We are Constantly Changing, It’s up to Us as to How

September 24, 2019.Reading time 7 minutes.

To follow-up on my post last week, Why I Took Out My Earbuds…. I mentioned my Apple products, Audible, and podcasts almost as if the problem is that they exist. That is not the case at all. The problem is always the user, me and you. We choose to use these devices, it’s not necessary. […]

I am a New Dad

September 3, 2019.Reading time 18 minutes.

I’m a new dad. Our son, Weston, is about 7 weeks old. Having a child has only enhanced my desire to live a peaceful, loving life and to really experience the life Kait and I want for our family. Becoming a father for the first time at the age of 34 is probably considered […]

Hey! I’m Shaun, I have a kinesiology and a doctor of physical therapy degree. Over the past 10 years of working the fitness/therapy world, I became aware that there is something more than the body-mind. Call it awareness, pure consciousness, the universe, love, the beyond, light, or life. Over the years, I started on the path of self inquiry without being aware until about 2018, but my experience lead me right to it. I recognize that my shyness was purely the manifestation of my insecurities and my self created fears had always held me back. … I created Observing Experience to share my stories and my experiences to help inspire and guide others to experience their true nature. To live the life that you desire, through peace, love, and freedom – to live cohesively with all humans and beings, nature/earth, the universe and beyond! I also love to travel, as I believe experiencing through new cultures is one of the best methods of enlightening our perspectives.
