"Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony."
― Mahatma Gandhi
Notice that the headline for this article is not How to be Happy. It's How to be Happier! I truly believe that we all have a lot more happiness in our lives than we give ourselves credit for, however, we cover it up with thoughts and emotions, interpretations, judgments, and all kinds of other "junk" which are completely unnecessary! The reality is that most people fall inside a very specific mind trap, when it comes to searching for their happiness.
They've been taught that happiness lies everywhere else except right where it has been hiding all along, inside this beautiful and spacious present moment.
Here's the problem! While "living in the moment" has pretty much become a cliche in our current culture, due to people like Eckhart Tolle, Oprah, & Deepak Chopra. A lot of people are still cut off from their greater happiness. They say things like "live in the moment!", "seize the day!", yet ultimately they are still very unhappy.
So why are people still not happy? Why do we have this massive epidemic of depression, self-hate, and anxiety that plagues our Western culture?
I'm going to attempt to briefly address this problem!
Did you notice the quote I put at the opening of this article?
"Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony."
― Mahatma Gandhi
This statement could act as a summary of Life Warrior's most dearly held values. You are not ultimately happy because your thoughts, words, and actions do not reflect the reality of who you are, what you were put here to do, and where you really want to go with your life.
You are out of integrity with the present moment!!! And, please, do not take this statement personally. It's meant to be a compass towards happiness, that I often find myself not paying attention to.
When I am out of integrity with who I am in this present moment? I am unhappy. I get depressed. I despair. I feel overwhelmed.
So how do I stay in integrity with the present moment? Let's begin with an example.
When you are overwhelmed or anxious, where did the thoughts come from which created these very real feelings? What ideas have you created in your mind, which you are creating at this very moment, that have caused you to develop this overall feeling of being overwhelmed or anxious?
What if we took these thoughts and ideas, which are creating these states of mind, and we broke them down into little tiny actions, which you can do right now, to create the opposite of these overall negative feelings? What if we turned negative thoughts into positive action in the here and now?
Within a coaching session, these are often the feelings and beliefs that we address, which keep so many from following their dreams and ultimately pursuing what will make them happy. Many people in our culture are simply out of alignment with who they really are, what they want to do, and how they want to powerfully serve humanity.
Here's the truth….In deep reality, the future, the past, and even who you think you are, right now, are ideas, that are completely made up fabrications of the mind.
So, if you are not who you make yourself out to be, who are you? Short answer: YOU ARE THIS MOMENT! That's it and nothing else. The story of past and future are stories of the mind and of other minds that you are connected to. Who you really are, is much greater than your story! Hence, why you feel depressed when you create thoughts and actions which counteract your own greatness, which is the greatness of this powerful Cosmos, that you come out of and are an integral part of.
So, in conclusion, to stay in integrity with the present moment you have to replace thoughts and emotions about past and future with powerful actions in the here and now. Bit by bit, little by little, this will start to put you more and more into alignment with your greatest purpose and what you were put here in earth to do. You just have to learn to be powerful with your actions and very careful with your thoughts.
The next time you feel sad or overwhelmed, ask yourself what you can do in this moment to take action towards being more powerful and amazing with your life. It can be the smallest, tiniest thing and I bet you'll start to feel a little better:-) Cheers, John Austin Foster, www.lifewarriorcoaching.com
If you haven't contacted us yet about working with me, John Austin Foster. Now's the time! Moving into the fall, I'm taking on a few clients before Christmas. By next year, I will have new trainers and coaches, but I'm personally planning on taking a lot of my time to work with corporations and athletic teams, in establishing mind training programs. Doesn't mean I won't be coaching, I'll just be taking on less clientele and focusing on the bigger picture.
Start today by e-mailing me@ firstname.lastname@example.com, and see if coaching is for you. First session is always free! It's about us powerfully acting and us serving you. The rest will fall into place from there!
If you live outside the Denver area, much of my coaching is done over skype and phone!
FREE MEDITATION (Being Happiness)
Have you ever watched a child play? Or how about a pet? What is the essence of their nature? Is it play? Is it happiness? In a recent meditation class, we discussed the essence of our nature as human beings and the essence of happiness. We came to the conclusion that without thoughts and other obstructions, of this ever present moment, our nature is truly calm, peaceful, and even blissful. This basic nature could also be interpreted as happiness.
Now sit down in a comfortable position and begin with this very basic realization. Let your body absorb the simplicity and essence of the quietness around you. I want you to practice being peaceful and calm, by moving into the space around you that, without obstruction, is essentially peaceful and calm. Stay there for a few moments! Be stillness!!!!
Now I want you to notice the interpenetrating thoughts that shake this basic nature. Especially notice the thoughts and emotions that try to steal away the calm that owns you, and not the other way around. Remember, you are this moment! You are this essence. If this is who you are, then everything else is somewhat out of integrity with that basic nature. Notice this quality in your human experience!
Now set your timer for 5 minutes or more and practice being happiness. Notice what tries to steal that away. Then perhaps journal and write down your insights.

"A dream is your creative vision for your life in the future. You must break out of your current comfort zone and become comfortable with the unfamiliar and the unknown." – Denis Waitley
I had an insight this past week that gave me further inspiration to make Life Warrior Coaching into a widely known coaching brand for individuals and organizations. I read Steve Job's biography a couple years ago and what I loved the most about his story was what people called Steve's "reality distortion field". When you entered into Steve's presence, he immediately turned you into a believer that absolutely anything was possible with Apple. His attitude, belief system, and energy changed the people around him, and his ability to transcend his own and other's current reality turned his "distorted" reality into the manifested truth. Apple is still changing the world in a very real way!
My dream is just a little different. My goal is to make anyone in my presence believe in their own GREATNESS and then through helping them realize their greatness, I can help them change the world! I want Life Warrior to help everyone realize that they are the hero of their own life. By becoming aware of ourselves, overcoming our own false belief systems and by actively creating a new reality, through coaching and mind training, anything is possible.
I want this to be Life Warrior's legacy!
So I have a question for you. What is your greatness? Where can you become your greatest self, transcend your current reality, and create an amazing future for you and those around you? How can you transcend your current circumstance and step into the realm of unlimited possibilities?
Before I move on and talk about overcoming fear, I'd like you to participate in a survey I created. I believe everyone is great! I also believe everyone knows this deep inside. So I've created a quick survey to ask you about one of your greatest aspirations and dreams (a big goal) and what you perceive as your greatest obstacle (your biggest problem). Then I simply ask for you to identify 3 action steps to take towards your dream.
Are you game? Click here to fill it out. It should take you no longer than 5 to 10 minutes. I'll also put another link at the bottom of this article. When's the last time you really considered your greatness and identified what's holding you back?
So today, I want to briefly discuss overcoming fear, our greatest obstacle towards success in life, relationships, and career. I recently read a book by Jaimal Yogis calledThe Fear Project on overcoming the fears of his childhood, relationships, and on realizing his goal of big wave surfing at Mavericks!
As a previous surfer and current snowboarder, I think of extreme athletics as a great analogy for overcoming fear. The reason I think this is because, in these scenarios, it is so easy to see that just beyond what scares you the most lies the biggest reward of your life!
Have you ever been afraid to step onto the dance floor, cross the room to meet a beautiful woman, make a phone call to someone who could change your life, write an article or book that can really help people? Everything in you was holding you back telling you "danger"… "DANGER!" lies around the corner. However, if and when you finally did do it, YOU FELT AMAZING! It was the best moment of your life. You had what Abraham Maslow called a Peak Experience. These are the moments that make you feel truly human and alive.
In The Fear Project, Yogis takes on the perspective that fear is something extremely positive! Fear tells you to pay attention. It revs up your nervous system, speeds up your biology and gets you ready for action.
Now to be clear, I'm not talking about the long term stress response happening in most people's bodies right now. That is very different! Those high volumes of cortisol, breaking your system down, are a response to not addressing your greatest fears rather than the other way around. That is not what what I'm talking about in this article. Quite the opposite!
Because…What happens right after you do cross the room or ride that big wave? Even though your heart is racing, your nervous system is charged, your stomach is in knots.
Your mind and body starts flooding your system with positive endorphins, dopamine, and other reward functioning chemicals that say, "Good job! You did it!". The actual FEAR response was simply telling you this is really, really important, pay attention, and when you do, you will feel great that you overcame and conquered!
So what do you have to do? You have to value the fear response in your life.
When you start to do this, fear will become a positive and not a negative holding you back!
Cheers! John Austin Foster
Fill out that survey!!!! Click here to write down your goal and discover your greatest obstacle.
Meditation Below (feel free to come back later or copy and paste):
Being Bigger Than Fear
Imagine a scenario where conflict is around the corner or you want to do or accomplish something that brings up the feeling of fear in your life. What does your body feel like? What are the exact thoughts streaming through your brain?
Feel these emotions and thoughts intensely!
Now practice moving into a space that holds these intense feelings and observes them rather than reacts to them. Breath deep and pay attention to your breath and the feelings in your body. By paying attention, you are activating the part of the pre-frontal cortex which acknowledges feelings and emotions but can still act anyway (ACC or Anterior Cingulate Cortex). Once you stop paying attention and you flee or simply react, you are back in your lower brain function.
So practice turning towards your fear rather than away from it! Now, drop the story your brain is telling you. Practice being completely unbiased towards your thoughts. OBSERVE THEM FOR WHAT THEY ARE. They are, after all, just thoughts! Watch your thoughts like you would a movie and ask what they are teaching you. Most likely they are just saying, PAY ATTENTION! The rest of the story is most likely false.
Finally, feel yourself as being much, much bigger than your thoughts and emotions. Feel into the part of you that is as expansive as the Cosmos. Identify with your highest self, rather than the part of you gripped in fear.
Now take action!
Cheers and here's to unlimited possibilities, John Austin Foster

The post You Are Evolving- 5 Ways to Speed Up Your Evolution of Mind, Meditation Included appeared first on Life Warrior Coaching: Mindfulness Life Coaching.]]>
"A problem cannot be solved at the same level of thinking that created it." -Albert Einstein
The above quote has been one of my favorites for a long time! It also touches on a very real predicament in our world!!!! The nature of mind is one that is evolving into greater complexities of seeing and acting in the world. As founder of Spiral Dynamics, Clare Graves, put it, the human mind has latent capacities for software upgrades. We have been upgrading our minds since the earliest times of our homo-sapien origins, and if we are going survive to the next stage of human history, we have to upgrade our minds, once more, to a higher level of thinking, beyond the limited complexity of mind which caused the problems our world is facing today.
One of my teachers, Rob McNamara wrote a book called The Elegant Self. The Elegant Self is a title in reference to the level of human psychological development Harvard Professor, Robert Kegan, calls Self-Transforming Mind, or 5th Order Consciousness. Elegant Mind is a level of mind that we are in dire need of in today's world!!!
So what does it mean to grow into greater complexities of mind?
This subject can often be confusing, so stay with me. When you were born, you were born with a mind that existed at a certain level of consciousness, but a mind which also has the capacity to continue to grow into greater and more complex ways of viewing the world. For instance, when you were a child, you were subject to fantasies of thought and projective, magical ways of viewing the world. Christmas was totally about you and Santa Claus bringing you presents. Often, children are afraid that when they think "mean" thoughts about their parents, that somehow they will cause a curse or hurt their parents in some way. This level of mind is equivalent to the magical, animistic, or voodoo cultures which existed somewhere between 50,000 and 150,000 years ago.
You also probably remember the day or the person that brought you the news that Santa Claus was not real. Most likely, you found this out around the ages of 7-9 as your mind was growing into greater complexity. A form of mind that operates at what is called Concrete Operational thought. What 10 year old boy doesn't love to collect things and trade those things for bigger and better things? Concrete Operational mind is a level of mind that allows the child to directly operate on the world in a concrete way. Projective fantasies of consciousness disappear, for the most part, and the child is inducted into a world where he or she must play a part in a family and society (rule/role consciousness). Around the age of 8 is also when a child is introduced to math and other forms of concrete thoughts and ideas.
Now we are going to fast forward to where we, as adults, are at now!
Currently our world is facing a dilemma! We have to grow into a greater complexity of mind which is capable of handling the problems in front of us. We have to become elegant in how we view our problems and how we go about creating solutions. Currently, much of our thought processes are stuck inside our own systems of thinking, inside our own egoic needs, cultural constructs, and in our own limited ways of viewing the world.
What is needed is a way of viewing the world, in which we can step outside of our own system. We need to step beyond our own concrete and formal operational way of viewing the world. We have to step inside a experiential flux that is unmediated by our past or perceived future and that is open towards solutions which lie beyond our egoic need to operate on the world as a fixed, rather than a dynamic, system. A system that we think we can manipulate and form to our own desires and purposes.
As we grow into greater complexities of mind and being, we begin to realize that we are not really the ones operating on the world anyway. The idea of a separate, existing self, who somehow acts on the world and solves problems, is actually an illusion. There is no such separate self! We are part of a co-created reality. You are being formed at this moment by the complexities within and all around you. You are literally not the same person you were yesterday!!!! We've discussed, in past e-mails, that even your DNA and quantum make-up is changing all of the time.
So what does this mean?
If I lost you for a second, I'll bring you back right now. What this means is that you have to GROW INTO THE RICHNESS OF THE PRESENT MOMENT. When you put your small way of thinking down and open your mind to a greater reality that is surrounding you at this moment, you allow your mind the space to grow into higher levels of BEING. At these higher levels of thought, you begin to see situations with more clarity and you also gain access to a greater creativity that HAS YOU and not the other way around! You are the creative act of consciousness that has evolved out of this amazing Cosmos.
Once you can move into Elegant Mind, a mind beyond ego and one that embraces opposites and paradox, you will begin to be able to work with others in solving the complex problems at your place of work, your relationships, or in your political or environmental views, in more creative ways. In actuality, you will learn how to let the problems, you face, solve YOU in more creative ways.
So, in closing, here are 5 ways to evolve your mind into greater complexity (I'll give you two guesses as to the first way, and the second guess doesn't count:-):
1. Meditation- By meditating and turning towards the great mystery and complexity of this present moment, we can stop our thoughts and allow our minds to move into greater ways of being. If you are interested in more specific practices, please contact me at email@example.com
2. Embrace Opposites- One of my favorite philosophers, Ken Wilber says, "If you find yourself taking an extreme view, have a discussion with your opposite." This means that if you find yourself taking on extreme political, religious or environmental view, or any extreme view for that matter, look for someone with an opposite opinion and have an open minded discussion with them.
3. Let Problems Solve You- The egoic trap is thinking that we can act on the world as a separate self and solve all of the problems in our world, by ourselves. Problem solving is an immensely creative process that involves letting problems and conflicts solve us in powerful ways. The next time you are facing a dilemma, stop and ask what this problem is asking of you and how you can step into new ways of being and thinking (involving greater complexity and multiple perspectives).
4. Turn Towards Unmediated Presence- This means step into the unmediated space(as opposed to your mediated, individual habituated thought) beyond your limited way of thinking and take a position of "NO PREFERENCE". This allows you to not only embrace opposites but also reside in a place that is beyond opposites all together. In this space, you no longer have to prove yourself and make others feel small or wrong. Your commitment lies as much in your own greatness as it lies in the greatness of your perceived enemy.
5. Practice Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself- I spoke of this in depth over the past couple posts. You have 20,30, 40, or more years of practice in having limited thoughts and perspectives. You have to transcend your body, thoughts, time and your environment and step into the mystery of the quantum field of possibility, everyday. When you do this, you can start to mentally rehearse and create a new YOU! When you do this over and over again, you can bring that amazing reality to manifest in this amazing world of ours.
Meditation Below (feel free to copy and paste this):
As long as you judge yourself or others, you will never be free! You will never be free to create something amazing with your life. When you look deeply, through meditation, you realize that in judging others you are really judging yourself and by judging yourself you are not giving others the gifts they need to truly be their greatest selves.
First off, think of a judgment that you have right now which is limiting you in some way. Today, I want you to surrender that judgement to God, the universe, infinite wisdom, or whatever else you'd prefer to call that which is greater than yourself. If you only believe in evolution and natural selection, surrender these beliefs to the infinite void which existed before the Big Bang. It doesn't matter, except that you release your power and control over these thoughts and beliefs and let them go back into the emptiness of space from which they came.
Simply recognize that there is an orchestrating force that is infinitely complex and way beyond what you are I could ever imagine. If you are having difficulty doing this, watch an episode of Neil DeGrass Tyson's, Cosmos series and recognize how vast and beautiful the universe is. We came from this infinite Cosmos and we are free to release our limiting beliefs back into the void from whence they came.
Today's meditation consists of simply beginning with your favorite method of calming your mind, whether it be breath or open awareness. Now, simply recognize whatever judgment you have of yourself or others that you'd like to release back into the void. Look at it and simply observe it for a minute, become aware of how it is not really who you are and that you are free to let this go at any time.
Finally, say out loud (or to yourself, if you're afraid your spouse or kids will hear), "God (infinite consciousness, creative awareness, unlimited space) I recognize that I have been judgmental of _____________. I no longer wish to act in this limited way. I surrender my need to be right and thank you for taking this from me."
Now set your timer for 5 minutes or more and practice surrendering your limiting judgments!

"What this power is I cannot say; all I know is that it exists and it becomes available only when a man is in that state of mind in which he knows exactly what he wants and is fully determined not to quit until he finds it"- Alexander Graham Bell
From now on, I'll finish each post with a powerful meditation that you can use in your own practice. Today I want to finish my series on being a world of possibilities. So far, I've discussed some of the science behind our ability to effect reality, such as the fact that we can change our DNA through positive intention (thoughts) and emotion and the fact that the quantum world is 99.99999% energy, which can be effected by the observer.
The current reality is that most of our minds exist completely in the material world. We mistake the world around us to be solid and real in a way that is unchangeable and unaffected by our thoughts and emotions. The other reality is that this perception is a complete illusion.
The atoms that make up our existence are 99.99999% completely empty. The electrons which orbit the nucleus of the atom pop in and out of existence in a way scientists cannot yet understand. When we observe the electron, it solidifies into a specific orbit, however, there is no way to ever predict exactly where the electrons of an atom will show up. Basically, the atoms that make up our existence are made up of energy and pure potentiality and this energy inside the atom is effected by our thoughts, emotions, and intentions in ways we do not yet completely understand.
Here's another reality, our bodies are affected by our thoughts and emotions in powerful ways. A single thought in your head can cause a series of reactions in your body which change the chemical makeup of your entire system. In the very second that you have a negative thought your hypothalamus tells your pituitary gland to start up your endocrine system and release epinephrine into the body, through your adrenals. The cells of your body are then effected by peptides released through this chemical process. Peptides control the protein synthesis of the cell. This whole process was begun by a single thought!
We won't cover this in detail here, but the peptides which connect to the cell effect the DNA contained within the nucleus of the cell. The DNA sequences or genes which effect disease, immune system function, brain functions, and body functions are all connected to the genes that are turned on or off within the cell. There is an entire new study of epigenetics devoted to our ability to effect our gene function by effecting the DNA of the body. Again, this whole process can stem from a single thought or emotion.
Are you beginning to see the importance of working with your thoughts and emotions?
In the same way that we can effect our bodies in negative ways, we can also create something completely amazing for ourselves, our body, and for those who interact with us. As I've discussed in previous e-mails. the greatest of those in human history transcended their bodies, their environment, and their past. They created new possibilities in their own mind which eventually became new possibilities for all of us.
We would not have freedom, equal human rights, the telephone, or the light bulb above our heads had people not created something completely new in their minds and then made that creation something manifest in the material realm. These people brought about possibilities in our world that were latent in our human potential but not yet expressed.
The next stage of humanity will be in fully realizing the power of consciousness to effect our bodies and the world, by harnessing the power of the mind!
Here is a simple 5 step process for beginning this creation in your own life. Memorize this process then make it your own. You will find the steps which work best for calming your mind, releasing your negative thoughts and feelings, and then stepping into pure creation.
1. Learn the basics of meditation and how to stop the mind. Remember, taming the mind is a long process and takes a lifetime to master, however, within a couple weeks of simply counting and feeling your breath, you will notice larger gaps between your thoughts. You can speed up this process through deep embodiment! Get in touch to your body through meditation and bring complete awareness to the space your body inhabits. Feel inside your throat, heart, and belly. Feel inside your hands, legs and feet. By doing this you are able to stop your thoughts by focusing on your body, which primes the way for further creation in your mind.
2. Recognize the negative thoughts, judgments and belief systems that are holding you back. If you can't see them, begin to look at areas in your life where you are stuck, sick, sad or depressed. What thoughts and beliefs surround these areas and how can we release them back to the void from which they came. Coaching is a powerful way to recognize these areas and to see them in different and more powerful ways.
3. Surrender all of this judgment and control to the intelligence which beats your heart, rebirths millions of cells a second in your body, and organizes the universe, planets and stars. Feel the physical release of your body and mind as you let these thoughts and feelings go.
As I teach my clients, letting go takes time and practice. Our bodies are physically addicted to our thoughts and feelings (via hormones and peptides as discussed above) so it will take some work, but in a pretty short period of time, it's possible to let go, if you can practice for 10-20 minutes a day.
4. As you feel your body release and a space has been cleared for new thoughts, feelings and emotions, BEGIN CREATING A NEW WAY OF BEING to replace these old worn out beliefs. Feel the change physically as you rehearse scenarios in your mind where you are no longer addicted, insecure, powerless, fearful, angry, jealous, reactive, or sad. Rehearse these new thoughts until you feel as if you were going to get up from your seat and immediately change yourself and the world for the better.
As you rehearse, your eyes should be closed (it's works to keep them open for the first 2 steps) and you should transcend all awareness of space and time. You have now slipped into the quantum world which is full of pure potential, and you are now able to effect this world in a powerful way by bringing those possibilities into the here and now.
5. Repeat this process until it becomes daily habit! Get in the habit of creating everyday before you begin it, then observe the power of your mind as new possibilities arise everyday, from this new and powerful way of being.
Cheers and here's to unlimited possibilities, John Austin Foster,
Meditation Script Below:
Begin by rooting into your body through your breath. Count your breaths and see if you can make it to 10 breaths without letting your mind wonder. If you can't, don't worry! Just keep practicing this until you do. It simply means that you are "working out" those areas of the brain that sustain conscious intention. You are literally exercising your mind to stay focused. So give it time and be compassionate as your mind wonders. Think of it as cardio. The first time you trained for a 5 or 10k, did you get upset that you could only do a mile, or did you simply realize that you had to run more in order to build your endurance?
Now that you have made it to 10 once or a couple times, move into open awareness. Observe the sights, sounds and colors around you without preference. Smile to the beauty and simplicity of the moment. Notice when thoughts or judgments arise and simply observe them like you would another object in your environment. Observe everything in your environment with complete openness. If you feel drawn to any thought, emotion or thing, simply notice this and move back into being as spacious as you can in your awareness.
If you have a meditation timer, set it for 5 or 10 minutes. Practice moving back and forth between body awareness and open monitoring of the space you inhabit without preference. Perform this practice for the next week. If you feel your mind settle, practice the next steps of objectively observing judgment and surrendering that judgment. Once you feel your body let go, feel free to also begin creation and mental rehearsal, with your eyes closed. However, this first stage of meditation (breath and body awareness, present moment awareness) must be practiced extensively first, for maximum benefit later in your practice.

"This is an absolute necessity for anybody today. You must have a room, or a certain hour or so a day, where you don't know what was in the newspapers that morning, you don't know who your friends are, you don't know what you owe anybody, you don't know what anybody owes to you. This is a place where you can simply experience and bring forth what you are and what you might be. This is the place of creative incubation. At first you may find that nothing happens there. But if you have a sacred place and use it, something eventually will happen" – Joseph Campbell
My purpose in this blog is to open source information that is at the leading edge of fields such as neuroscience, quantum physics, positive and developmental psychology, MBSR, and other awesomeness!
I have been a voracious reader, student of life, trainer and coach for the past decade, and it's exciting for me to share my knowledge and experience with all of you. My prayer is that I am touching lives and helping in a powerful way! Lots of love to all of you:)
What inspires you? What dreams do you have in your life that you have been ignoring? Where have you allowed life circumstance to overcome you in some way and prevent you from giving your greatest gifts and talents to the world? I'm sure you've read the following quote, but I want to put it here because the more I meditate on it, the more I realize its truth.
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous – Actually, who are you not to be?
You Are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us. It is not just in some of us: it is in everyone, and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same." – Marianne Williamson
A couple days ago, when talking to a past client, we both got really excited when discussing meditation. "What if," we asked, "everyone discovered how powerful their minds are?" What if everyone realized that they are not confined by their past and that they have unlimited potential to create whatever they want with their mind. This would truly be an amazing world! Hence today's message, which is, we have to transcend our current circumstances in our mind in order to create new realities.
Remember last week's newsletter, where I gave you the example of how congruent thoughts and emotions could alter strands of DNA? (on blog here if you missed it) Today I'd like to talk about the quantum field.
The more we learn about the quantum field the more it defies everything we know about conventional reality. In the classic double slit experiment performed in the 1950′s, scientists initially observed that electrons (particles which help make up atoms) can act as waves or collapse into particles. However,electrons basically act in wavelike functions, existing in a vast array of possibilities, until the electron is observed by an external source, but not until the electron is measured does it collapse into existing as a single particle. (read full experiment here.)
What this means, is that the energetic charge of an atom, made up of the electron, does not exist at any specific point in space or time until our mind converges upon that atom. Until we observe our reality, the energetic field making up our bodies and our environment exists as a quantum field of potentially limitless outcomes. The very act of our observing our reality collapses the limitless field to only 1 possibility.
Now refer back to the DNA experiment, our minds and our bodies have a definitive effect on the building blocks of our existence, but our mind and our emotions (feelings in our body) have to be aligned in order to effect these building blocks.
So, you may ask, where are you going with this?
In order to change our reality, we have to create a congruent state in our minds and our bodies which thinks and feels on a different level than the one on which we have been on. As I've said before, if I had you log all your thoughts and emotions, I could give you a road map to exactly where you are at in your life right now.
In the past when you tried to change your thoughts, your body pulled you back into the same old reality which you have felt for your entire life. These thoughts and feelings are having a measurable effect on your DNA, as well as on the quantum field, in which your thoughts and emotions are collapsing the wave function of possibilities into the same reality, day in and day out.
So to BE a world of possibilities, you truly have to transcend your current reality. You have to create a congruent state of mind and body through meditation and then you have to move into a mental state which transcends this reality completely and then begins to imprint new thoughts and feelings onto the quantum field. When you start to imagine and create this new reality, your body also begins to un-attach from its old ways of being and it starts to create new ways of feeling and acting in the world.
But the key is, you have to do all of this with the powerful force of your mind! You have to be greater than your past, your story, and even your environment. You have to move out of cause and effect and move into being the effect that takes charge of your thoughts and your life. This means that you can't let your old emotions drag you down, when they begin to arise. You can no longer let your body and experience think for the mind!
This is why so many have failed in creating new realities for themselves, but it is entirely possible! The great people of history have seen and felt new realities which the rest of mankind couldn't have even imagined. They were greater then their environment and therefore manifested a new environment and possibility in the world! Now think about the Marianne Williamson quote, maybe you are truly afraid of your own greatness. What do you want to create? What is your purpose here on earth? Go make it happen! Be GREAT!

The post Movie, Lucy: Growing Our Mind! appeared first on Life Warrior Coaching: Mindfulness Life Coaching.]]>
I will start by addressing the fact that the movie is premised on a myth! We do, in actuality, use all of our brain in our everyday existence. Brain mapping has shown that we use pretty much every part of the neo-cortex, as well as the limbic and lower brain centers. If we did not use our entire brain, we would not be able to function. We would not be able to talk (temporal lobe), see (occipital lobe), act in space (parietal lobe), or think (pre-frontal cortext). We would not have emotion (limbic system) and we would not be able to breath, move or beat our heart (cerebellum and brain stem).
So despite the fact that we use all the parts of the brain, and the 10% myth was likely started by Harvard pscychologists, William James and Boris Sidis, it is still an interesting discussion to have, as to whether we use our brain optimally and if not, what would happen if we began to optimize the use of our minds. This is what I'd like to briefly discuss in this article but probably not in the way you might think.
Lucy, played by Scarlett Johansson, raises the question in the film as to how humans have misused our minds, and the movie is built on the idea of what will happen when Lucy begins to utilize larger and larger percentages of her brain. For the sake of this article, instead of brain percentage, we will talk about greater complexity of the mind. But first, let's talk about how we've misused our minds.
So how have we failed to use our minds?
Until recently, we have not understood the ability of the mind to change past our early twenties. In fact, until the 1990′s, a lot of brain scientists would have told you that the brain is fixed once you reach adulthood, and in all reality, you would continue to lose brain cells until the day you die. Kind of depressing, eh?
Luckily, with recent discoveries, we've discovered that this previous belief couldn't be farther from the truth. Neuroscience has shown us that adults have an amazing capacity to change their brains at any age (neuroplasticity) and a part of your brain called the, hippocampus, is creating hundreds of new neurons every day! Click for reference
Not only are we changing our brains and developing new neurons daily, leading research in developmental psychology has also shown that we are growing into greater levels of mental complexity, throughout our adulthood. Basically this means, that humans are developing the ability to see more and more points of view as well as the ability to see beyond contexts and structures of mind, moving into post-egoic structures of mind. Robert Kegan, Lisa Lahey, and Susan Cook-Greuter, among many others, are researching these very real stages of human development.
Until the past couple decades, we have understood only a fraction of our potential human development! We have only understood the part of the adult self which is embedded in cultural and conventional constructs, which is also embedded inside the limited story of the egoic mind.
So to answer Lucy's question as to how we have misused the human mind. We have misused our mind by being ignorant of our larger, more complex self. This greater part of our self can move beyond our cultural and egoic story and can begin to see perspectives beyond just what we experience inside our day to day lives.
Because we now realize this, we have the ability to move forward, as a human species, into greater unity and connection as a global community. As we are able to take on larger perspectives in our individual minds, we will also become more capable of greater creativity and problem solving abilities. We will be able to more easily tackle the complex problems facing the world today.
By developing greater complexity of mind, we become greater as members of the human race! We also become capable of greater love. A natural result of the higher stages of human psychological development is greater integrity and unity. Because we can start to see the larger picture in all its complexity, we can also put that picture together and connect dots where we weren't able to connect them before.
So how to we grow our minds into greater complexity and larger perspectives?
Here are 5 ways to grow our minds:
1. Education- First of all, we have to grow our cognitive intelligence. For instance, by reading this article, you are beginning to understand what it means to create greater levels of complexity in your human mind. By understanding this, you are now more motivated to seek out the next article, book, or documentary and learn more.
2. Conversation- When Joseph Campbell was asked how he would create world peace, he simply said, "Tourism". What he understood is that by having open minded conversations with others and observing different perspectives, we start to see how all humans are seeking basic levels of happiness and, even though we may believe or think differently, we are all the same on a basic human scale.
3. Experiences- Abraham Maslow talks about peak experiences and their importance for our human development. Getting out of your comfort zone and having amazing experiences will be absolutely necessary for your realization of greater mind.
4. Health- Without a healthy body, it is impossible to have a healthy mind. Exercise, sleep, and nutrition are all essential for your ability to grow your mind!
5. Meditation/Awareness- Subject Becomes Object- I could write many more articles on this one subject alone. Basically, meditation allows you to see your thoughts and emotions as objects in your awareness. Where once you were identified with your thoughts and emotions, meditation allows you to dis-embed from this limited way of being and to grow into a way of being that is much, much bigger!

"Be the change you wish to see in the world." -Mahatma Ghandi
Before we get started with this week's powerful message! I want to just say one thing. Think of someone close to you right now, someone who you can positively effect and vice versa, and someone who'd be willing to be your partner in crime in creating something amazing! Keep them in your mind as you read this letter and I'll address it again in the end.
Today's message is powerful and also exciting for me! Why??? Because I get to enroll you in my unlimited possibilities to make a positive change in the world, and I get to geek out on scientific experiments and quantum physics. WooHoooooo!!! Let's get started:-)
I'm sure all of you have read the quote above by Ghandi. You have probably quoted or used it in some way! However, you have most likely not completely understood how to apply this truth in a powerful way, and neither have I, until recently (and I'm still learning!!!).
Because we have not understood this, we have been limited in creating dramatic change in the world around us. In this and the next few e-mails, my goal is to teach you why and how to truly BE the change you wish to see in the world. Enjoy and I hope this message helps change your life.
First let's briefly explain a little scientific experiment:
Cellular Biologist, Glen Rein, Ph.D. did a series of experiments at the HeartMath Research Center in California. Dr. Rein had three groups conduct a test to see if humans could actively effect a strand of DNA suspended in deionized water, in a test tube.
The first group was a set of trained practitioners from HeartMath (an institute that specializes in studying emotional states and coherence with heart rhythms) who held the vial while also holding a coherent emotional state of love and appreciation. When those samples were analyzed, no statistical changes had occurred in the DNA.
A second group of trained practitioners also did the same thing, but, instead, they held a positive emotion as well as a mental intention (thought) to either wind or unwind the strands of DNA. They produced statistically significant changes in the shape of the DNA!
A final group held only an intention (thought) with no actual emotional/physical feeling. This group produced no changes in the DNA.
(The HeartMath Center has done many studies showing the power of the human heart to sync with others, to effect the surroundings, and even to change the electric current in living systems like yogurt (See Documentary, I Am).)
When you combine the power of the human heart with the power of the human mind to create a new reality, through thought and intention, you have something that effects us on a very basic level of our DNA!!!!
"Greatness is holding fast to a dream, independent of the environment."- Joe Dispenza, Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself
When you study the great leaders and revolutionaries of human history like Ghandi, Martin Luther King, Jr, Mother Theresa and so many others, you see that they held true to their dream and vision of reality independent of what they could observe through their physical senses. They created a dream or intention in their mind and they acted upon it as if it were true, no matter what the consequences. Because they did this, they changed the world at a time when it was not even ready for such change.
Now we live in a time, when people are begging for a new reality! Most of us are tired of the system presented to us and we desire to create something completely new with our life. By creating this reality and finding others around us willing to do the same, we have the power to imagine a new future for ourselves and for humanity.
If we have the power to effect our DNA through the power of our intentions and emotions, then how are we realizing this power in our lives? Why are we not spending more time changing how we think and the habits of our being? How can we become more powerful creators of our world?
From what we know through this study and those of quantum physics (I'll cover more on quantum physics and the mind in future e-mails, and further studies on how physical reality changes due to our intentinos), the ultimate realization is:
Our world is a reflection of ourselves.
If you would like to be a more effective force to change the world, you will have to learn how to work with your body and your emotions. This is where Life Warrior would like to give you the tools and practices to do this!
Again, this is the first part in a series of blogs on how to change yourself and the world around you in a positive and powerful way.
Now remember the friend you thought of in the beginning of this e-mail. I want you to share this blog post with a short personal message and then ask them to sign up for this newsletter. They can sign up in the top right hand corner of this page. I want you to enroll them to be your partner in crime to change the world through conscious creation!
Over the next few weeks, I'm going to walk all of you through the steps to create something amazing with your hearts and your minds. Join me on this journey into the future of human evolution! The next stage in our story will come through consciousness and intention, and I want to enroll all of you in being a part of this.
Cheers and here's to unlimited possibilities, John, founder of Life Warrior Coaching

Imagine you're on Family Feud and the host is asking you, "Out of 100 people surveyed, what are the top five non-physical things people want out of life?" What do you think one of the primary answers would be?
Do you have it in mind? Or maybe a couple things?
Was happiness at the top of the list?
Even if your answers were things such as close relationships, health, or an enjoyable job, you can probably see how all these things relate to happiness in some way.
The truth is, we all want happiness! One of spirituality's primary aims is to create it and pretty much everyone is searching for it, trying to buy it, or hiring someone to give them the secret.
The crazy thing is this…..
It was right in front of us all along, sitting there, literally begging us to see it. The world wants us to be happy more than anything! Why?
Well, how many unhappy people do you know who have changed your life for the better?
The reality is that happy people are changing the world, and the universe is begging you to find your own happiness, so that you can give your contribution!
Here is some more great news. In today's age, happiness is becoming more of a science than ever before, and one of the primary practices behind finding happiness in the here and now is through mindfulness and meditation.
Mindfulness, cultivated through practices such as meditation and yoga, is simply the practice of training your brain to pay attention to what is right in front of you, rather than being caught up in thoughts, emotions, and notions of past and future.
How many times have you turned on the computer, with a certain agenda in mind, and an hour later you forgot your initial intention, not to mention surfed through a lot of worthless information and wasted your valuable time?
Or how many times have you woken up to a negative emotion and then let that emotion attract more negative thoughts and emotions to create a bad day? This is the very essence of why bad things happen in cycles!
But what if we could break that cycle? Wouldn't that be awesome?
Well, I'm here to ask you to begin a meditation practice and also to show you how to do it.
First of all, commit ten minutes a day to complete silence. Whether you have to lock your office doors, find a few minutes just after you put your baby down for a nap, or create an entire space in your house completely devoted to your personal peace, create the intention, RIGHT NOW, to start a mindfulness practice. Trust me, it will change your life and you, in turn, will change the world, even if it is just one person at a time. Happiness spreads!!!! I call it the Happiness MLM.
Pay it forward my friends!
So what next? Here is a simple list to start a basic mindfulness practice. I've been doing this simple practice for the past ten years, and it has changed me completely. It has put me here in front of you now.

Lastly, for those of you who like things really simple, here is a 3 step meditation:

The post Change the World appeared first on Life Warrior Coaching: Mindfulness Life Coaching.]]>
You see, changing the world has been a fascination of mine since my early adult years. For the past decade or more, I've wanted to come up with an idea that would make the world a better place, increase happiness, and spread ideas that I've felt would help humanity. However, for a long time, I put my focus in all the wrong places. I thought big but failed to see what was around me and I mistook achieving some grand accomplishment for simply noticing how the person next to me was feeling.
This is when I had the idea of The Happiness MLM.
I'm sure all of you have had some person approach you and pitch the idea of making large amounts of money through recruiting 3 people, and then teaching those 3 people to each recruit 3 more. Then if those 3 people recruit 3 more people, and so on, after about 12 levels, you will have well over a half million people underneath you, making you money!
The only problem with this idea, while there are some very good MLM's out there, is that every idea has a limited market, so being high up the ladder is a necessity…not too mention that a lot of people quickly grow uncomfortable asking people they know to join their business, and recruiting strangers is an incredibly difficult and awkward task.
Well, today, I have a different kind of "proposal" for you. I want to recruit you into my MLM, BUT, there is no initial money to be made, you don't have to recruit anyone, however you DO have to apply what I'm sharing. Your final task is to walk into your home tonight or office tomorrow with a smile on your face. That's it! Are you in?
A couple weeks ago, I did a meditation class on happiness. In our opening discussion, we simply asked, "What is happiness?". Is it a feeling? Is it something that is determined by other people?
Our discussion evolved into, "What is the basic nature of our mind?". And as we explored these ideas, we began to discuss where happiness truly comes from and how we can cultivate more of it in our lives.
The basic consensus of the class, and of my thoughts and experience as well, was that the basic nature of mind is peaceful and even blissful, and that this basic nature, when uncontaminated by our individual thoughts and stories, can be interpreted as happiness!!!!
So it's our job to take full responsibility for the thoughts and actions that are causing us suffering, and once we can do that, to share this "gift" of happiness, which is inherent in our being, with all of those around us.
Imagine a world where people begin waking up, on a massive scale, to the accessibility of a more harmonious and joyful way of being. Our world is in dire need of the release that mindfulness can bring and to the possibilities that can be created when we are all aligning ourselves with the basic nature of who we are. This is why it's so important to begin The Happiness MLM now!!!
And remember, only 12 levels down, we have changed the lives of over a half million people!
So today, I hope you will begin or re-commit to your practice of meditation and experiencing the basic nature of your mind. Once you finally begin to see the joy and peace that it can bring, I want you to start teaching this practice to others. In the mean time, you can simply share your experience and inspire others to embark on the same journey you are on. In doing so, you can help me change the world!

The post Transcending Circumstance appeared first on Life Warrior Coaching: Mindfulness Life Coaching.]]>
By John Austin Foster- Today, I'd like to share a profound insight, which I've recently had through my studies and my practice. This was an unsettling realization which I had as I sat in Zazen for a day of meditation last week. It rocked me to my core and created an even greater purpose for myself and Life Warrior.
As I sat there, in a practice which I've taken part in for approximately the past decade, I realized that what I've been teaching and practicing was only half as powerful as it could be. I realized that:
We have to do better than that! We have to create a new reality for ourselves and the world around us, and the best part is, is that this is completely possible.
And now, I'll take this realization one step further.
We live in a spectacular time in human and evolutionary history. In just the past decade, we've begun to uncover the power of the human mind to transform itself, at any age. We've delved deeper into the wonders of science, the universe, and quantum physics. We're starting to realize, collectively, that there is no doubt that we are all connected and that what each of us does with our thoughts and our lives affects everything else.
Mindfulness has begun to take center stage as studies continue to re-enforce the positive effects it has to boost our immune system, transform chronic pain and depression,change our very genetics, and, I believe, to allow us to create a whole new reality, as we let go of old ideas of separateness, extreme competition and ego.
Buckle up! We are all about to take an interesting ride as human beings in this rapidly changing world, and Life Warrior will be helping to give humans the ability to utilize the power of their minds to create this new reality.
The next series of e-mails for this newsletter will be about transcending our current reality and creating a new one, including mind training techniques on how to actually do this. We want to not only help you become happier, but also, transcend your current circumstance through meditation and move into a place of absolute creation. What would you like to create in your life?
Abraham Maslow talked about the two creations. The first is the mental creation and the second is the actual physical manifestation. Life Warrior is going to show you how to move from Thinking to Doing, and then to Being a new reality. We're moving from just health and wellness to something much more.

Hollywood Hills, CA
20 year-old Canadian singer who's transitioned from hearthrob to bad boy
16,000 square feet, 10 bedrooms, glass staircase, pool, home theater, home gym
$29,500 a month
Justin Bieber has a new crib – and it's perfect for the young bad boy.
Pop's young prince has decamped from his rented Beverly Hills condos and moved into a sprawling Hollywood Hills home that has its own night club!
Justin is taking advice from Miley Cyrus, who, on a appearance on Jay Leno, told him "you have a lot of money…buy a house with a night club." Done and done.
Seems like sound advice for Justin, who seems to run into trouble every time he leaves the house.
Now Justin can party his heart out – at home. His new rental has an 80-foot long disco with bar, lights and sound system. If that wasn't enough, the place has a fully-equipped gym, pool table, ping pong enclave and three bars. Three bars.
The 16,000 square foot all-glass contemporary estate has 10 bedrooms, including two master suites with huge closets. The in-home movie theater has a 160-inch screen (where Justin was just spotted watching a movie with manager Scooter Braun and friends).
A floating glass staircase (or elevator) takes Justin and his entourage from one level to the next. Outside, an amazing 80-foot-long pool has a four-foot high blue glass tile rendition of the famed Hollywood sign running the length of the pool.
The house has a huge outdoor deck and three yards all suspended into the amazing city view.
Justin famously clashed with his neighbors in Calabasas, finally selling the place to Khloe Kardashian and renting in Atlanta for a hot minute. He was back on the West Coast again, this time shacking up in two condo units in a brand new Beverly Hills building. He also pissed off every neighbor in that building, before moving to this glass party palace in the Hollywood Hills.
The home is owned by developer Danny Fitzgerald, and was listed briefly for $8.9 million.

Bedford, NY
Actor and actress, married for many years. Recently separated and reconciled
5.7 acres, 6 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, 6,600 square feet, pool, guest house, home gym
On-again, off-again, on-again couple Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones have just added fuel to the fire of rumors about their rocky marriage by listing their shared Bedford, NY mansion for $8,100,000.
Most celebrity real estate watchers know that when the 'for-sale' sign goes up in the front yard, the divorce lawyers are the next people who come knocking. With these two, who publicly split and then even more publicly reconciled, it can signal that it's finally over for good between them, or that they're ready for a fresh start in a brand new home.
Whichever way they're heading, they're leaving behind the gorgeous mansion they purchased together in October 2010 for $5,075,000.
Located down a long gated drive, Catherine and Michael's for-sale home is a 5.7 acre brick colonial-style estate. Surrounded on three
Generously proportioned, light-filled rooms capture the architectural details and ambiance of the 1930′s. In the thick of their separation in 2013, the home was completely renovated, wherein they added a glorious master closet suite, gym and sauna, finely crafted moldings, hardwood floors, a state-of-the-art gourmet kitchen and luxurious decor.
The property also now features a brand new one-bedroom guest house with bath, kitchen and living room.
The 5.7 acre grounds also feature sprawling lawns and a sparkling swimming pool.
In addition to this property, Douglas and Zeta-Jones own homes on Central Park in New York City, in Swansea, UK, and in Bermuda, where they resided full-time for many years.
Craig Siano of Siano & Co is their real estate agent.
The Los Angeles Times first reported on the listing.

New York, NY
International superstar singer, married to Jay-Z; Former member of Destiny's Child
5 bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, 4,054 square feet, views, doorman, private terrace
Adding fuel to the fire of those divorce rumors, the New York Post is reporting that Beyonce was spotted touring a $21.5 million-dollar condo in New York's Chelsea neighborhood.
A new home for her, Jay-Z and baby Blue Ivy? Not likely, since this 4,054 square-foot pad is nearly half the size of the luxurious TriBeCa condo the Carter family currently calls home.
According to the Post's source, "She was very quiet, as if she was looking on the sly." Additional sources also said that the fact that Jay-Z wasn't there was a big red flag, since he "has always been extremely involved in their real estate deals."
While many people say it's just a matter of when, not if, they will split, Beyonce may be getting her ducks in a row and finding a new home.
If it's true and they're no longer "Crazy in Love," this New York City condo is definitely fit for "Queen B."
The magnificent Penthouse offers unequalled panoramic city and river vistas on one of Chelsea's finest blocks. Every inch of this immaculate duplex reflects superior craftsmanship, utmost attention to detail and ultra-refined finishes at every turn, with a backdrop of stretching views of the Empire State Building, Highline, Hudson River and more from floor-to-ceiling windows.
The custom-designed living space is complemented by a private 642 square foot, north-facing terrace that showcases stretching city sights. Completely renovated to perfection, this large, light-bathed 5 bedroom, 5.5 bath duplex penthouse was made for entertaining. With huge formal areas and the massive outdoor terrace accessible from both the grand living room and library, there is a seamless flow for intimate barbecues and large-scale parties.
A top-of-the-line open chef's kitchen faces south and west and is equipped with a breakfast area, white Cararra marble, Arclinea Italian cabinetry, Boffi fixtures, premium appliances including a Viking range with a vented hood, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Miele dishwasher, and wine refrigerator.
Other highlights of this enviable residence are 9'2″ ceiling heights, charcoal granite and teak floors, teak wall panels and Venetian plaster walls, custom electronic shades throughout, stone tiles in the spa-like baths, a custom-designed staircase with an intricate bronze railing, and spacious laundry room with a full-size Miele washer and dryer, teak and stainless steel cabinetry.
The sprawling master bedroom retreat is the piece de resistance with its spectacular views, massive teak closet providing loads of luxury storage, and opulent master bath with ribbed marble walls and Boffi fixtures.
Perfect for Beyonce, the luxurious building has a 24-hour doorman and sits in a prized location, just minutes from West Chelsea's best spots.
Will she or won't she? Only time will tell.

'That 70's Show' and 'Two and a Half Men' star who is expecting a baby with fiance Mila Kunis
Three stories, 5 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, 9,385 square feet
Ashton Kutcher just sold his sleek Hollywood Hills bachelor pad for $9,925,000!
The 'Two and a Half Men" actor bought the sleek hills pad two years ago, paying $8.455 million. In May 2014, it was rumored that he was quietly shopping it for $12,000,000.
In 2012, he rented the pad for a rumored $50,000 a month for a couple months before officially making it his. At the time that he bought, he was recently separated from now-ex-wife Demi Moore and needed a new place to call home. Shortly after moving into his bachelor pad, Kutcher stepped out with former 'That 70′s Show" co-star Mila Kunis. Two years later, the duo are engaged and expecting their first child – a girl!
With all those life changes, Kutcher's spectacular bachelor pad doesn't exactly scream "family home." It was rumored that Mila wanted to bring up baby in a more family-friendly home, and those rumors were confirmed when the duo snapped up a very family-friendly place in Beverly Hills for about $10,000,000.
With a new family home and a baby due any minute, it was time for Kutcher to part with his former party pad. In the same vein, Mila just listed her single girl spread nearby, asking $3,995,000.
With their bachelor and bachelorette pad sell-offs in full swing, Kutcher's glassy house had to go. The three-story home overlooks Lake Hollywood with fully retractable walls of glass. The floating dining room area opens to stunning views. The home also has a state-of-the-art gourmet kitchen, private screening room, bar area and gym/massage room. The striking master suite boasts ample use of glass and wood, magnificent views and a spa-like master bath. A variety of outdoor spaces include enclosed gardens, outdoor rooms, infinity pool, cantilevered decks and an open sky terrace.
Fun Fact: Justin Bieber, who recently sold his Calabasas home to Khloe Kardashian, was very, very interested in purchasing the home in 2011, but Ashton swooped in and bought it out from under him. The buyer remains unknown, but with Bieber's current issues with his neighbors, this could have been a good buy for the young bad boy.

Hollywood Hills, CA
Actress, on 'That 70's Show' and Black Swan; engaged and expecting a child with Ashton Kutcher
5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, 4,900 square feet, views.
Mila Kunis is patiently waiting the arrival of her daughter with Ashton Kutcher, and while they wait for baby, she's putting one part of her former life behind her. She just listed her bachelorette pad in the Hollywood Hills for $3,995,000.
Mila had been cohabiting with Ashton in his glassy mansion for months, and just after they found out they were expecting, they bought a gorgeous Beverly Hills estate to bring up baby in.
Mila's single-girl spread was purchased by Mila on September 15, 2008 for $2,885,000. The home is an elegant Mediterranean compound with unparalleled views of Los Angeles.
Seated on a private cul de sac, Mila's beautiful compound has been completely redone from top to bottom, with no expense overlooked. With high ceilings, open floor plan and breathtaking panoramic views from every room, the 4,900 square foot, 5 bedroom, 4.5 bathroom home is ideal for entertaining.
Custom and state-of-the-art, the house includes a Crestron security system, a high-end eight-seat home movie theater, spectacular sound system, and integrated entertainment enclave.
The chef's kitchen features subzero appliances and flows to an indoor/outdoor living room with floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors that open to a cabana and seating area and expansive woodview-deck and pool/hot tub.
Aside from her Beverly Hills estate with Kutcher, Kunis owns a condo in West Hollywood.
Josh Altman of Bravo's Million Dollar Listing: Los Angeles is the listing agent.

Los Feliz, CA
He's a 90210 alum and she's a smoking-hot actress with roles in Transformers and more
4 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, pool, gated, views
The genetically-gifted married duo of Brian Austin Green and Megan Fox just sold their equally attractive Los Feliz mansion, for $3,750,000. They were originally asking $3,995,000.
The couple recently welcomed their second child together, a baby boy named Bohdi Ransom Green. They also have a nearly two-year-old son named Noah, and Green is also dad to son Kassius, 11, with ex-girlfriend Vanessa Marcil.
With a house teeming with young kids, and every room in the 4 bedroom place filled, Megan and Brian decided to list the eclectic Los Feliz estate and move on to other – bigger – digs.

Hidden Hills, CA
Reality TV and Hip Hop star
Gated on 3 acres, 2 pools
$20 Million
According to gossip juggernaut TMZ, Kim and Kanye are in escrow on a gorgeous Hidden Hills, CA mansion.
For the bargain price of $20 million, Kimye and Baby North will finally be moving out from mom Kris Jenner's massive estate, but they won't be going far. Mr and Mrs. West's new digs are just 5 minutes away from the rest of the Kardashian clan.
Brand new, gated and completely private, Kim and Kayne's reported new home is a French Country-style home on 3 acres, with a vineyard.
Their spectacular new estate has a stunning master suite with dual baths, stone fireplace, skylights, enormous custom closets (perfect for the fashionista duo), a mirrored dressing area, gym, steam shower, sauna, and a private patio with spa.
The gourmet kitchen with three islands opens to spacious family room with volume ceilings. An elegant formal dining room has a fireplace and refrigerated wine storage. The massive home theater has upholstered walls and the game room has suede walls and a stone wet bar.
It's not just the inside that's ridiculous and over-the-top. Outside, private and lushly landscaped grounds include 2 swimming pools, 2 spas, 2 BBQ centers and a 1,050 square foot entertaining pavilion with fireplace & music, plus a secluded pool house with fireplace and bath, 3 bubbling fountains, "rock" speakers, sports court area, 2 vineyards, rose garden, mature trees, gatedcourtyard entry, and over an acre of lawns.
Rumors flew this week that Kim and Kanye had pulled the plug on the massive remodel project on the Bel Air home they bought a little more than a year ago. After multiple revisions to the plan, they decided to stop construction on the reworked mansion and just start anew. With this new home, they've found a gorgeous, picture-perfect estate to call home. No revisions needed.

Hollywood, CA
SNL alum with starring roles in "Corky Romano" and "Night at the Roxbury," among others
2 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, 2,496 square feet, pool, guest house
After listing his cheery residence in the foothills of Hollywood for $1,998,000, Spunky SNL alum Chris Kattan has just sold his home for $1,550,000 — a little less than what he was hoping to get for it, but still at a profit. The buyer was actor Saul Rubinek.
The 2 bedroom, 4 bathroom, 2,496 square foot home was originally purchased for $1,070,000 in 2001.
Touted in the listing as "celebrity owned," Kattan's for-sale bungalow is hidden behind lush greenery and an ornate iron gate. Vintage details include a Batchelder fireplace, crown molding and hardwood floors throughout. A large living room, den and formal dining room leading to charming indoor/outdoor patio.
The master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower and separate soaking tub beneath a lovely bay window. Downstairs guest quarters feature a bath, fireplace and access either from inside the main house or from the outside.
French doors open to patios and the pool area, and an additional upper patio leads to a two-story guest/pool house with incredible folding window that open directly to the grotto-like pool.
Adding to its celebrity pedigree, this Hollywood home was formerly owned by Danny DeVito.
Sharona Alperin of Sotheby's International Realty held the listing.

Former Playboy model and Baywatch babe, but most recently a parody film star of Scary Movie fame
4-bedrooms, 5-bathroom, 5,255-square foot neo-mediterranean villa
Former Playboy model and star of the parody film star (you'll know her best from Scary Movie, Date Movie, Epic Movie, Meet the Spartans, and Disaster Movie), Carmen Electra, has just purchased a spectacular neo-mediterranean villa in Nichols Canyon, approx. 8 min. north of Sunset Blvd, in the Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles for $2,685,000.
Built in 1986, this exquisite 4-bedrooms, 5-bathroom, 5,255-square foot home features crisp custom details, fixtures and finishes with a fully-gated courtyard and turret-styled entry. Three of the bedrooms include en-suite baths, while the fourth bedroom can serve as either a large office or nursery.

Meanwhile, a large media room, game room, and one-bedroom suite opens to the private pool and patio space. The home offers mountain views, excellent daylight, and soaring, beamed ceilings throughout.
To help fund this new home, Electra sold her 2,506 square foot Beverly Hills abode in April for a $2.4 Million profit! Sold for $3,750,000, she originally bought the 3-bedroom, 4-bathroom home in 2002 for $1,350,000.

This guy showed some serious boxing and punching ability... He also is no nonsense. his defense is better than Broner's ... This guy will make noise. Donaire tweeted and compared him to Pernell Whitaker... The guys seems to be the total package. I would love to see him and Broner go at it.

"Most people don't know shit about boxing". I stand by that
I'm not gonna hop on the hype train for this guy or broners. They need to fight someone, goes for ggg quillen and all these other dudes calling top dogs out
Nothing wrong with standing on that and I agree. I know boxing and have followed the sport for more than 30 years. Crawford has not called anyone out. He has humbly displayed great skill. When people saw Lebron James in highschool they said he was ready to dominate the NBA. Crawford in my view is the best of the young prospects and will be dominant. Superstar talent he has, yet that does not mean he is going to have Superstar money of course so maybe I could have put it differently

Automobile Alley (A-Alley for short) was a popular retail district in the 1920s and was home to most of the city's car dealerships. It had declined along with the rest of Downtown during the 1970s and 1980s. During the mid 1990's, there was an effort to redevelop the area, transforming many of the showrooms and storefronts of AAlley into upscale lofts, galleries, and offices.
Today there is a new push of development in the area as well as nearby Midtown that began with the relocation of the historic, upscale Colcord Oyster Bar to an A-Alley storefront from the renovated Colcord Building in the Central Business District.
Additional development plans are announced seemingly weekly, which will further enhance AAlley's position as downtown's new chic and hip urban centre. Of those include the early 2008 opening of the Iguana Lounge Grill as well as the recent opening of the Red Prime Steakhouse, which is expected to be Oklahoma City's premier steak haunt and a Zagat rated venue.

Seawater desalination: An attractive alternative
Availability of fresh water and its effective distribution will be a key driver in spurring the growth of cities world over. However, as estimated by experts, only 1% of earth's water is potable and seawater makes up for 97% of all available water on earth. In the backdrop of the ever increasing global population, desalination of seawater is therefore an attractive alternative in rendering this vast reservoir of water fit for use in domestic, agricultural and industrial purposes.Read more

Brokk AB, Monroe, Wash., a manufacturer of remote-controlled demolition machines, is officially presenting the Brokk 800 Demolition Machine to the North American market. More than twice as big as Brokk's previous largest model, the Brokk 400, the new "Monster Brokk" is the most powerful demolition robot available in the Brokk lineup. The Brokk 800 is available in two models, the Brokk 800S and Brokk 800P, which the company says opens up the machine for use in a variety of industries including cement and metal processing, construction and demolition, mining and tunneling, and nuclear, as well as other specialty applications.
The Brokk 800S features Brokk's signature 3-arm system and offers a maximum reach of nearly 30-feet. When equipped with the included MB1000 breaker, the Brokk 800S produces 1,500-feet-per-pound at the tip of the tool, nearly twice the hitting power of the Brokk 400.
Specially designed with added heat protection, the Brokk 800P is intended for use in challenging process applications. Additionally, it includes an extra-durable, heat-protected SB302 hydraulic breaker to work with hot ladles, runners and furnaces. This solid body hammer delivers 450-feet-per-pound at the tip of the tool. The Brokk 800P features a 360-degree arm rotation design for challenging, precise angles, and offers an impressive reach of 31.5-feet.
While large and powerful, the Brokk 800 features the same compact design and capacity-to-size ratio as all Brokk units, allowing access into smaller, more restricted spaces. Powered by a 60-horsepower electric motor, the Brokk 800 offers emissions-free operation, further permitting work in confined areas. Safety is enhanced thanks to the remote control box. It allows operation from a safe distance, protecting operators from hazards such as high heat and falling debris.
The weight of the Brokk 800S, excluding equipment, is 24,310-pounds, while the BrokkP weighs in at 24,838-pounds. Both Brokk 800 units are able to carry attachments up to 2,465-pounds, including beam grapples, buckets, drilling equipment and shotcrete units.
In addition to the 800, Brokk offers eight models, in a variety of sizes and lift capacities, with the smallest, the Brokk 50, weighing just 1,100 pounds. The company also engineers and builds custom machines with special equipment such as cameras, extended arms, side-angling devices and cable drums.

It was a big weekend for local grapplers, as Grand Haven, Spring Lake and Fruitport all saw multiple wrestlers take top-four places at individual regional tournaments — securing state finals' spots in the process.
Grand Haven's Dakota Juarez (160) captured a Divisional 1 regional title at Rockford, while Fruitport's Chris Hendricks (285) captured a Division 2 crown at Spring Lake.
Juarez defeated Hartland's duo of Lucas LaForge and Logan Vish, setting up a championship match against Grandville's Sam Greco. Juarez dominated his O-K Red rival in a major decision victory, 14-5.
The senior will head to the Palace on Feb. 27 for the state individual finals, which go through March 1. Juarez will be joined by teammates Aaron Cummings (second, 152) and Chase VanHoef (third, heavyweight).
Connor Morley (189) Camden Bertucci (119) and Antonio Reyes (130) also wrestled for the Buccaneers on Saturday.
Hendricks had to go through a familiar opponent in his path to a regional championship — his teammate Kylan Sherman.
