The Curated Life

This training has naturally and organically emerged from twenty five years of personal development and twenty plus years working professionally as a clinician, guiding others in their path, and learning from each and every one of them along the way.

I did not decide that The Curated Life would be the Cap Stone training that I offered. My patients and clients told me. And for twenty years they have helped me to understand not only that it was possible, but how to do it, through laborious trial and error, one session after another, until finally, a method emerged that was tried, tested and ready for prime time.

Embracing The Curated Life takes courage. It requires you to trust an energy that may sometimes point to something counter intuitive, a life you don’t believe is possible for yourself or a mission that you don’t feel worthy enough to embrace.

But the Tao doesn’t care how you feel about the life that it wants for you. It simply points the way whether you agree with it or not, and never stops.

When you learn to feel the energy of the Tao within you, in the contractions and expansions of your body, and you begin to follow those impulses with strategic, skillful action, you will quickly become convinced of its wisdom. Because every impulse that is followed intentionally and diligently will bring you closer to the life you were born to live, constantly cutting out what you don’t need, moving towards what you do, growing a community of care around you, healing the body, walking the mission.

In the end, when you’re following the energy, it’s really that simple.

Over the course of this training you will be guided into this space, over and over again, and then invited to sweep the concentric circles of your life, from your Core Family, to Extended Family, from Close Friends to Community, from Work Superiors to Direct Reports, from Patients to Clients.

As you learn to access The Field you will find that it constantly offers you vital course corrections in critical moments, red flags to avoid on-coming disasters, and evasive maneuvers to resolve conflicts before they balloon into disaster. All this you will soon begin to see as the development of a Intuitive Radar, that exists far above the head of you Conscious Mind. As you integrate the wisdom of the The Field and apply its recommendations to your life, you will wonder how you managed to survive so long without it.

Everything you feel is a message guiding you forward in life. Why are we not taught this in school? Why were we not taught this as children? I have no idea. But the first step in Accessing the Energy of the Tao, is to become literate in your own emotional depths, which is not half as difficult as it sounds.

You only have half a dozen emotions that you regularly cycle through, and only one or two “negative” ones that are asking for energetic internal support in the moment, followed by strategic action in the outer world. If you have already taken my Intro to the Hero’s Journey Course, you’ll already have an understanding in how to do this. If you want to learn more about it, you can check out my E-Book, The Curated Life, for a more detailed explanation, but the process is simple and requires you to develop the somatic, energetic skill of being able to generate “antidotal energies” that are able to dissolve whatever negative emotion you’re suffering from. And that is a skill like any other that is learnable. For example, can you generate compassion right now? Can you generate care? Forgiveness? If you’ve ever expressed those emotions to someone else, like a partner, friend or child, then you already know how to do it. The trick here, is to learn how to guide it inwards, which by the end of the course, you’ll be able to do in spades.
