Episode 199: Nik Wood | My Near Death and Rebirth

199.jpg

This is a special episode as it is the last of a 200 episode cycle and the final word before a new chapter.

We haven’t published an episode in quite some time and it is also a special episode because of the reason why.

I nearly died 4 months ago.

I’d like to say at this time that I’ll be talking about some fairly graphic and passably traumatic subjects and so if that doesn’t feel like something you can handle at this time, please turn this off and go do something else.

The journey has been profound and people all over the globe have shown their love and support through one of the most harrowing times of my existence and I wanted to share the story with you as well as the lessons and takeaways.

Episode 198: Derek Loudermilk | Comfort in the discomfort

198.jpg

Originally this conversation was meant to be released as episode 201 and was recorded well in advance BUT host Nik Wood's life threatening injury in August 2019 had us record a new episode 201 with Derek as it felt right to acknowledge that event and that landmark appropriately.

There's so much gold in this episode and so we are excited to be releasing it now.

Derek is an astounding individual who constantly pushes to his edge with grace and good humour.

The many and varied chapters in his life have prepared him for adventure and accomplishment in every area of his life!

Episode 197: Paul Tracogna | Excellence at the Circus

197.jpg

Today’s guest Life Athlete is Paul.

Paul fascinated me the moment I met him. He’s the one of the best in the world at what he does and by his own admission, most people won’t know who he is. Paul has been an aerialist circus performer for over 15 years and he and his wife recently won a Bronze Clown at the prestigious International Circus Festival of Monte-Carlo put on by the Princess of Monaco.

Our first conversation immediately went to topics such as excellence, dedication, and the experience of being the best in the world at your craft.

In a world of social media and attention seekers it was nourishing to talk to someone whose primary motivations were so in line with the intentions of Life Athletics, to play his game to the best of his ability for the satisfaction that comes from experiencing a job well done.

We also spoke about how the skills to do one thing well are conceptually similar to the skills needed to do something else well, which is the whole point of this podcast. As Paul says, "It’s very very difficult to achieve perfection but you can strive towards excellence”.

We recorded this episode in a room in Bali that felt super quiet at the time and yet there are roosters crowing, dogs barking, It’s not perfect but many of the things Paul says are excellent and I hope you can push aside the occasional background noise and enjoy!

Episode 195: Imaya Sabine | The Psychospiritual Therapist

195.jpg

Imaya Sabine is a human experience student & expert. She breaks down esoteric teachings and psychological insights into actionable, everyday life practices for happiness, mental health, and emotional equilibrium.

Diagnosed with depression and hospitalized for her mental health at age 20, she decided to leave the world of modern medicine and psychotherapy behind and travel far and wide in search for real answers.

After a decade of searching and experimenting, she has not only healed her own mental illnesses, she has become a model and mentor for a new kind of well-being and freedom that the world is just beginning to recognize is our future.

Imaya demonstrates how our human experience and spiritual path are one and the same, and how we can use our daily life for spiritual awakening just as much as a yoga or meditation practice could. She brings spirituality down to Earth, as well as expands the current limitations of psychotherapy by recognizing that all our mental and emotional neuroses are rooted in the forgetting of who we really are.

Episode 194: Aaron Klienerman | Clear the mind and the heart will follow

194.jpg

Aaron is a friend who I’ve known for years and he’s a Transformational Sex and Relationship Coach, Facilitator and Speaker. He came from a childhood of chaos, and dysfunction and at a young age completely lost faith in humanity. 

After attending the prestigious US Merchant Marine Academy, he found a great job, traveled the world and made tons of money, but realized he wanted more.  His soul journey brought him close to death numerous times on both the high seas and his travels to remotes places across the globe.

Through these experiences he realized that life is not about personal achievements and egotistic desires, but rather about deep soul remembrance and fulfilling one’s dharma.

He has learned from the great masters in the fields of sexuality and transformation, including earning a master’s degree in spiritual psychology.  Now he helps his clients remember who they truly are in order to awaken their inner erotic wisdom. 

 

Aaron went from being a licensed captain navigating ships to a sexual behavior and movement specialist navigating souls.  His workshops, retreats, sessions and speeches help humans integrate body movement, psychology, sexuality and spirituality. 

He speaks and shares honestly and transparently so that others can unlock the real reason for their human existence.  Aaron is now fulfilling his own dharma and has dedicated his life to helping humanity wake up and remember their soul’s unique gift.

Episode 191: Jonathan Belle | Be Who You Want to Be: Superman, Super Human

191.png

Life Athletes, hello and welcome to episode 191 of the Life Athletics podcast.

Today’s guest life athlete is Jonathan Belle.

Everyone needs a superhero.

For Jonathan, he became his own superhero.

In November 2016, Jonathan packed his bags and left his job at Union Pacific Railroad. For a year and a half, he lived in a van and washed dishes on the side - what for? To become who he truly is: Superman.

With a suit that he got from an Etsy shop, he started taking breathtaking self-portraits of himself and fully transformed into Superman.

You might have seen his photos pop up on your social media feeds. At first glance, it looks breathtaking! Jonathan appreciates all the compliments he receives for his awesome photos, but more importantly, he wants to inspire whoever comes across his photos.

If a six-foot-two bearded Black man wears a Superman suit while doing groceries or running errands, then you can too. As a matter of fact, you can be whoever you want to be as long as you're doing good and not stepping on anybody's toes.

Jonathan's habit of thought includes waking up each morning, thinking positive thoughts. Meanwhile, his habit of action has him writing down the things he wants to accomplish during the day, saying that writing them down makes them more "real" rather than just random thoughts. 

During his spare time, Jonathan works hard to perfect his craft by teaching himself new skills to keep himself relevant.

Are you inspired yet? Listen in to learn more about Jonathan and his journey to becoming the hero he always wanted to be.

It wasn’t until she came to understand that Sexual Energy in its healthy state EMPOWERS that her life began to transform, finally experiencing the true intimacy and connection she had long been seeking. 

Amrita’s life experiences, transforming her greatest Shadow into her Super Power, her professional training and her service as a Teacher and Coach have all conspired in creating her life mission - to empower others in their Pleasure, Passion, and Presence.

On this episode, Amrita and I dive into the reality of what sex is and what it means to people who have experienced it, who have had enough of it, and who have grown weary of it. Sex is more than an act of passion between two people; it’s more about the connection between two people.
