You Can Have An Amazing Life

Right now you’re probably in a bookstore, coffee shop, library or conference room – or perhaps you’re in a comfortable chair or bed at home – while reading this unique and life-changing article. As familiar as your surroundings may be, you’re about to experience an incredible shift and awaken to a brand-new you. Get ready to embark on a journey that could not only transform you, but also prompt others to exclaim, “Wow, you truly live an amazing life!”

How do I know this journey awaits you? As I’ve traveled the world, I’ve heard the above comment from all kinds of people. And if I’m blessed to receive such words simply by living the laws I present here, then there’s no reason why you can’t experience exactly the same thing.

Sixty inspiring laws have enabled me to live a truly fulfilling life. You see, since the age of 17, I’ve dedicated myself to studying and sharing universal truths, especially as they apply to personal growth and healing. This has taken me from living as a surf bum and high school dropout to the life of my dreams – with abundant wealth in all areas: spiritual, mental, professional, financial, familial, social and physical.

What you’re about to read is the result of more than three decades of research and 20-plus years of clinical experience as a chiropractor, healer and teacher. My road to these professions has hardly been traditional and it’s certainly been bumpy. Born with several physical deformities, I was later told that I’d never read or write very well. By then, I’d overcome my body’s limitations and fallen in love with sports and I dreamed of being a world-class surfer.

As an adolescent, I was moved to a new school when my family relocated from Houston to Richmond, Texas. Although I’d gained a reputation among my old classmates for being an athlete, at this new place I became known as a punching bag for the local bullies. Disheartened by my academic prospects and frightened by the violence at school, I sought the support of my parents to let me go to California to surf. At 14, I hitchhiked west and stayed in beach towns up and down the coast, living hand to mouth and meeting other surfers who helped me get by.

I rode some of the biggest waves in California before moving on to an island paradise on the north shore of Oahu, Hawaii, where I surfed from sunrise to sunset, lived in a tent and ate whatever hung low on the tropical trees. It was very “back to nature” and I was quite content, but there was one problem: Unknowingly, I consumed a poison in the form of the toxic seeds of the woodrose plant. In time, the strychnine accumulated in my system and caused me to become seriously ill. After I’d spent nearly four days unconscious in my tent, a woman from the jungle happened by and helped me walk to the local healthfood store. I was 17.

Slowly, I began to recover. But one thing weighed on my mind: At the healthfood store, I’d seen a poster for Dr. Paul C. Bragg, a naturopath, longevitist, physical therapist and health consultant to movie stars, as well as Jack La Lanne’s teacher. I became determined to see Dr. Bragg speak when he came to Hawaii just a couple weeks after my ordeal.

When the day arrived, I hitchhiked to the presentation. With great power and precision, then-93-year-old Dr. Bragg delivered a truly profound message. I was transfixed by how wise and physically vibrant he was – at one point, he even leaned over into a handstand and continued his presentation upside down without missing a beat. Near the end of his talk, he announced that it was time for everyone to determine their purpose and vision. What special mission would we dedicate the rest of our lives to?

I was stunned. How was I supposed to know this? But Dr. Bragg helped by guiding us in something he called the Alpha Meditation. During this experience, I cemented my desires: I wanted to research the laws of the universe as they related to the body, mind and soul, particularly as they could lead me to healing and traveling. I’d share my findings with people and get paid for it. At the end of the meditation, I was teary-eyed, inspired and on fire: I would be a teacher, healer and philosopher.

Big dreams, right? They seemed especially grandiose for a high school dropout/surfer who’d just walked away from death’s door and was still living in a tent, not to mention having some serious learning disabilities. So I approached Dr. Bragg later and shared my predicament. He told me that I could overcome all this if I just did one thing.
His advice certainly bore fruit. At 18, I returned home to Texas, took and passed my high school equivalency exam, then attended college in pursuit of my dream of becoming a healer.

Years later, it humbles me to reflect on my journey from the difficult classrooms of my youth, to the beaches of Oahu, to the crisp clinical office I ran for years, to the stages all over the world where I now deliver a message that still stirs my soul.
