A couple weeks ago I launched an article called “How to Cockblock the Universe from Giving you Everything you Want in Life.” Well because of that article I have since been asked to be a guest on Oprah, Ellen and I’m getting my own Reality TV Show! Crazy, right!?

Okay now that I have your attention, I can tell you that none of that is actually true … However for some reason the Cockblocking Article I created resonated with thousands of people around the world! I was laughing at how many emails I received from people confessing to be Cockblockers! So if you’re a cockblocker or you know someone who cockblocks the Universe from giving them or you the fun, joy-filled, abundant, expansive, hilarious and blissful life that they & you deserve, then you’re gonna laugh to ‘enlighterment’ as you read this BIGGER, Longer & Uncut sequel list of Cockblocking strategies that’ll surely sabotage all your dreams from coming true! Enjoy…and then change that shit!

Dim your Light…It’s important that you don’t shine too brightly in the world, otherwise you might make other people feel uncomfortable or bad about themselves and that’d just be rude!

Talk about everything that’s wrong in the world… I really don’t think enough people know about what the problems are in the world so do them a favor and put some extra energy into complaining about all that stuff that’s just not right. But don’t stop at the world’s problems, harness that negative power and focus on how everything in your life is going wrong too!

Do NOTHING to stand up for what is right…It’s never a good idea to stick up for what you believe in. That can only lead to disagreements and uncomfortable situations that cause you to grow. So next time you see something wrong in the world, look the other way, change the subject or turn on a re-run of Seinfeld! Phew, dodged that bullet…

Give your power to others…Who do you think you are trying to be an empowered human being? I recommend waiting for the government or someone else; anyone for that matter, to come fix your life and make things right! In the meantime just wait impatiently on the couch for something to change…Shame on you for trying to ‘unsuppress your awesomeness.’

Believe something’s wrong with you…Carrying guilt, shame and heaviness with you throughout your life because of some unTruth someone said about you when you were like 4 years old is a SURE WIN to successfully cockblocking the Universe from giving you your desires…Pile on the heaviness and always agree with those who say bad about you!

Hang out with people who really bring you down…They say we are most like the 5-10 people we spend the majority of our time with. So be sure to pick the most miserable, complaining, unmotivated group of people to hang out with and have contests to see who can ‘poo-poo’ on life the most!

Blame, Blame, Blame, Blame, Blame…Remember, it’s life and everyone else’s fault that things are the way they are, so don’t let them ever forget that…it’s them and their stuff, never you and yours’!

Work a job you totally hate…It is noble to work a job you hate, so keep it up. Be sure to hold onto your belief that there’s no other way. Cuz if you start believing you can do what you love and make money too, you may just start having fun. That’d be horrible, right!? But don’t worry, you only have another 20, 30 or is it 40 years til retirement? Then and only then can you have some fun!

Listen to really low vibing music… Since vibration and words are so powerful at affecting our health and state of being, do your self a favor and listen to what will be sure to keep you in the lowest or most irritating vibration possible. Gangster rap and heavy metal are my faves!

Eat processed, GMO and fast foods… These foods are perfect for draining your life force. Mmmmmmm, the taste of slow death has never tasted so good or looked so pretty … well, sort of!

Allow others to control your destiny…Listening to the dreams of others and embodying them as your own will create a false vision for your future that will be unfulfilling and impossible to reach. This will cause heartache, misery and constant disappointment in your life…HOORAY!

Keep yourself overly busy…Don’t just be busy, keep yourself frantically busy and go until you crash! Maintaining this state of panic and reaffirming that there’s not enough time for you is a great way to ensure a downward spiral in your health and happiness. Good one!Don’t listen to your body…Your body is a stupid machine that doesn’t know anything, right? Instead of tuning in and listening to the innate wisdom of your body when something feels ‘off,’ just go to your local pill-peddler…cuz if it’s numb there’s nothing wrong!

Live a drama filled life…Drama doesn’t just waste your time and energy, it also keeps life ‘interesting.’

Call yourself a stupid Cockblocker as you read all these strategies for Cockblocking … Affirmations are a powerful way to shape your reality. So re-affirm over and over again that you are indeed a Cockblocker…and don’t ever let your subconscious forget it!

Patience be damned…Expect everything to happen exactly when you want it to. (this one submitted by Joanne at Cowabunga Life)

Seriously though folks, these cockblocker lists are meant to bring some fun, lightness and humor to our healing journeys (just like a picture of me wearing purple underpants giving two thumbs up) … So stop taking yourself & life so goshdarn serious (if you are). We’ve all got some inner work to do and we can either do the work through laughter and humor or tears and anger…you pick. I find I let go of the stuff that doesn’t serve a whole me a whole lot quicker when I strip it’s power away by giggling at the silliness of it all. I hope these Cockblocking Articles have shone some light on some stuff you’re ready to let go of and at the same time, added a little more laughter to this funny human experience called Life!

You are a total miracle of God or the Creator of all that is…so stop believing all the other bullshit those voices say about yourself and have some fun. You’re made of love and that IS that!

Perhaps as you read this ridiculous (but sometimes True) list you’ll realize you’re doing at least one or more things that Cockblock the Universe from giving you what you want. And IF YOU ARE being a cockblock, I hope you’ll have a good laugh and then make the positive changes that are needed in order to let the love and abundance in! Also, if you happen to know someone who cockblocks themselves and their dreams, perhaps you’ll be a good friend and send them this article!

Please Be Aware:

–>  YES this is meant to be funny!

–>  YES it’s funny because we (humans) actually do these things sometimes  in order to live in separation & struggle!

–>  YES I don’t recommend you follow these instructions at all!

–>  YES each of the 11 methods for stopping, blocking and avoiding the Universes assistance to delivering what your heart really desires have probably been tried, tested and proven to work by ‘yours truly’ (me) at some point or another …

Enjoy and please share your favorite Cockblocking Technique down below…

So here we go …. 11 Ways to Cockblock the Universe from Giving you Everything you Truly want in Life!!!

1)  Always tell yourself you can’t do something before ever even trying…The smart thing to do is stop yourself at ‘the good idea’ and save yourself the hassle of ever even trying. If you catch yourself thinking about trying, just remember to give your power to all those nagging excuses in the back of your mind!

2)  Be sure to give up on yourself the moment you can’t figure something out…If you can’t figure something out the first time around, clearly it’s a divine sign from the Universe that it’s just not meant to be. Give up now before you waste another moment figuring this shit out!

3)  Never be open to help…Seeking out answers elsewhere or asking for guidance is a bad idea! Remember what those spiritual guys said, “The answers are within you,” which means everyone else must be wrong

4)  Burn every bridge you cross…By stepping on toes and burning bridges with others you’ll be forced into living a life of seclusion and loneliness.  Before moving on to the next person be sure to squeeze every last drop out of them before.  Take, take take!

5)  Get totally fixated on doing it ‘your way,’ rather than the ‘best way’…It is healthy to be confident, so don’t let anyone share their ideas or persuade you from veering off course by thinking of a ‘better, easier way’ to do something. If you catch yourself opening up, just remember your way is the only way so tell them to be quiet & leave you alone!

6)  Do things for the money…Screw doing what you love, that could only lead to happiness and freedom, which is not the goal here.  It’s all about the benjamins baby!

7)  Really criticize yourself when you make a mistake…Being critical, name calling, belittling and putting yourself down will only make you stronger and wiser…..right? Be sure to really kick your own ass (especially for the small things) and put the pressure on to be perfect all the time!

8)  Worry and stress about everything…Worrying and being stressed all the time will surely help you be more productive and focused so be sure to make everything out to be a bigger deal than it is. I mean, in this infinitely expanding Universe, clearly your problem is the biggest one!

9)  Don’t share your ideas, inspirations, passions or Truth…By sharing with others people will find out just how awesome and brilliant you are and your plan to sabotage all your dreams from coming true will epically fail!

10)  Do NOT take Any Action…Taking action requires energy. It is better to conserve your energy for breathing, eating and weighing down the couch. If the inspiration to do something productive strikes, just turn on an infomercial and crank up the volume!

11)  Never ever listen to your intuition…Listening to your intuition is one of the biggest ways to letting the Universe give you everything you want in Life, so whatever you do DON’T DO THAT!!

WARNING…

By doing the opposite of what each of the 11 instructions above guide you to do, you will indeed find yourself allowing in the support of the entire Universe with more ease and grace than ever before. Other side effects may include happiness, divine creativity, unlimited abundance, uncontrollable laughter, outbursts of joy and complete & total Awesomeness!

Live your Awesomeness!

Oh yes, vacation. That thing that most of the world works 48 to 50 grueling weeks or 2000+ hours per year for, right? Why do we does this?? Why do so many humans bust their ass ALL year long for these couple weeks of exhale just to do it all over again? Is that not the definition of insanity?

I’ve been an entrepreneur since 2005 and in 2007 after an awakening moment I committed to living my life and ONLY building businesses or working on projects that are fun, fulfilling, for a greater purpose and help me check things off my bucket list along the way. Well, we’re now in 2012 and I have lived that commitment everyday since and because of it, I’ve built my meditation and Spiritual Adventure company Cowabunga Life, I’ve traveled all over the world, taught thousands of people how to build a fun meditation practice and now I’m creating comedy videos online to help people “laugh themselves to enlightenment!” I fricken LOVE my life so much!!!

How have I created this for my life and how can you do it for yours’? To show you, I broke it down as easily as I possibly could with the seven simple tips below … I recommend that if your life IS NOT all that you wished it was you follow these steps to a tee and start making the necessary small changes today and everyday until you too love your life more than you could imagine. You deserve that type of happiness…

SEVEN THINGS you do when on a vacation:

–>  You relax, let go and chill,

–>  You go on adventures, play and have fun,

–>  You give your body the rest you need,

–>  You go places you wouldn’t normally go,

–>  You stop talking about all the things you want or need to do & you actually do them,

–>  You don’t worry about your job or stress about money,

–>  You check things off your bucket list,

SEVEN TIPS to Live like you’re on Vacation:

1. Take a daily peace pause … step away, unplug, relax and connect back to you … meditation helps with this (listen to the meditation below)!

2. Play everyday in the best way you can … hang out with kids (like really hang with them & get into their world), go to some laughter yoga classes, take play therapy if you were suppressed as a kid, hang out with me or be courageous enough to be goofy and make an ass of yourself!! 

3. Listen to your body, rest when it needs to & stop burning yourself out!

4. Venture off the beaten path, check out a new place every week, eat at new restaurants, take a new street home & say yes to new adventures!

5. Quit procrastinating and build the life you truly want, one day at a time … talking about what you want wastes time and energy … Dive in and do it, the only way you can screw up is by doing nothing at all!

6. Ask yourself this, “Does my worrying actually solve any of my problems? If you aren’t inspired about your life, you dis-like your job, you talk behind co-workers backs or you’re constantly stressed about money then try this one simple step … STOP IT (hahaha) & TRY THIS: Do what you love, love what you do and start healing your relationship with money and ‘work’ today! It will save you a whole lot of stress in the long run!

7. Do at least 5 things per week that make you come alive (watch video below)!

DO any or all of those 7 steps and your life will keep getting better and more fun!

(Below is a picture of Water Crystals when Exposed to Different Energy)

A smart dude by the name of Alberto Einstein said,  “energy is everything,” right?  Another smart brother by the name of Masuru Emoto has proven that our thoughts, feelings and words; positive or negative, cause a cellular breakdown or build up.  Basically, they make us stronger or weaker!  So now we know, our thoughts, feelings, stuff, things, self and everything else in the Universe is…….ENERGY!  This takes me to my next point…

Many of our most ancient Spiritual traditions incorporated (& still do) a practice of chanting or song in their many forms of ceremony, prayer and Spiritual practice.  The monks chant, yogis chant, aboriginal people chant, Native Americans chant, I chant and now I think you’re getting the pattern here!  So I’ll tie this all into a pretty bow for ya…Chanting is what?  ENERGY!!!

So read the part below real slow, twice…cuz something’s gonna click!

So chanting is energy and all the highly connected, enlightened people and cultures of our world have been doing it for eons as a way to raise their vibes and connect to the Divine, right?  And energy is everything and sound has the power to actually transform the molecules in water, right!?  And our body is made up mostly of water right!!?  So how much could a regular practice of sound healing or chanting improve your health, your connection to the divine, your energy levels and manifestation abilities!!

Now it’s Time to Watch the Video Below

 “Brad’s meditation workshop was hugely helpful in developing my own home practice. As much as I like guided meditations, the truth of the matter is that I don’t have room in my life to meditate on someone else’s schedule. Being equipped with the tools to build my own daily practice gives me no excuse *not* to do it. Brad is one of the most genuinely joyful people I have ever met. His sincere desire to help you live a life that’s “cooler than cool” is inspiring and encouraging, and his honest and truthful approach to meditation removes any pressure to be “perfect” that can come with other programs. Thanks for sharing yourself Brad, you really are making the world a better place!”

___________________________________________________________________________________________

Why did I create this workshop?

To me, meditation has been the main catalyst game-changer in my life that has helped me to wake up faster, move through my challenges with more grace and awareness and plain and simple, HAVE MORE FUN!

I observe and am friends with so many gifted people who are running circles in their lives because

A) they’re ungrounded, stuck in old patterns that don’t serve and they’re floating through life totally ‘out of their bodies,’

OR

B) they are disconnected from their intuitions, which stops them from moving forward in the highest and best ways,

OR

C) they experience crazy energy dips because they don’t have a regular, self-restorative practice.

My intention is to guide you through a process where you will embody some of the oldest traditions of meditation’s most simple and powerful techniques to build your own daily practice…..THAT ACTUALLY WORKS!!

By the end of the workshop you will see how possible this is and how meditation can be such a fun part of your day, which you actually look forward to.

My SEVEN promises when you complete this workshop

1st Promise: You will have a SIMPLE & CLEAR meditation practice to play with everyday that you look forward to. 

2nd Promise: You will have learned, practiced and embodied some of the most powerful self directed techniques available in meditation.

3rd Promise: You will know how to access your intuitive gifts.

4th Promise: You will feel more grounded, connected, in your body and aware than you have for a long time (if ever) and best of all, you’ll have the tools to maintain that state of Being from now on.  

5th Promise: You will know how to cleanse, clear and tune your own chakras for better health.

6th Promise: You will have 100 BIG enough reasons to meditate everyday that will over power your ego’s resistance, excuses and desires to ‘get around to it later.’ 

7th Promise: You will laugh, You will smile, You will have FUN!

“The freedom, confidence, clarity, enthusiasm, release and support I experienced was amazing.”

Whitney Hobbs, Victoria BC

“Also, the tools to take with me into the world, the knowledge of his years of experience and the support of follow up were invaluable resources that come into my life in perfect timing.“

____________________________________________________________________________________________

“I encourage anyone who has the least bit of interest in reconnecting with their inner power through meditations or other means to get onto Brad.”

Rutger Scherrenberg,  Amsterdam

“For the last three plus months I have been meditating more frequently, now I am up to twice a day most days.  Two weeks ago I realised how much the experience has deepened when I was doing the Deep Chakra Cleanse…Just this week I have gotten to the point where I have started doing my own meditations, rather than Brad’s audio meditations. This goes to show the power of what you do Brad, you are helping people open to their inner power. I am ever so grateful to you for putting your work out there and I encourage anyone who has the least bit of interest in reconnecting with their inner power through meditations or other means to see to Brad.”

Brad is an amazing facilitator in helping people find their direction and stretching your comfort zones to expand awareness, purpose, and unconditional joy. This workshop is WORTH ITTT!!!!!!!!!!!! Follow your heart and do it!”

Freedom is felt when freely flowing moment to moment with simple gratitude for where the waves takes us.  The expectations we carry smother the possibilities that are trying to bloom and blossom.  Pure intentions open the heart and mind to receive the fullness of the experience.

Wanting more than what already IS leaves us unhappy, unfulfilled and unsatisfied.  We can’t be where we are NOT, we can only be here in what is REAL now.  Fighting against what IS causes us to miss the gifts that are right here, right now.

If peace is what you want, then drop the expectations of how you think it should be, release selfish desires of “wanting more for me” and find gratitude for all that IS.  This will set your heart free. 

Then when we are in this open space within ourselves creativity is a natural state of being and inspiration will stirke in many moments.  There is no more searching.  From that space of peace and possibility, rather than emptiness and neediness our best works will be created.  And because of our detachment to the outcome, they will also be our most successful.

In meditation if we expect silence or peace we will get neither but if we come into it with pure intentions to experience what’s in our highest good, then we will.  In our relationships if we place high expectations over another, they will constantly fall short leaving us disappointed.  When creating, if our expectations are to become rich, famous or loved for our work, then it loses its’ purity and value and likely will create none of those results.

Our expectations cause us to manipulate, struggle and push to have things or see things in a certain way…not always serving.  When we open up and intend the highest good for us and all, there is an innocence and acceptance that comes through and we are able to find the gifts, the gratitude, the lessons and the good in all situations…

In the words of the Rolling Stones, “You can’t always get what you want but if you try sometimes, well you might find, you get what you need!” 

Believe it or not, 6 years ago I was sound asleep in my life.  I was a walking zombie, living for me and not giving a shit about much else.  After a rapid mind-expanding experience (see this story for more on that) with my first Spiritual teacher I went home for the holidays.  Because I had experienced so much in such a short period of time, I was confused and really questioning if the mystical experiences I witnessed and participated in were actually ‘real.’

One night my buddies and I were driving to the erotic dance bar several towns over (shows ya how far I’ve come, right?)…So there we were, the six of us piled into a little tiny Tracker Jeep flying down the back roads for a fun night out.  Just as  we just finished smoking two rocket doobies a little white bunny ran out in front of us.  Thankfully our sober driver had enough time to slow down to avoid hitting the little critter.  That’s when things got interesting….

As my buddy slowed down, the bunny stayed in front of us.  Running about 25 mph, weaving back and forth between the headlights of our jeep.  Back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.  As my friend honked his horn, flashed his lights and even turned them off at one point  (not a good idea) the little bunny just stayed in front of us, not giving any space for us to pass.  This went on for a couple minutes…and we were laughing hysterically because it was so surreal and funny.

Finally after a couple minutes the little white bunny dashed into the ditch and disappeared into the darkness.  As we trekked on, the laughter finally calmed down.  Then something happened….As we were climbing a hill and just coming to the top, a speeding car in our lane who was passing another vehicle was coming right for us.  Just in time, he weaved back into his own lane and missed us…probably by a second or less.

I knew instantly that the crazy waskely wabbit was sent by greater forces of nature.  It was a gift of Life, sent from the heavens.  It was the message I was praying for.  Everything I experienced up until this point, I knew was real.  It was time to leave my old life behind.  I knew my path was blessed and I was on this planet to make big changes happen.  That was a pinnacle turning point in my life which catalyzed me to be who and where I am today.  Since then, I have been aware of MANY omens like that…sometimes through dreams, others clear as day like that one.  They are all appreciated.

I love the way the Universe communicates these messages.  The white bunny, representing the Divine.  Running between the headlights…communicating to me ‘to stay in the light.’  The near run-in with death.  It was all so powerful!!   The Universe is ALWAYS communicating with us, we just have to create a practice of knowing what to ask for and listening.  What is your practice?  In need of a powerful practice? Email me then…

DO YOU ENJOY READING STORIES?   Do you have a mystical experience you’d like to share? Write your comments and stories below!!  We all have so much value and wisdom to provide each other….

I have been working hard on the fundraiser for my Aunt to help her walk again, which has taken up a great deal of time. My beloved got news of her father passing, so I have been holding space for her to grieve & process that.  My finances haven’t been flowing as abundantly for whatever reason so I had to take on some part time work, which pays a lot less and eats away at a lot more time.  While all of this has been going on, I have also been holding space for the Peru trip to unfold (and it HAS!).  And on top of this, finding time for myself, my friends, my Spiritual practice and my golf game once in a while….None of this is a complaint, it’s just to share the many directions I’m going  (I’m sure you can relate).

How do we stay Grounded in ‘what is Real’ when shits not going our way & life is busy?

This entire experience has been a blessing in so many ways for me, aside from the massive personal growth I’ve been moving through.  From it  I have developed a powerful new meditation practice for myself.  It is really helping me to gain clarity, profound insight and a deep state of groundedness in a short period of time each day.

It revolves around asking the question WHAT IS REAL?  When we ask ourselves this simple & powerful question (again and again) our sub conscious mind begins searching for the Truth,  just as Google would.  As our illusions get thrown into the trash bin of our mind the Truth eventually appears right before us…this has been the case for me a lot lately.  Deep DEEP healings my friends.  Honestly, what is more valuable than TRUTH! 

The answers don’t necessarily come immediately in the meditation…more often they appear magically in my day-to-day interactions and experiences

So here’s the Meditation…

1. Set a timer for 10, 20, or 30+ minutes…whatever feels right.

2. Sit somewhere wonderful.

3. Breathe deep breaths ALL the way to the bottom of your belly through the mouth. On your inhales ask yourself WHAT IS REAL?

4. Hold the breath for a few moments.

5. Then exhale through your mouth (slowly) all of the thoughts, lies and illusions that your mind makes up.

6. Hold the breath for a few moments.

7. Repeat this simple process the entire period of time you’ve set for yourself.

8. (don’t worry if you think…cuz you will…just keep focused on breathing deep & slow, while asking the question)

It is our responsibility to do everything we can to remain healthy and grounded here and now.  I hope this meditation helps with that for you!  The whole world is changing so rapidly. THE TIME IS NOW TO GET GROUNDED – As Elvis would say, we’re gettin’ all shook up!

Infinite Blessings to you Brother Sister of the Cosmos.

Cowabunga Namaste!

Clearly there is some sort of human revolution taking place on our planet right now with the thousands of protests for Peace & Equality.  This is totally awesome and about time!  In my observation of the events unfolding, I see a whole lot of blaming, shaming and judging going on.  I believe we need to stop pointing our fingers ‘at those guys,’ the one percent and start pointing them back on ourselves….

We are the ones who are voting with our money every time we spend.  Those “Greedy Corporations” are only as big as they are because we keep paying them our hard earned money.  We are just as much responsible for the state of our World.  ‘They’ have just cleverly learned how to work the system for themselves.  To ask or demand ‘those people’ to stop being greedy is a lost cause. They’re not just going to say ‘okay’ and roll over for us.   As the 99% we have to stop playing small and pretending as though we have no power and they have it all.  All the judging and blaming just creates resistance and tension.  It makes us weak inside. No positive change will happen if this is how we go about asking for it.  I believe we need to take our 99% vote and carve a whole new path, with new systems in place.  But first we need to take responsibility for our actions as individuals to see the True change begin.

Right now we are seeing a reality check for us humans.  Every penny we spend is a representation of our Life Energy. Every dollar we make & spend, we are trading our Life for.   Are the cars, planes, big houses, fancy toys and all that jazz really worth trading our lives for?  One Mercedes equals approximately 1,600+ hours of your Life IF you’re making $50 per hour!!!  We’ve destroyed most of our planet chasing after the illusion of ‘the American Dream’ and discovered there’s nothing there but a big, empty, dark, smelly hole.  So now what?

NOW WE GET CLEAR!

The occupy movements are still asking for A LOT to change and clearly a lot needs to change.  It’s great that the people are raising our voices but if we really want change, the way is not through demanding governments to change everything for us.  The power is and always has been in THE PEOPLE.  We need to cleanse our spending habits, reassess what’s truly important to us, forgive those who have caused us harm, heal our bitter hearts and change the world within our own Being and household.  If we stop giving our money to the largest corporations of the world and we start going to the smaller, more expensive, local organization who’s struggling to get by, then big changes will happen.  Those corporations will either die out or be forced to change….

Bottomline, Anger only feeds anger.  Hate only feeds hate.  Blame only takes our own power away.  Shame makes us weak.  Love is the Only Way and Love is Something we can ONLY cultivate within our own Hearts & Souls.  If you want change, then Occupy your own Self.  Find Wholeness & Peace and share the energy, message and clarity with the World.

YES we need to keep rallying together and feeding off this momentum and energy.

YES we need to keep taking baby-steps forward and demanding the government to change their ways and systems.

YES we need to create a world that works for all.

YES we need to continue Praying together for peace and positive change.

YES it all begins from within.

YES WE CAN TOGETHER!

We need a Unified Vision for Humanity; One that removes guilt, shame, blame and greed and serves the highest good of all inhabitants of this earth.  Even the gross bugs.

As simply as possible, write  your vision for Humanity and how you propose we get there from where we are right now?

I don’t have the all the answers and I know you don’t either.  But if we all contribute through conversation and positive feedback, we can begin reshaping the vision that works for all on this Planet.  Leave you comments below please.
