The Focus & Flow Integration™ philosophy…
Decades on the meditation cushion, feeling my way through the world, living with an open heart, and a presence that thousands and thousands of people have trusted as a healer…
Here’s what I’ve learned and the basis for my method that uncovers your limitless nature called Focus & Flow Integration™:
1. We are limitlessness
This teal symbol is known as the eternal knot. It represents many things including the interconnectedness and interdependence of everything in the universe. It also represents the “empty nature” of all phenomena. In this case, “empty” means anything is possible. The seeds of this potential are qualities like love, compassion, strength, determination, joy, courage… What you do and who you become with these ingredients is limitless in its potential. Are you tracking me? Because what I’m telling you is that your very essence is limitlessness.
I’ve seen it in Tibetan meditation masters, pro athletes, and other geniuses: FLOW is when this essence is expressing itself.
Why are humans so rarely in flow? Limiting beliefs and harmful experiences confuse us and make us doubt our true essence (as well as the true essence of other people and everything we see). It’s like Instagram filters changing how you see a picture. The original picture (your essence) is always there but there are layers distorting it. In this case, the original picture is far more magnificent than the filtered image.
2. The Preverbal Matters
Elite athletes often find ways to overcome obvious limiting beliefs: someone says you can’t do something so you use their small-mindedness to motivate you to wake up early, grind it out, and achieve the thing.
But some layers linger…
What happened to you before you had words, what’s said and done without words - the time someone looked at you like you didn’t belong, the stress and trauma passed down to you in your DNA, and what simply can’t be spoken because you don’t remember or it hurts too much, that’s what I call “the preverbal.”
Just like limiting beliefs that are obvious, the preverbal also obstructs your essence. Preverbal layers are super subtle but they are very real. They are recorded and held by your body as protection until healed. Until these layers are liberated, they influence your perceptions and how you move through the world.
This shows up like noise interference in your personal GPS system. Most people can get by without clearing up this interference but for the ultra-high achiever who lives in the realm where micro adjustments matter, including the preverbal is how we stabilize in FLOW and achieve the extraordinary.
3. Sensitivity is a Spectrum
Sensitivity is a spectrum and the professional athletes I’ve worked with are highly sensitive. I don’t mean sensitive as in you can’t handle pain or you lack toughness. We all know that’s not true. I’m talking about awareness; you can read a room, understand a situation without anyone explaining it to you, smell danger, and read people. This probably started when you were very young, like when I was in third grade and I could feel that the kid sitting next to me was suffering at home. With these spidey senses, you’re picking up on a lot of information every day.
Some of it, you don’t need to hear like the doubts other people have, their fears, their projections, or their judgments.
So,
If you start off as limitlessness and life layers doubt, shame, and false beliefs about yourself and the world…
And your gifts of perceptivity as a high achiever give you even more information to filter through on a daily basis…
Plus, you’ve made it your job to compete in the realm of extreme excellence,
Don’t you think it makes sense for you to find ways to
regularly filter & discard the unhelpful layers
consistently tap into and expand the expression of your true, limitless nature, those seeds of your being like strength, determination, intelligence, creative responsiveness, etc?
