What is the Sound of Your Strength? | | | |
| Sunday, 13 January 2008 | What is the sound of your movement? What is the Sound of Your Strength? Most people have trouble articulating their movement in the shapes of sound. But, it's exactly that limitation that limits many people's ability to do the very things they desire.
By looking deeply into sound creation we can find that movement of sound - the trajectory of sound, can actually help teach us move more efficiently, more stable, with greater strength and speed.
But, every time someone asks me for help to make them stronger and faster with CoreForce Energy, one of the first things I ask them is - "what is the sound of the movement you're trying to create?". Most look at me as if I'd fallen out of an airplane.
But the more I ask them to indulge me and to make the sounds of what they think their movement might be. Always, and without exception, I find that they're sound is limiting their execution of beautiful, powerful, and efficient movement.
Most think that sound trajectory doesn't have much to do with any physical movement. But, indeed, it is a window into revealing why we're not succeeding with perfect and powerful execution. It is also the window into revealing why some are much more exceptional than others.
Success leaves clues. For every time I ask someone who is a fantastic athlete to describe in sound what their movement is - without hesitation, it always matches the sleekness, grace, and power of their movement. It's a rule and unerring.
I give a lot of time with the phone consultations that come with CoreForce Energy course. And always, I work with sound and imagery to create the precise strength their after. For when the sound is right with the correct vastness of projection, the right force of trajectory, and the right beginning and end to the movement at hand, then it's usually very easy to create the movement to coincide because you no longer have to think. Like an artist, you're simply drawing and following the lines of precisely what you see in your mind.
Clients are always shy at first - even the most outgoing. But, by the end of our conversations, they're making the sounds of not just one tornado of energy, but many. And, what goes along with that correct vision and trajectory of power in sound? Yes, you guessed it, more powerful movement.
Time and time again, I see it. Most of us fail not because for lack of wanting something badly, but for lack of clear vision. And sound creation, for many things creates not only the perfect vision of movement, but when done right, creates the right powerful emotional content with your actions that is not stifling, static, or musclebound like they aren't when you don't have clear vision of sound.
When perfect execution of sound is internalized, one moves with fantastic energy and power without running out of breath in either their movement or their breath. When you learn to move like the music of a phrase, perfectly shaped, with the right amount of oxygen to deviler the most powerful sound - your movement ALWAYS matches. | Sleep Your Way to Strength and Mental Focus | | | |
| Thursday, 10 January 2008 | Most of us in this day and age of fast paced lives and deadlines simply don’t get enough sleep. This can be devastating over long term over our ability to function both physically and mentally.
Even though most of us know this, we barely can find any way of making changes that will allow us to get more sleep.
Lack of sleep makes us mentally and physically slow and doesn’t allow the body to repair itself properly from the hard work we put in at the gym. Lacking both the ability to concentration with keenmental focus and lack of "electrical juice" to contract your muscles to their max, will not make you strong or fast and you'll always feel like the lion who can't keep up with the herd.
Without proper muscle recovery, we have slower gains because we’re not recovering and less power and speed when we do exercises because we lack the mental focus and the ability to ignite muscle firings that activate the muscles with enough contraction power that brings you super strength and speed.
As an entertainer myself, we’re know for keeping vampire hours with our performing schedules and after-show highs we get from the applause of awesome audiences.
But entertainer or not, we all suffer from lack of sleep. But what to do to recharge yourself?
In my competition days, I was rehearsing 8-13 hours a day, teaching 33 students and still working out with martial arts and weights regularly. This is including all the other dally things one does.
Since I had heard so much about short naps taken by the likes of Einstein and Edison, I’d heard that Edison would sit in a chair lightly holding a set of keys in his fingertips. He’d close his eyes trying to sleep until awakened by the keys falling to the floor. In that length of time, he felt recharged and ready to attack his experiments with renewed vigor.
I figured if it worked for him, I’d at least try with some experiments of my own with some short naps. I’m glad I did too because it paid off with fantastic results.
Research says that anything over 30 minutes puts you into too deep of a REM cycle and you’ll feel groggy. But, like a lot of you, I didn’t have even that much time especially because I was preparing for a major competition that would put me into Carnegie Hall if I won.
So, because they said anything under 30 minutes was good and because I didn’t feel I could spare the time to be unconscious, I started taking my countdown watch and setting it at 19 minutes. | A Paper-ball Toss to Success | | | |
| Wednesday, 09 January 2008 | Think about the moment you crumple a piece of paper into a ball and begin to toss it into a waste basket. Think about those times where you can see it going in with a flash of complete certainty and it does exactly that. As funny as it sounds, these are moments we can actually learn valuable lessons from and can be models for future successes in sports, business, and personal goals.
It really is such a small moment but a crucial and decisive one. You see , it's that certainty of thought and feeling that emanates and executes action flawlessly throughout every millisecond of movement from the moment you decided to toss that paper-ball to it leaving your hand in perfect trajectory toward its target that makes it go in - or not.
When you have those moments where you see and feel it going in with complete certainty, what happens? It always goes right in, right? That's an exciting moment even though it's very small in the scheme of things.
But, to me, it's that precise moment of feeling and seeing before the shot that auto corrects our bodies in the minutest of ways to move unerringly with unfathomable precision. And "Voila", you hit a perfect shot - a Zen moment.
The reverse is also true. When you don't see it and feel it going in the basket before and during the toss, it simply doesn't. But that too, is a Zen moment - the missed goal precisely mirrored the crack that materialized in a millisecond in our otherwise perfect vision before and during the throw.
When we miss a simple shot like this that's only a few feet away, a lot of us chastise ourselves for being a bad shot or we simply shrug it off as being meaningless.
But, when you think about a paper ball toss, we usually don't say to ourselves that we need to practice more. And really, it doesn't take a lot more practice as much as it takes a complete certainty of thought and feeling the next time round.
And, to me the key is that they must both be present.
As funny and small as it may seem, when think about goals I've set, I often try to visualize them being executed with the same unerring certainty as when I toss a paper ball into a trash can.
By using that model of a successful snapshot moment, it can instantly tell me whether I've set too unrealistic of a goal, or that I simply need to get my brain and emotional engagement on track with the same unerring clarity of vision to match the instantaneous success of the paper-ball toss.
A flash of thought and action like a paper-ball toss can teach you a lot. Especially in sports, it's those moments in critical gameplay that decide victory or defeat. | Put The Extreme Power of a Roman Legion in Your Body | | | |
| Tuesday, 08 January 2008 | The might of an ancient Roman legion marching in rank must have been a sight of power to behold and if you can learn to command some of those specific qualities into your every muscle fiber, you’ll be the general of vast new strength and power.
But to do so you must stretch your mind from its current thinking and change your frames of reference to encompass and own new horizons.
Science has found that music can change our molecular structure and thought patterns almost instantaneously. Those in turn bring new results in the way we move and express ourselves with energy force. And then, if you can consciously infuse powerful imagery with emotional content and super glue them to every note and drum beat, it can put you in charge of your own legions of super strength, power, and speed.
If your mind is fully and creatively engaged, your heart stirred, and every muscle fiber excited from vast energy forces, you can activate your own superpower adrenaline that will catapult you to new levels. And it will be real - earned from your core - the kind that represent real human triumph instead of the false kinds induced from harmful stimulants and steroids.
But how do you get your mind deep into your muscles? How do you activate every singular muscle fiber? Common logic tells us that if that can be done and done time again for long periods of time, that it will take you to new dimensions of peak performance and athletic mastery.
So, from time to time, I'd like to introduce you to some music many of you probably won't know. But, with a different frame of reference from the stories I tell, you'll hear with new eyes and see with new movements.
You can play hip-hop, rap, or rock as loud as you like, but nothing will equal the vastness of sound that comes from a full orchestra of up to a 100 pieces and from music composed by some of the great masters in time. It's not volume I’m speaking of but a vastness a pure expansiveness of sound like an ancient Roman legion marching in formation for an assault on an entire nation rather than a solitary Goliath standing on a battlefield.
The great Roman Empire was one of the great superpowers of the ancient world ruling for centuries by a massive and fearsome fighting machine of men and weaponry. | Put The Extreme Power of a Roman Legion in Your Body | | | |

| Sunday, 06 January 2008 | It's been proven time and time again by science that visualization techniques vastly improve the performances of athletes, brings incredible riches to us, and helps people heal their lives.
But, still, so many people don't realize it's importance, don't practice creative techniques themselves on a daily basis, and therefore don't reap the incredible benefits that come from the powers of the mind to see things before they happen which develops the ability to create things from nothing and manifest them much more easily into physical realities.
Instead, so many live mostly in the physical world wondering why it resists them so and is so stubborn to give way to their will.
The power of visualization can bring us infinite magic into our lives allowing us to make radical changes in our physical worlds easier and faster.
Quite often, I have people tell me they're not the type of person that can visualize and dream in pictures. And yet, I believe, we all have that ability.
Of course, when we're young, this ability is at a phenomenal height. Unfortunately, this amazing ability is sapped of its natural powers by lack of practice. And sadly, perhaps one of the main culprits is that schools seem to always cut music and art from their curriculums – cutting the very tools that help nurture young minds to think creatively and to bring forth things into physical realities that were simply ideas in the beginning.
The very nature of the arts are not based in memorization of facts or solving equations, but is based on the process of bringing imaginary creations into reality, creating things from nothing that breath of emotion and creativity.
Art and music are some of the very things that help stir creative juices in our minds that flow from the mysterious realms of the synergistic powers of the conscious, subconscious, and superconsious minds.
The creatively developed mind learns to access vast reserves of the very things that would help people get through their adult life’s with greater ease and less friction from having developed the abilities to solve problems more creatively and to see their completion in entirety before they happen - and to manifest things quicker by knowing they are simply possible because they've seen it so many times in their minds eye.
A large portion of CoreForce Energy is devoted to giving you creative tools to help you see and move first from your mind's eye first and then, just importantly, how to attach those creative processes precisely into your physical actions to make you more powerful and strong.
If you can attach your mind to thoughts that engage all your mental focus and resources with unwavering concentration, you can achieve incredible things from strength, to speed, to efficiency and creativity on many levels – and have fun doing so. As the well-known saying goes. If you can see it, you can achieve it. The same is true in reverse.
So if you think you're having trouble with visualizing, you might try to jump-start it by doing something I do to this day on a regular basis. It's an exercise that'll make you realize that your imagination is always working whether you’re conscious of it or not. I propose an exercise that'll help encourage you to see every minute movement before you actualize it.
It’s a simple exercise to help you to see from your imagination, and to teach you to the importance of being ahead of your physical actions with your thought. Even if you say you can't see that way. I'm telling you now, you really ARE a good visualizer - just perhaps, you need to be more conscious of it.
Take an ordinary daily action and close your eyes throughout the duration from beginning to end without opening your eyes. For instance, when you get up in the morning where your eyes don't really want to open anyway. Walk to the bathroom with your eyes closed and see if you can get through the entire process without opening your eyes, from reaching for the shampoo, finding the soap, to finding your towel to dry off, and putting a brush through your hair. See if you can do all of this blind.
You've all heard that people who have disabilities who also develop incredible other attributes to compensate. Why wait until you’re disabled to access these strengths? | |
