Years of exploration have lead me to discover 2 powerful things at the heart of every high experience: HUMAN ENERGY and PLAY! Now I share these tools with you!
I talk a lot about effortless energy and some people think that means I don't know anything about effort.. but really I promote the easy way because of all the unneeded effort and pain I’ve already been through
Look forward to the cultivation of energy and and the rise of joy that comes of being with people in the present moment, look forward to the benefits of that joy
Focus less on the tangible things or pleasures you don't have and look forward to the rise of joy that comes of being with others in the present and the cultivation of humor and inner wellness
Sometimes solving intriguing puzzles in my mind helps relax my body, like "what is best to do tomorrow" or "how could that movie have been better" or "what's a creative way to beat this challenge" approach puzzles with calm curious joy
People play dance fun adventure freedom nature art creativity: are sources of fulfillment, different from consumptive pleasures, feeding off these activities actually connects us to true self, a healthy addiction
I allow the fun that happens around me to light up the fun hotspots in my mind, ideas and memories that bring electric joy, nature feeds inner soul, soul attracts people
We feel guilty like we don't deserve the love, we feel unworthy, we have something to prove, so we don't take in the love the light that is all around us, we need that love like oxygen and water, relax and take it in!
Fulfilling things like play and dance nature people and art sports are different from ideal fantasies or material pleasure; there are healthy 'fulfillers' out there, learn the difference
When love isn't found in pleasure or external validation we next look to spiritual devotion or exercise, be carful not to be to hard on yourself, sometimes we get too serious and forget to have fun
Pain is such a part of our reality, yet compassion and understanding for it feels lost sometimes; kindness to pain is the gateway to connection and long life
