About Michael
Beliefs
It is my belief that we are all well and whole. We come to this life in a state of unity with Source and soon develop amnesia which separates us from this unity. As we face life’s traumas, we make decisions about ourselves with regard to how we must act to remain loved. Becoming well therefore, is the uncovering of these illusions we hold about ourselves as we reconnect our personalities with our Essence and return once more to the realization of our true genuine nature. This genuine nature or Eternal Self is in harmony with everything that exists. It has abilities of awareness, imagination, creativity, intuition and love that are beyond those of our personalities. I believe that these abilities belong to a greater awareness that we each individualize in our own unique way, at the same time we are never separate from it.
Authors like Plato in ancient Greece, Buddha in the Far East, Gurdjieff and Ouspensky in the early 1900s, Castaneda in the 1970s, and Joseph Campbell in the 1980s, were all writing about timeless and universal ancient wisdom. Imagine what it would be like to have these great teachers explain how ancient wisdom applies to every aspect of your daily life. These great teachers are no longer here to continue showing us the real world. I wrote The Art of Being Fully Alive to carry on the tradition and responsibility of communicating ancient wisdom in modern terminology without diluting or distorting the truth. I wrote The Art of Being Fully Alive to help you remember the wonderful, beautiful, powerful human being that you are. To show you how to escape the matrix, find your truth, your freedom, and live the life you were born to live.
Experience
As a story teller, a guide, mentor, and teacher of ancient wisdom and multidimensional awareness, a healer focusing on harmonic alchemy and osteopathic manual therapies, a martial arts teacher, and forensic historian, I’ve been guiding experiential intensives throughout the United States, England and Ireland since 1991. Nature, mythological stories, and martial arts are exquisite metaphors for life. As they all give direct honest and objective insight and feedback that cannot be denied. I believe studying martial arts is not learning how to fight but learning how to live and love. I‘ve worked as a healer since 1990 primarily using CranioSacral therapy, Energy Balancing, Integrated Body Therapies, Nutrition and Herbs as starting points for helping people on all levels of life. As I continue to learn and gain experience, my methods have improved and taken a life of their own, becoming this current expression called Harmonic Alchemy. Many years ago I had a vision to lead boys through a rite of passage into manhood. That vision became a reality. It’s been more than 30 years now of mentoring boys into men. How profoundly rewarding it is to see those boys again now in their thirties. I’ve also worked as an Independent consultant/facilitator for VisionPoint Consulting Team, Advantage Performance Group, and Reality Check. Consulting for corporations such as:
• Del Monte
• Pacific Gas and Electric
• Pacific Bell
• LAM Laboratories
• Charles Schwab
• Glen Ellen Wineries
• Braun Industries
• Westin Hotel Group
• Genentec Synoptics
