Dear Life-Force Ninja... I want to share a short story with you and extend an opportunity to totally transform yourself into the most limitless version of YOU possible! And I mean LIMITLESS!!
Please know that I am sharing the following story not to "talk about me", but to demonstrate the power of the mind and the importance of learning how to transform your personal "story".
When I was 15 years old and living in Malibu California, I remember having the feeling that something GREAT was supposed to happen in my life. I don't know how I knew this - but inwardly there was this knowing that I was meant for more (a past life awareness perhaps).
I also knew that in order for MORE to happen in my life I needed to get past my fears to feel more calm, clear and confident. But when I thought about a calm life filled with clarity and confidence... I knew I was very far away from that.
It may seem peculiar, I was living in one of the most beautiful places in the world, and yet I usually felt self conscious, shutdown and fearful! As it turns out, a beautiful background cannot change what's happening inside of a human being.
You see my parents had divorced when I was 6 while living in England, and for as many of those 6 years as I can remember, I was a witness to constant dysfunctional behavior, emotional instability and yelling matches!
I grew up feeling unsafe and always worrying about what drama was coming next!
As a sensitive child I was deeply confused by my parents lack of respect for each other; it HURT so much watching them fight! I remember crying myself to sleep for many years.
After the divorce my mum transported me from my life in England to the United States. Everything was different in America - things felt BIGGER, louder and faster!
I was enrolled into a new school. I remember the kids were very intrigued by my 'strange' British accent - they would always bug me to talk (I was super shy, so that was way too much attention!). I felt so different.
I had no idea how to play baseball, skateboard or dress cool (I was still wearing private school trousers and dress shoes - LOL). Needles to say, I really didn't fit in!
The whole uprooting from what I knew... into a totally different cultural rhythm, and now a new school and trying to fit in... it all just added to my internal angst; I started mentally imploding.
During the day I was so worried what others thought of me, that the pressure caused my hands to sweat on the desk at school (so embarrassing!) I hated going to school.
The angst got so bad I recall waking up one morning, with little pieces of ground-up teeth in my mouth. It's crazy how internal pressure can cause you to shear your jaws during the night! I was just 12 years old.
In fact by the age of 13 i would come home from school and go straight to bed because I started getting migraine headaches that were unbearable.
You may have recognized it by now, this young boy was presenting all the signs of a full blown psycho-somatic disorder.
(Psycho-soma is how the mind directly affects the body; excessive thoughts, feelings and concerns create maladaptive signals - from the brain to the body - and disrupt our natural, healthy state of homeostasis.)
I'm sharing a little of my personal story with you to punch out a very important point - no matter who we are, how old we are, where we live, or where we grew up - we are all directly affected by the power of our THOUGHTS and more importantly, our FEELINGS!
Whether you have a psycho-somatic condition or not (i personally think from today's media and information overload in our society that most people do), we are all well aware of how our thoughts can make us healthy OR make us sick!
Left unattended stress, fear and anxiety trapped in the mind will ultimately start to attack the body. Dis-ease in the brain sends maladaptive signals into the body that start to destroy our health.
Over time these skewed brain-body signals can cause a variety of disorders: auto-immune, mental, vascular, respiratory, and many others!
For me those fear/stress-based signals not only gave me sweaty palms and migraines, but also wreaked havoc upon my muscles and joints. My worrisome thoughts ended up causing knee pain and later chronic back pain.
And let's not forget, a mind left out of control can also cause drama and trauma in relationships (I have witnessed this one first hand and it is UGLY!)
BUT perhaps the most devastating of all disorders is the disconnect from our best friend - the Soul.
I get that this can all sound pretty depressing and perhaps even scary - but don't worry, there's a silver lining!
Remember when I said at the age of 15 i wanted to feel more calm, clear and confident and something within was 'waking up' to more? Well physical and mental pain is usually how our inner guidance attempts to get our attention!
Suffering is actually grace in disguise - because it's trying to get our attention so we will finally address the stress and the separation!
Obviously it's not easy to see it as grace while we're in the middle of our pain - but looking back you can usually see that there was a gift waiting to be discovered inside of the pain.
That's what I found - through my angst I was becoming aware of how my thoughts were affecting my body (and my energy/feelings) - i KNEW i had to find a way to master my mind - and when I did I finally started consciously designing a life I could LOVE living.
Perhaps that's what led you to Satori Method - there was pain (physical or emotional) or an internal feeling of Soul separation - and one or all of these were the driving force that led you to wanting to harness the power of your mind and your life-force energy!
In my experience our most difficult life conditions are orchestrated by the Divine, pushing us onto a path of self discovery, and ultimately a path for Spiritual Awakening!
Enter the world of martial arts.
Fortunately for me there was a great martial arts teacher living in Malibu; even as a very young boy I had always felt that something like the martial arts could help me (again, perhaps a past life awareness).
I asked my mum, who was now remarried, if I could attend the classes.
She was definitely reluctant at first - fighting had been a big part of her previous marriage and she was concerned that this might 'trigger' aggression in me. However after meeting the teacher and better understanding what martial arts is really all about (respect, discipline, kindness) she agreed.
I have to say, if it weren't for the martial arts I don't know what I would have done! I finally had a way to release all of that pent up, internal pressure and start to develop focused mind control.
Looking back it is now so clear that my life completely transformed from the kindness (and loving discipline) I received from my Sensei (teacher) - PLUS the fact that there was a CLEAR PATH for me to follow to master my mind... and ultimately myself.
The CLEAR PATH i'm referring to is the Belt Journey offered by a good martial arts system.
With a Belt System in place the student knows exactly what they need to do, step-by-step. The belts offer a clear and progressive path that guides them in up-leveling their mental, physical and spiritual constitution.
Honestly, it didn't take too long before I realized that by focusing myself on attaining higher levels (belts) I was not only learning to master my body and my mind - but I was also learning how to use my energy to consciously create my reality!
In truth the martial arts literally saved my life! Having a clear path I could follow, with an amazing teacher (who helped me get out of my mental prison), was EXACTLY what I needed to refocus my energy and start building a positive life.
Would you like to walk with me on this CLEAR PATH?
Sweet Soul... I would love to invite you on a journey of self mastery... an adventure we can go on together where you not only up-level your health and mental resilience... but also find your way back to your TRUEself (the Soul).
There is a powerful and beautiful energy inside of you - and when you fully awaken that energy you will have a powerful remembering (a.k.a. SATORI).
When this clarity awakens within you must do everything you can to protect it - and keep it alive within yourself.
That is the beauty of having a clear path, having a guide, and having others around you who are fully dedicated to staying on the path. This Path (a.k.a. Budo in the martial arts) helps you stay on track and protects your awakening!
Once you awaken this energy you'll always have the clarity to keep moving in the right direction.
In fact attaining your deepest desires in life become EFFORTLESS - seriously, when get your energy right everything in life flows! Sure there will be challenges, but when you're awake, challenges are just 'love lessons'.
To help our students get on track and stay on track with a life of mastery Sabrina and I created Satori Method. We offer many levels of learning our method - for example, our Life Force Dojo - it is a beautiful place for dedicated students to start practicing our method.
However, within our complete S.A.T.O.R.I. system there is SO much MORE!
That is why we created the Life-Force Ninja program that you are enrolled in. It merges all the things we love about personal development, mind-body-energy optimization and spiritual growth!

Sensei Tristan
