What defines a Wealthy Boomer?

Have we forgotten compassion? Have we forgotten simple kindness? Every Baby Boomer wants to live a life without lack, one of abundance and comfort – enjoying the love of family and friends. How much do we care and what are we doing about it?

Change For A Dollar tells the story of “the forgotten man”.

It reminds me of another video about the forgotten man that we watch on a regular basis. It’s a movie with William Powell made in 1937 during the tail end of the Great Depression called “My Man Godfrey“. While classified as a comedy, it really is a story of compassion and helping people stand on their own two feet.

Sometimes it seems that we Baby Boomers have lost touch with who we really are. We have forgotten – amid the busy-ness of life – to remember gratitude, and loving kindness to the others around us as we scurry around in our lives. This week I watched a video clip at Awesomenessfest.com where the speaker said:

“I have learned that we are loveable because we are human beings not human doings.”

We have learned – too often – to take things for granted, or the value of family, or gratitude for what we do have.

Seeing a video like this reminds me how important it is to be grateful and compassionate about how many people face difficulties today that did not exist 20 years ago. And yet it is virtually the same struggle that has been going on for centuries. Change for a Dollar is about a helping hand, a smile, and “hand-up” when we need it – and mostly seeing people, really seeing them. It is about the loneliness of being invisible.

Being the catalyst that triggers expansion is the type of change we need, not just change for the sake of it. Effective change requires purpose and compassion and gratitude and vision. We can lose the material stuff, we can lose our direction –  fall off our path and make bad decisions along the way – without losing our integrity.

Do we throw in the towel or ask our self what can I do about this?

It touches my heart to watch this video and reminds how many times I forget to remember who I AM and what I am grateful for.

Little things do make a difference.

Without compassion, without gratitude and without kindness, what does abundance mean? This is the character part of the wealthy boomer – and what is wealth without character?  It’s like living in an empty shell –  living an empty life.

This video reminds me what it is about helping people that truly brings me joy and that this is the work I love. It shines the light of hope on humanity.

Ask yourself, “What type of change can I make for a dollar?” If you like this video – you can donate a dollar at the end. I did.

Abundance Day for Baby Boomers…

Saturday, September 24th was Abundance Day in our house and it was fun.

We started the day with gratitude for all the things that are going right, the opportunities that keep coming our way, our health and recognizing the emerging abundance in our lives.

It was a spontaneous process that began in the morning starting with the daily email from Abraham-Hicks. The first part of the message was talking about releasing resistance, followed by this quote:

“Most people do not expect their path to great abundance to be one of ease and of joy. They have been taught that struggle and hardship and sacrifice are requirements that must be met before the reward of great abundance can be realized.

Most do not understand that the very struggle they deliberately involve themselves in, in their quest for success and advantage, actually works against them.”

Next we read a section in one of our favorite books reminding us to let our higher mind be the guide in our lives instead of our ‘little’ mind that gets in the way.

David Wood and Michael Barrett Atlanta 2006

The Financial Lid

As we drove to replenish the coffee supply, we listened to an audio cd of a friend of ours who was talking about raising our financial ‘lid’. Our friend is David Wood who we met in 2005 while on staff for Peak Potentials. David was the head trainer at the time and as we worked a number of events with him grew to be friends.

In his description of a financial lid, David says to draw a box on a piece of paper and write the number down inside the box that describes your monthly income. Then he says to draw another box around the first one and write the same number in the outside box and then add a zero on the end.

Financial Lid Example

For example, look at the image on the right. If your monthly income is 3500, put that number in the inner box. Next draw a second box around the first and put 35000 in the outer box. He said whatever we are making now is our financial lid and we need to expand our lid if we want to increase our income. If our lid is $1M a year, add a zero and make it $10 M a year in the outer box.

He reminded us that we have to expand our belief in our willingness both to be worthy and to accept the increased amount before we will receive it.

It’s an inspiring cd that has more meaning to us since David is a personal friend.

Removing Abundance Glitches

Next, we followed the “lid” exercise instructions on David’s cd and combined this with our knowledge as Core Health Facilitators both to identify and remove any energy glitches around our “lid” using the DTQ process in comprehensive kinesiology.

Later that night, we went through the energy clearing process we use in our workshops to clean up any remaining distortions or resistance in our system and we could actually feel the difference.

The Cash Flow Board Game

Starting in the afternoon, we had a blast playing 3 full games of Cash Flow (the game developed by Robert and Kim Kiyosaki) with a dinner break in between the 2nd and 3rd games.

What a great day this turned out to be. What a stimulating and joyful experience. It provided an internal sense that we have finally cracked the internal abundance code and man does it feel good. It is part of our financial intelligence and wealthy boomer training.

Abundance day was inspiring.

What is more fundamental to wealth than being willing to receive our own abundance. We have decided to make one day a week Abundance Day.

Hey Healthy Boomer: Join the Qigong Sarasota Group…

Siesta Key Florida

As a Boomer in the Sarasota, Florida area, you owe it to yourself to re-activate your vitality, initiate an anti-aging campaign and find some peace of mind.  In my experience, there is no single exercise set as beneficial to the human body as a combination of Qigong and martial arts training.

This is for a multitude of reasons including:

• Qigong renews the body on so many levels – improved circulation, increases in Qi circulation, natural strength and diminished levels of stress
• The type of strength that is developed over time is what I call a comprehensive strength – using the whole body in unison, not muscle mass without integration
• All aspects of the body are activated, rejuvenated and coordinated into maximum performance without requiring maximum output

You can do this by joining our group. It’ll take some time and practice, but it works every time for everybody who is diligent and receives competent instruction.

Mr. T.C Lee  of Honolulu was my Wu Style TaiChi teacher in 1973/74. He used to tell me:

“Doing TaiChi everyday is like putting pennies in a piggy bank.  It doesn’t seem like much, but in 40 or 50 years, you have a lot of money.”

Being  a Healthy Boomer requires a long range attitude and long range execution. A little bit every day makes for amazing health, stability and balance.

I speak from experience.

If you’re in the area, stop by check out the Qigong Sarasota group on Siesta and start packing away your pennies for 20-30 years from now. If you’re in a different area, find a Qigong group and try it out. You can learn Qigong at any age. Once you learn this stuff, it’s yours. You own it for the rest of your life. The beauty is that you can practice wherever you are:

• in  a hotel room while you are traveling
• in a park
• on the beach
• in your own backyard or living room
• at your mother in law’s house
• anywhere…

Being a wealthy boomer makes no sense at all without optimum health to go with it. How can you enjoy life from a wheelchair, an assisted living facility or a hospital bed?

I can’t. Not my thing and never will be.

What are you waiting for?

Check it out and see for yourself.

Qigong Sarasota

Sarasota is a little piece of paradise.

If you are not local,  stop by and say hello when you come here next time for vacation. Get tuned up and while you’re here plan to attend a Heart Forgiveness Workshop and get the inner self tuned up too…

I AM Michael Barrett, I  AM a Healthy Boomer, a Heart Forgiveness and Core Health Facilitator and I love Qigong.

Grand Master David Harris

Grand  Master David  Harris Came to Town March 24

and a lot of Baby Boomers who want to be a Healthy Boomer showed up. About 65 people made it to Radiance of Sarasota and we filled the space to capacity.

We’re excited for several reasons.

Having an opportunity to host such an amazing guest is an honor and a rare experience.

GM David was World Kumite Champion for two years, set a world record in brick breaking, is a Grandmaster in 4 martial arts systems, a member of the Black Dragon Fighting Society, a Qigong Master,  a Martial Doctor and the youngest Grand Master in the world.

People in attendance really liked GM David’s down to earth presence, humility,  great

FREE TRIAL SRC4U

sense of humor, and the new SRC4U software he presented.

← Try SRC4U Free. You’ll like it really.

There is potential for many people to benefit as a result of this revolutionary and powerful technology.

Many of the attendees are current workshop participants (or graduates) of our Heart Forgiveness, Core Health and Funny with Money workshops.  They already knew who GM David is because we speak about him often in our workshops.

There is a definite connection between Core Health and GM David. He is a member of the Energy Essentials Applications Research team that played a key role in peer review and in an advisory capacity during the development of Core Health. We were introduced to him by Dr Ed Carlson, the founder of Core Health.

Yet the connection goes deeper than that. GM David noticed – in his work with Core Health students and facilitators over the last few years – that Core Health frees up  huge amounts of energy. This release makes it easier for him to do his job energetically and what might take him an hour to do in the past, might only take fifteen or twenty minutes with Core Health graduates.

Here is what he says:

“I find Core Health and the Skills Development highly effective ways of inner purification, absolutely necessary to being optimally powerful from the inside, flowing into outer expression, in life, in martial arts, and in health.”

My Personal Experience With Grand Master David…

In my personal case, GM David helped me with an energy issue that Dr Ed and I were unable to clear using Core Health, alone. In addition, on a physical level he helped me modify the bone alignment of my left wrist that I broke severely in 2003, reset a partially separated clavicle that had been out since 2006 and reset my left knee (that has been injured multiple times since 1971) to complete natural health.

This man gives 100% of himself to help others and humanity.

Grand Master David (<== read more here) is a wonderful, charming and lively human being and an old soul.

After turning his primary efforts from fighting to healing, he has done amazing work as (what he calls) a martial doctor. In the time we have known GM David, he has done much to help many.

If You Want to Be A Healthy Boomer, Study Qigong

When it comes to energy, I have studied with two Qigong masters in the past, both exceptionally skilled, each in their own way. In my personal experience, GM David’s energy and power is both amazing and unparalleled.

This is compounded by his well delineated level of Spiritual development and accomplishment.

SRC4U – Qigong Energy Enhancer

In an effort to help as many people as possible – and to effectively multiply himself – GM David has been designing a new system of software that emulates and magnifies Qigong energy. This has been a monumental task over a 4 year period and is essentially a marriage of old ‘organic’ qigong technology and 21st century technology.

He recently released the software, called SRC4U (spiritual real time correction), you can try his software for free – two ways:

1. a free version called Ultra Lite
2. a two week free trial of the Premium Version

Go here to get the download links: SRC4U

We have been running this software for about 2 weeks. It’s kind of like a genie in the lamp. It’s an amazing program that can help in many ways.

Spending an evening with GM David is an awesome experience in itself. He has a wide variety of life experience and is an interesting and compelling story teller. He is quite an accomplished man and a great guy.

If anyone knows how to teach us to be a Healthy Boomer, he does. He knows how to build a healthy wealthy boomer.

It is an honor to call Grand Master David my friend.

Please try out the software for yourself. There is no cost and after you use it a while, please come back to this blog and give us some feedback AS IN LEAVE A COMMENT.

People would like to hear what you have to say.

I AM Michael Barrett, I AM a Healthy Boomer, I AM a Core Health Facilitator

Imagine this: Seventy seven million baby boomers make a pact to take back their happy healthy image and birthright, and ALL become healthy and wealthy within the next year or two!

Seriously, look at this now! Boomers are a gigantic brain trust of information, experience, and know how. They have been down – raised by “depression age” parents and grandparents. They have been up – lived through some of the very best of economic times, great freakin’ rock music, comparative castles for homes, waged war on everything from terrorism to drugs to cancer, and are still better at most jobs than their children and grandchildren will ever be.

Boomers are world travelers, can do most anything you can come up with; they are gym rats, social media marketers, and can learn a language in 90 days.

Baby Boomers went back to school online and became honors students with Masters after age 50 or 60!  They have lost all their money once or twice and made it back on the next entrepreneurial venture or two without passing out in the sweat – even if they did lose a house or two in foreclosure. They are experts at picking themselves up, dusting themselves off and getting right back in the game.

Boomers have survived layoffs, divorce, child support, custody cases, 9/11, and a few lyin’-cheatin’ presidents, and they’re not dead yet! They changed jobs like sweaty gym shorts, made it through the dot.com boom and bust while changing hats as frequently as needed. Boomers have tried every religion on the planet from Tibet to Rome to Utah. They are as self- developed and natural health-ed as anyone will ever be. They have been medicated and meditated.

Baby  Boomers – WE – survived it all. What else is there?  Really?

What if:

Boomers decided to act on all that knowledge and stop buying into  the massive programming about prescriptions, high blood pressure, weight loss programs, motorized scooters, guilt about the end of the world, and spending the grand kids inheritance!

What if they said

“NO MORE!” to terrorists, politically correct speech, being robbed by drug using grandchildren, illegal aliens, and handing out money they busted their asses to make, and bailouts paid for with our tax dollars? What if they quit banks and bought gold?

What if they said “N-O!” to the media mind set about the boomer health image promoted and paid for by the drug companies and instead decided to prove them all wrong? What if: Boomers decided to walk every day, eat whatever makes them feel REALLY good, work as long as they want to, and said “to hell with social security just give me back everything I invested!”

It can be done, you know! It can. We can.

There is a SEVENTY SEVEN MILLION strong mindset that says we can do anything we put our minds to if we want to.  Who wants to join me? I am game if you are!

Start here: Do what you can do. Make your list and check it twice.

1. New mental image.
2. Walk daily morning.
3. Filtered water every hour.
4. No more red meat.
5. Lots of fresh veggies and fruits.
6. Daily protein powder drinks.
7. Daily gym-you got to move to improve.Do something to first strengthen your upper body-arms-back. Start light then build.
8.Meditate daily. Just clear your head of all the chatter for 15 minutes so you can tell when its actually you thinking and not another instant replay.
9. Acknowledge God’s life in you many times daily. Feel “the Light that never fails” no matter what name you call that Light.
10. Be gratitude-filled daily.
11. Reduce medications gradually as you feel better.
12. Stop making excuses.
13. Stop thinking  of yourself as an old fart.
14. Stop acting like an old fart.
15. Go on vacation as often as you can.
16. Discover IntraMax liquid vitamins by Dr.Drucker. (the best I ever found!)
17.Start treating yourself like today is the first day of your future.
18.Fall in love with first with yourself and then with your spouse again.
19.Walk daily evenings after dinner. (beach, park, school)
20. Hang around younger people and raise your energetic vibration to match theirs.
21.Be positive.Think positive. Act positive. Speak positive.
22. Focus only on what you can do. Forget what you cannot do. You’ll get there or you won’t.
23. Buy a mini trampoline and use it. (they come with handrails if needed).
24. Learn to increase your oxygen via all the above methods.
25. Mean it!
26. If you live near the ocean go sit in the water as often as you can. Take your chair and get 20 minutes of sun too.
27. Get 20 minutes of sun daily anyway. (you need the vitamin D)
29. Write about your life and find the passion, the experience, the purpose. If you don’t want to write, record it.
30.Make an endless list of all the things you still want to do and start doing them.
31. Do something you have always wanted to do and do NOT be afraid and if you are, feel the fear and do it anyway!
32. Get your teeth fixed, have your eyes done, whatever; just do something that makes you feel good that maybe no one else thinks you should “waste your money (their inheritance) on!”
33. Buy that boat, collectible car, beach house or whatever it is you used to promise yourself you’d have one day and celebrate your new beginning!

34. Garden. Sing. Dance. Ride a bike.

35. Find a Core Health Workshop and get your “will to live” back up to 100% asap.

36.Find a Heart Forgiveness Workshop and forgive yourself then everybody else -  from your heart not your head. Take back your life!

Most Important-Find a friend and support each other.

Start a Meetup group and make your lists. Make a plan and see it through. Live like each day has meaning the way one does when one is looking toward the FUTURE not at the PAST. Face forward and walk toward the sun!

See you in a year! Good Luck and Have Fun!

Are You READY for Amazing Health?

Have you been thinking about lifestyle changes that will get you physically healthy again? Are you one of the 1 percenters ready to shift?

Lots of Baby Boomers are thinking about it. If you’re really ready, quit thinking and start doing.

We are looking for the 1% of all Baby Boomers on the tipping point – ready to tip over into a new, robust healthy lifestyle. Ready to let go of belief systems that don’t work any more and do not serve us mentally, emotionally or physically – and probably never have.

Why are we looking for you? Because if you’re ready, we know you’ll get involved and we know that we can help make a difference.

This is not a network marketing plan either. This is the primary Healthy Wealthy Boomer theme: How to make the 2nd 50 years Better than the 1st.

Getting in shape and FEELING GREAT does not have to be a trauma event. It should be fun – like baking cookies with our grand children. It doesn’t require making a huge change in your life to get started. Making incremental changes is easy as it should be. When things are both complex and not fun, human nature is such that we won’t do them – or at least we won’t stick with the program long enough to make a difference.

Who am I to buck human nature?

Where the 1 Percenters Can Start…

Start with simple things you can do right away that don’t require effort and do not cost money.

For example, if your morning ritual is meeting your friend for coffee at your favorite espresso shop,  maybe you can start by walking to meet your friend for coffee every morning. Maybe you can cut your latte down from a grande to a tall. Start eating carrot and celery sticks 3 times a week (as a snack in the afternoon) and cut back the number of times you eat fried food.

Start cooking at home more and learn how to make delicious, simple and healthy meals. If you don’t cook, take a cooking class or get together with friends and start cooking healthy recipes together.

Buy a blender and start making awesome healthy ice blended drinks or fruit smoothies. It’s a great time for smoothies since it’s summer time.

This is not about Jenny Craig or The  Biggest Loser. It’s about making a choice to enjoy your life better, to be happier and to LIVE LONGER.

Jamie Oliver has started something awesome that he calls the Food Revolution. He’s traveling around the US trying to get people focused on children’s  nutrition in schools and bring enough attention to it to get something done about the horrendous nutrition quality in school food programs for kids. It all starts at home and even if your kids are grown, you can get involved with your grandchildren’s food.

Awareness is a good place to start.

Here is a video of Jamie Oliver talking about how much sugar there is in commercial fruit juices.

A recipe for smoothies as an alternative follows. Here is a smoothie recipe from Jamie Oliver: Frozen Fruit Smoothies.

Many Baby Boomers realize that it’s time to do something different. The online estimates are huge – somewhere in the nature of ~23 million Baby Boomers are obese depending on the stats you read.

Obesity defined: Source: answers.com/topic/obesity

Obesity traditionally has been defined as a weight at least 20% above the weight corresponding to the lowest death rate for individuals of a specific height, gender, and age (ideal weight).

More recent guidelines for obesity use a measurment called BMI (body mass index) which is the individual’s weight multiplied by 703 and then divided by twice the height in inches. BMI of 25.9–29 is considered overweight; BMI over 30 is considered obese.

Harv Eker, founder of Peak Potentials – says,

“Clarity is Power.”

And I agree with him. Clarity can be power. Part of achieving clarity is knowing what it is you are going to do and why you are going to do it.

To some degree, clarity comes from the commitment to follow through on what you are talking about doing. To restate that what I am saying is:

Action is required for clarity to be power.

Otherwise it is just talk.

It’s funny, really, how we do things over and over that don’t work. We choose physical patterns that are are rooted in dysfunctional emotional stuff without being aware that we do it. It has become – for whatever reason – the default. When something becomes a default in human consciousness, it is no longer a conscious choice.

It is an unconscious choice.

At some point, we accept that default and get used to living with it. Sometimes clarity comes through waking up or snapping out of it – out of a walking dream state of semi-conscious behavior – a type of comatose that we have grown to accept as normal. To my way of thinking, anything but vibrant health is not a natural default, although it may be normal.

The greatest obstacles to overcome regarding health are belief systems.

What makes me an authority on this? This is an aspect of what we teach in Core Health workshops. Over and over again we see that this is true. We show people a way out of the rut and how to make new energy choices and it works.

The media and mainstream medical systems love to reinforce our dependency on the need to confer with them about everything related to our health.

Why?

Being healthy’s up to each of us. It’s part of our autonomy – part of our authenticity. We don’t need anybody’s permission to be healthy. Create your own clarity and clarify your power. It is such a great sense of release and a sense of in-powerment to take control of your health.

Choose your own perspective on health – choose a new version that suits you better and start challenging what the powers that be say to you over and over again.

Choose CHRONIC WELLNESS instead. Be a 1 percenter and jump in, if you’re ready for health.

Update on the Baby Boomer Six Pack Blog…

A few weeks ago, I declared my intention to get into training mode physically and mentally targeting SIX PACK ABS by my birthday.

I hereby announce that I have to postpone this for two months – maybe three.

I am still working on re-establishing my daily routine and implementing the system I created in “Look Better and Feel Better in 60 Days“. However, I will hold off on the intense workout routine until I complete some “corrective training” to re-align and reduce the compensation effect related to the information that follows.

Note the operating word : Postpone – not BAIL…

Here’s why…

When I spoke to my mentor (Dr. Ed Carlson) about it at lunch in Gulfport, Fl the following week, he took a good look at my posture and suggested that before I go into training mode, I should go visit Randy Clark in Clearwater, Fl. Randy is partners with Paul St John (yes THE Paul St John – founder of the Paul St John Method of Neuro-muscular Therapy) at the St John-Clark Pain Treatment Center.

Dr Ed Carlson (my mentor) and Paul St John are old friends and have worked together for many years. A few years ago, Paul St. John and Randy Clark became partners.

Smart People Listen to Good Advice…

I had heard Randy speak at the Core Health Facilitators Update several weeks preceding this conversation and found his work to be fascinating. Over the years – although stubborn and resistant at times – I have learned that smart people listen to good advice. In 11 1/2 months Dr. Ed Carlson has never once given me a bad piece of advice. So I went to meet Randy.

Here is my take on how integrative neurosomatic therapy works…

Basically what these guys do is manipulate the muscles to release contraction. And recently they have learned something new. It is actually easier to get the muscles to relax by massaging and manipulating the “organs” associated with different muscles groups and associated meridians. Apparently this is far more effective than working on the muscles directly and in a very short period of time, by manipulating the organs the muscles relax automatically.

As therapy progresses, and the muscles relax to a normal state, many skeletal alignment issues correct naturally as a function of releasing the tension in the muscles.

While it is far more complex than this, this description is basically the idea. There is a lot that Paul St John and Randy have learned about the relationship between the neural net and muscles – and how they “interact and fire”.

In a nutshell, contracted muscles that stay that way for an extended period of time actually create a “lock” and significant tension in the surrounding muscle groups, associated meridians, organs and connecting tissues. This muscle contraction often creates tilts in the skeletal systems and can create long term complications if not treated.

My Personal Physical Situation Right Now…

In my personal case, Randy Clark showed me that this muscle contraction (and compensation) has created a head tilt to the right as well as a pelvic tilt to the right and several issues related to the neck and shoulder.

Unresolved this could transform – over time – into a permanent physical pattern for me and this is unacceptable.

So…

In addition, my primary front abdominal muscle is “not firing”. Apparently when the surgeon cut through that muscle for a hernia operation in 1977, the neural connection to that muscle shut down. What that means is that when the brain sends the signal to “fire” that muscle, the message never gets there through the neural net. From their clinical experience and observation over a long period of time, this is quite a common problem after surgery – for many types of abdominal surgery for both men and women.

The rub is that most physicians are not aware that this is the case and 9 times out of 10 they recommend physical therapy as the post operative treatment. What this means (if these guys are right and I think they are) is that the recommended post operative therapy (which is exactly what the doctor ordered) is often exactly what is not needed for the client. What they need instead is to relax the muscles, where the physical therapy actually induces muscle contraction.

Anyway back to my situation…

No wonder doing 2500 ab crunches a day (I worked up to that because as my friend Holly says, ” I tend to be an overachiever”) in a workout program several years ago did nothing to help my front abdominal core. The ab muscle itself was not firing. So all the surrounding muscles had to take up the slack and “compensate”. Needless to say this can create numerous issues – like a chain reaction in the body. I have a high pain thresh hold, so over time my body adjusted to the contraction and the compensation and – in time – this became normal.

Dr. Ed Carlson often points out that:

“There is a difference between normal and natural. Natural being the most healthy and normal being what MOST of us do, most of the time.”

My personal challenge to everybody who wants to change their life (and particularly Boomers) from normal to natural:

“I intend to set the bar high as a healthy boomer challenging all Baby Boomers to move from being NORMAL to NATURAL and I invite all of you (whether you are a Boomer or not)” – to participate.”

In 2003, I broke my left wrist in 7 places . In 2005 and 2006 there were additional injuries. The first was when I did a one point landing – full body weight – on the side of my neck and right clavicle. From 2005 until 2010, the clavicle was partially separated the whole time (until an amazing man, Grand Master David Harris reset it). I also sustained a knee injury, landing on a piece of steel full body weight in 2006.

I mention these experiences because they exacerbated the issues that had existed within my body without my knowledge for many years.

So here’s the deal…

When I get:

all the “coiled and contracted” muscles in my body relaxed and normalized and then naturalized

and when we correct the mis-alignments

get the ab firing again and

build muscle in the right places – correctively – to hold everything in alignment, the way it should be

Then I will actively take up the abs challenge again. Maybe the new target will be September instead of July, not sure yet. I am really glad that I found these things out because building significant muscle mass and more tension would have potentially compounded the problems and created serious negative long term side effects.

Thanks Dr. Ed and Randy Clark…

Future Baby Boomer Six Pack Updates

From April 28-May 2, I attended the annual Silent Re~Treat that Dr Ed Carlson has been facilitating for over 25 years. During that 4 1/2 days of Unceasing Meditation, I learned a good deal about what else has been going on in my neck – not just the “what”, also the “why” and what to do about it.

This is part of the solution to my situation and the physical expression of who I AM.

I’ll talk about the emotional and “feelings” aspects of this and how it integrates into my overall personal solution in further Baby Boomer Six Pack Updates…
