Mental Challenges and Autism are even more evident today, but are we any closer to understanding them and the gifts they can be? Meet James Charles who has worked in the mentally disabled world for a long time only to discover he has always had Autism Spectrum Disorder.

76b35b19aaf226ba1193425323ec836bHaving struggled with social interaction and emotional development as a child, James was badly bullied and found himself consumed with overwhelming feelings of fear and anxiety. It wasn’t until he entered his fifth decade that the diagnoses of Autism Spectrum Disorder proved to be a revelation. It was only after he began to recognize the signs and symptoms of his patients in himself while he was working as a mental health practitioner, that he found the courage to seek out an official diagnosis. Suddenly released from the feelings of guilt, confusion and distress he had experienced since childhood,  James embraced life anew, began studying to become a life coach, and finally realized that his autism was, in fact, a gift.

C15/26b The SuperYogi Hero within Us

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest James Conner airing June 30th-July 6th.

What has Yoga and being  a super hero have in common? tune in and hear how finding that peace within us through mediation and Yoga can bring the hero out in each one of us. James has given us a book that embraces the Heroes of tomorrow and what they mean to the world we live in.

           Are Superhero Powers in Our Future?

A New Superhero Fantasy/Thriller uses Authentic Teachings from Revered Spiritual Texts 

to Enlighten as It Entertains by James Conner .

Superyogi Scenario Graphic 1

What do you get when you combine the world’s mania for all-things superhero, the exponential growth of yoga and meditation worldwide, and one man’s commitment to help the world grasp the elevating wisdom encased in the ancient Yoga Sutra spiritual text?

A rollicking great superhero adventure story that enlightens while it entertains! James Connor’s The Superyogi Scenario is no ordinary book. It is the first in an exciting and entirely new genre blending elements of a superhero fantasy/thriller, graphic novel illustrations, and the teachings of revered spiritual texts. Given our world’s fascination with superheroes in print, on TV and film, Connor and Sky Grove Publishing are blazing a new trail in enlightened pop culture. The Superyogi Scenario is the first in a dynamic new series of page-turning chronicles that slow-drips spiritual wisdom to its readers in the guise of adventure!

Connor imagines a contemporary world where superpowers start emerging among yoga and meditation practitioners instead of from comic book mishaps like radioactive spider bites or laboratory accidents. This fresh new take on the superhero story explores the wild consequences that occur when heroes and villains start to emerge.

james_connor_authornewThroughout the book Connor quotes original Yoga Sutra verses to explain the superpowers often attributed to the great Yogis of history, and to guide the characters as they struggle with their new roles as world protectors. Key messages come through, particularly that the more we care for and serve others, the more powerful we become. The novel brings heady philosophical teachings down to a level that are easy to grasp and allows people to glimpse why enlightenment is achievable and worthwhile to pursue.

But let’s not think this takes away from the fast-moving thrill ride that is The Superyogi Scenario. The men are strong and handsome; the women are sexy and powerful; the villains are dastardly and devastating with otherworldly powers, and the fate of the world is at stake! Colorful graphic illustrations capture the imagination of everyone from the comic lover to the obsessive yogi or yogini.

Connor began writing supernatural thrillers when he won a Raven Society Award at the University of Virginia in support of his creative writing. But it wasn’t until two decades later, after giving up a successful business career as the CEO of a New York City advertising agency and completing a three-year isolated meditation and yoga retreat in the high-desert mountains of Arizona, that Connor felt compelled to publish stories that allow readers to experience deep wisdom gained from his fifteen years of detailed Buddhist and yoga training. Following in the footsteps of his story-telling idols C.S. Lewis, Neil Gaiman, and the Wachowskis, Connor is a firm believer in combining philosophy with fun. He is also the founder of GoBeyond.org and travels teaching Buddhist and yoga philosophy with an emphasis on meditation.

It was on Sunday afternoons, in his cabin in the Arizona desert, that Connor poured out the heroic journey of Diamond Mind, Airspeed, Samsa and Father Agua that now marks the beginning of a new superhero saga for our times. James Connor Wrote this Novel on Sunday Afternoons During a 3-Year Yoga and Meditation Retreat!

The Superyogi Scenario is available in a hardcover illustrated edition for $24 from all major booksellers (as of June 4th, 2015). It’s also available in an eBook illustrated edition for $7.99 from Amazon.com.

C15/25b BREAKING OUT OF SHOW BUSINESS

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast 1 Comment

Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Michael Paul Ziegfeld aired June 23rd-29th

FROM JIM HENSON TO DAVID LETTERMAN…PC POLICE BEWARE…..ONE OF THE FUNNIEST MEN,

YOU’VE NEVER HEARD OF. What I Discovered by Not Being Discovered

“You have probably never heard of me. There may be a very slight possibility you recognize my name or maybe my face. But I have no delusions. I’ve always said, ‘I’ve sky-rocketed to the middle.’

mp@michaelpaulonline.com

mp@michaelpaulonline.com

On the eve of packing in a 25 year career, he was asked to write a book about having talent or guts, being praised or slaughtered, getting laid or screwed … the struggle of the climb, the ego of what it is to have “made it” or not and of course, when to bow out.

Production Assistant, turned stage tech, turned puppeteer, turned host, turned comedian, turned writer, turned Director … Michael Paul Ziegfeld was youngest intern hired at NBC after sneaking into the building. He then landed the job at CBS Radio because he was the only person to trudge through the biggest blizzard of the decade for the interview. Years went by with day jobs as a stage tech, to night jobs headlining comedy clubs. He was puppeteering for Jim Henson on a Tuesday and writing jokes for the Letterman show on a Wednesday.      ! !  !  !  !  !  !  !  !  !  !  !  !  !  !

Could he not find his niche or did he just love it all?

Where does that leave someone in the end?

When is it time to stop the climb?

                                       In BREAKING OUT OF SHOW BUSINESS:

Jacket Cover Blurb

What I Discovered by Not Being Discovered [Post Hill Press 3/3/15], Ziegfeld catalogues his lifelong, unbelievable true stories of breaking into and sustaining a career in show business, albeit, alongside fame. Why did Ben Affleck almost kick his ass? How did he sneak past security to meet the Queen of England? Who did Katherine Heigl want to set him up with?

“Whether you like a humorous, behind-the-scenes glimpse into Hollywood, or a candid “you can’t make this stuff up” account of the industry, this book as it all! The quickest, funniest, non-fiction must read in a very long time.”    ~ Ryan Jay – US Weekly, Fox’s Morning Blend

“Some parts are so funny it’ll make you cry and other parts may just make you want to cry. I’ve never read such an honest representation of the roller-coaster that is show business. If you want to know the truth about what it takes to build and create a career for yourself – and how to make the most of it, then this is the book for you.”    ~ Christina Bianco – Drama Desk Nominee,  YouTube Sensation

It’s a very small percentage of those who become famous. But I never really wanted that. I’ve worked in over forty countries, comedy-toured with some “names,” done some television, a few movies, voiceovers, TV/film puppeteering, off-off-take-a-left-turn-off Broadway, producing, directing, writing, coaching, and I only did restaurant and temp work in my late teens. I haven’t gotten as far as some, but I’ve gotten farther than others who have tried to live a show business life. This is a little taste of my attempts to move up the ladder. I hope you like it. These are the highlights of my life…so far.”  – Michael Paul Ziegfeld
