and personality. This is who the raw food cleanse is perfect for. So he can tone that down.
And when you switch to the raw food diet or cleanse, you do become more loving, more aware of energies, and more in touch with your femininity. Which is great! The world needs more of that. But if you are a man, please don't over do it and keep a balance. Because not only can this have effects on your masculine/ feminie energies but your physical health as well.

Take Dan the Man for example, who on youtube documented his raw food transition and promoted a 100% raw lifestyle. After being on the diet for a number of years he recently had health issues and no longer promotes a 100% raw food diet.
It's all about balance and integration.

Even my vegan chef house mate has balance. She'll cook vegan for gatherings or she'll prep it raw style. Like last nights meal with the hommies, we had raw lasagna which included, thinly slices beats, cucumber, and two amazing raw spreads. I didn't make it, sorry don't know what was in it but it was awesome! And super filling. With raw food you really don't have to eat as much because all the nutrients is alive and living giving you more of what your body needs. Verses cooked food that has some of the nutrients cooked out when heated to temperatures over 115 degrees.
But I just have to keep bringing it back. That it is all about balance with everything in life my friends. So if you have not checked out the amazing creations you can make with raw food to impove your health in a balanced way, I encouraged you to join me at the Raw Living Expo 2014 in Thousand Oaks this Friday - Sunday, Jan 31st- Feb 2nd at the Hyatt Westlake Plaza.

Breaking Brand

12/25/2013

Russell Brand is breaking out in the media with consciousness. Known for his crazy comedy, Brand is spiking the media punch with a big dose of consciousness.

Brand is breaking the rules of stereotypical political correctness and blind social acceptance through his truth telling entry way of his comedic stick. This is how he is able to get on TV shows and infiltrate the mind numbing content to that of some what of a conscious upraising.

One of my favorites media pieces of Russell is when he appeared on the show Morning Joe. He shook up the anchors, put them in their place and then delivered the new himself in a conscious style.

Another great conscious media infiltration by Brand is when he informed the party attendees of the GQ awards of it's sponsor, Hugo Boss's involvement in the Nazi party. The company made the uniforms for the regime. This comment got Brand in a lot of hot water afterwards. But nothing seems to burn him as he keeps on going with his message promotion.

The following video below shows the top Russell Brand interviews of the year 2013.

All this media consciousness busting by Brand is to promote his Mesiah Complex Stand Up comedy tour. The video below is the FULL video of his stand up show, The Mesiah Complex by Russell Brand. It touches of some truths, you may or may not have heard of within the aware world. It's great to show to a friend who has just begun their conscious awakening. As he uses some not so conscious comedy to pull you into the mind expanding concepts. Because Brand is already a comedian this style suits him quiet well. But can these concepts be presented by other comedians without the cure and rudeness? I'd like to see that stand up routine. Send those that fit the bill my way.

If you can get past some of the harsher jokes referring to crude sexuality, drugs and bestiality then go for it, have a look! You'll be laughing while being educated with. Edutainment! A great Conscious Comedy mix. Leave a comment below and let me know what you think of Russell and his quest.
