What is Vibrational Energy?

/0 Comments/in

Humans are made out of energy and sustained by energy. Our bodies are ever-changing, dynamic fields of energy and vibration, not static physical structures.

Though we cannot see this vibrational energy that makes up the body/mind and sustains us, it is nevertheless a vital part of us. It is the life-force that keeps our hearts beating and our lungs breathing even when we are asleep.

Dr. Masaru Emoto, a Japanese researcher who has done groundbreaking work on the effect of emotions on the crystalline structure of water. In his book The Hidden Messages in Water, Dr. Emoto documents the effects of different emotions on the structure of frozen water crystals, showing beyond a shadow of a doubt that the energy of loving appreciation creates the most profoundly beautiful crystalline patterns. Given that our bodies are over 70 percent water, Emoto’s research has profound implications for health. How we think about, talk to, and feel about ourselves creates an imprint on our cells that affects not only us, but also everyone around us!

Clearly, human interactions have profound effects on health. These effects can be either positive or negative, depending upon the state of mind of the people involved in those interactions.

Through conscious movement, breath, meditation and exercise one can turn the state of mind more positive. When we begin to appreciate ourselves as vibrational fields of energy with the ability to affect the quality of our own experience, we will be getting in touch with our innate ability to heal ourselves and create health every day of our lives.

Agonist-Antagonist Circuit

/0 Comments/in

One of the most balanced and effective workout circuit I have have ever experienced is the agonist-antagonist circuit. It creates an amazing pump because they not only drive blood into one muscle group but also into the opposing muscle group increasing blood flow into both opposing muscle groups. With AA circuits it is like you are performing a movement pattern then immediately following the set/exercise you are backing it up with the opposing movement pattern. For instance, you perform an upper-body pulling progression like a pull-up or bent row followed by a upper body pushing-progression.

It’s always effective to break out of same old training rituals since shocking the body will always stimulate change. To avoid plateauing I would often recommend a great agonist – antagonist circuit. Personally, I enjoy bodyweight AA circuits. Bodyweight circuits incorporate multiple muscle groups that will allow you to really challenge your cardiovascular threshold to keep the fire burning.

Here is a great body-weight AA circuit you can perform outdoors in a park.

210 Total Reps: (7 Rounds)
5 Pull-ups
15 Push-ups
5 L Chin-ups (basically combines the chin up and hanging leg raise all-into-one)
5 Horizontal Bar Dips

If you really want to challenge yourself try to increase to Total Reps to: 300 (10 Rounds) Trust me, this one will get you gassed…

Overstanding vs. Understanding.

/0 Comments/in

Difference between Overstanding and Understanding.

Example:
Understanding can consume, burn, and deplete an energy supply, but Overstanding recreates it, (or replaces it with a free energy solution inside and out). The difference between Under and Over standing is the difference between Working-For-The and Creating-The. Understanding follows the rule, social structure, or J.O.B., Overstanding can harmonically design a new method for our WHOLE HUMAN FAMILY TO THRIVE. No different from the distinction between instructional KNOWLEDGE and experiential WISDOM.

One Love,
