A way we could describe the four habits is we’ve fallen out of love and gone to fear. Or in the moment, we’re scared, we’re feeling attacked, not enough, and all of that. So we go to one of these four things in a dysfunctional attempt to try to feel loved, to get our needs met. And the way I was taught to use these tools is start with self, myself and work outward in ever widening circles. So from self to relationship or family, from family to community, town, tribe, village and then outward to state or nation or land and earth. And by building these circles and widening it out, that’s how we build a healthy society, a healthy planet, a healthy earth:
Science or Pseudoscience, what's the difference and why does it matter? Well as I write this a big famous airplane company is having problems with their planes and there are questions about ignoring safety during manufacture. I want to fly in a plane made by people who use science to build a plane that will takeoff fly and land safely and comfortably.
Wikipedia says, "Science is a rigorous, systematic endeavor that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the world."
An unbiased honest scientist could have inspected or looked at the planes in question and made predictions about how they would fly or don't. They have tests for the doors or whatever other part is the problem, and had those tests been done they would have hopefully raised concerns and fixed the issue before flight.

How we ask or don't ask for what we need can make all the difference, there's that saying we get more bees with honey than vinegar.

In this video I talk about the when, what, where, and how of communicating in a way that gets more of our needs met:

These Tools help me ride the waves of life – practices, techniques, skills that are in harmony with the human body and living on earth. A lot of this was unlearning for me, what I was taught wasn’t working, and I started asking how is my body designed to function and what changes can I make to feel better.
Videos from the below Tools are included in this incredibly powerful life changing course:
Barefoot – Why and how I rewilded my feet and ditched shoes.
Skin and Hair – Why and how I went no-poo and stop using soap and putting toxic stuff on my body.
Food – I changed my diet and saw noticeable improvements. Also I eliminated some foods and brought them back into my diet and saw no difference. Also what I saw growing up in a meat processing and ranching family.
Breathing – 1 video – In this page I talk about breath work with tips and issues that came up for me.
Hot and Cold – Sauna and cold plunge, and or just going outside and safely being exposed to nature.
Meditation – 6 videos – For me this tool brings me to the foundation which is here and now or present.

Communication and Language – 14 videos – Learning the power of words and how to choose language to communicate more effectively. Words and how we say them, also listening and truly understanding what other people are communicating.
The 5 levels of agreement are a tool to let us know what we are agreeing to, get more of our requests agreed to, and to align our expectations with reality. What do we do if people aren't keeping the agreements we make? I offer a tool to dig deeper, understand why, and have a better chance of getting what we want.
In this video I talk about agreements, give examples of well known agreements that aren't kept, explain the 5 Levels of Agreement, and aligning our expectations with reality:
If people are not keeping the agreements we make there are usually core wounds from childhood that are coming up. In this next video I give an example from my childhood where my father and I had different levels of agreement on time:
