Gift it to yourself$6.99What is the B.A.S.I.C.S. Method™?
A method is only a means, not the meditation itself. It is through practicing the method skillfully that you attain total presence.
Six fundamental memory cues—MIND-Seeds™—separated into two parts to help you think, move, and manifest your way through adversity.
The acronym stands for Beginning, Awareness, Surrender, Inspiration, Commitment, and Service—a framework first outlined as “To My Younger Self” in my memoir, The Rebellious Recovery—Transform Your Adversity Into Adventure.
Start with the breath. Every breath is a new beginning.
Energy flows where attention goes.
Release your grip. Find strength in the present.
Intend it. Ink it. Initiate it!
Hold the vision. Do the work. Trust the process.
Purpose is found in paying it forward.
This is alchemy: venerable wisdom, new science, metaphysics, biology, psychology and personal story, distilled into a simple framework for your mind, body and lifestyle. Six mindful prompts to shape your day—even your moment—inside and out.
Why I Wrote This
To write a great book, you must first become the book.
In most aspects of my adult journey I found myself reverting back to simple thoughts—the basics of my mind. It became my blueprint: the framework from which I built and rebuilt, defined and redefined my life, time and again.
I seemed to have assembled the pieces of myself in a simple, cyclical pattern of six parts:
- A beginning
- Self-awareness
- A vulnerable surrender
- Inspiration
- Deep commitment
- A passion for sharing
These fundamentals led me to true self-improvement and extraordinary achievement in the face of adversity.
What is a MIND-Seed™?
A memory cue—a momentary pause in your life for the purpose of balancing control and flow.
Mostly subtle, sometimes blatant, like being shaken by the shoulders: a chance to reclaim your power and choose a different path.
The Genesis of Pneumind™
For a long time I viewed my early circumstances as a hand of cards dealt to me, not for me. After my spinal cord injury I was paralyzed so severely that I depended on others for my basic needs. When every choice was stripped away and life became binary—to live or to die—I discovered the power of choice. This was the genesis of my Pneumind™ (new-mind).
It was the repetition of carefully curated choices that transformed my life completely.
Now it’s your turn.
Your next breath is a new beginning.
