Fundamental Life Principle:
You are always practicing something.
The question is ... are you aware of whatever you are practicing right now, in this very moment, as you go about your everyday life?
Are you holding your spine relaxedly erect ... or is your body crunched up and slouched somehow?
Are you breathing long, full and slow ... relaxing your nervous system ... letting energy flow ... or is your breath fast, short and shallow ... limiting your experience, perception and availability?
Can you feel your body ... and your relationship to the space, beings and objects around you?
Can you feel your heart ... and the hearts of those around you ... or only your chaotic mind?
Are you aware of the breeze ... the birdsong ... the colour of the sky ... as well as the above ... all at once?
Are you reading this in a hurry to get on to the next thing ... or fully taking it in for what it is ... a gentle reminder to be fully here, now ... dialing in to your internal and external experience ... and staying open through it all?
The quality of your life depends on your moment to moment conscious (or unconscious) choices ... how these impact you and those around you ... and what you do to stay aware ... to fine tune your practice in each moment.
You are always practicing something.
Choose wisely.
Go deeper.
Now.
. . .
Learn and practice how to dial in to all of this and more, as part of your everyday existence, practice and offering to the world.

The Martial Art... of Relationship
A Dangerously Fun Workshop for Men
Lincoln Cotton | South Australia
"This was different from any other workshop I’ve ever done - using Martial arts training skills to allow inspiration and clarity to occur on the way we live life, the way we love others and ourselves.
'Be in the moment'. I have heard this lots, but to do it - ACTUALLY "be present" physically - has helped me feel and do it, in every day moments.
I am often a bit cheeky (smart arse) and this process centred me.
This will allow me to maintain my integrity and clarity of thought when the tough times come."
Greg Barwick | South Australia
"The most valuable thing I got from today is this piece around embodiment ...
... to actually make an integrated change in my body ...
... able to show up as a different man.
That’s what today has given a taste of, that I can feel it in my body, and have a reference point to come back to at a later date"
Jan Turtun | South Australia
"It’s been different (since the workshop). I’ve just felt like when I’m around (my partner) , my level of presence has increased ten fold. There’s been a couple of times where she’s gotten emotional, I’ve stood my ground, reassured her and she’s felt almost immediately better. Big shifts, brother. Thank you.
I was a little skeptical when leaving that anything would flow into my real life but I was proven wrong."
Luke Di Sessa | South Australia
“I cannot recommend this highly enough! the training from this weekend for me has turned into everyday practice and has such a positive impact on my being and my relationships. Get amongst it men, do yourself a favour! And its fun too!!”
