Inner space or willful enlightenment or being ‘balanced’ as
I call it, attracts a greater sense of fulfillment and purpose
then can ever be verbalized!
In a decade plus journey, relearning my physical movement
was first and then Khundalini Yoga was added to my equation
of development!
This discipline offered rigorous physical physical activity
yet ended with a deep relaxation/meditation and a gong
vibration.
The ‘Mindfulness of Breath’ also plays an important role in
the rehabilitative power of one’s recovery.
Daily rituals need to be ACTIVELY chosen and invested in to
build a stronger body and healthier mind!
As quoted from the back of my book:
“Gratefully, I not only survived this intense injury but have
recovered remarkably well and am now thriving against all
odds. It has become my goal to share this story of recovery in
order to assist others in keeping the one thing that changed
my life, the choice of always moving forward. Choosing to
adapt to the change instead of simply reacting is a very
powerful tool.”

Forward drive.
‘Inner Space’ again is easily attained, the tough part is
consciously choosing to follow the basic path! Don’t I know
it!! “As a belief is simply a thought we keep thinking” Esther
Hicks puts it very well. “When we change or Thoughts we
change our FEELINGS. When we change our feelings we
change our ATTITUDE. When we change our attitude we
change our BEHAVIOUR and when we change our behaviour
we change our PERFORMANCE. Then check it out, when we
change our performance, we change OUR LIFE!! “Choose
don’t Excuse” my friends. Always Believe!

Florida. After the sale, Wayne returned to Canada to go to University, with plans to
become a medical doctor. However the course, “The Psychology of Law” altered his
path. Then in 2005 a car struck the motorcycle he was driving and atop his NUMEROUS
injuries, was a closed head traumatic brain injury (TBI). It was that trauma that started
