FOD #3 Dr. Katina Manning is a Bad Ass

This past weekend I was able to attend BGI-3 in Chicago. BGI stands for Bio-Geometric Integration and is an approach within chiropractic that uses the sacred geometry of the body to access stored potential within a living system. What makes it different? "BGI is different in many ways. Here are a few of the key differences. BGI presents a new paradigm in chiropractic by integrating contemporary, nonlinear science with the vitalistic philosophy of chiropractic, bringing an understanding of mastery to the art of chiropractic. Clinically it provides an opportunity to deepen the chiropractor’s hands-on skills, no matter the technique utilized. BGI presents a geometric model of the body, incorporating concepts of tensegrity, biodynamics, and force dynamics, that allows to practitioner to work with the body as an integrated whole, refining the adjustment, and increasing the overall effectiveness." - http://www.bgiseminars.com/

At this seminar I received one of the best adjustments of my life from Dr. Katina Manning. Following the adjustment I was able to snag this interview for Adjusting Ninjas...

I highly recommend you check her out. She's a Bad Ass. Plain and simple. http://www.wellspringchiropractic.org/

FOD #2 The Golden Rule... It's Golden

Most of us have heard the Golden Rule,"treat others as you would like to be treated." But, how Golden is the Golden Rule? Let's look at what some of the world's religions have to say about it.

1. Buddhism: Hurt no others in way that you yourself would find hurtful. (Udana-Varga 5,1)
2. Christianity:  All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye so to them; for this is the law of the prophets. (Matthew 7:11)
3. Confucianism:  Do not do to others what you would not like yourself. Then there will be no resentment against you either in the family or in the state. (Analects 12:2)
4. Hinduism: This is the sum of duty; do naught onto others what you would not have them do unto you. (Mahabharata 5:1517)
5. Islam:  No one of you is a believer until he desires for his brother that which he desires for himself. (Sunnah)
6. Judaism:  What is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow man. This is the entire Law; all the rest is commentary. (Talmud, Shabbat 3id)
7. Taois:  Regard your neighbor’s gain as your gain, and your neighbor’s loss as your own loss. ( Tai Shang Kan Yin P’ien)
8. Zoroastrianism:  That Nature alone is good which refrains from doing another whatsoever is not good for itself. (Dadisten-I-dinik, 94:5)

If you have come to the realization that we are all ONE, the Golden Rule makes perfect sense. We should not treat others different than we would be like to be treated because they are part of us and we are part of them. By loving and serving our fellow brother and sister we contribute to humanity and increase our very own karmic field.

Living by the Golllldddden Rule, Brett J.

 

FOD #1 The Heart's Field

The heart's electromagnetic activity is 5,000 times more powerful than the brain's electromagnetic field. "Instruments have been designed that detect a beating heart's powerful electric and magnetic fields METERS away from it's source." -Spontaneous Evolution.

In Chinese medicine the heart is known as "the center of wisdom", and in ancient Vedic tradition the heart is the mediator between Heaven and Earth. There must be something to it...."If there was ever a gateway between the above and the below, the heart chakra would certainly be it." -Spontaneous Evolution

HeartMath researchers discovered that, "when subjects focus attention on the heart and activate a core heart feeling, such as love, appreciation, or caring, these emotions immediately shift their heartbeat into rhythms into a more coherent pattern." These coherent patterns have numerous beneficial systemic effects on the body, even including the release of DHEA an anti-aging hormone.

For more information about amazing studies being done on the heart and the field please go to heartmath.com

Leading with the heart, Brett

QOD #7 What does it take to become successful?

Answer: There are 7 steps: 1)Dreaming 2)Desiring 3)Daring 4)Beginning 5)Expectation 6) Affirmation 7)Waiting

One of my biggest mentors, Dr. Sid E. Williams, delivered a "7 steps to Success." talk at his very last appearance at Dynamic Essentials. In 12 minutes, Sid laid down the blueprint for manifesting success. I personally listened to this audio every morning for nearly 6 months. It started to get to the point where I could recite the talk nearly word for word and everything I would say began to have that southern drawl :)

Southern accent or not, being able to integrate these steps into my life has played a pivotal role in my personal development. I have since taken this audio recording and typed up the manuscript. If you would like to be sent these 7 steps laid out point by point please subscribe and message me your e-mail.

Also, if you don't know who Eric Thomas is, please go to YouTube and check out some of his stuff. POWERFUL. 

In cultivating success, Brett

QOD #6 If the Universe requires balance, will the "good" you put into the world always be opposed by the "bad" of someone else?

Answer: Yes... but only until shift happens

Superheroes and Villains. Light side vs. the Dark side. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and the Foot clan...The dichotomy between good and evil is both a recurring recipe for blockbuster success and a representation of how the universe is is providing balance through opposing forces. For every crime there is an act of peace. For every victory a tragedy. AMMA gives hugs, kids sold drugs. Cultivating organic soil, blood spilled over oil. And so on, and so on.

If the good we do is always countered by someone else's dirty deeds, why even try?

This balance only remains until we reach a breaking point. Unfortunately, history tells us that this shift has usually been marked by a mass extinction. Believe it or not, there have been 5 mass extinctions to current date. http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/extinction_events

Leading experts say we are in the midst of our sixth extinction now. But, what if we didn't have to hit rock bottom to evolve?  Non-sustainable lifestyles do not have to persist. We have the CHOICE to acknowledge the rotten path we are going down and CHOOSE to go another route. Please allow me to introduce the concepts of Spontaneous Evolution/ Critical Mass/ Tipping Point/ and Zero Point-Energy. When a large enough amount of people collectively come together with a common purpose, shift is possible.

So, what collective idea can we get behind? What will we choose to support? And what will it take to get us there?

Sounds like questions for a future QOD.

In awakening consciousness, Brett J.

QOD #5 Why do we seek love?

Answer: Love allows us to be our true and authentic self.

When life can be full of indecision and uncertainty, it's understandable why one would build walls like Berlin to keep the fascist heart-breakers out. However, there is a source within us that continually looks to relinquish control, tear those walls down, and reveal the goofy people we really are. Let's get real, it's common knowledge that everyone laughs at farts in the bathtub, has danced in the mirror...naked, and sometimes dreams of being able to fight Chuck E. Cheese.

Now,  there may be half-likes but there sure as hell are no half-loves. Love is 100%. Love is certain. You are either all-in, or all-out. When all-in, love can be all-amazing. When all-out, you develop an excellent understanding to why "there is a thin line between love and hate." This natural emotional polarity makes love one of the strongest forces of the universe.

Truth is, sometimes it's hard to see something in the world that you're willing to risk it all for. So, we continually seek the person/moment/time that will blow our hearts wide open to and allow us to put down our daily armor. Love is Surrender. We seek love because love is the purest form of truth we are ever going to get.


With Goofy-ness, Brett

QOD #4 How do you find love?

Answer: Love is not found but attracted to those who have prepared their vessel to be love-able.

In order to be loved, you must start by loving yourself. One who is love-able has spent the time getting clear on who they are and have value for what they have to offer to the world. Our inner-value reflects our outer-value. Until you can look yourself in the mirror and say, "I love you", don't expect anyone else to look you in the eye and tell you either.

For those searching for love within a relationship, one of the most profound questions I have ever heard was, "Would you date yourself?" But seriously, would you? It's imperative to stop pointing the blame finger. We cannot expect love and respect by others if we don't have love and respect for ourselves.

How do I begin to fall in love with myself? Sounds like a question for a future QOD :)

In being Love-Able, Brett J.

"You don't find love. Love finds you after you've cleared your conscience completely." - Dr. Sid E. Williams
