The Kingmaker Project

The Meditation Shrine. This is like my spiritual cockpit. It is one of the first places I put my attention each morning. I see it as a symbol-rich platform that is under my control. Each object reminds me of an important experience or commitment I’ve made to myself. The writings on the wall are excerpts from my journal where I captured the essence of my purpose with words that are meaningful and resonant to me personally. By sitting here early in the morning I saturate ...my subconscious with intentionally chosen symbols. I notice the fluidity of the morning liminal space between dream and waking and seed it with intention. I am easily influenced at this time and everything I see or read has a big impact on my thoughts and creativity throughout the day. I meditate for 30 minutes here with my partner. The items toward the left half are hers, the right is mine. Being intentional in the morning helps me tune in to my best way of being each every day. That doesn’t happen automatically unless I make it happen! The book in the picture is Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World by Cal Newport. This book is all about learning to direct your own attention deeply for your own purposes. How do you direct your attention first thing in the morning, and how does that impact your day? #morning #morningmotivation #morningroutine #morninginspiration #morningthoughts #ritual #rituals #meditationspace #meditationiskey #deepwork #deepwork #king #coaching

@mansaldenton Posted about the micro-micro psychedelic effects Mayan hot chocolate and deep breathing can have. I decided to add a little cayenne to my cacao cinnamon brew this morning and I’m really liking it! Not tripping out or seeing colors or anything (yet) but I definitely feel awake and vibrant, worth it!

Here is our third iteration of Kingmaker: Living the Masculine Archetypes. This has been called the "Masculine Calibration Tool". Get aligned and balanced with your internal King, Warrior, Magician and Lover archetypes and see how your decision making and attention shifts over the following month.

Here are two key books that serve as primers to the world of masculine initiation and archetypal wisdom: Iron John: A Book about Men: https://amzn.to/2wmQ0Yc I particularly recommend Iron John, it is a critical reading of one of the most ancient fairy tales (Iron John) by poet Robert Bly. There's a deep transmission in this book.... And of course, King Warrior, Magician, Lover: King, Warrior, Magician, Lover: https://amzn.to/2ECu8ga

New article about the masculine archetypes. My coach read it and said: "fired me up and allowed me to see more clearly my shadows" This one is making me question a lot of my behavior. Strongly recommended. https://medium.com//the-king-is-in-your-head-long-live-the
