What If…All Boomers Decided to be Healthy and Wealthy?
Imagine this: Seventy seven million 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. They 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.
They – 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.

Another follow up with the Healthy Boomer Six Pack Challenge:
Reminder ==> Being Healthy Is A Lot of Fun
So often – as a culture – we make drudgery out of exercise and working out. My friend Trever McGhee said something in a video today that made a lot of sense.
Trever came up with his new word of the day: “Livit”, a contraction of the two words “Live it”.
He asked the question, “Who ever came up with the word “diet” anyway? Ever time you say the word, your body contracts because the word “die” is in it – so your body thinks it’s going to die and it associates it with the food around die-ting. No wonder the body doesn’t want to loose wait, it’s afraid to release anything or it might die. So instead of talking about a diet, he chooses to focus on a LIVIT.
I like that Trever. Quite brilliant actually.
Back to ‘drudgery’ and a work-out. I’m choosing to use the word play-in.
Various aspects of this:
You may have noticed that the word ends with “in”. I chose this because it implies within us instead outside of us – whereas outside implies separation.
Play-in makes a game or fun out of the experience – one of internal playfulness and joy. Just say the word “PLAY” to yourself, out loud a few times, and see if your energy doesn’t shift. “The idea of play” makes me feel more relaxed and like I should smile and anticipate having a good time. It makes me think of kids and enjoying myself. I think about laughing and making noise and all the things we used to do when we were kids.
Adults for the most-part are lousy at playing. Life is serious, after all. We must take life seriously or we aren’t being responsible, right?
If we’re having fun, we can’t be taking it seriously.
WHO SAYS SO?
If you’re like me, you agree we can have fun and still take our duties and obligations to heart, responsibly.
Work is not a word that makes people feel all warm and fuzzy (unless of course you’re a Core Health Facilitator or a successful internet marketer – where work is pure pleasure). In general terms when most of us HEAR AND SAY THE WORD: WORK, it makes us feel tired.
And just to prove a point, I had Alexandra energy measure me personally for the word:
I said the word: WORK and it made me go weak.
I said the word: PLAY and I tested strong.
This is interesting and it follows what Dr Ed Carlson teaches us in Core Health about the power of language and choosing words carefully. Thats why, for example, he calls work-shops ==> play-shops. And that’s why Dr. Ed uses the word:
Re~Treat instead of retreat. Think about it for a second: We get to RE -”TREAT” ourselves (we get another treat) or we can retreat (run away)…
Kind of interesting , yes?
Anyway, this is the idea behind looking forward to PLAY-in instead of doing a WORK-out.
Your health and your body are a joy and a miracle. Start digging it and expressing that internal self-love. It’s healthy and thinking it and saying it are good for your health.
Make the Healthy Boomer Six Pack Challenge fun for you. Take a yoga or pilates class, start learning ballroom dancing, ride a bike everyday, take long fast walks, swim or all of the above. Take up martial arts or qigong. Start having fun and concentrate on doing things you love – that make you feel good. Become a healthy wealthy boomer too. You have the brains and you have the experience, you’re a Baby Boomer. Go for it.
BTW, anyone can participate, not just baby boomers.
That’s the way to get a six pack.

Baby Boomer Six Pack Update…
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…

Baby Boomer Six Pack
Baby Boomer Six Pack – All You Can Drink…
Gotcha. I’m talking about six pack abs – not beer. You know the kind of sexy abs that look great at the beach. I’m on a mission and I could use your support. Will you help me?
First A Little Personal History
Back in November 2008, I was talking to my close friend on the phone who said that he and a mutual friend of ours had decided to lose weight together. So on that call, I committed to my friend to join in and get below 200 pounds by my birthday the following July (2009). Along came July and I was under 200 pounds for the first time in a number of years.
This year, I’ve made a different commitment with less time to accomplish it. What’s the commitment?
6 PACK ABS BY MY BIRTHDAY IN JULY.
This is on the radical side – time wise -and a tough target but I’m confident that I can do this. Last time I lost the weight almost exclusively as a result of increased physical activity – initially by walking 5-7 miles a day in the mountains of Pennsylvania and later by adding back in Tibetan Rites, Qigong and reduced food intake to my daily routines.
I’ve tried the six pack abs thing before unsuccessfully. I even blogged about it in 2008: Why Can’t I Get Six Pack Abs?
Why Will I Be Successful This Time?
My plan will succeed because I’m refining my physical routine again plus adding a significant focus on raw foods and being specific about getting enough of the right kind of fat.
This is my physical regimen between now and July:
- Walking 3-5 miles a day aggressively
- Tibetan Rites every day
- Qigong 3-4 times a week
- Free weights: (to build up my upper body to strength level that preceded my broken wrist in 2003) 3- sets of 12, 10, 8, 6 alternating on each arm with starting with 10 pound weights and working my way up to 40 pound weights.
- I will also be using diet suggestions and core exercises recommended in Mike Geary’s incredibly successful e-book: The Truth About Abs.
Note: Personal Recommendation – Over the last couple of years, I’ve been following Mike. I think he is the genuine article and really walks his talk. I always read his newsletter and the more I read it, the more I realize that our health philosophies are really in alignment. Lots of things I have been saying for years keep coming out in his newsletters. Nice to get validation from a certified personal trainer and certified nutrition specialist. I highly recommend Truth About Abs for anybody serious about health and getting in shape – and the bonuses that come with his – e-book are really awesome.
Something else is different too.
Combined with Geary’s core strength recommendations I’m adding another tool: Core Health. Coupled with my physical regimen this creates a Baby Boomer Secret Weapon – and if I am right – the tools for a Baby Boomer Six Pack.
In 2009, I found Core Health. I liked it so much that I moved from Montana to Florida to study it with the founder, Dr. Ed Carlson, and after months of study and multiple joyful, expansive weekend intensives, I received my certification as a Core Health facilitator last December.
While the physical aspects of exercise and diet are very important, there are other things that are just as important and perhaps even more so – attitude and energy. From what I have learned in Core Health during 2009, I am convinced that when I lock in my commitment to succeeding at creating 6 pack abs using the DTQ techniques and making new energy decisions, I will succeed 100%.
The proof is in the pudding. Results are all that matters.
I am going to blog about this process the whole way and post videos and blogs about my routines from now until my birthday. I’m looking for some support. Just an occasional “atta-boy” and blog comments along the way would really help. Are you with me?
Away we go…
Watch as my baby boomer six pack materializes before your eyes between now and July.

Are You a Healthy Boomer? I AM.
Are You a Healthy Boomer?
If you are – good for you. If you’re not yet, you can be. 2010 is the year for great possibilities.
New Years resolutions tend to be an annual ritual for many of us as we reflect upon the year that we are leaving behind and look forward to potential in the new year. Why do health club memberships skyrocket every year about this time and then peter out around March?
Basically new years resolutions never work and there is a good reason for that which I will address later in this post.
What gives ME the right to “preach”?
Because I AM a Healthy Boomer.
It is not an accident that guys half my age call me Mr. Energy. I have been focused on a healthy and natural lifestyle since 1971 – with some glitches and bumps along the way – but overall, throughout most of that time, I have chosen a path of “excellent health and vitality” as my standard. My lifelong motto has been this: I DON’T DO SICK. I have chosen a life of health as a conscious decision.
At age 18, I decided to take responsibility for my health. I made a choice to follow a path that would lead to longevity – and a vibrant, healthy life – not just a long one. I started looking at people around me and noticed how some older people had beautiful skin and bright shiny eyes and others seemed withered, with dry skin and dull eyes. Some had a bounce in their step with lots of energy, while for others, walking was difficult and labored.
I made a life choice – there and then – that I would be a member of the former group, and not the latter.
As a result of that life choice, my health journey began with the following questions emerging within my consciousness and becoming a dominant force in my life:
- How do I do that?
- How do I live a long and vibrantly healthy life?
- What constitutes this kind of lifestyle?
- How do I define this for myself?
- What rules do I need to live by?
That may not seem like a big deal to you – now – as you read this.
Consider this: On a personal level, what were you thinking about – around health - at age a 18?
In retrospect, for an invincible, highly energetic, 18 year old ‘hot shot’ – with a metabolism that required 6 full meals a day – that was a pretty profound choice and decision.
One of the things that had led up to that decision was the loss of my dearest and closest friend about a year earlier. He and his brother were both killed in a head-on by a drunk driver. His death forced me to consider mortality for the second time in my life.
Only this experience was different, it went to my core.
I went deep and sought resolution within myself. As I pondered life and death coherently and cogently, I chose to redirect my life towards another path. I withdrew from the circle of friends I had known and associated with – completely – and embarked upon my own path, alone. On some level I understood that if I did not, I would end up like my dear friend had.
Health became a driving force as a martial arts enthusiast and an “A” student in my first year of college, as a full time accounting major.
The regimen of rigorous training – 6 times a week at the dojo – and 3 to 4 hours of study daily quickly formed a solid pattern of self discipline – a skill that has been a real benefit since.
Self Discipline Is a Key Ingredient to Health…
Where it is most important – in my experience – is upholding our choices and being disciplined in our own willingness to follow through on those choices over the long haul. Consistency is what creates self discipline. And consistency in our attitude creates good health over time.
Over many years I have observed human behavior in a class and training environments – originally in martial arts and for the last 22 years, in qigong and the self development world. What I know is that people have to start where they are, with the existing skills they have – and build success upon those.
This is my mission with Baby Boomers to promote and in-power Baby Boomer health.
Why Don’t New Years Resolutions Work?
Here’s why.
Changing your mind does not change your energy body – your blueprint – until your mind and your energy body are in alignment. When you change in your root – in your energy – the change is permanent.
How do we do that?
I have looked for a method that works for everybody my whole life and in 2009 I found it. It’s called Core Health, a system of comprehensive kinesiology that both encompasses and expands upon:
- behavioral kinesiology and
- energy psychology
I liked it so much I moved from Montana to Florida and have just completed my certification as a Core Health Facilitator.
This is the most comprehensive and effective system I have ever studied and I want to teach anyone – who is sincerely ready for a change in their life – how to change their lives with new energy decisions that are permanent.
Find out more about Core Health Workshops and Heart Forgiveness and Funny with Money for 2010 and make this the year you become a Healthy Boomer. Workshops forming right now in the Sarasota, Nokomis, St Petersburg and Tampa areas.

Healthy Wealthy Boomer: Core Health and Heart Forgiveness
Healthy Wealthy Boomer is back on the radar with a lot to say…
After 35+ years of search and study – looking for the best ways to achieve comprehensive natural health most effectively, I finally found what I have been looking for:
- Core Health
- Heart Forgiveness
- Funny With Money
My discovery is THE ultimate Baby Boomer natural health solution and over the next few months we’ll fill you in on the details. This system is endorsed by both Dr. Bruce Lipton and Gregg Braden.
The last six months have been an accelerated period of energy expansion and learning. During that time I have been an active participant in 7 weekend sessions of intensive training in Energy Essentials facilitator certification courses.
I am eager to tell you about my experiences as a student of Core Health, Heart Forgiveness and Funny with Money. As of this date, I am now a certified Core Health Facilitator, Heart Forgiveness Facilitator and a Funny with Money Facilitator.
There are so many meaningful relationships that have grown out of this training as well as so many wonderful experiences.
Dr. Ed Carlson is the founder of Energy Essentials. He has become my mentor, trainer and a dear friend. Dr. Ed is one of those rare individuals that is both a research medical professional and an intuitive. He is driven by the desire to contribute and make a difference in humanity.
Core Health, also known as comprehensive kinesiology, is a system of energy expansion based on principles and functional applications of kinesiology, cutting edge biology and quantum physics.
Core Health is all about energy.
Life energy flows through plants, animals and people as a function of aliveness. When we cut a flower from a bush, it starts to wilt.
Life energy show up as an heart EKG and a brain EEG – no waves, no life.
We can measure what enhances life energy and what diminishes it and the simple measuring device is your arm.
Core Health is a system to clean out all the energetic and emotional junk and debris accumulated throughout our life. We free up and clear our true core of health that we were born with.
Heart Forgiveness is a system to remove and clear the anger we have been carrying around most of our lives – whether we are aware of it or not. Once we remove the anger, forgiveness is easy – forgiving others and most importantly forgiving ourselves.
Funny With Money is a workshop that consciously teaches us how to identify and release all negative programming about money in our lives.
All three are amazing and fun.
