			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><h2>May 2011 Heart Forgiveness Workshops Forming Now in Sarasota&#8230;</h2>
<p>A primary Healthy Wealthy Boomer recommendation is participating in a Heart Forgiveness Workshop because  it helps release toxins, balance our emotions and create the <a title="Relaxation Response" href="http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/relaxation+response" target="_blank">relaxation response</a>.</p>
<p>Anger releases toxins into the body that linger for a sustained period of time in the body. These toxins create many long term negative side effects.</p>
<p>Releasing anger permanently is such an important tool for balance and clarity. We all can benefit by learning to live without anger and that&#8217;s what we do in Heart Forgiveness Workshops.</p>
<p>Time and again we see people change, expand and release. Years of anger smoldering beneath the surface &#8211; the kind of anger that we are often not consciously aware that we have inside &#8211; gone,  just like that.</p>
<p>Heart Forgiveness is a highly effective, interactive, 4 session workshop done in groups of less than fifteen people.</p>
<p>This month we are starting two new Heart Forgiveness groups and one Core Health Group:</p>
<ol>
<li>Heart Forgiveness Intensive where we do all four expansion levels starting the week of May 9.</li>
<li>Heart Forgiveness Group that will run for two weeks beginning the week of May 16th.</li>
<li>Core Health 1 &#8211; Expansion Levels 1-6:  Building A Solid Self</li>
</ol>
<p>Get more information and details about May Heart Forgiveness Workshops and how to sign up here:</p>

<p><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 28px;"><strong>Are You Ready </strong><strong>To Release Anger from Your Life Once and For All?</strong></span></p>
<p>Join the many satisfied participants &#8211; and <strong>healthy boomers</strong> &#8211; who have already taken and enjoyed great results from Heart Forgiveness and Core Health.

<div><strong><a href="http://tobehealthy.com/SRC4U" target="_blank">Grand Master David and SRC4U Software</a></strong></div>
<p><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px;">Ever noticed how there are turning points in our lives? And have you also noticed that many times we do not recognize those turning points when they are occurring?</span></p>
<div>
<p>Earlier in life, it was easy for me to miss these events &#8211; only to recognize them in retrospect. At this stage of my life, it seems much easier not to overlook important moments. As if a new type of radar has been installed in my consciousness that activates in internal notification system to:</p>
<p><strong>PAY ATTENTION&#8230;</strong></p>
</div>
<p><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px;">Meeting Grand Master David was one of those turning points in my life. It was also a fundamental <em><strong>point of correction</strong>, c</em>oupled with Core Health (the work of Dr Ed Carlson), my life has changed &#8211; for the better &#8211; significantly in the last two years.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px;">And that&#8217;s a good thing. It was time.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px;">Facilitating Core Health Workshops and Heart Forgiveness Workshops over the last year and a half has given me a renewed sense of purpose in my life. Over and over again, we see people shifting, expanding and releasing old emotional baggage and energy glitches that somehow ran their subconscious minds for years without being aware of it.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px;">What we are doing as Core Health Facilitators really makes a difference for many people and is incredibly satisfying work.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px;">Another turning point is taking place right now.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px;">Grand Master David, the youngest martial arts Grandmaster in the world and an exceptional Qigong man, has spent the better part of the last four years creating a software that he describes as a Qigong Enhancement Tool.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px;">His knowledge and dedication to humanity unparalleled and I recognize the magnitude and value of this tool he has created for the long term.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px;">The name of his software is SRC4U (spiritual real time correction) and you can find out more here:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 21px;"><a href="http://tobehealthy.com/SRC4U">SRC4U FREE TRIAL</a> &lt;== Here</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px;">There are two ways to try the software for free:</span></p>
<div>
<ol>
<li>Download a copy of the free Ultra Lite version to keep.</li>
<li>Download a 2 week trial of the Premium SRC4U version</li>
</ol>
<div>There are also 4 links to different articles at the top of that page &#8211; 3 of them about Grandmaster David.</div>
</div>
<p><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px;">Health, old technology and 21st century technology are really coming together. You can enhance and accelerate what ever methods you are using to become a healthy wealthy boomer with SRC4U.</span></p>
<div>Check this out and try the software for yourself. We&#8217;d love to hear back from you.</div>
<p><span style="font-size: 13px; line-height: 22px;">Having an awesome day in Sarasota, Fl&#8230;</span></p>

<p><strong>Grand  Master David  Harris Came to Town March 24</strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>We&#8217;re excited for several reasons.</p>
<p><span style="line-height: 27px;">Having an opportunity to host such an amazing guest is an honor and a rare experience.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 27px;">GM David was World Kumite Champion for two years, set a world record in brick </span>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.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 15px; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 28px;">People in attendance really liked GM David&#8217;s down to earth presence, humility,  great</span></p>
<div id="attachment_432" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 311px">
	<a href="http://tobehealthy.com/grand-master-david-SRC4U-software.htm" target="_blank"><img class="size-full wp-image-432" title="gmdavidsignup311x433" src="http://healthywealthyboomer.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/gmdavidsignup311x433.jpg" alt="" width="311" height="433" /></a>
	<p class="wp-caption-text">FREE TRIAL SRC4U</p>
</div>
<p>sense of humor, and the new <strong><a title="Grand Master David's SRC4U Qigong Enhancer" href="http://tobehealthy.com/grand-master-david-SRC4U-software.htm" target="_blank">SRC4U</a></strong> software he presented.</p>
<p><strong>← Try SRC4U Free. You&#8217;ll like it really.</strong></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 27px;">There is potential for many people to benefit as a result of this revolutionary and powerful technology.</span></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Yet the connection goes deeper than that. GM David noticed &#8211; in his work with Core Health students and facilitators over the last few years &#8211; 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.</p>
<p>Here is what he says:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;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.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>My Personal Experience With Grand Master David&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>This man gives 100% of himself to help others and humanity.</p>
<p><a title="Grand Master David" href="http://www.shunshentao.com/GMD-BIOpg.htm" target="_blank">Grand Master David</a> (&lt;== read more here) is a wonderful, charming and lively human being and an old soul.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><strong>If You Want to Be A Healthy Boomer, Study Qigong</strong></p>
<p>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&#8217;s energy and power is both amazing and unparalleled.</p>
<p>This is compounded by his well delineated level of Spiritual development and accomplishment.</p>
<p><strong>SRC4U &#8211; Qigong Energy Enhancer</strong></p>
<p>In an effort to help as many people as possible &#8211; and to effectively multiply himself &#8211; 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 &#8216;organic&#8217; qigong technology and 21st century technology.</p>
<p>He recently released the software, called SRC4U (spiritual real time correction), you can try his software for free &#8211; two ways:</p>
<ol>
<li>a free version called Ultra Lite</li>
<li>a two week free trial of the Premium Version</li>
</ol>
<p>Go here to get the download links: <a title="Grand Master David SRC4U" href="http://tobehealthy.com/grand-master-david-SRC4U-software.htm" target="_blank">SRC4U</a></p>
<p>We have been running this software for about 2 weeks. It&#8217;s kind of like a genie in the lamp. It&#8217;s an amazing program that can help in many ways.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>If anyone knows how to teach us to be a Healthy Boomer, he does. He knows how to build a healthy wealthy boomer.</p>
<p>It is an honor to call Grand Master David my friend.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>People would like to hear what you have to say.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><h2>Healthy Wealthy Boomer Authenticity</h2>
<h3><strong>Are you authentic?</strong></h3>
<p>Why is being authentic such a big deal and so appealing?</p>
<p>Because, authenticity is interwoven into our health and wealth as a fundamental ingredient of being a <a title="Healthy Wealthy Boomer" href="http://healthywealthyboomer.com" target="_blank">Healthy Wealthy Boomer</a>.</p>
<p>Authenticity is only difficult when you are<strong> trying</strong> &#8211; instead of <em><strong>being -</strong></em> authentic  and people see the difference. People know inherently when you are being real and coming from the heart. It&#8217;s something we read through all the unspoken things, intuitively.</p>
<p>Most people &#8211; who seem real &#8211; are.</p>
<p><strong>Expressing authenticity is also a sign of health.</strong></p>
<p>From personal observation, we watch time and again as participants in Core Health workshops and <a title="Heart Forgiveness Workshops" href="http://heartforgiveness.wordpress.com/2011/03/13/sarasota-heart-forgiveness-workshops-march-2011/" target="_blank">Heart Forgiveness workshops</a> release old baggage, trauma, confusion and emotional junk.  This happens through participating in the processes of the workshops which are designed to clean out the junk and leave the &#8220;good stuff&#8221;.</p>
<p>The result?</p>
<p>What&#8217;s left are the positives &#8211; the natural part in each of us.</p>
<p>Participants begin to reconnect to their inner core of health and to take their identity from within themselves &#8211; again &#8211; as they did when they were young children. In the process many rediscover their own authenticity.</p>
<p>Their individual-<em><strong>ness</strong></em> becomes more visible, active and available in their behavior and attitudes. It is as if a dormant computer program gets activated and the &#8220;real person&#8221; &#8211; the authentic version of themselves &#8211; steps forward to participate in life &#8211; again.</p>
<h3><strong><span style="font-size: 16px; color: #444444; line-height: 24px;">Authenticity also is a big part of long term, healthy business relationships. </span></strong></h3>
<h3><span style="font-size: 16px; color: #444444; line-height: 24px;">It impacts people in business, customers who buy from us and most things financial. Integrity, trust, credibility and reliability are part of the picture. Like the old business adage says: </span><span style="font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; color: #444444; line-height: 24px;"><strong>People like to do business with their friends.</strong></span></h3>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px; color: #444444; line-height: 24px;">We want to be friends with authentic people. Of course we want to do business with them.</span></p>
<h3><span style="font-size: 16px; font-style: italic; color: #444444; line-height: 24px;"><strong></strong></span><span style="font-size: 16px; color: #444444; line-height: 24px;">In my experience around hundreds of speakers and trainers (behind the scenes) when I worked for Peak (and seminars I have attended), I have observed the following to be true:</span></h3>
<blockquote><p><span style="font-size: 15.6px;">Authenticity is fast becoming synonymous with walking our talk &#8211; where walking our talk is not just a coy <em><strong>10 second sound bite</strong></em> for maximum &#8220;PR&#8221; benefit. </span></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="font-size: 15.6px;">It is, by contrast, a quality &#8211; admired by all.</span></p>
<p>It is <strong>both</strong> an attribute <strong>and</strong> a symbol of strength of character.</p>
<p><strong>What is it about Authenticity - or Being Authentic - that we like so much?</strong></p>
<p>Authenticity is uncommon &#8211; particularly in the media and politics.</p>
<p>So, it stands out more dramatically than if it were common place. As a result, authenticity is becoming <strong>pronounced</strong> &#8211; as in &#8220;strongly marked, distinct&#8221;.</p>
<p>We admire risk takers who openly express independent thought and challenge the validity of the status quo. We are attracted to people who are willing to be vulnerable and take the chance of failure in front of others.</p>
<p>We ask ourselves: &#8221;How do they do that? That&#8217;s scary. I wish I could do that.&#8221;</p>
<p>There is enormous peer pressure to conform in today&#8217;s society:</p>
<blockquote>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: 15.6px;">to be careful what we say </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 15.6px;">how we say it</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 15.6px;">who it we say it to</span></li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>The interesting thing is that this effort to modify and alter individual behavior for the good of the many is having the reverse effect.</p>
<p>Inherently in human nature, we are attracted to truth.  Somehow &#8211; on a non-conscious level &#8211; we always know the difference when someone speaks the truth or represents the truth or holds us accountable to the truth.</p>
<p>Here is a quote from Lisa Barone of <a href="http://outspokenmedia.com/blogging/how-to-find-yourself-on-your-blog/" target="_blank">outspokenmedia</a>&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;While I’m sure you’re a very complex and interesting person, the core of you is simple. It’s the you that exists when you’re not trying too hard to be anything else. That’s what people want.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p><span style="font-size: 15.6px;">Here are several web definitions of authenticity that strike a harmonious note:</span></p>

<p>Because it is so rare.</p>
<p>Authenticity includes a component of being singular &#8211; or the attributes of singularity &#8211; the only one like it.</p>
<p>We are attracted to <strong>singularity</strong> because, by definition, there can be only one.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><strong>Are You a Healthy Boomer?</strong></p>
<p>If you are &#8211; good for you. If you&#8217;re not yet, you can be. 2010 is the year for great possibilities.</p>
<p>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?</p>
<p>Basically new years resolutions never work and there is a good reason for that which I will address later in this post.</p>
<p>What gives <strong>ME</strong> the right to &#8220;preach&#8221;?</p>
<p><strong>Because I AM a Healthy Boomer.</strong></p>
<p>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 &#8211; with some glitches and bumps along the way &#8211; but overall, throughout most of that time, I have chosen a path of &#8220;excellent health and vitality&#8221; as my standard. My lifelong motto has been this: I DON&#8217;T DO SICK. I have chosen a life of health as a conscious decision.</p>
<p>At age 18, I decided to take responsibility for my health. I made a choice to follow a path that would lead to longevity &#8211; and a vibrant, healthy life &#8211; 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.</p>
<p>I made a life choice &#8211; there and then &#8211; that I would be a member of the former group, and not the latter.</p>
<blockquote><p>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:</p>
<ul>
<li>How do I do that?</li>
<li>How do I live a long and vibrantly healthy life?</li>
<li>What constitutes this kind of lifestyle?</li>
<li>How do I define this for myself?</li>
<li>What rules do I need to live by?</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<p>That may not seem like a big deal to you &#8211; now &#8211; as you read this.</p>
<p>Consider this: On a personal level, what were you thinking about &#8211; <em><strong>around health </strong></em>- at age a 18?</p>
<p>In retrospect, for an invincible, highly energetic, 18 year old &#8216;hot shot&#8217; &#8211; with a metabolism that required 6 full meals a day &#8211; that was a pretty profound choice and decision.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Only this experience was different, <strong>it went to my core</strong>.</p>
<p>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 &#8211; completely &#8211; 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.</p>
<p>Health became a driving force as a martial arts enthusiast and an &#8220;A&#8221; student in my first year of college, as a full time accounting major.</p>
<p>The regimen of rigorous training &#8211; 6 times a week at the dojo &#8211; and 3 to 4 hours of study daily quickly formed a solid pattern of self discipline &#8211; a skill that has been a real benefit since.</p>
<p><strong>Self Discipline Is a Key Ingredient to Health&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>Where it is most important &#8211; in my experience &#8211; 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.</p>
<p>Over many years I have observed human behavior in a class and training environments &#8211; 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 &#8211; and build success upon those.</p>
<p>This is my mission with Baby Boomers to promote and in-power Baby Boomer health.</p>
<p><strong>Why Don&#8217;t New Years Resolutions Work?</strong></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s why.</p>
<p>Changing your mind does not change your energy body &#8211; your blueprint &#8211; until your mind and your energy body are in alignment. When you change in your root &#8211; in your energy &#8211; the change is permanent.</p>
<p>How do we do that?</p>
<p>I have looked for a method that <strong>works for everybody</strong> my whole life and in 2009 I found it. It&#8217;s called Core Health, a system of <a href="http://corehealthfacilitator.wordpress.com/2009/11/09/comprehensive-kinesiology-core-health/" target="_blank">comprehensive kinesiology</a> that both encompasses and expands upon:</p>
<ul>
<li>behavioral kinesiology and</li>
<li>energy psychology</li>
</ul>
<p>I liked it so much I moved from Montana to Florida and have just completed my certification as a Core Health Facilitator.</p>
<p>This is the most comprehensive and effective system I have ever studied and I want to teach anyone  &#8211; who is sincerely ready for a change in their life &#8211; how to change their lives with new energy decisions that are permanent.</p>
