2Rt Mate Tuesday
Hi friend,
We are expecting the Santa Ana winds here in The North County of San Diego (Wikipedia) any time now and the mood will change.
For those of you that are not familiar with the Santa Ana winds that come from the desert just east of us, you should know that it’s often a surfer’s paradise. It’s called “offshore winds” and when the tide is just right, whether or not we have a swell, it will hollow out the waves. Just making it that much more fun.
And with that being said,
“Three Breathing Techniques That Can Save Your Life”
The Physiological Breath
Ujjayi Breathing
Breath Awareness
This morning I jumped in front of the camera to give you guys three breathing techniques that are worth learning. Here’s the You Tube Video.
This Week’s Read:
Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life by Hector Garcia & Francesc Miralles
I’ll be heading to Japan for the first time this year so the timing is perfect for Ikigai (amazon). There is much to learn from this book and I’m excited to tie it in with the retention techniques I’ve learned in last weeks book Atomic Habits.
I will be reading Shogun by James Clavell as well, which I consumed as a young man while training for my black belt in Shotokan Karate with Lester Ingber of “The Institute for the Study of Attention.” Here is his “Karate’ Instructors Handbook.”
This Week’s Podcast:
A deep dive into Heather Hollander’s background and how she came to be where she is at today. Probably way too much information for most of you.

Quote I’m pondering
“If you’re not frightened then you’re not thinking big enough.”
Ellen Johnson Sirleaf is know for her similar quote which is:
“If your dreams do not scare you, they are not big enough. The size of your dreams must always exceed your current capacity to achieve them. If your dreams do not scare you, they are not big enough.”
I’ve been living by the first quote all my life. My father recited it to me while he was teaching me to surf at Pipes in Cardiff by the Sea.
Of course I was young and naïve, and it took me a few years to get my head around it and to be able to implement it without any negative residue. Perfect for overachievers 🙂
Here are some interesting facts on Fear:
(Safehome.org)
This one interests me at the moment: 55% of Americans are afraid they won’t have enough money for retirement, and 54% are afraid of gun violence and mass shootings.
Are you worried about retirement? You should be, a lot of people lose their retirement to America’s medical system.
Read: The Bodies of Others, by Naomi Wolf
p.s if your life is just perfect, don’t read this book –
Just saying…
What I’m watching
Walk-In Movie Theater (Cinepolis): Bob Dylan – A Complete Unknown, starring Timothée Chalamet.
Let’s talk next week about this movie. My head is still in the movie and I’m having a hard time finding the door.
Our Vision
Our vision is to educate the public as to how we are all interconnected via the foundational teachings of Pranayama, the overarching concepts of breath-work, and the Philosophy of Prana.
Stay in the light of love my friends. It’s always worth it. Dennis
