George believes that EVERYTHING goes better with health. Since then, he’s run an amazing 623 races, and amassed an impressive 379 1st place, 123 2nd place, and 47 3rd place finishes in his Age Division.

Morgan Mancuso is a reiki master teacher, and an energy transformation facilitator. After learning about reiki she immediately knew energy healing was her calling, and this set her on a path of her own healing, finding true self love and diving head first into deep self discovery. This led her to eventually becoming a reiki master. In her reiki sessions, she intuitively works with each person's unique energy to move through physical, emotional and spiritual blockages. She has seen time and time again the power of each of our own innate ability to heal from the inside out. She has now expanded her practice from just reiki sessions to empowering others to go deeper into their healing, by certifying women in reiki through her 1-on-1 online course, “Awaken the Healer Within”. In addition to hearing about her own journey, we talked all about Reiki 101, understanding the foundations of energy healing and how you can uplevel your energy on a daily basis.

Just last month they set the record for longest highline ever walked in California at Yosemite National Park Highlining is high altitude slacklining in which a narrow strip of strong, nylon webbing — usually an inch wide and a few millimeters thick — is strung between two anchor points and serves as a kind of balance beam. They used the help of 18 friends and fellow highliners to navigate their webbing through and across the landscape — hiking lines up from the valley floor, rappelling down from the cliffs above and maneuvering through countless tree branches. It took a week straight of stringing the line, 2,800 feet in length, from Taft Point west across a series of gullies that plunge as deep as 1,600 feet Then they walked across! We dig into the preparation behind it, the mental approach to it all, and how 2 of them actually have a fear of heights! >> LA Times article  Daniel Monterrubio @daniel_monterrubio Steve Griggs @stevegriggs Jewels Esparza @unit._.of._.energy  Moises Monterrubio @moecheese2408

Apparently I violated IG community standards and was kicked off for a week. Don’t worry, I didn’t get canceled like you might be thinking. It was from unfollowing too many people in too short of a time period, which apparently is a no-no, and IG can ban you for a week without warning for doing it! At first, I was pissed, but as always, the dots connect and now I can reflect on how this has been a blessing that happened FOR me rather than something crappy TO me.

Joy is truly a joy! For more than 20 years, she’s been a performance coach and spiritual teacher helping artists find and free their true voice, and helping all performers tap into their genius. Joy began singing before she could walk or talk and as a result, feels that music was her first true language. By the age of three, Joy could sing in three part harmony and play three instruments by ear. Joy felt more fluent with music than any other form of communication from the beginning of her life.  At the root of these discoveries was the awareness that each of us holds an infinite pool of potential inside us. Joy realized that when we are in a state of flow, the truth may pass from the endless pool, out into the physical world. We had an EPIC conversation about the quantum field of sound and healing properties of music, her story of tapping into these truths, how we are ALL artists and performers, and how we can open our heart more to the flow of life.  Give Joy a follow on Instagram @freeyourvoicewithjoy (https://www.instagram.com/freeyourvoicewithjoy/) and you can also check out her website https://www.joygraysen.com/
