Outgrowing Backpacking

Mar 5

Posted by Etienne Charland in Lifestyle Design

I’ve considered myself a backpacker for 13 years and I want to share my experience as to what it gave me and the pitfalls of it. I’m mostly writing this article to turn the page into a new chapter of my life, and if someone else gets value from it, then so be it.

First, I’m being very careful not to use the word ‘transcending’. Transcending means to avoid something. Whenever you transcend something, such as transcending sexuality or transcending money, you disconnect from a part of yourself. Here I will talk about outgrowing, which is taking what works about something and correcting the aspects that no longer serve me.

Ever since I was 19, I have been traveling all around the world. I lived in Finland, Sweden, France, Spain, Hungary, Thailand, Peru, Colombia, Mexico and Canada, and traveled to Norway, Denmark, Germany, Czech Republic, Belgium, Andorra, Portugal, Italy, Laos, Myanmar, Belize, China and United States. I speak French, English, Spanish, Thai, a little bit of Swedish and a few words of a bunch of other languages. You can consider that I’m an experienced traveler and I know what I’m talking about. For those who think I’m lucky, this has nothing to do with luck. I simply made the decision.

Let’s about about what I got from such travels. I got to learn many different cultures that have ways of thinking, beliefs and values that are completely different from anything I had ever seen back home. This stretched my mind into new ways …Read More

Traveling in China

Oct 20

Posted by Etienne Charland in Lifestyle Design

I’m in China right now, traveling with a real Chinese QiGong grand-master and reconnecting with ancient memories and powers that predate recorded history. There is a LOT to talk about and this trip truly is magical. We’re getting way more than expected, saying at the best 5-star hotels and eating in the best restaurants.

We spent 3 days in Wudang Mountains, the birthplace of Tai Chi. This place is absolutely gorgeous and the energy is extremely strong. You can feel it in the picture. And guess what I found at the birthplace of Tai Chi? 13-feet-high giant statues, 90-ton stone tablets and pyramids in the surrounding mountains!?

Now I’m in Beijin and we went to the Great Wall of China today. Yesterday we went to the White Cloud Temple that contains very advanced Taoist knowledge of energies. There is very powerful magic embedded into that place. And at the Great Wall, there is very powerful defensive magic embedded into the area. Funny enough, I climbed all the way up on one side with 2 other guys, and both of their cellphones went black when they took pictures; both of them. They couldn’t turn it back on, and one of the iPhone is brand new. After going back down the stairs, the phones started working again.

Translating this Eastern knowledge is not easy. Master Zhou does NOT speak any English so we cannot ask him any question directly. Everything needs to be translated through someone else. Yet there’s so much both I and Rion …Read More

VIP Day for Entrepreneurs

Sep 4

Posted by Etienne Charland in Lifestyle Design

I’m now offering VIP days for entrepreneurs with a large vision. I’ve been connecting with several top-level leaders who felt that I could somehow help them, so I thought it would be a good idea to spell out the value and offer. It’s one thing to have a vague vision. It’s another to make it a reality.

Here are some of the issues I’ve been hearing: feeling stuck, not enough money coming in, communication problems with the team or employees, lack of drive or energy, exhaustion, lack of clarity of purpose, feeling empty and feeling a void growing as material success grows.

You may think you have a money issue, but money really isn’t the issue. You have a relationship issue. Relationship with yourself, relationship with God, relationship with your purpose, relationship with your employees, relationship with money, relationship with your clients, etc. When these things fall into place, money falls into place.

What is this VIP day about? It is for entrepreneurs who genuinely want to have an impact in the world. Sure money is important, and for this kind of transformational experience, the purpose needs to be the primary driving force. Not an intellectual purpose, but a divine energetic purpose that propels you forward.

Why is your purpose so important? Because we will leverage it as a catalyst to propel you forward. Your current paradigm got you where you are right now, so it is very normal to be attached to your foundation: self-identity, beliefs system and values system. It serves your …Read More

Remember Who You Are and What You’re Here For

Aug 18

Posted by Etienne Charland in Lifestyle Design

I just got back from Atlanta after going to an event. In the past, I was only connecting with people who had heavy problems and for who none of the standard solutions were working, OR with Type-A entrepreneurs playing at the highest level. This keeps happening. Now I have 3 A-type entrepreneurs who want to come down to Mexico to do a VIP day. Plus a 4th person who also wants to do a VIP day too. Before the event, my cashflow was completely jammed, and now 4 people want to do a VIP day. 4x $5000 makes a more sustainable business model. Cash appears to be an on/off switch. I just have to get those payments in and get things rolling.

I also have an event coming up this week-end on August 21-23th. It will be a very intensive workshop with 14h days where we go the whole night; the way I like it. Considering that not a single person outside of our Year of Enlightenment group has shown interest for it, combined with the fact that 4 leaders want to do a VIP day, I may not host another event in this format at that price point. It is only $1500 for the 3 days, and only for those who already have direct experience doing energy work with me, either 1-on-1 or at another event. I’ll have my most advanced students there so we will go DEEP. One intent will be to cause a transition period for each individual. …Read More

Freedom Lifestyle in Belize

Feb 11

Posted by Etienne Charland in Lifestyle Design

Let’s talk about lifestyle design. I just had a fabulous week of “vacation” in Belize. I went horseback riding in the mountains of Belize up so some gorgeous Mayan ruins, visited one of the most gorgeous caves in the world with untouched remains of human sacrifices and skeletons, went diving and before even starting to dive, ended up swimming with a dozen dolphins who stayed with us for 20 minutes in the wild open ocean, swimming as close as a meter away! On top of all that, I did in a week the energy work that would otherwise have taken me 4 months, built several business relationships, and I might end up being able to provide you the highest quality morinda on the planet, grown in an organic farm in Belize free from air polution. Morinda is an extremely nutritious healing plant that originally came from India and is getting increasingly known in Latin America. I still have to see whether it should invest time building this or not. I wish all my weeks were that productive!

The quality of some of the sights in Belize really are understated. When going to the ATM cave near San Ignacio, I was expecting something similar to other caves I visited before. Not even close. They said we would get “wet”, but forgot to mention we literally had to swim in the river within the cave a few times, squeezing our neck between rocks along the way! It was way more adventurous, and gorgeous, …Read More
