Energizing Emotion: Emotional Intelligence and Resilience

…Turbines to Speed! (or ‘Starting the Day Off Right’) Every Superhero has their charge-up–the unique way they get into hero mode and bring their best to meet the challenges and opportunities that await them. I think back to the old-school Adam West Batman TV series (Kapow!), and how upon learning of a villain’s nefarious plan, they would race to their hidden batpoles, slid down to the batcave, and gather their batgadgets for the mission ahead. Most memorable though, was when...

Much of the training I have undergone is built around the mastery of Shapeshifting. Essentially, shapeshifting is the ability to enter into different ‘states of being’ at will, to serve our highest aims. A ‘state of being’ is the comprehensive experience and expression of oneself made up of various dimensions in a given moment: one’s mental and emotional states, one’s physical state, one’s focal point, one’s breath state, and at a subtle level, one’s energy state. In short, it’s the...

As global as it is personally, I have watched at least two dozen of my close friends struggle with body image issues. It is an issue that hits home and hits deep with most people....

Flame on! Johnny Storm (Human Torch) has it easy… Unfortunately for us, it can often take more than simply saying two words to reignite our passion for life. Of all the things that clients seek me out for, the most upsetting and common one by far is an absence of life passion. ‘I’ve lost my passion; I want to find it again’, ‘I used to know how to be happy and somehow I lost sight of it’. (It reminds me...

Superheroes that wish to make a real difference must train themselves in peak energy, resilience and performance. Such energy comes from an ability to generate, maintain and magnify one’s biophysical resources. One of the most important skills for this is breath and energy control, which the yogis called ‘Pranayama’. Pranayama is considered by yogis to be the path to immortality (amrita), as it gradually leads you back to the energetic source of all life, or ‘prana’. Being in healthy contact...

If you know you are here to be a real-life Superhero, and are looking for a yoga form designed to support your Superhero training, this post’s for you. With great joy and excitement, I introduce the world’s first official Superhero Yoga. For 12 years I have been engaged in intensive research into the place of physical yoga in modern society–how it can be a vehicle and technology for present day imbalances and near future achievements. I believe humans are collectively...
