Back in the day we worked on building some myelin around how a few gymnasts prepared. You see, these gymnasts have been building myelin around their routines since they were really young. They've wrapped the neural networks around jumping, leaping, flipping, tumbling, twisting, swinging, and all other gymnast kinda moves with enough myelin to make … Continue reading Train the brain…

John Newton's Mom died suddenly when he was 6 years old. By the time he turned 11 he was sailing the high seas. When he was 20 he was forced off his ship on some small island just southeast of Sierra Leone, West Africa where he was enslaved for 18 months.

Every system is filled with tension. Today, I helped a client distribute the tension in their system to its rightful owner.  Tension is not the problem.  Owning more than your own is.  This is painfully obvious to see in other systems than our own.  When it comes to seeing this same kinda tension in our … Continue reading Tension…

My barista, you see, turned out to be … Continue reading Energy bars…

Driving across Indiana yesterday was eye opening. Every mile was lined with orange barrels from the Ohio border to Illinois. The speed limit was reduced from 70mph to 55. I can’t drive 55... We saw no work being done. None. Nada. Nothing. We see this condition everyday in BTL practice. Many practice participants are like … Continue reading Indiana…

I’m taking a cold shower after my normal, steaming hot one. It took five clients to convince me that the WHM (Wim Hof Method) was something I should try. I’m not easily swayed, kind of like a mule. You are mule like too. If you’ve been reading these rants for any amount of time you … Continue reading Cold shower…
