Jon Kaden

JON KADEN has embarked on a life of holistic style since his early twenties when he was diagnosed with a rare, possible terminal bladder disease. Not given much chance by numerous doctors, he chose an alternative approach in hopes of healing. Through a regiment of nutrition, exercise, Eastern philosophy, positive energy, homeopathic remedies, bonds and personal experiences, he attained what he believes is the power of “mind over matter.” He eventually returned to normal conditions few years down the road. In the interim, he established his own guidelines, constructing an aggregate of procedure to insure a better individual internally and externally. Today he refers to himself as a “navigational trainer,” guiding others to become the aviator of their own entity. He infuses the idealism of personal wellness as a backdrop for better living. He believes in the power of his new-age exercise techniques to keep the body invigorated. He is a strong advocate of “center awareness,” recognizing that the nucleus of one’s mind, body and spiritual presence all originates from your “core source.” When one forms a pyramid containing all three in connection and harmony with one another, the center becomes fully activated. When this mobilization occurs, one’s own personal fortitude is endless. Jon finds great personal complacency in helping others. This he believes is his calling today.

Dedication to All

Far from home, the guiding light still surrounds you.

In the midst of living, take time to discern who you really are.

Lean on wisdom for it will not lean on you.

Preface

All of us have been bestowed the greatest present of all…the gift of life. From the moment we leave our mother’s womb, the journey begins and the landing-place becomes relatively unknown. We borrow freedom with each and every breath. This liberty becomes our own personal adventure. One must explore many of its possibilities to get the most of out of our expedition through time and space. You can just let it happen or you can truly make it happen for you. Regardless it’s your happening. Life is not a choice once we enter, instead it becomes a phenomenon. The experience is unique in every way for each of us yet there is a common denominator. We all want the best for ourselves and those we are close with. Sure, there will be major obstacles along the avenue. For the great vast majority, there is no such thing as a free ride. However, there is plenty of rope to help an individual make the climb. One must recognize the source of who they are and what they can embellish. Let’s take a look at nature. In order to get the natural resource of oil from Mother Earth, mankind excavates deep into her core to bring out this richness. Likewise, we as individuals have to uncover our own valuable attributes that dwell in our own entity. The beauty of life today is that you may discover a rainbow tomorrow. Before you can reach out, you must reach inside yourself first. Some are afraid of what they cannot see than what they have already witnessed. There’s only one true element of the universe you have the power to always make good – yourself! The chapters in this book will help you recognize the fact that there is substantial purpose and meaning within our own essence to always help anyone move forward.

In my own personal odyssey, I have been blessed to cross paths with a few remarkable individuals who helped instilled a second revelation within my own being. Their guidance, friendship, and insight have become the legacy within me. Although they are no longer here, I find it proper and nurturing to carry the torch. One individual in particular made it quite clear to me that in my life it isn’t all too significant what path or paths I choose but more relevant what I can do for others along the path. I believe this amazing individual hit it tooth and nail with me. Some dare others to live. Others live the inspiration of another. Then there is the enlightened one who lives within the own poetry of their making. Hopefully, my readers will both enjoy and infuse the message within this book. Most certainly, it will help you breakthrough this world!

Life is the great horizon

There is no need to search beyond

Find yourself within.

Without some goal and some effort to reach it, no one can live. These are the tactful words of the great psychologist Fyodor Dostoyevsky. On the other hand, beyond these words of wisdom lies the integral fact that it takes both acknowledgement and acceptance of who we truly are as individuals to realistically live with all good intent and purpose. It’s simple to think what we want to achieve out of life. The path we take to genuinely succeed is structured around attitude, motivation, perseverance and discipline. One relies on the other. When all are in high gear, we become super-connected to life. Treat your own cognizance, essence and the entity with reverence. Allow them to work harmoniously for you. Don’t think less of yourself than who you truly are even if you haven’t discovered that yet. At the same token, don’t allow yourself to think you are more than another.

Take a close look at a mountainside next time it is in visible reach. We all have been in a situation where we are driving and see a mountain range in the distant. When obvious to the naked eye, we are overwhelmed by it’s magnitude. The scenery it represents to us is one of great strength, endurance, reliability and tremendous valor. The mountain appears to have a personality of its own. It magnetizes us in a charismatic way. Simply speaking, it is the lion that roars. We are intimidated in a mild way by its presence. We are overpowered by its proximity. It has a universal appeal of the closeness of the heavens. The mountain is a manifestation of infinite fortitude. In the Bible it references great authority and pillars of the world. On tarot cards, it is the most perceived image. They represent landmarks, barriers, challenges, fortresses, boundaries and retreats. Mountains can induce exhilaration, enchantment and admiration. To some they are a symbol of achievement. Courageous, tenacious, cultivated, sophisticated are some similar characteristics we wouldn’t mind to be and for others to perceive us just like the mountain exemplifies. However, there is another side to this magnanimous setting (mountain). It is one of complete placidity, effortless steadiness and perfect equanimity. It’s calm, its balance, is soothing. It’s own steadfastness is a deluge of tranquility. This vision is gentle as a lamb. Some even view this perception of the mountain as sacred. In dreams, one climbing a mountain is symbolic of inner elevation. If one takes a real moment to reflect on their inner presence, he or she will find that there is sanctity within. You must pilgrimage on your own to discover it. This serene representation is hidden in all us as it is in the mountain. Self-composure (inner harmony) and bodily equilibrium is something special we all keep privilege. Oh
