This video teaching & article, from BradiDude is for all you Soccer Moms, busy modern day yogis, stressed out, maxed out people who could use a Bliss Break in the midst of your busy go-go non-stop Lifestyle!  This is going to lend some inspiration and insight to how you can build your back to bliss practice, even on the road in LA’s worst traffic jams!

When on the go in the flow of busyness we are often so focused on getting from ‘Point A’ to ‘Point B’ that we become completely unpresent with ourselves and this moment we’re in now … We stress about whether we’ll be on time or we’ll be three minutes late, we think of all the things we need to do after we get to ‘Point B,’ we have arguments with invisible people in our head and we get completely consumed in unconscious thoughts.  Sometimes we get so into our mind that we forget how the heck we even got home!  It’s pretty close to guaranteed that we’ll end up at ‘Point B’ eventually, so it’s what we do with our time on the journey to that destination that makes all the difference in the world.  Every moment is an opportunity to ground into a space of Positive thought and emotions, even when those around you are in a state of chaos on the freeway.   

Check out BradiDude’s newest video which may lend some inspiration to develop a Meditation Practice while you’re on the go in transit … I know what you’re thinking, ‘Ummm meditating while driving doesn’t sound too safe…”  Well there are many ways to blast our hearts open and in this vid, I’m going to share my story of how I learned to chant and Sound Heal in LA rush hour traffic!

Live your Awesomeness!

Have you ever noticed yourself NOT doing the things you know you need to do to feel better about yourself, your life or a particular situation?  Like for example, you feel stressed and know Yoga and Meditation would be the best thing for you but instead of doing them, you watch a movie, go out for a drink or just keep pushing yourself to ‘do more’ … Or if you’re an entrepreneur, you know making that phone call, sending that email or writing a regular newsletter is the best thing for you & the growth of your business but you put it off and let your fear get the best of you … Or if you’re trying to get healthy and instead of changing what you eat, moving your body & exercising (in a fun way), you keep eating the stuff & doing the things that keep you where you don’t want to be.

Why do we sabotage our health, happiness and overall well-Being?

Why is it SO HARD to do the things we know will make us feel better?

As someone who has grown a Spiritual practice over the last 7 years to learn how to Truly BE with myself everyday and to LOVE & look forward to every moment of it I have come up against that same resistance of putting everything else first before ME.  As an entrepreneur who succeeds by being productive & action-oriented I know what it’s like to sabotage my success by procrastinating or not taking care of my Health.  I am also someone who has broken my habits of using alcohol, sugar, food & other ways to numb myself from Knowing ME or feeling my emotions and through that, learned to make healthier choices & honor myself.

So how can putting ME, MY BODY & HAPPINESS FIRST be fun & easy?

1)  DROP THE GUILT: 

Stop feeling bad about the shit you didn’t do and think you should’ve done … it doesn’t matter.  What matters most is what you do right now and now and now … every moment you come back to your breath, inhale deeply and exhale fully is a re-Birth, a new beginning and an opportunity to make changes.  Quit beating yourself up.  Accept where you’re at, what you’ve done or haven’t done. Stop feeling sorry for yourself and be the Empowered Super Human that you came here to be!  You are Infinite Spirit and your Awesomeness is way more Humungous than all the crap that keeps you small, low vibing and unhappy.  Drop that unneeded guilt and make better choices in this now and all the nows’ moving forward!

2)  LISTEN TO YOUR BODY’S WISDOM:  

You have 60 Trillion Cells of Infinite Wisdom twinkling inside of you, working together for your Highest Wholeness!  Unfortunately most of us keep ourselves SO busy that we forget about going within when we feel stressed, sick, in pain or out of balance.  Instead, we go around and we ask for everybody else’s opinion about what’s wrong with us or we just flat out ignore the red flags until we have a downward spiral crash  … The first place you should always turn is to yourself … I teach a practice of tuning inwards and listening to the body’s wisdom so you can decipher the hidden messages of your body & Spirit by learning to listen.  The pain and stress you feel is the body’s way of communicating messages of Truth to you.  When you feel those red flags it means something needs to change.  If you don’t listen, you won’t hear it.  Usually the act of listening is enough to  dissolve the negative energy and create new choices with more ease!  If after you’ve done all you can do to listen to your body and still you have no clarity, THEN go seek help elsewhere …

3)  DO WHAT IS FUN & FEELS GOOD: 

If it’s not fun, you won’t do it…for long!  Ever notice how we fall off the wagon so easily with diets, exercise programs and all sorts of other stuff we say we’re committed to?  Why is that??  Probably cuz they’re not fun!!  Whether it’s your Spiritual practice, transforming the way you eat, running a business, working a day-job, exercising or whatever … YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT FUN!!!  If you don’t, then you won’t do it and you’ll be unhappy … My intention for all my services, adventures, articles and videos is that first and foremost, they are fun.  Fun for me and fun for you … this makes Growing & Loving Life a whole lot easier than if it’s a push, a struggle and a pain in the ass!!!  Learn to see it all as an adventure & learn to make it ALL fun … this will take practice, but if you wanna be happy every moment of everyday, it’s well worth figuring out…and there’s no time better than now!

4)  IT’S ALL ABOUT VIBES: 

It’s all about doing the things that will raise our Vibration to the Highest Levels in all moments!  When we increase our frequency our addictions, judgments, thoughts, habits, relationships and every part of ourselves  transform too.  When making choices, whatever choice you make, ask YOUR BODY & SELF (not your mind) if this will ‘fill you up with energy’ or ‘take your energy away.’  As soon as you ask, YOU will know in your heart.  Choose the things that raise your vibes and your life will be easier, more fun and you will live in the land of love, magic and pure possibility!!  Breath work is the #1 way to raise your vibes, so learn it and do it everyday!

Learn to Meditate … Take the 40 Day Journey with Brad Morris by clicking this link!

Okay okay, pick your jaw up and pull your mind out of the gutter.  I’m talking about meditation here!  That’s right, ever since Oprah’s first experience of meditating she has fully embraced it as her path in life to discovering her higher purpose and connecting with God.  It’s funny to hear Oprah say that, I mean how much more Awesome and powerful can this woman get?  She started by building her own practice and then her and seven employees would meditate together twice a day and NOW all 400 of her employees sit together every morning and afternoon…

If the thought of dedicating ten, twenty or sixty minutes a day to a meditation practice gets you squeamish and stressed just at the idea, then think of it this way … What would you do with more energy?  How would it feel to tap into your intuitive gifts and receive clarity on your next steps to take each and everyday?  If you always felt connected to God or Spirit how much more love could you give your family & the World?  Meditation is not something that takes up your time & energy, it is a practice that feeds you and fills you.  And the best part of all is that the Source of that Energy is Infinite!

A regular practice of Meditation compliments every aspect of your Life.  It only makes things better!  By getting you grounded in your body, in tune with your surroundings and Self you become a conduit for Creativity and a portal for Peace.  This is not just a theory, it is Truth …

We can actually STOP ‘the pursuit of happiness’ today and find happiness here and now.  Through continually coming back to ‘what is Real’ within my Heart I am learning to love my life more and more everyday, even when times are tough.  Our culture has a belief that happiness is something that can be bought and sold, but it’s not.  No Guru can give it to you, no product can make it last.  Life-long happiness MUST BE SELF CULTIVATED!  You have to be the one to get up and do the thing that makes you happy, Period.

Want to be Guided through a Meditation?

Give yourself fifteen minutes, put on your headphones, shut off your cell phones and BE.  Note how you feel now and note how you feel when you’re done!  When practiced daily, you create a positive imprint in your mental, emotional, spiritual and physical bodies.  So why not give it a try …?

“Gratitude and Grief are the same thing.  When we grieve the loss of someone we love, we are celebrating the ripple they’ve forever left in our heart!“

If you have ever lost someone close to you, you will understand the energy and emotion that can come over us, even long after it happens.  When I was 17 my best friend was killed in a car accident and I had my first experience of what grief was.  I went months where I couldn’t look at myself in the mirror without crying.  Eventually though, I did find peace with his passing … but it took time. Now, more than ten years later (today actually would have been Zach’s 28th birthday) at least once a year, I will have a lucid dream where he comes to visit me and I get the opportunity to talk and catch up with my friend Zach.  His passing certainly taught me a lot about the preciousness of life at a young age …

Since then I’ve known a lot of people who have crossed over and are now cheering me on from the other side.   Though I still feel grief when someone passes, my understanding has changed so the waves are less difficult to deal with.  I am now able to feel their spirit within my heart and when I sit in meditation and commune with them, I can hear them answering back.  I now realize that they are never really gone …

Just last week a good friend from LA took his own life.  It came as an obvious shock to me and I’m sure many others.  The waves of grief and gratitude took me by storm on Friday and there was nothing more that I could do but sit on the beach crying and offering my prayers.  Through my own losses in life and bearing witness to Celeste, my Beloved’s father committing suicide last year, I am learning that it’s so important to honor our grieving process and not judge the emotions that surface when they do.  They come in waves and if we just give them the time and space to pass through us, we are able to function and live with lightness and gratitude in our hearts.

I dream of the day where it is honored and encouraged for people to take as much time as they need to honor the passing of a loved one.  Where instead of three days, their employer tells them to take as much time off as possible, paid and the person grieving receives the support from their whole community to celebrate the life of the one they love and lost.  Grief can be such a paralyzing experience and it’s so important that we learn to ask for what we need and we take a time out while moving through it because if we don’t deal with it now, it’ll create dis-ease within our hearts and lives.  If we don’t let our hearts open to the experience, then it’s like stacking a pile of bricks over our heart and we begin to shut down … Honor Life & Death with Equal Celebration!

My heart is so grateful for this Sacred Life we’ve been given here on the Earth Momma!  I am so thankful for the cycles of Life & Death that remind us of how beautiful and impermanent everything is.  May we each take this moment now to honor all that we have, all those who are cheering us on from the Spirit realm and may we never take our lives forgranted again ….

2 Words to Transform your Life!

Do you wake up and celebrate your life every single day, NO MATTER WHAT is going on???? What I share in this video has transformed my life and maybe it’ll do the same for you……..

Unfortunately most people don’t wake up happy and stoked to be alive….  In this article, I am going to share some of my story that has helped me to get through the tough times and become a magnet for the good times…Each of us has the power to create a vibrational frequency of joy around us and within us and I believe it’s through this simple technique that we do that!

Nearly 5 years ago Matthew Ashdown and I launched a video called the Gratitude Dance, which forever changed my life.  Because of this viral video, all of a sudden we were swept away on this epic adventure of teaching people how to be grateful for EVERYTHING!  Ohhhhhhh shiiiit, how the heck do ya do that!?  hahaha

At that time, we were just getting started on this journey of being Grateful GratiDudes.  Fortunately this hilarious Universe put us through the rings, because we humbly struggled (financially) our way across North America on speaking tours, teaching the power of gratitude to thousands of kids, adults and elders.  It was ridiculous the miracles we experienced in our travels.  Many days we didn’t know how we’d get our next meal, where we’d be sleeping that night or how the heck we’d pay our bills….It was a total walk of Faith.  And because of those days I can thankfully say I have learned TRUE FAITH in the Universe/God/Love/Spirit/& MySelf!

It was over the course of those 2 years of digging deep into life and practicing the life-transforming mantra of ‘THANK YOU’ that myself and Mr MattiDude really earned our title as GratiDudes and Ambassadors of Awesomeness.  We learned how to celebrate life in ways most people can’t imagine  (watch this vid on thanking the pain).  We learned that IT’S ALL GOOD all the time, no matter how it looks on the outside and the scarier it looked on the outside, the more powerful the transformation that takes place on the inside by saying THANK YOU for this…..!

The words THANK YOU have helped me to grieve loved ones I’ve lost, they’ve helped me to channel the creative ideas I need in order to serve in the world and have the most fun, they’ve helped me to heal and understand my pain and trauma, they’ve helped me to open up to living my life in awe and joy everyday, they’ve helped me to open my heart and embrace my challenges and they’ve helped me to connect in my relationships and show up authentically in the world as my bright shiny Self!

The words THANK YOU will change your entire life if you use them in ALL situations!  Everything in life and I mean EVERYTHING can be a blessing.  Rather than trying to transcend above our wounds, we must dive deep into ourselves and uncover the light that’s been smothered by the muck.  THANK YOU will help you to shine through it all and discover your greatest gifts…

EASIER SAID THAN DONE:  It will take a True Spiritual Warrior to learn this technique for celebrating life, but I assure you, as you Thank your way through the resistance that comes up you will become an Empowered, Grounded and Wise person in the life of all those around you.  If this is a challenging thing to swallow; celebrating EVERYTHING, I recommend you try the meditation below and get into the habit of starting your day in complete gratitude.  Do it everyday and just see how many times a day you can say thank you!!

I’ve Fallen and Thank God I Got Up!

On March 22nd I had a pretty big fall.  I fell 5 feet onto some jaggedy ol’ rocks right on the top of my head.  Thankfully some Angels cushioned my fall and now I’m laughing and moving around again but man it could’ve been way worst.  The video below will share the story, show you the fall spot and hopefully lend some inspiration to any ‘falls or failures’ you’ve experienced in your life!

What am I doing to help my body heal so quick???

I Am LEARNING QUICKLY to ask for help in ways I never did.  My body is healing so fast and I KNOW it’s because of all the love and support I’ve been giving it and receiving from others.  Here’s what I’ve done so far to help speed up my recovery process…

I’ve been RECEIVING a little bit of Cranio-Sacral Therapy everyday to calm my nervous system (from my Beloved Celeste), this has been so helpful in bringing my body back into it’s most natural, restorative state of Being, while healing me damaged muscles & tissues on an extremely powerful level … By the end of each treatment with her, I am a total puddle.  Yesterday I received Accupuncture & Pressure from my Jedi Brother, Aaron Banfield, this bro totally rocks and can help move inner mountains!  I also went for, what was supposed to be a Business Coaching Session but turned out to be a really monumental Counseling Session with Peter Ciceri … It was powerful just to share my experiences in an unconditional loving setting with a neutral, supportive man.

As for SUPPLEMENTS, I am taking high dosages of MSM, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Traumeel Tincture in my Herbal Tea (harvested with love) and some amazing shakes from the company “Conscious Planet.”  To heal my face, I am using Aloe Vera and a Trauma Salve with St Johns Wort, Arnica, Balm of Gillead and Calendula in it…

MEDITATION is what I’m finding to be the most beneficial and healing for me … even as I type this, my energy is being pulled away from the computer and being guided to just go SIT WITH MYSELF!  When we have ANY injury, the most important part of our healing process is listening … this way we get the lesson and don’t have to do it again!  The styles of meditation that are working best for me are Sound Healing, the mantra “Aham Prema” 108 times everyday and the Cellular Exploration below….

“My Epiphany…the Poem of My WAKE UP!”  (by Brad Morris)

I was contemplating life, when I had this epiphany;
All of a sudden, my life finally made sense to me.
My reason was wrong about my purpose for living;
It’s not about getting, life’s all about giving.

All of this time, I thought it was all about me;
But choosing to serve is what set me free.
Kindness is an act we all need to learn;
Like a boomerang, all kind acts return.

Compassion is cool, it’ll warm your heart;
Accepting Yourself, is a good place to start.
Many of us still need to forgive;
When we choose to let go, In Peace we may live.

Love is a word people don’t understand;
We must first love yourself before we reach out our hand.
I look at Life like a Spiritual Journey;
Which means my problems are lessons, and there’s no need to worry.

When we accept the fact, that our fears are illusions,
Just a future projections there for confusion;
We can let go of your worries and all of our fear;
And focus on our desires as miracles appear.

So what does your heart, TRULY desire?
What are your passions, what will ignite your fire?
When you decide, be sure to follow your Heart;
Take the next step, so your journey can start.

Know God supports those who follow their Bliss;
I know from experience, it’s just the way it is.
Limiting beliefs may surface inside;
Listen compassionately and  enjoy the ride.

Don’t try to force it, just go with the flow;
It’s okay to Trust yourself, I want you to know.
In every moment, we’re given a choice;
Follow your Intuition, hear your inner voice.

Guidance will come, and signs will show;
The more you shed your layers of ego.
Open your heart and embrace the change;
As your life transforms, it may feel strange.

Know the inner work, is perfect and right;
So you can live in Peace and shine your Light.
My life’s been amazing since I had my epiphany;
The day God woke me up, and here’s what he said to me:

“Serve, respect, and love one-another;
There’s no seperation, every man’s your brother.
Be a leader, and live by example;
Show what’s possible, be the sample.”

Since that day I’ve been living to serve;
My Spirit’s been content, like we all deserve.
If you’re ready for change, then choose so now;
God will support you, you don’t have to know how.

Surrender, have faith, take it a day at a time;
your destiny’s lined up, you’re gonna be fine.
Be present, be still, hand it over to God;
You have the power, you’ll beat the odds.

So what do ya say, you gonna come for the ride?
And let your Heart lead your Life like a Spiritual Guide.
Say yes right now, the power’s within;
Choose to stand bright, let your journey begin!
