Joe Weaver grew up in the 50's on a small farm in the middle of the US where he learned the value of physical labor and persistence. In the 60's he became a hippie, learned to meditate, do yoga and started working out with weights.

In the 70's he moved to Fairfield, Iowa and earned a degree in Business from Maharishi University of Management where he meditated twice a day with over 2000 other seekers of enlightenment.

Since then he's been successful in several diverse businesses including farming, the manufacture and wholesaling of gift items and, most recently, developing and building small log home communities in the mountains of North Carolina.

His practice of meditation and yoga have persisted for over 40 years. But he was never able to sustain a workout routine for more than three months without falling off the wagon for years at a time.

That all changed when, at the age of 59, he discovered an obscure book on how to boost strength, endurance and recovery in any sport by using an Ayurvedic breathing technique.

After six months on that program he entered and placed 2nd in an online physique transformation contest for men over 40. (By the way: everyone else in that contest was in their early 40's.)

Since then he has written an ebook titled The Metazone Performance Boosting System which has been sold in over 52 countries around the world. Today at 65 he is in the best shape of his life and eager to share his secrets of mind-body transformation with all who will listen.

In this interview you'll discover:

How you can make a Conscious Decision not to age

The Key to Meditation (most people get this wrong)

What it takes to Meditate one hour twice per day...and why you shouldn't start here.

How Meditation makes changing Habits Easier

Why Non-Stop Nasal Breathing in Exercise makes it Easier, Energizing More Enjoyable and Improves Recovery

What it Takes to Optimize Your Respiratory System

Which Mantra do you buy into? "No Pain, No Gain" vs. "Stimulate, Nourish and Grow"

The Six Tastes and Ayuvedic Churnas
