Cultivate your highest self & radiate natural confidence!

The High & Healthy Human.

Nature can teach us much about living in balance, harmony, and peace, showing us how to appreciate our own duality in the things we love and dislike about ourselves.

I don't know of anyone that doesn't like a beautiful sunset or a cool summer day. Yet, at the same time, we are humbled by natural disasters that hit close to home.

99% of the time, we wake up to a day of bliss. Ecstatic weather, fresh food in our stores, or even better in our fridges! Nature provides even when fires, hurricanes, earthquakes, floods other mishaps take place.

Just like us!

When I was 26, I got the moon phases tattooed on my ring finger. It was symbolic of always putting myself first and that I'm like the moon, I go through phases, but I'm always whole.

Sometimes life is rough waters to sail through, and at other times we coast, always finding balance because we need homeostasis to be well.

This analogy is a foundation point in my fundamentals in cannabis fitness training.

For example, stability (balance) exercises that take you from a stable position to an unstable point and then back strengthen the body's ability to stabilize. But if you stand there like a flamingo balancing on one leg, trying not to fall, you're missing the functionality or true purpose of training your stability. We call this working in a Transformational Zone (TZ) in applied functional science. Moving from one movement to another and back safely strengthens our buffer zones.

Training for this alignment in the body also echos into our mental, emotional, and spiritual fitness too.

That's where I believe cannabis plays a tremendous role in our mind, body, emotional and spiritual health. As you most likely know, it's evident that cannabinoids alter our well-being.

Consuming cannabis, hemp, marijuana, CBD, and other cannabinoids affect our endocannabinoid system. Endocannabinoids, their receptors CB1 and CB2, and the major endogenous cannabinoids (anandamide and 2-arachidonoyl glycerol) are located throughout the body: in our brain, organs, connective tissues, glands, and immune cells.

Combining exercise with cannabis creates what I like to refer to as biomechanical alignment and endocannabinoid homeostasis.

Biomechanics is the study of how a living body moves, and how our muscles, bones, tendons, and ligaments work together to move in 3D space.

The human body is designed to react and respond to the ground, gravity, and any other external stimulus it receives. Keep that noted! We are circling back around to it.

For example, when you take a step, your joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments respond and adapt to the ground beneath your feet. This chain reaction occurs through our biomechanics, allowing our bodies to move. These movement patterns define our three planes of motion, which are the Sagittal Plane (forward & back), the Frontal Plane (side-to-side), and the Transverse Plane (rotating). They work simultaneously in reacting to our environment and the task at hand.

Walking, tossing a frisbee, and getting in and out of the car are just a few that activate all three planes of motion. Although the human body is brilliantly designed to utilize all three whenever needed, physical injuries most likely occur when we use up one plane of motion or two, but the third is locked down. For example, a muscle could be too tight or loose or sleeping on its functional role.

But movement becomes quite pleasurable when our body moves efficiently, i.e., biomechanical alignment! Training in transformational zones between all the spaces of 3D, isolating them, and teaching them how to integrate establishes a strong base of physical function.

I like to compare this to our mental fitness too. For example, my brain operated on an imbalance when I struggled with my eating disorder. My psychiatrist thought it was a chemical imbalance, so she prescribed anti-depressants that she believed would take the edge off my depression. The result would be no more bulimia. But it seemed to make me more numb than anything. Then, after a year, I weaned myself off my medication, and all of the emotions returned even more strongly than before, leaving me feeling even more imbalanced.

I learned in my early 20's that if I were outside, exercising, and using cannabis, specifically marijuana, my unsettled emotions would surface.

The mixture of solitude, exercise & cannabis while being in the elements showed me how to view my emotions differently. Sometimes it would bring up anger as I was hiking up a peak, and at other times, I'd be jogging while crying in happiness. Feeling everything in between what I believed to be true about a situation and experiencing a new way of doing it grew my self-confidence every time I used this combination of nature, exercise, and cannabis.

My therapy wasn't sitting in a chair, telling a stranger anymore; it was here, with the earth and, most importantly, with myself working through it.

After being numb for so long, I was physically feeling my emotions again and able to comprehend them while mentally being re-wired with a new perspective and, at the same time, being spiritually filled with unconditional love from source/ god/ nature/ the universe.

I just thought I got high and had a great workout at that time. It wasn't till years later that the pieces started to make sense, and I could see how cannabis grew a healthier me, and it’s part of what teach now at Mind Body Physique.
