The Way of the MAGI Path
A Quest for Your Wondrous Life
A Guide To Adventuring Through Change
Most anything you want in life that you do not already have or experience requires some form of change. I know what it takes to change one’s self and life, which is encapsulated within a path I call, “The Way of the MAGI”.
I offer an integrated comprehensive evolving path that guides individuals and couples in the use of highly effective strategies to heal, grow and transform.
The Quest for Your Wondrous Life is an adventure with many trials to undertake as you seek to change yourself and your life:
- dragons of fear and past hurts that suck energy and keep you stuck
- the forgetting mists of your unconscious habits where you remain in your comfort zone of the known, never starting your quest
- unresolved relationship issues that stop you from the incredible love and support for your changes
Whatever CHANGE you want, I am a guide, a mentor and ally with great talismans of power that aid you to achieve the changes you have not achieved – with quicker, more effective, longer-lasting and more meaningful results.

The 3 Realms of Change on Your Quest
Wake Up Your Life
An ability to awaken what is needed to make a change. This includes uncovering what we truly want and who we really are, then expressing our authentic desires and life purpose.
Paradox Cure
An ability to face and deal with what comes up that hinders us from making changes we pursue. Our dragons (fears, hurts, wounds and traumas) must be made into allies through acceptance, but as long as we resist our dragons, we keep them alive and strengthen them.
Grow Big Love
An ability to navigate relationships and connections that support and align with our authentic Self as we make changes and experience the consequences of those changes, both around us and within.
Wake Up Your Life – Realm of Change
Wake Up Your Life
An ability to awaken what is needed to make a change. This includes uncovering what we truly want and who we really are, then expressing our authentic desires and life purpose.
Awakening What Is Needed To Change
Whatever you desire in your life that you currently lack necessitates some form and extent of change. It could be as simple as switching to a different brand of soap or as significant as running a marathon in under 10 hours, and currently weigh 350 pounds.
Even minor changes might involve altering numerous personal habits to consistently perform new actions every day for 40 days, but you’ve never even attempted those new actions for a single day.
“Wake Up Your Life” is about awakening something within you that is currently dormant, enabling you to make a change. You may need to awaken more energy, heightened awareness, increased attention and focus, the ability to establish boundaries and say no to people you never could before, or embrace and engage in behaviors you previously only rejected.
People hire coaches, therapists, counselors, or attend workshops, seminars, retreats — any type of personal growth professional or experience — to achieve changes they have not been able to make on their own.
While many factors contribute to making most changes, I have discovered direct and effective strategies to facilitate this process.
Start by uncovering what you truly want — Your Living Purpose
Wake Up Your Life is about achieving greater clarity, alignment, and direction in life with what you really want and who you truly are . When working with anyone, my first step is to uncover their true desires. This involves delving deep within oneself, a process to uncover a part of their Living Purpose. For more information, refer to the Living Purpose section.
Surprisingly, most people do not know what they genuinely want; they only know what they think they want. I use experiential processes to help individuals reach this profound inner knowing, starting with “The Life Choices Assessment™”.
Living Purpose
We all possess a Living Purpose, an energetic DNA that calls us forth to become who we truly are.
It infuses our lives with profound meaning, synchronicities and harmony. It awakens us with excitement and deep purpose, granting us greater energy, focus, direction, and a willingness to explore and embrace adventurer. It reduces regrets and increases our ability to make better choices. We come to know our place in the world as we move to our own singular beat.
Discover who you really are — Inner Authority
Waking up your life is also about coming to know who you are at a deeper level. This is a profound self-discovery, delving into your deeper truths and cultivating the ability to pursue your desires, needs, and dreams without being bound by the expectations, demands, and beliefs you unconsciously and consciously acquired.
Inner Authority
This is about how we think and act in the world, how we learn, and how we come to know ourselves — all various aspects of our thought processes, actions, and self-perception. In cultivating inner authority, we come to know more of who we really are.
Paradox Cure™ – Realm of Change
Paradox Cure
An ability to face and deal with what comes up that hinders us from making changes we pursue. Our dragons (fears, hurts, wounds and traumas) must be made into allies through acceptance, but as long as we resist our dragons, we keep them alive and strengthen them.
Paradox Cure Overview
What drives all healing, growth and transformation …
As soon as you begin making any change, especially when pursuing deep-seated desires and dreams that align with your true self, all of what stopped you arises. These are your fears, hurts, wounds, and traumas — everything you are still clinging to through resistance. Continue reading to grasp this crucial concept.
When I knew my Living Purpose, I got the question of HOW to best heal, grow, and transform. After two decades of intensive exploration and seeking, I found the answer: ACCEPTANCE. Although deceptively simple, it has taken years to learn how to guide individuals through their resistance to achieve acceptance.
This comprehensive skill set and approach of acceptance is what I refer to as “The Paradox Cure (PC).” PC makes a huge difference in your ability to make any personal or life changes. Every change requires going beyond resistance and embracing acceptance.
Until we directly confront our resistance to our true selves, our bodies, emotions, sensations, hurts, wounds, fears, and learn to stop resisting and accept, we will continue to hinder and sabotage our efforts to make changes in ourselves and our lives.
By using Paradox Cure, I empower individuals to swiftly uncover and address what has stopped them everywhere in their lives.
Grow Big Love – Realm of Change
Grow Big Love
An ability to navigate relationships and connections that support and align with our authentic Self as we make changes and experience the consequences of those changes, both around us and within.
How We Navigate Relationships Is Part of Making Changes
We do not live in isolation, and the incredibly small small number of humans that do will in ALL likelihood never read this. We exist within social structures — families, groups, organizations, cultures, nations, online realities, political frameworks, …. When we begin to make a change, all of our relationships influence us to a high degree. Most of you have heard sayings along the line of, “We are who we hang out with”.
When we want to be successful in making most changes, we have to account for and manage the influences from our relationships.
One of the most influential type of relationship is our significant other. Most of what I offer with Grow Big Love is within the relationship of a significant other. My articles and partnership work relates to our social interactions to a large degree.
Grow Big Love is about loving and being loved, and does not necessarily mean a romantic love.

Cultivate A Sacred Passionate Partnership
Imagine a partnership that sustains and deepens an experience of being deeply in love, feeling more physical and emotional desire than the beginning of the relationship, waking up each morning with delight at the prospect of another day with your beloved, and having the same passion for each other decades later.
In this partnership, each is willing to work through challenges and prioritize their partner’s health, well-being, wants, and needs.
This is not depicted in the fairy tales of “happily ever after” because it is based on a different foundation — a foundation with each partner knowing and expressing their LIVING PURPOSE. Together they uncover the partnership’s Living Purpose that transcends their individual lives. Additionally, they use the partnership as a vehicle for healing, growth, and evolution.
What emerges from this deep well of purposeful partnership is BIG LOVE. However, it requires growth, cultivation, nurturing, and care throughout its life, similar to a garden. When nurtured properly, this kind of partnership inspires many and ignites hope that something truly exists beyond the confines of our fairy tales, movies, books, and most stories.
How The Way of the MAGI Path Differs
You Are NOT Broken, And There Is Nothing Wrong Within YOU
Throughout my work, there’s a fundamental difference in how I approach healing, growth, and transformation compared to most other modalities, approaches, and practitioners. This difference enables healing, growth, and transformation that would otherwise be improbable or even impossible.
I do not add something to you, do something to you, program you, motivate you, or psyche you up. And I definitely do NOT fix you. You are NOT broken! You are far from broken.
I acknowledge that your behavioral, emotional, and thinking patterns may be wreaking havoc in various areas of your life. However, these patterns are NOT YOU, but merely symptoms of:
- Not aligning with your core, your essence
- Not accepting yourself, not loving yourself
- Other modalities or practitioners that have had you program over you and the innate power and wisdom of your body and psyche
- Not accepting your sensations and emotions and/or attempting to control or get rid of certain feelings
- Giving your inner authority to others
- Not knowing or expressing your Living Purpose
We gain great inner power when we stop resisting and accept our hurts, wounds and traumas, allowing the wisdom to shine through us!

Only Thing Wrong Is That You Were Taught & Programmed To Resist All That Is Right With You
Bottom line is that the only thing “wrong”, and the only thing creating problems is how you have been taught to resist all that is right within YOU, your true self — your magnificent essence which contains a purity of your Living Purpose, joy, desires, passions, curiosity, and your inner authority.
What I do is to educate and train you to honor and accept yourself, and to uncover the teachings and programming that cover up your essential self.
With the skills I teach within Way of the MAGI, you can uncover your Living Purpose, and learn other life skills to stay true to your chosen path. You will learn how to reclaim and express the full wonder of life, regardless of what others do around you!
Way of the MAGI – Other Differences
Not Content Specific But Process Oriented
The Way of the MAGI is not content-specific but process-oriented, employing highly effective strategies to access and use our existing knowledge. Process-oriented encompasses various aspects of our thinking, understanding, inquiry, healing, growth, evolution, and other strategies in living a high quality life.
In essence, the Way of the MAGI is a conscious and deliberate approach to exploring and discovering one’s deeper truths, psyche, and essence. By acquiring high-level strategies, tools, and skill sets, individuals can gain better access to abilities, knowledge, and expertise that were previously inaccessible.
The Way of the MAGI equips individuals with the knowledge and tools to achieve greater success in their chosen endeavors, however they define “success.”
Merges Important Ways of Being & Acting To Live A Better Life
The Way of the MAGI merges essential ways of acting and being, encompassing needed elements to live a more fulfilling life not only for oneself but also for communities, loved ones, society, and humanity as a whole.
It is based on cooperation, personal responsibility, personal integrity, honoring life, inclusivity over divineness. It aligns with what underlies all healing, growth and transformation — ACCEPTANCE.
In essence, the Way of the MAGI represents a sustainable and continually evolving integrated approach that harnesses the best aspects of human nature, fostering a mutually beneficial (win-win) and cooperative relationship among individuals.
Every aspect presented on this website is an integral part of a comprehensive way of being and acting in the world.
Highly Effective Change
Have you attended multiple seminars, workshops, and coaching sessions, yet still haven’t achieved the desired change?
Have you wondered why some individuals (uncommon) are able to make significant changes, while most people experience only incremental improvements? Is big change, transformative change, truly achievable?
I know it is possible, although not through the conventional approaches that are often employed.
Beyond Coaching
Coaching is great. And I offer some of what good coaches do — a support system to make and integrate changes in your life. However, that is where the similarities end.
Beyond Life Hacks
Life hacks are fantastic because they offer shortcuts to accomplish tasks more efficiently, swiftly, or even better. However, when it comes to our lives — an intricate nature of our existence — making big lasting change requires far more than occasional life hacks.
We are far more effective when we adopt an approach that accounts for the complexities of our human nature and provides support to make and integrate those changes.
Beyond Knowledge – go from "knowing" to "knowing how"
The Way of the MAGI transcends being a mere buffet of personal growth modalities. While I could provide such a buffet, it would fall far short of the potential achieved through an integrative system and approach.
I offer actionable knowledge through education and training, ensuring that the information you acquire empowers you to take action, rather than merely possessing knowledge that remains unused.
Changes – Swift, Effective, Long-Lasting & Meaningful
Way of the MAGI is a life approach that uses highly effective strategies to swiftly make any change with long-lasting meaningful results. Changes can be either internal (beliefs, personality, behaviors), or external (changing something in your environment such as how much money you make, where you live, your business/job, relationships).
Swift
Personal changes do not necessarily require a long time. In fact, change often occurs instantly. The reason changes usually take a long time is …
… that most of the time is wasted on dealing with our resistance to the change itself, often unconscious resistance.
Imagine what happens when you address your resistance directly?! Personal changes can occur in a fraction of the time when you drop resistance and simply accept.
I guide you to create new patterns of acceptance, enabling you to transform yourself and your life at an unprecedented pace. Additionally you learn how to stop resisting everywhere in your life — resulting in a better life and you, less effort, and more joy and success!
Effective
How much time, money and energy have you invested in workshops, coaches and approaches, but still have not made the changes you want? What if …
… you had a path (strategy/approach/skills) that worked the first time you employed it?
An example of how WOM’s path is effective is that part of WOM’s approach to make a change is
to uncover the reasons you have not achieved your desired results. It is counterproductive to continue to invest personal resources in making a change until you understand why you have failed.
It is far better to thoroughly uncover the reasons for failure than to persist in trying various approaches, hoping that one will eventually yield success. I find that usually your failure is about how you are acting on unconscious patterns of behavior and thinking that sabotage your success.
I guide you to uncover why other approaches have not worked, why YOU have not achieved your intentions, then use strategies within WOM’s comprehensive integrated system to be effective in changing what you need for success.
Long-Lasting
Many changes rarely endure. In fact, people frequently make changes, but most are temporary and merely attempts to …
… make long-lasting changes. This is essentially swapping one change for another, all due using ineffective methods and self-sabotage through resistance.
However, when a personal change is made effectively and quickly, paradoxically it remarkable lasts a long time compared to personal changes that take a long time to achieve.
Additionally, the changes you want often are not questioned by the facilitator or approach you use. After investing so much time, money, attention and energy for years, is it not devastating to find out the change you wanted and achieved is not what you really wanted?
I guide you to understand how to first know from your essence what you truly want, then how to make changes that are long-lasting.
Meaningful
Many things you go after often are not based on what truly matters to you. Knowing what is meaningful to you means all of the difference in …
… achieving your desires. How do you do this? By uncovering one’s Living Purpose and using one’s Inner Compass, you can finally not only know what you truly want, but achieve highly meaningful changes to you.
When a change is meaningful because it aligns with your true self — your essence — it becomes much easier to make changes, and eliminates all of the wasted personal resources (time, money, energy, attention) in pursuit of things that you did not truly desire.
I guide you to uncover what is truly meaningful to you, and stop wasting any more years of pursuits that eat of precious time, money, energy and attention on what has little to no true fulfilling meaning.
