There’s a truth about our minds: As long as we are alive, our brains are on.

Even while we’re asleep, our minds are still on and (to a degree) receptive. Even in comas our brains have a degree of awareness and receptivity.

And when we’re conscious, we have a constant stream of thought.

I believe that thoughts have power. No matter how minimal or dispersed, I believe that every single thought that we have has power. I also believe that our minds will align our actions, behaviors and habits to bring us into contact with what we think about the most. Not what we want the most, but what we think about the most.

I have taken on a new habit because of this. My new habit is to … [Click Here to Read Post] »

For those of you who’ve been following me this month, you have read my post about my “Presence Experiment”. To recap: I am using yoga and my attention to create an attractive, effortless presence. (I like the idea of having women attracted to me without having to open my mouth.)

Today, I am adding another experiment to my repertoire. The intent of this experiment is simple: increase my testosterone levels in a natural, maintainable way.

“But Edge, what about practicing seduction techniques? What about working on your inner game? Isn’t the whole point … [Click Here to Read Post] »

I just got off the phone with a good buddy of mine. I was telling him about how lately I’ve been working with presence and awareness in my interactions.

I told him that when I was out in public and really being present to the moment, I noticed a tension in my solar plexus, followed by and sort of sinking feeling behind my eyes then a tightening of my throat.

He has a good knowledge of mind-body stuff and knows me pretty well. He said, “Well first, that feeling in your solar plexus is anxiety. You know you’ve got what you need, you know what you need to know. When you’re out in the instances where you feel this, stop doubting yourself and just GO.”

Truth is, I didn’t even feel this tightness a feel weeks ago. It was … [Click Here to Read Post] »

It’s been said before by other self-help experts: To compare leads to despair.

It’s a sobering thought. I made the commitment to really mastering this area of my life 4.5 months ago. In some areas, massive improvement. In other areas, I have actually formed bad habits that work against me.

What do you do when you see a bad thought or habit? You weed it out!

One of the reasons I started this website is to let guys see my humanity in learning this stuff. I think it is equally helpful for men to see ways that other men deal with setbacks as it is to share what has worked. If you’re reading this website, it is because … [Click Here to Read Post] »

So I am driving home this past weekend with a female friend who I’m very close with. She says to me, “You think too much about this stuff. I don’t think - I just flow and everything works out for me.” Now mind you, she is straight, but this girl has got the most solid game I’ve ever seen in picking up chicks, so I enjoy talking to her about the subject.

And on the one hand she’s right. George Clooney and Brad Pitt don’t have to think about game. The guy who’s been great with women all his life… he doesn’t have to think about game.

Well guess what? I don’t have to think about playing guitar… But if I told someone who’s never played to just “not think” and play it, they would not be able to play like me.

We live in a society that attributes … [Click Here to Read Post] »

I want to be great at picking up beautiful women. I want to be great at inner game, outer game, natural game, seduction, etc.

So I read a lot on the subject. And not just courses/books- I sift through forums, blogs, newsletters and just about anywhere else pick-up is discussed.

I always cringe when I come across the “all-you-need-is” post. We’ll call it an AYNIP (since the seduction community loves acronyms.)

AYNIPs are written by one of two types of posters: either a guy who might have some limited experience with women but knows nothing about structured game OR … [Click Here to Read Post] »

Ross Jeffries for years has been pushing yoga and meditation as one of the ultimate tools for inner game and self-development. I decided to start doing yoga based on his strong claims… and now I am a firm advocate of yoga and meditation as well.

One of our readers asked me to explain how yoga and meditation helped me get rid of anxiety. I’ll share my experience – for the sake of simplicity, I’m going to refer to it all as “yoga”. What I am actually doing is about 15 minutes of aligning simple yoga movements with my breathing (asanas), followed by sitting in the classic meditation posture and simply focusing on my breathing and being present to the moment.

How it helps:

1. When consistently practicing yoga, you gain a much greater awareness of your consciousness. When doing yoga, you’re doing your best to rest your attention on your breathing and being totally present to the … [Click Here to Read Post] »

It’s been a little over 13 weeks since Legend and I started going and I have had tremendous success so far. I don’t want to get into all the details, but let’s just say that I have met many wonderful women and have had some pretty great experiences so far. So people are starting to ask me what routines and such I’ve been doing to be successful…

I think what is more important is WHO is the person “doing” the pick up. How do I live through my life? Yeah, technique and actions are important to talk about. I think it’s essential to talk about who I am now – the person I’ve grown into.

When I am at my best (and, in turn, when my interactions go the best), I am being … [Click Here to Read Post] »

I received an e-mail from someone who’s been following along my activities. In the e-mail, he is talking about the different ways he’s suffered in the past with women. We got into a discussion about focusing on the past - I would like to share my response with you all:

As I progressed in my own self-development, I focused less and less and less on the past.

At first, I was addicted to it. I indulged in thinking about painful memories or how I was wronged or how things went wrong and what I felt it meant about my potential. It became so painful and obstructive to where I wanted to go that I decided that it was a habit I had to break. But what was I going to replace it with?

Simply put… I replace it with continuing to build a new reality for myself. I continue to act into new, empowering frames where there used to be a weak or unhelpful one. When I have recognized a pattern in myself of acting in a way that does not generate the responses I want, I ask myself, “Under what circumstances (aka In what frame) would I … [Click Here to Read Post] »

I used to take things personally. I used to feel like judgments of other people really meant something, even if the other person was a complete stranger. Now, with my current mindset, it seems insane and I can’t even wrap my mind around it. But getting to this mental space happened gradually, over years.

So naturally this threw some salt in my game since approaching strangers could take any possible direction. I ended up becoming a “material-junkie”, collecting different self-improvement programs to try and figure out how to get what I wanted out of life.

Now that I am away from that sort of crappy thinking, I realize that a person’s judgements were not about me. They could be about how I communicated to them. They could be about my current level of skill even. But never about me.

In fact, I would even say that making … [Click Here to Read Post] »
