About
I was born in 1966 in Monterey, Ca. I was a person who loved to play and have fun, school was not my forte, and however I was very active in sports. I found physical fitness something that made me feel alive and free, it challenged me more than anything else I would find myself doing.
This book is a result of my wanting to get healthy for the last time, by last time I mean know more feeling as though there was a rope around my neck that had the word health written on it. I wanted to figure out how to live without the rope, and how the rope got there in the first place. I found myself one day wondering why I keep doing the same thing and yet nothing is changing, if anything things are getting worse. It seemed to me that there was something that there was something drastically missing and if it could be figured out, then we could be healthy and live ”normal”.
In my quest to find the answer to my question, I was first drawn to information, but I realized that information was still not making things better. There was something about information that was not answering the question that needed to be answered. I then wanted to become a personal trainer, but before I got into that field I wanted to practice what I was going to be preaching, and I learned a great deal then. As I was training and answering diet and exercise questions, I knew from watching them that they were dealing with the same thing, doing what they were told, but nothing was changing. I decided to stop the personal training; I could not pretend that what I was doing was going to work for them, because I knew in the long run it would not. I then went to India, where I signed up for a years stay at an ashram that was just starting a University called Soul University. I thought maybe learning techniques to help people to heal would be nice, but then while there, I realized that people would think I was some crazy person and that I would probably exclude myself from society, so I knew that the answer was not there. By the way, I stayed only 3 weeks. I was trying to find the answer that would go beyond diet and exercise, beyond any “fix.” As I was there, I realized that it was not there that I would find my answer, it seemed to me, that there was no specific answer that would be satisfactory except for TRUTH. In my experience it has been truth that has brought me to health as well as it was simply, my not believing in myself that brought me my poor health.
This book has been inspired by a question a question that desperately needed an answer. This book is a book of your answers, the answers that you find will be your answers, and you just may not have known you had them. In The End What I Found Is That Health Is Not Found In How Much You Know, But Rather In How Willing You Are To Simply Love Yourself.
