Sometimes it’s beneficial to get a little help. It’s probably obvious to you that the habit of eating more alive, fresh and raw food can be healthier for your body, emotions and mentality. But like many other people, you don’t know where to start. There’s a lot of nutritional information out there…much of it is conflicting. It’s hard to separate pure usable information from a slanted marketing campaign trying to sell you something. Also, much of our cultural activities and human habits revolve around the ingestion of cooked or processed food. It can be tough to wean yourself from it in a balanced manner. Like you I was imbedded in these habits since the day I was born in 1960. Luckily in 1996 I got very sick. This inspired me to explore alternatives. It was a meandering journey that went in many directions. In the end my conclusion was that “a diverse array of clean, alive, raw and nutrient-dense fresh food” is the optimum diet for the high-performance, maximum-longevity human being. Simply put: “If you want a fresh alive body – eat fresh alive food.”

Eating more raw food can be a load of fun and open up possibilities for culinary exploration that are utterly delicious. Eating raw is certainly NOT BORING and a wide variety of foods and super foods are available now that weren’t available 10 or 20 years ago. The opportunity to eat more raw food and to live healthy and disease-free is easier than ever.

There’s no doubt about it…the human race is the only species on the planet to eat cooked and processed food. Wild animals don’t eat this food, nor do they get cancer or diabetes or arthritis or a whole list of other dis-eases and dysfunctions that have “mysteriously popped up” for civilized humans, especially in the last 100 years. Could it partially be related to the food we eat? My conclusion, from my experience, is – YES. That’s why I’m offering my skill as a raw food coach.

As a raw food coach I will help you along to implement a style of eating that is right for YOU and YOUR BODY. We go at a pace that is balanced, fun and easy.

All the best …John

There are plenty of technical tools out there to help you trade the markets. Many of them are quite effective. Plenty of information services available to offer you the latest setups. Many are excellent. Yet all seasoned traders will agree, time and time again, that the most important component of trading is YOU…the TRADER. Your emotional make-up and how well you KNOW YOURSELF is vitally important for trading success. Whether you are a day trader, swing trader or position trader, it matters big-time that your psychology fit with your chosen style. You must know yourself, manage your emotions and be congruent with your deepest self.

How about becoming an “instinctive trader?" Do you want to become an “instinctive trader?”

Watch wild animals. The birds know when to fly south. The wildebeest knows when to migrate for the right raw grass to eat. The Thai elephants know when to head for higher ground if a tsunami is coming. While the folks who frequent McDonalds and eat cooked/processed food are out frolicking on the beach in the mega-receded tide before the big wave comes crashing in to take them away. Hmmm… what is this “instinct” and why are the wild animals picking up on this subtle information frequency while the cooked and processed food eaters are not? I don’t know. Nor am I here to judge the actions and food ingested of any being on this planet. What I am here to do though, is to sharpen my instinct so that I can follow this subtle flow of information. So that I can make wise and profitable decisions based on this flow of information.

The natural world as in the jungle of the financial markets is rife with deception. The tiger relies on the deception of its stripes so that it can pose as flowing grass, perhaps giving it a split second edge so the deer can be fooled. The mother duck sitting on her eggs relies on the deception of her mottled plumage so a hungry predator won’t detect her. This is indeed deception but it is not incongruent bullshit. A tiger is a tiger, a duck is a duck, an elephant is an elephant, a scorpion is a scorpion. These creatures have no choice but to play their authentic roles and feel no remorse for it. The tiger may eat you and simply enjoy your body as its meal. The scorpion may sting you if it feels threatened and it need not feel “sorry” that it did so. Animals, from the perspective of my perception are 100% congruent with their truest and deepest selves. You could say they are “bullshit free.” Human beings on the other hand play all kinds of bullshit roles. The husband expresses his undying monogamous love for his wife yet has a mistress or two on the side. When really his authentic self is a satyr. The athletic jock is successful in sports but deep down really wants a sex change to become a “lady-boy.” Little Freddy is a dentist and paying the bills when really deep down he wants to chuck the drill-and-fill practice and travel the world. Many of us are incongruent with our deepest and wildest selves. This is abhorrent This is bullshit. From my experience it is dangerous to trade in the markets when indulging in incongruent bullshit, since you can be more-easily deceived.

I don’t think there’s a place more steeped in deception and bullshit than the financial markets arena. More bullshit gets shoveled out of that place through the mainstream media than any other source on the planet. Yet as a trader if you can see the truth of what happens and better still A WAVE OF HIGH-PROBABILITY ENERGY INDICATING WHAT COULD HAPPEN…an opulent reality awaits you. But time and time again it’s a great temptation as a trader to look for the ultimate “holy grail” technical trading tool that will make you a fortune. When really your number one priority should be to clear the bullshit out of your life. Its only then, from this point of clarity, that you can see the deception in the market and thus the TRUTH of what is really going on. Like a wild animal your instinct will be intact. It sounds simple but it’s not always easy (partly because the moment we were born we popped out into a society of domestication...more on that later).

We will also explore what wild animal you want to emulate and more clearly what wild animal you ARE in your trading style. For example I used to trade like a mentally-handicapped tiger back in my “bullshit days.” Running around, chasing the deer, chasing opportunities, chasing the price of a stock, chasing the price of an option. I was a professional struggler. Very clearly this was not the real me, not my natural style. Then one day I was sitting on the back deck in the sun, sipping a green tea, pondering my loses. For the longest time I watched a rather large jungle spider motionless in her web. She looked healthy and quite content. I realized in that moment that I wanted to trade like a jungle spider. I wanted to set up my web and allow the right opportunities to fly into it for profit. I wanted to set my entry point and let the fill fly into my bid. I wanted to wait patiently. A good teacher that jungle spider was.

Take the wild bull African elephant. He is happy to wander about the savanna eating grass and whatever else elephants like to munch on. None of it is cooked. He is also quite motivated when the season and flow is right to find a female elephant and copulate. His instinct is in tact. He is not castrated. He has balls. Castration is a phenomenon found only in civilization. It’s a product of domestication. Plenty of us are "energetically castrated," both male and female. Many of us are domesticated and out of touch with our primal instinctual selves. We’ve handed over our power to many masters who enjoy the luxury of our manipulation. But it need not be so.

I’ve never seen a wild animal get mega-emotional and experience extreme states of worry. Extreme emotion and states of worry is death for the trader, it can fog your performance. But it need not be so.

I’m here as a coach to help you. We will explore the trading styles to see what fits for you. We will uncover your natural instinct. We will also flush out where in your life you are living in bullshit. We will play. We will work. It will be fun and profitable.
