…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...

New Years marks a moment to reflect on lessons learned and visions sparked. And as I said last year in my 2013 New Years blog, what I value most is an ever deepening connection to one’s true source of inner power, brought forward through deliberate choices and committed behavior. The League of Awesomeness is built on the reality that we each have massive untapped potential to live truly meaningful, impactful and inspired lives, yet this potential must be actualized through...

I really get it.  You don’t want to be a zombie at work. It’s a bust for you, and it’s generally not the best way to score points with your boss. And I know, our modern lifestyle often looks insane–working extreme hours, crashing late every night, under-slept, under-hydrated, quick meal breaks that consist more of “proprietary processed ingredients” than actual whole foods. I’m not gonna lie–in those moments of exhaustion, it’s f’ing tough to resist the urge to reach for...

Sometimes a Superhero is born from the depths of loss, grief, depression and even suicide. Sometimes, it takes going to rock bottom to find your deepest purpose for living. And so it is with the towering figure of Buckminster Fuller. Bucky, as he liked to be called, is an amazing story of tragedy and triumph. Seriously, when I learned about the twists and turns of this man’s life, I felt humbled and awed by who this man decided to become,...

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...
