2020 Vibrational Summary

It’s no accident that 2020 is associated with perfect vision. The glaring light of this year has exposed the underbelly of three major areas of life: health, power and our relationships. Like it or not, 2020 has revealed all for us to see.

With awareness comes opportunity. For those who were and are ready, this has been a time of reckoning and reconciliation. It’s been a time to evaluate and make changes where change is necessary.

The chaos isn’t over but neither are the opportunities to transform. Listen to the episode here.

Brain/Body Reset, Episode 15

The second law of thermodynamics states that any system put into isolation will increase its entropy (chaos). This is what happens when we hyper-focus on the thinking brain or neocortex. It’s so important to take brain breaks. Slow down your brain waves so your body can reset itself. Episode 15 of High Vibrational Life is a short meditation designed to reduce stress and bring the mind and body back into harmony.

The Energy of Desire

This is a frustrating time…

While I hope this finds you well, this pandemic has many of us on an emotional rollercoaster. Our desires are still alive and well but how do we bring them to fruition in a world that’s frozen in time?

The truth is there has never been a better time to activate your desires. But we live in a new world and the rules of the game have changed.

We are being called to create our lives in real time. In the old world, when life moved much slower, it worked to set a goal and slowly work toward it. Today’s world doesn’t give us the luxury of time so we must create what we want right now.

How do you do that? Let’s look to modern physics for the answer. We exist in a sea of waves that collapse into particles to become matter. To activate your desire in the present, simply let go of your idea of what your desire will look like (the particle) and focus on the feeling it will generate within you (the wave).

If you want health, take actions today that will bring more health into your body and relish in the feeling of your cells coming alive from a nutritious smoothie or a good workout.

If you want love. Love yourself. Love the tree at the end of your street. Love the people who are currently in your life. Bring your desires to life right now and in time, the outcome will delight and surprise you. Bottom line: We can’t control form (particles) but we can create waves.

Podcast Interview with R. Christian Minson

There has never been a better time to breathe…

I had the opportunity to interview one of the country’s foremost breathing teachers, R. Christian Minson. Christian was a monk for ten years and now works as a transformational breath teacher. He says that every emotion has a corresponding breath pattern. Profound.

Since the interview, I’ve noticed that whenever I’m subconsciously stressed and not even aware that I’m carrying a concern or worry, I tend to hold my breath! Not for an extended period of time but long enough for my body to release more stress hormones, which feeds a downward spiral that could easily be reversed through proper breathing!

To learn more about Transformational Breath or the therapeutic nature of breathing in general, tune into this interview on Youtube or on the High Vibrational Life podcast on Spotify, iTunes or wherever you like to listen to podcasts.

An Interview with Adrian Bejan

I had the opportunity to interview Adrian Bejan who is the father of the constructal law, otherwise known as the physics of life. This is the law of flow that animates all of nature, including us.

Professor Bejan is a modern-day Einstein and interviewing him was a pleasure indeed.

Self-forgiveness and Healing

I don’t know anyone who’s not reeling from the heaviness of 2020. It’s a time of intense transformation to be sure. I see it as a crumbling of what no longer works and an opportunity to create a better world. We all have a part in elevating society but it’s hart to rise up if we’re carrying a heavy emotional load. Self-forgiveness is key. Once we forgive ourselves, we can boldly do our part in putting eh pieces if our society back together.

Today I spontaneously recorded a podcast episode on self-forgiveness and healing. You can listen here or any podcast platform that you like.

The Bright Side of Transformation

Accelerated change is our new normal. The transformation that we are currently experiencing goes way beyond quarantine—life as we know it is changing and it’s not slowing down anytime soon. So how do we keep our center amid transformation?

The first step is to understand the nature of transformation and its essential function to keep life flowing. For any aspect of nature to exist over time, it must go through periodic transformations where the old is replaced by the new.

There are two types of transformation: organic and forced. Organic transformation is the natural unfolding of one of the landscapes of your life (relationships, job, habits) based on persistent effort and what I like to think of as radical authenticity. In other words, you show up as the most honest version of yourself and life unfolds accordingly. We delay transformation every time we engage in excessive people-pleasing while silencing ourselves. We also avoid or delay organic transformation when we procrastinate instead of doing what we know we know we need to do to move our lives forward.

Forced transformation, on the other hand, occurs when one of the landscapes of your life is abruptly destroyed or taken away. In this case, the energy that was previously expressed into that landscape has nowhere to go. When this happens, we feel a little lost, like, “what do I do now?”

The Coronavirus has led society into a forced transformation. Almost everyone has experienced the abrupt closure of at least one landscape in their life. Even those who are still working can no longer go to restaurants or the gym. There may be close relationships that are experiencing social distancing. What do we do with this energy that was previously flowing into these areas?

Here’s where we get to the bright side of transformation. In the case of the abrupt closure of one or more landscapes in your life, you are gifted with the time, energy and perspective to evaluate how fulfilling that landscape (relationship, job, habit) was.  Fulfillment is the direct result of flow. If in retrospect, a particular landscape was not fulfilling, you might want to take a look at where it wasn’t flowing. Did you feel safe enough to show up as the most authentic version of yourself? Was there a dysfunctional dynamic that prevented you from speaking your truth? Was the habit adding value to your life or simply you behaving on autopilot?

When you evaluate your life from this elevated perspective, you have an opportunity to redirect your energy toward organic transformation and carve out new landscapes that not only fulfill you but lead to increased purpose and flow in all areas of your life.

Episode 6: The Fear Virus

There is something called forced transformation. When a person or society ignores themselves for too long the energy of life that has been speaking in that still small voice erupts and shoves us against the wall. What we are going through is a mass reorganization orchestrated by life. In my last podcast episode, I talk about the silver lining of this societal shutdown. Now is our time to be still. To listen. To honor ourselves at a deeper level. And to honor each other. It’s our time to see how the sky clears up when we don’t drive as much. A time to allow our own creative juices to percolate to the surface and drive our lives forward in a way that’s meaningful.

Episode 4: Power in the New World

We have entered a new world—one that is highly connected, accelerated and transparent. And the rules of the game are changing right before our eyes.

Each of us has to decide for ourselves how we want to power our lives forward, but in a world permanently on fast forward, those who choose flow power are those who will rise to the top.

Flow is the power current of the new world. Jeremy Heimans and Henry Timms released a great book in 2018 called New Power. The book contrasts current-based power with currency-based power. The authors are focused on the use of social media to move society forward but the metaphors of current and currency apply to individuals as well.

Current-based power is grounded in science and embedded in all of nature. If we examine the laws of physics, biology, and electricity, we will find that each relies on flowing currents rather than an exchange of currency. Nature is powerful because of the currents running through it and we are no different.

Here are the new laws of power:

1.    Sustainable power is generated not consumed

2.    Energy is required for flow and flow is the source of power

3.    Purpose-driven contribution keeps us in the flow cycle

4.    Flow = Energy + Mastery

5.    What we give is what we receive

Love big and you are love. Create powerfully and you are a powerful creator. Practice your craft and mastery will carry you forward. Power in the new world flows from the inside-out not the outside-in.

Sure, we can choose to consume, buy or manipulate our way into a position of power but our transparent and accelerated world can strip it way in a nanosecond, which leaves us shivering on the inside and puffed up on the outside.

In short, power in the new world belongs to lovers, creators and those who persist in moving toward mastery. What we create can never be taken away. Life is a process and every moment holds an opportunity to generate something meaningful.

Episode 2: The Power of Vibrational Choice

We live in a sea of energy where all vibrations exist simultaneously. We get to choose what to tune into the same way we get to choose what station to listen to on the radio. This episode explores three ways to raise our vibe, especially when we’ve caught someone else’s negativity or feel stuck in lower vibrational energy.
