Take on Life with Dr. Dan

After a long absence, Take on Life is back in action. 

Join me for a quick kickoff episode to reframe and reorient ourselves to a better conversation.

A new perspective.

A new willingness to step up.

A new willingness to answer the calling.

Water holds an answer to a world of problems.

This is not hyperbole, but a fact of nature, woven into the fabric of creation.

From the significance of its molecular structure to the quantum messages it has to offer, the lessons we could learn from water would allow us to correct our gravest errors and find solutions to our greatest dilemmas.

Tune in for my incredible conversation with water connoisseur, passionate advocate and knowledgeable teacher, Isabel Friend, where she offers massive amounts of invaluable information on the true nature of water and how healing our relationship to water is essential for healing our world.

We have an incredible, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity at hand. 

The whole of humanity has been plagued with one big chronic illness, and it's showing us the way to a delectable freedom, the likes of which we have yet to taste.

Did you know that there is wisdom to be found within the experience of chronic illness? 

That the very thing itself is often showing us the way out?

What do I mean by a collective chronic illness?

And what is the brighter future toward which it is pointing? 

Help me uncover the pathway through these dark woods, and discover the destiny of our full fledged humanity.

Do you know what it means for something to be called "Holistic?" 

What exactly is "holistic healthcare" let alone the philosophy of "holism?"

I'd bet you that you're far more holistically minded than you think. 

Which, as you'll find out from this episode, is no surprise, because it's embedded within our very makeup

Your body-mind-emotions-relationships-soul... it's ALL holistic. 

When we finally learn how to add it all together, take a step back and look at the bigger picture of our lives, we find out that we are far greater than any piece of our lives that we could possibly parse out and measure under a microscope. 

That our universe is far greater than anything we could capture with a telescope. 

And that we are intimately connected to all of it. 

Tune in with my brother, Adam Continenza, and me as we explore various aspects of holistic living and start to paint a picture of just how grand your life's story really is. 


*Note: I made at least one mistake in my reporting of stats. At one point in the episode, I state that our protein encoding DNA makes up approximately 5% of our genome and that the rest is what has formerly been called "junk DNA." This is false. Latest estimates put protein encoding DNA at 1-2% of the total, while other gene and regulatory sequences make up approximately 25%, leaving about 73-74% left for the "rest" of us.

Our story influences our reality in myriad ways. 

Sets the stage for our thoughts, words and actions...

Colors our moods and emotions...

Sets the frame of reference for our selection and interpretation of facts...

Dictates how, when and where we attribute a sense of meaning and significance in the world...

And, if we don't get our story straightened out, we're destined to become stuck in someone else's preprogramed reality - rife with all the pitfalls of their shortcomings and lacking the perks of our own unique potential - robbing ourselves and the world of that which can only be made perfect through the uninhibited expression of wholeness inherent within each individual.

If you were to challenge the story you've been told about the nature of existence, set your imagination free and build a new interpretation of creation based on your highest hopes and wildest dream, how positively impactful and filled with blessings would your life become? 

I'll take a go at it in this week's episode, "A Story of Wholeness."

Growth occurs when we lean into - or are pushed against - the edges of our comfort and personal capabilities.

This is true for any skillset or physical attribute, as well as our capacity for mental, emotional, social or existential expression.

With this in mind, let's continue to stretch the boundary of our relationship to health, our conception of illness, and our place within the natural world. 

The  goal of this particular episode is to begin opening ourselves to a completely new understanding of viruses, in particular - one that stems from a reality of interconnectedness and deep  trust in the wisdom of creation. 

Why bother?

Because, when we shift ourselves from a posture of defense against the invading forces of nature toward one of peaceful communication, we can end our war against biology and begin to foster a sense of reverence and appreciation for the intelligence of life.

And I believe that's a world worth striving to achieve.
