How can you live with more power and love with more grace?

How you can live with more power and love with more grace. This is a phrase I've used as a mantra for my own life - live with power, love with grace. This is why I share that with you, is because I've been fortunate to be in the presence of other people who represented power and grace.

for example, grand master fu

Yeah, I know it's Fu so you can laugh about it if you like, but when you’re in Grandmaster Fu‘s presence, he stands where he can't be touched. The chaos of the world can’t shake him. He's in a state of absolute love with himself and with his understanding of life and he represents that power. But he also represents this divine grace, the way he walked, the way he moved, and spoke with so few words but said so much. That was something I wanted to admire, and I wanted to emulate it in some way.

So how can I cultivate power, grace, and love for myself?

I thought about this a lot, and grace is a divine virtue. When I was empty, the only thing I had left was grace or faith. And in my rock bottom, there was grace; the grace of the unknown, the grace of sanctification. Something wholly had to come in and help me at that moment, and I didn't even know if that was conscious or not. But then I was able to follow that divine guidance, and that's what led me to Grandmaster Fu or Grandmaster Tennyson, or various other people that you could Google and find out some information about them (though you might not find the Grandmasters because they're usually in hiding because the governments don't always like them). After all, they heal people and they liberate people just with their presence, so their lives are threatened for the most part. They are brave souls to continue sharing their work with us.

Movement 101: If You Don't Use It You Lose It (And You Can Get It Back Anytime You Decide To)

In today’s world, it’s easy to see how many people are sick, tired, diseased, and dysfunctional because they’re not actively engaging in their well-being. The way society is set up, it’s not really designed for you to take your health back. So, you have to become a warrior for your well-being. I like the phrase “respectful rebel” because you’re rebelling against all the nonsense.

Nutrition 101 - Feed YourSELF First

This one's on nutrition, with a bit of a different take. I've done a few things on diet before, but this is Nutrition 101, which means you have to feed yourself first. And I don’t mean just your body; I mean your self—S-E-L-F. You know what that means? It means taking time to self-reflect on who you are in the world and nourishing who you really want to be. The ultimate nutrition for that is stillness and silence. Spend time alone in stillness and silence—however you want to approach that. It could be just taking a slow, intentional, energetic walk with a piece of paper and a pen to capture your thoughts.

Illness And Disease Invites You Back To Health And Wholeness

What's up again? I love speaking to you respectful rebels—those who want to go against everything the government says to do. If you do the opposite, you're probably going to be fine, right? So with that in mind, let's go against the grain a little.

People come to me with their illnesses, diseases, and challenges regarding their well-being, and I always say - there's only one disease we all have. So what is that?

What Is Your Definition Of God - And How Do You Embody God?

What is your definition of God?

How do you embody God, and how do you express that embodiment into the world around you?

These are very important questions, but few people really ask them.

Most people just move according to tribal thinking—adopting a particular definition of God without ever sitting down to consider, "Without the influence of society, churches, religions, spirituality, and all that, what would I really say to express God in my life?"

Now, this might be offensive or triggering to some people, and that means it's challenging your definition of God. As a coach, teacher, and speaker on the subjects of health, healing, and transformation, it’s my job to challenge you. It's not to threaten you or your belief system, but to push you beyond self-limiting beliefs.

You're Not Overworked, You're Actually Under- Rested

I grew up in a family where if I wasn't doing something, my mom would say, "Get busy, get out of here, do something!" I was shamed and blamed. I was always working mentally or physically.

You Can Only Love Another Person To The Degree You Love Yourself.

I remember checking into a psychiatric ward after I had gone to the gun club to take my pain away. During this time, I discovered the importance of self-love. I checked into the psychiatric ward because I didn’t want to go back there. I told them, “I just want to learn how to love myself back to well-being,” but their response was that it was my mental illness talking and that I needed more medication.

Are You The Master Of Your Mind Or Are You Its Slave? In This Case It’s Either, Or.

It's kind of sad that I spent 17 years in the public educational system and university, becoming a civil engineer specializing in bridges, yet I didn't know anything about who I was in spirit, my personality, or what I love to do for its own sake.

Do You Have A Burning Desire In Life? A Deep Yearning That You Want To Bring Forth To The World.

Do you have a burning desire in life? A deep yearning that you want to bring forth to the world—or to your world? You know that feeling—“I’m on fire with a burning desire!” My soul force, my passions are being expressed in a certain medium on this plane of living

The Air Element - The Realm of Paradox

Being a Warrior for your Wellness is not about either-or. It’s about both-and. The Air Element is the paradoxical realm of thinking. Is that absolutely true? No. Is it relatively true for me? Yes, so take a breath. We’ve got some things to discuss.

The Water Element - Water’s Powerful Secret Identity

We’re living in a framework that says disease is inevitable and is out of our control. I’m trying to help people work through the seven elements of healing, and in this framework, we're exploring how these elements have always been within our control. If you missed the Earth element discussion, I encourage you to catch up before we delve into the Air element next week.

Water, unlike the solid Earth, can be liquid as well as ice. It’s fluids of the body, and includes vital systems like the circulatory and lymphatic systems.

The Earth Element - Microbes Are Here To Heal You

I want you to know something - parasites, fungi, bacteria – all these microbes are here to heal us.

You’ve been taught that germs cause disease. But germs don’t cause disease if they actually heal us. You may be experiencing some cognitive dissonance in hearing this, but hear me out. On this plane of existence, every statement has an opposite that must also hold true. Just as we've been taught cancer is a disease, we must also consider that cancer is not a disease.

Finding A Framework For Healthy Living

If you're living on autopilot and it’s making you sick - know that we live in a culture that’s sick, full of disease, dysfunction, and delusion. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to see that this is true.

We need a framework for healthy living because our current framework for living often perpetuates disease, dysfunction and delusion as our so-called normal way of life. And therefore, we are engaged in behaviors that uphold that default reality.

Over the past two decades, I've developed a real framework to live by that I want to share with you.

Why We Don’t Heal When We Eat

What's up gang? This is Dan. And I have an important public announcement. It's about fasting, how we actually purify and heal our bodies through fasting - and guess what, I'll give you a key takeaway right away. It's the cheapest way you can do it.

It doesn't cost you anything. In fact, you save money on eating. You save money on doing dishes or energy, doing all the dishes and all that nonsense. But what is fasting? Generally speaking, there's so much out there about fasting. God Bless America, it just chops everything up into all kinds of pieces.

What If Your Transformation Is In Your Next Breath?

So when you take your aspect of self - your awareness - to the breath and how you're breathing it, then you come directly in contact with your spiritual essence, because you're in the present moment. You're in contact with your awareness to the degree that you’re fully aware of your breathing in that moment. And you're going to allow yourself to just observe the breath. That's all you need to do.

Who’s On Your Team? What Sports Have To Teach Us About Wellness - It’s Not What You’d Expect.

I remember getting the diagnosis that I had cancer, and I was like, how am I going to navigate this? Oh my God. So I found a book by Tony Robbins, and as I flipped through the pages I saw “Start living your life.” Right when I flipped it over!

And, they had all kinds of things about belief systems and stuff like that. And I’m going home and saying, Oh my God, what am I going to do?

Well, I'm going to coach ice hockey, because I love ice hockey. And in doing that, I realized that people were going to help me navigate this. So I wanted to help other people so I could feel like I'm being grateful. It’s an act of gratitude to be of service to other people, to volunteer and to just make my life continue to move on.

Access Your Intuition And Take Charge Of Your Health

What are your intuition and instincts about how you want to navigate your cancer journey? You have the answers inside of you. You are your own best expert on this. And that’s what I ask people when I coach them.

When I saw my first oncologist, he asked me a very powerful question.

The way you do anything is not the way you do everything

If you think of Mozart, think of how amazing his music and compositions were to humanity back then and even still today. How he did his music was not necessarily how he did his relationships, from my understanding. He wasn't very good at relationships but with his music, he did really well, so it didn't carry over into his life.

How can you live with more power and love with more grace?

What if I told you nothing is missing in your life?

Let me ask you something: what if I told you that nothing is missing in your life? It's just changing form or shape.

I came across this in my own life when I would be experiencing feelings of lack or feeling like something was missing. I wanted more success, more clients, more money, more identity - whatever it was, more health. And I realized that if you actually think about it, it's in your next book.

Your emotions are real - but might NOT be the truth

I want to share something with you. What if your emotions are real - but they're not actually the absolute truth?

I experienced this myself because I get triggered - and when I do get triggered, I take a look at it and then that emotion comes up and leaves me.

So what I realized in that moment was that the emotion was real. I sat with it and then all of a sudden it left. That meant that the absolute truth came right behind it.

Turn Any Pain You Have Into Your Purpose.

At 29 years old. I walked into an office - an oncologist in Boston. I was there to find out, why was I so sick? They had done a biopsy. They knew it was cancerous. I was there to find out my diagnosis and prognosis and what am I gonna do about this?

The doctor gave me a question. That doctor asked me, “Dan, how did such a young man get into the business of cancer?

And that question I turned inward and I asked myself.

In that answer I found that I was not living my true authentic self and I was definitely doing things that were not in the best interest of my optimal health, let’s just say that. And to summarize it pretty aggressively, I was living an ignorant and arrogant life.

After that Eternal moment, he had another thing to say. He said, “Dan with a little bit of suffering you will grow stronger.”

Why Most Diets Don’t Work

The reason is because you don't know what diet is. That's the number one reason I believe that you don't know why your diet is not working. Because you don't even know what diet is.

Okay, so let me share with you what I've learned about what diet is.

First, it begins with your mom and dad's diet before conception.

Now you want to think about how your parents have been feeding themselves and what I call preparing the Garden of Eden for the seat of soul to come in and be born into this world. That's part of your diet.

What If I Told You 20-Minutes Of Exercise Could Transform Your Life

What if I told you 20 minutes of exercise can actually change and transform your life? I know you're thinking that's impossible because everybody out there says you need to go to at least a one-hour class. But 20 minutes of concentrated intentional effort trumps anything else.

Cancer Is Not a Disease

I have something to shock you with. And potentially liberate you. What if I told you that cancer is not a disease?

I want you to know something - on this plane of living - whenever you make a statement the opposite is also true.

What does that mean?
