NO EXCUSES!

The "I'm not flexible enough to do yoga" response is making me nuts! IT IS THE SAME AS SAYING "I'M TOO DIRTY TO TAKE A SHOWER." !!! You are only flexible as you are strong. See example in pic..

In 2009, I woke from sleep and suddenly had lost all feeling from my hands up to the elbow and from my toes up to my knees. I could not walk. I was diagnosed with a severe vitamin B12 deficiency. The deficiency caused massive nerve damage. I saw countless doctors and sought out help from hospitals all over the world for help with no success. Both mind and body lost functionality and no help from any physical therapist was of any use. So after waiting for months for help from doctors (with no ability to take care of myself at all) I opened up a book that I refer to as the bible, B.K.S. Iyengar's "Light On Yoga," and reread the opening to the book. Iyengar wrote of his childhood filled with major health problems that labeled him as severely disabled. Iyengar took ownership of his own life and hit the yoga mat in India and went from disabled to the most famous yogi still to this day. After reading, I hit the mat. I conquered the initial frustration of going from very experienced yogi with the ability to do guru level asanas to a person with no control or use of the body with enormous success. I kept hitting the mat every day and in 4 months I could walk normally and do many asanas. My B12 deficiency is part of my life every day. Every day I hit the mat (with complete loss of feeling in the limbs) and then walk with beautiful prana radiating from my body and no one would ever know.

New Client: Branding the “Creator” Archetype

Archetype: Creator

“If it can be imagined, it can be created.”

“Goal: give form to a vision…Strategy: develop artistic control and skill…Task: create culture, express own vision…Gift: creativity and imagination…” (228)

“When the creator archetype is active in individuals, they often are compelled to create or innovate – anything else and they feel stifled.” (228)

“…A Deeper motivation is the need to exert aesthetic or artistic control – to be, in a way, like God, to create something that has never been there before.  Ultimately, what the Creator desires is to form a work so special that it will endure. And, in this way, the Creator achieves a kind of immortality.” (228)

“…More recently, the field of jazz improvisation has spoken to managers and organizational development professionals, offering a model for staying so attuned to the music that leadership can be rotated as needed, with people so connected to one another that they know when to take the lead and when to follow.” (240)
“Overall, the experience of working for the company and the quality of the product need to satisfy the aesthetic sensibilities of the key players.” (240)

First consultation inspiration…

“That’s how I have operated Commander’s Palace, as if throwing an ongoing dinner party for my friends, providing the same kind of hospitality for our patrons that I would provide in my own home, making sure the guests are welcomed properly, that they are comfortable, that the service is PERFECT – never obtrusive or interrupting, because to me, the conversation over dinner is what the party is about, along with the food, of course. The food should not be overly complicated, however, just fresh and good, the kind of food that makes you happy.”

The Summer of Faust

If you’re in New York this week, check out the ARTEFACTS group show opening Thursday night, July 15th 7-11pm at Toy Tokyo’s new underground gallery space. Faust will have a couple brand new works on display alongside street luminaries Swoon, Shepard Fairey, Cope 2, Mr Cartoon, and Clayton Patterson to name a few. Should be a great show.

Also, at the end of this month, Faust will be among a group of artists installing work on the facade of a vacant factory in Beacon, NY as part of the ELECTRIC WINDOWS exhibition. It is a short walk from Dia: Beacon and a great escape from the city. For more information check out www.electricwindowsbeacon.com

And lastly, Faust’s and his partner-in-crime, Sure, were interviewed by Martha Cooper for her latest book NAME TAGGING which comes out this month. In it she documents how graffiti writers co-opt name badges as a platform to get their name around and also interviews Zephyr, Cost, and Twist on the topic. Check it out!

This memoir is a shocking and honest view of life in the author's harsh and accurate eyes. A true page turner, the story not only sheds light and intelligence on a subject plaguing our society today. "mADD man" is both informative and salacious.

Book buzz so far...

"Finally! A blunt but objective book that debunks LD/ADHD labels and exposes the unfortunate and limiting ways in which societal norms inhibit brilliance. Mr. Robinson's journey of interrupted genius is a first and important step toward a much-needed societal shift in which learning disabilities are celebrated...not diagnosed."
-Dr. Peter J. McDonald, PhD

"I really enjoyed the glimpse into the fascinating mind of such a powerful and gifted young writer." T. Krohn, Random House
