I've travelled the world; co-host a podcast; started my own companies and charity; worked for a number of prominent non-profits within Canada; helped author and publish a book on Community-based Climate Action; earned a university degree in Marketing and a graduate certificate in Public Relations; attained high accreditations in both yoga and martial arts while also teaching

extensively; explored both the esoteric and the extravagant; written for prestigious blogs and started my own; played in garage bands and recorded songs; learned to shoot photo, video and design websites with a DIY mindset; discovered a lot about the civilized world and the one that most people rarely ever get to seeโ€”and do you know what Iโ€™ve realized and continue to realize, despite all of that? Itโ€™s not what you know, but what you do that matters most! Presence-in-our-presence is one of the most difficult, but important undertakings that one could ever hope to achieve. How many times have you not only been here, but truly โ€œhereโ€? It is only the artist, the true seeker, who can both see and express to the world what it may not have noticed at all. Selling stories is what I do. What is it that you see and what do you want others to see? For, the most important vehicle of communication is our chosen narrative; transfiguring what is being communicated and adjusting what is being understood, all at the same time. I help to manifest the reality of what you choose to depict, not just by what is desired, but by what is real, honest, authentic and true. We all have a storyโ€”what's yours?

Trauma and healing modalities aside, my biggest takeaway from this book was the realization of the ๐š๐š’๐šœ๐šŒ๐š˜๐š—๐š—๐šŽ๐šŒ๐š, through a lack in understanding that modern society has propagated, between our body and our mind and how ๐ญ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ž ๐ก๐ž๐š๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐  can only begin once these two have become ๐™ง๐™š๐™˜๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™ฃ๐™ฃ๐™š๐™˜๐™ฉ๐™š๐™™ ๐Ÿซ€๐Ÿค๐Ÿง  not to mention, the book also places a great deal of emphasis on the power of yoga and martial arts for being able to rebuild this connection (two practices Iโ€˜m intimately familiar with โœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜Ž) ๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿฅ‹

If the ultimate goal in life is to eventually achieve ๐•„๐• ๐•œ๐•ค๐•™๐•’ (the liberation from oneโ€™s own suffering) then ๐“œ๐“ฒ๐“ท๐“ญ๐“ฏ๐“พ๐“ต๐“ท๐“ฎ๐“ผ๐“ผ would be the fist step in the process of getting to ๐˜’๐˜ฏ๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ ๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜บ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ๐˜ญ๐˜ง and begin the journey of transformational healing ๐Ÿชž๐Ÿ’šโœจ
