The vibrations from our thoughts and words are telling everything what to do all the time. How we do one thing, is how we do everything, and how we declare our curiosities and commitments, governs how they get put into the grid, this is how we are programming our lives, both consciously and subconsciously. This is both an endogenous privilege, and the universe’s gift to humanity. Do we realize this, & are we harnessing it? The broad strokes and finest details of our lives begin to find their contours, in first rites of thought and habituation. Every communication is either vibrating trust in our ability to create or fear that we may not have what it takes to make it happen. The kinship framework of the meditative mind, gets the momentum of our thoughts and declarations, rolling out 16x in an optimizing, impactful direction. This is about training our minds, hearts, and psyches, so we can own and sculpt our presence, completely & holistically, and share it generously. What does it feel like when you are in a kinship framework, and what does it feel like when you are not? Life is practicing on us, and as practitioners, we want to challenge the challenge by roll modeling the potential that is encoded in every relay.

Make sense of your body, make friends with your body, you do not ‘have’ a body, you are a body. It is the seat of your soul, where mind and world mingle, where biography and biology are one. It is the fertile ground of your entire history, both available and measurable, in the flesh. The way you orient your body in the environment matters. Our inseparability with the enormity and unity of everything, is a perennial, and undeniable truth. Our moment to moment maneuvering, of finding footing, when faced with shrinking or expanding, matters– it matters. When we can’t think our way through a challenge, it is our movement that ferries us across. Our lives are ordered by how we think and move. Use this adaptogenic practice to eradicate the issues from your tissues, to promote a bit of cellular regeneration, to irrigate the meridians, and the re-inhabit rite relationship in your body. Practice primes us, so more and more, we see less and less separation between our bodies and the bodies of others, between our bodies and bodies of water, and between our bodies and the entire body of our planet. When you consistently foster high impact interactions within the lived experience of your own ecosystem, it will facilitate lasting and conscious impact in natural and social landscapes. This, my friends, is worth choosing into… again and again, and again.

Sometimes the best thing we can do for the big vision to manifest, isn’t to hustle faster or further, but rather to stop everything all together and find the unshakable fulfillment housed in the here and now & to learn ways of engaging our inner pharmacopeia. It goes without saying that stress and worry are the new norms for a massive swath of our population. Everything continues to change, and what used to be a go to solution for well-being, may no longer prove efficient, in our post 2020 world. We can’t go wobbling our way into the awakening. The world awaits us, and needs us to be internally resourced, mentally stable, and engaging of the day, in a way that leaves beauty in our wake. Use this practice to soothe your nervous system, hone your attitude, and adjust your energetic algorithms. Practice helps us break out of all kinds of limitations, and go deeper into what we really feel drawn to say yes to, and to the kind of “Yesses” that move life in sustainable ways. Practice bends, changes, and challenges our bodies, hearts, minds, and missions so we can learn, create, love, take action, plan, move and enjoy as many nuances along the way, as possible. So many people need so many kinds of help. Don’t wait until you’re exceedingly clear to deliver your gifts. Put the teachings in your body, give what you know you can give, write what you know you can write, say what you know you can say, do what you know you can do. Trust yourself, & let it be awesomely simply. Harness the infinity of infinity, and elevate your capacity to hold a frequency, in your vicinity, that is beneficial in reality.

Name, claim, and occupy your particular creation vibration. The signature equation that allows you to live today the best way you know how, and to do it in a way that maintains innocence, reduces stagnation, and re-fluidifies rigidity. Tap into a tongue lock and a brow balancing meditation that can help with flexible thinking, sensitivity, concentration, and taking pragmatic aim toward your future. Clear magnetic blocks, remove fear, unload the pain of perpetual memories, clean out the clutter of the mind, embody forgiveness, & take out the subconscious garbage, so to ride the wave of nature, in both potent & immeasurably subtle ways. Meditation is one of your greatest companions. With consistent practice, you will find yourself embracing life’s mysteries, and moving toward them, and with them. All of the emotional scar tissues we carry, are the mountain ranges on the map of our lives. Unfathomable and potentially beautiful simultaneously. The very topography of a life deeply lived. Taking time to tend your neutral mind, regularly, is what closes the gap, transfiguring us into islands of integrity, with the capacity to find meaning in the grist, and to potentiate a happy, healthy, & free iteration of self, sooner than later. The wholeness we so fervently search for, is a half a blink away. It is more near than the very retina of the eye.

We are all free to live, love, let go, and leave at any time. What would the conditions be if you were to suddenly pass away? How did you show up; for yourself, for humanity, for the earth, for your purpose, in the crucible of relationship, & with the abyss of longing? Did you listen, did you ask good questions? One such question worth keeping close to the vest is: am I living in such a way, that today would be a good day to die? Death is the constant advisor, always offering instructions on the original gift, which is Presence, to be alive and awake while here, three-dimensionally so. Life is glorious and just as gritty, and it’s constantly leaving its mark on us. Let it leave its patina, we all have to gather the dark marks and stain, but in the doing so, we also discover the very meaningful meanders that offer us healing and enrichment. Rather than getting lost in our wounds, or even worse, getting lost in our own rage, we must get curious about how to waltz with our overwhelm, to extend a hospitality toward all the emotionally raw elements that try to tear us to pieces. The antidote to trauma is presence and celebration. To diverge from the moody companion of solitude, and to climb out of the abyss heartbreak, we have to sign ourselves up as liberation scientists, and artists of repair. There is work to be honored, and discovered, in the wholeing of every day. Be open to the dabbling, have a go of it, without fear of failure. Make eye contact with your truth. Meditation is an oasis in time. It’s a ticket to the other side of silence, to the silence inside of silence, and to the silence inside the roar. It’s a most amazing journey, with a most remarkable view. It starts by taking the light of your own awareness, mixed with alert relaxation, and building a fire with it, however minute or massive. We have to hold our own ambiguities for as long as is needed, until they open and emerge, and we can then walk them forward, as something else, as something more refined, and undeniably useful. We have to become skilled at opening up our own joys, and equally, we must become skilled at finding and utilizing the treasures that only the rupture can reveal. It’s this flavor of patience that allows us to join the conversation of service. Live today, with confidence, that if you were called away, it would be a good day to die. Lift your attitude up into the latitudes of unsurpassed passion. The kind of passion that illumines your entire mind, and furnish your life with as many kinds of this passion, so that you are filled to bursting. Follow the charge of your own impermanence, and see to the center of it.

Life is practicing on us, and life is precious, and oh so very short, and sometimes, shockingly fragile. Time doesn’t come back once it’s passed. The frequency you are following and the direction you are headed in, on the daily, determine nearly everything. Make your time here worthwhile, beneficial, positive. Don’t hoard fear. Where there is more love, there is less fear. Love today – Love tomorrow. Be a force for good. Be kind to what and whom you don’t understand. Give yourself permission to feel. Transform the outer world by doing the inner work on your own heart. Bring a clarity of consciousness, radical reverence, and applied intelligence to every moment and endeavor. Have discipline & coherence enough to tease apart your resistance. Sow synergy with the abstract and the concrete. Generate joy in all three time zones; past, present, and future. Practice the clean business of catching and growing the blessings that populate in your life. Pay attention to everything. Bring care, concern, and gratefulness into all your spheres of influence and into every location of service. Commune with your potential through your body, breath, words, projects, mantras, & laughter. Give your best. Never stop creating.

Our world is infinitely complex in this time, so for this qigong gathering you will discover the performative routine to be decidedly uncomplicated, designed to help you unfurl, like an intangible meander, flowing toward unapologetic joy. Moments of natural equilibrium & somatic symbiosis, for waking closer to presence. A necessary art of coming alive, of dynamic reverence, within the ecosystem of the body. Lift the veil and yoke the paradox of effort and grace. You are the CEO of your own essence & outlook. You are able to unconditionally embody wisdom in action and human dignity in form, so to maintain an unsurpassed passion for the gift of being alive.

The secret of our future is hidden in our daily routine. Everything we do today is building our tomorrow. What is here is a manifestation of the things we have already done. Remind yourself every day of who you are committed to becoming. Both our resistance and our awareness are corrosives. Resistance eats away at the power and prana of the moment, and awareness eats away at the bondage codes that prevent us from living fully. Use the practices in this Crisis Kit, to drain the brain of self sabotaging habituations, and activate the dormant energy in your mind body system, so as to enjoy clarity, confidence, and certainty. We use these systems of practice to shift the neurons in the brain toward empowerment and healing, so we can hear what’s being said in life, without the filter of our wounds, thereby becoming less impulsive and more instinctual. We are each put here, on the planet, for a certain number of breaths. Are we going to waste our time here, being addicted, or angry, divisive, or overly melancholic? Or, will we alight upon the privilege of being alive and as Glennon Doyle says “Do the next Right Thing, Together,” as an intergenerational community, accompanying each other on this long walk to freedom. When we practice, we consistently choose into something, and it is the repetition of this choice that, we face off and transform the contradicting frequencies that are generated by the scariest parts of our shadow. Open up into an expanded perceptual playing field, and feel more full and free, in the giving of what you are here to give.

There are 3 primary totem animals who stand up as our guides in this set: the dog, the turtle and the horse. Take this experience bone deep and finesse the transition from the thinking – doing mind, into the being mind. The aspect of mind that is capable of breaking through the spell of separation. The aspect of mind that knows it is a part of everything verses being apart from anything. The aspect of mind that is in a natural listening state, to the original, endogenous instructions, for a life of connection. Offer yourself a few lighthearted moment of dynamic practice, a few meaningful moments of no thought, like a dog in the waves, fully incarnated in his joy body, like a sea turtle following her instincts, as an awakening human, in direct rapport with a positioning system, no matter where you may find yourself.

One of the essential tenants of the practice, has to do with your engagement with emptiness. So often, so many of us are so concerned with the external world we forget that we are part of the ponderousness we call the void. We forget we have access to the frontal lobe, the part of the brain that allows us to create & cultivate change. Let your own willingness to feel, be a framework for finding a deeper freedom of being-ness, in the multitudes you contain. Feel into how you are being created by the very things you are compelled to create. Feel into the deepest level of sensations, that are in-fact, your quantum keys to catalyzing life-affirming changes in your body, life, and relationships. As light finds light, and feelings find meaning, let the somatic journey guide you to let out what is in, and to let your own expressiveness find you & fuel you, for the road ahead.
