A Powerful Tool
I could take a long time to explain this and since it is after midnight here that I am writing this here it is.
1st decided on something that you Want to Be.
2nd find a thought that your mind often tells you. This can be something you no longer want in your life.
3rd- Tell your mind that this thought no longer means what it did, instead it now means that you are being want you decided you wanted in the 1st step.
4th step is to go ahead and tell yourself that you are being what you wanted in the 1st step.
Here is what I have been doing in my own life.
1st step: I want to be consciously aware of all my energy and aspects of myself so that I can see what affects that it has in the world and makes conscious decisions.
2nd step: A thought that my mind tells me is to stop by and buy a frosty from Wendy’s or some candy from the store.
3rd step: I have told my mind that these thoughts buying candy etc means that it is telling my that I am becoming and being fully conscious in all aspects of myself.
4th step is I seed this thought into my mind by just thinking about my 1st step of want I want to Be.
A little break down of this. My brain now is telling me what I want everytime it use to tell me something that I did not want. Simple by changing the meaning of what it is telling me. It is already going to tell me to buy a frosty or the candy anyways so Why not have that thought mean what I want in the 1st step.
Leave a comment if you have any thoughts about this post or if you use it in your own life. This is just amazing what has happened for me in the last week of doing this. Talk about the law of attraction taking 10 times bigger. Simple change the meaning of what you mind is already telling you to mean something else.

Excercise for the New Year: Five Tibetan Rites
The following instructions are for the Five Tibetan Rites. When performing these exercises, you may begin with just one, move to increments of three, working up to a maximum of twenty-one. Be mindful of your body and how you are feeling, only do as many as you can without straining yourself.
Rite 1
Stand erect with arms outstretched, horizontal to the floor. If you are in the Northern Hemisphere, hold your left palm facing up, right palm facing down and spin around clockwise. If you are in the Southern Hemisphere, hold your left palm facing down, right palm facing up and spin counter clockwise.
Gradually increase number of spins from 1 spin to 21 spins, in increments of one or three.
Breathing: Inhale and exhale deeply as you do the spins.
Rite 2
First, lie flat on the floor, face up.
Fully extend your arms along your sides, and place the palms of your hands against the floor or under your sacrum for support.
Then, raise your head off the floor, tucking the chin against the chest.
As you do this, lift your legs, knees straight, into a vertical position. If possible, let the legs extend to 90 degrees, using your abdominal muscles; do not let the knees bend.
Then slowly lower both the head and the legs, knees straight, to the floor. Allow all the muscles to relax, continue breathing in the same rhythm.
Gradually increase from 1-21 in increments of three.
Breathing: Breathe in deeply as you lift your head and legs and breathe out, as you lower your head and legs.
Rite 3
Kneel on the floor, with the body erect.
The hands should be placed against the back thigh muscles. Incline the head and
neck forward, tucking the chin against the chest. Then, lift the head and neck backward and arch the spine. Your toes should be curled under during this exercise.
As you arch, you will brace your arms and hands against the thighs for support. After the arching, return
to the original position, and start the rite all over again. Repeat in increments of three, up to 21.
Breathing: Breathe in deeply as you arch the spine, breathe out as you return to an erect position.

Rite 4
Sit down on the floor with your legs straight out in front of you and your feet about 12 inches apart.
With the trunk of the body erect, place the palms of your hands, facing your feet, on the floor alongside the buttocks.
Then, tuck the chin forward against the chest. Now, drop the head backward as far as
it will go.
At the same time, bend your knees, feet flat on the ground and lift the hips up. There should be a straight line from the collar bone to the knees, your back is straight, and the knees bend while the arms remain straight.
The trunk of the body will be in a straight line with the thighs, horizontal to the floor. Relax your muscles as you return to the original sitting position.
Breathing: Breathe in as you raise up, breathe out fully as you come down.
Rite 5
To begin the fifth rite, begin on your hands and knees. The hands should be shoulder width apart with the fingers facing forward. The knees are directly under the hips, shoulder width apart.
Curl your toes forward, to get ready to come up, take your knees off the ground and raise your hips up, to be in a triangle position or downward dog position, the second position from the pictures.
Then, bring legs down to the ground and lift your head up. The spine is arched. Make sure not to strain your back and only go as far as your body is comfortable.
Throughout this rite, the elbows are kept straight.
Breathing: Breathe in deeply as you raise the body, breathe out fully as you lower it.

Defense Physiology-Why do I need to Know?
Why is it so important to know about the defense physiology?
The defense physiology takes up a lot of your energy; it takes 60 to 80% or even more of your energy to hold yourself in the defense physiology. The defense physiology is brought about by the primal brain.
There are three parts to the brain, the frontal lobe, the limbic brain and the reptilian brain, which I refer to as the primal brain.
The frontal lobe is where we process our conscious thought and where we have the ability to make decisions. This is what sets us apart from animals, they do not have a frontal lobe, and they do not have the ability to make a conscious choice.
The limbic brain is where our emotions are and also is concerned with the functions of the body.
The primal brain works in order of priorities of the body, in other words the heart would keep beating before the function of the leg.
The top four priorities of the brain are first of all survival, then feeding, reproduction of cells and the ongoing of the species and the fourth being the auto immune system.
The first priority of survival is flight, fight, fear and faint or freeze.
So the primal brain only knows now, everything that has happened in the past or it thinks it will happen in the future is happening right now. If there is a fear it will put this as the top priority and put the body in a defense physiology therefore this programming is always there until there is release of that programming. With that release it enables the body to use the energy in other priorities of the body.
When the body is consistently out of the defense physiology you will hardly if ever get sick, since the body has all of the available energy to use for the other functions in the body.
I will be talking in later posts about how to release the programming that is holding the body in defense physiology.
Live Well,
Darren Gibson
Being Aware of My Breath
Breath is Life
If I am reading this I am consciously breathing in and out. Each breath is for the moment in and to itself. With each breath you take you inhale more vitality, more life, and more intelligence.
As people get older they breath less. Clue: Breath more, Live longer. Many people are just not aware of their own breath. Now if you don’t think it is important just stop for a while and you will see.
Breath,
Darren
PS: I will be posting later some communication techniques with your body that you can use to breath better.
Who Am I and Where Am I Irresponsible.
“Freedom comes from being responsible for everything in my life.”~Darren
Ok everyone, I am back! My trip to Africa was amazing. I will be posting some pictures on facebook when i get some time so you can check out all the cool sites, smells, and sounds of my trip.
Well, this post today is about 2 things. They are great exercises and tools you can use for yourself.
I am list…
Create a list of I am_________statements. You finish it. Write out 50 of them and more if you want to go even deeper.
There is a second step but if I am not going to tell you just yet because you will get more out of it if you do them in order. Leave you comments when you have finished your list.
It would be fun to have a telecall where out of us could get together on together for 30 minutes to talk about our lists.
Irresponsible list…
Tough and revealing, it can be alot of fun to do. Find those areas in your life where you are being irresponsible. Write as many places that you are being irresponsible.
Pick one and choose to be responsible in it.
Here is a simple example in my life. I like to drink soft drinks, root beer is my favorite. I am being irresponsible first of all by drinking the sugar, second I am supporting a system/company that is perpetuating a cause that I do not believe in.
Irresponsibility is one of the only things standing you your way of having what you want.
South Africa
I am traveling to South Africa starting today. We leave in 15 minutes here from the house.

Healing Story
Hi,
This is a story about my healing. A few thoughts about healing before we begin our story.
Healing happens in the Identity. Who I am? Or who do I identify as being? Often there is something that one identifies with that is not who they really are. I call this part a discord or impostor.
When this impostor is there is creates problems, and resistance.
If the impostor is recognized. I can choose to no longer identify as being that way any longer. This removes the resistance that was being created by the impostor.
On last Friday, I was triggered by a series of events that ended up making me much later then I wanted to be for going somewhere. A lot of emotions came up for me such as anger, resentment for who had made me late. I just felt horrible. My chest and back tightened up my neck starting hurting. I knew that this was something I did not want to do, but I just could not get out of the funk that I was in.
I know many techniques for relaxing and calming the mind. I told my self that I loved myself and the people involved. I forgave myself for being angry. I told my self to relax and I consciously took deep breaths, but nothing was working. I must say this was very frustrating.
I then started to ask myself what part of me was I identifying with that caused all this resistance to come up. The answer that came to me was that.
I was identifying as being selfish. Rather than identifying as a Creator of my life.
I then thought about all the events that had triggered me as realized that they all triggered me because I was selfish. If I had been identifying as a creator and trusting that all would be well and work out. The events would not have triggered me at all.
So I decided to no longer identify with being selfish. As soon as I did that I relaxed and my body starting just tingling all over since that resistance was no longer there.
A Wonderful Tool.
I now can ask “Am I identifying as selfish or am I a creator and healer?” as I go throughout my day.
