Five Things You Might Not Know About Geoffrey Saign


It’s hard to guess much of anything about most people. But five things that would be very hard to know about me could be the following. I’ve snorkeled with whale sharks in the Caribbean. I love water, and swim often, but snorkeling with whale sharks was very exciting. On that same trip I snorkeled with a giant manta ray. It flapped its wing as a warning, hitting the water. If it had hit my head, I would have been unconscious, or worse.

Okay, a second thing would be that I’ve gone 30 days, 3 times, with just drinking organic carrot juice—a gallon a day. I did it for allergies, and yes, I turned a little orange!

Thirdly, I’ve had some ESP experiences that were quite interesting. One, I sat in a circle of strangers while traveling in Australia. We were supposed to stare at the person across from us and ask 3 questions = Who is standing behind them? What is the person wearing? What are they saying? I told the woman I was looking at that a young man stood behind her, wearing a black suit, white collar, his hand on her shoulder, saying, “It’s okay.’ She began crying, said her nephew always wore all black with a white collar, and had been a missionary, and on his last mission died—she never had a chance to say goodbye.

4th. I’ve sailed @ 4,000 miles in the South Pacific, and while painting a boat, almost hit the captain on the head when a paint can that fell from the top of the main mast. He had a temper and I didn’t come down for a while. LOL

5th, me and a friend managed to start a hotel in Australia on fire while painting the roof. We were traveling and young and did odd jobs. We were burning off the old paint on stucco walls. We each blamed each other. Also, neither of us wanted to go down to get water to put the fire out because the boss would see us. We argued and I finally won out. And of course the boss saw my friend carrying the 5 gallon bucket of water and fired us!

Read an Excerpt

You Can End Daily Stress With Playfulness and Humor

One way to change rote, stressful thought patterns is to use playful exaggeration. It is a simple, repetitive method that will produce immediate and significant results, and we will use it often in this book in different ways and situations.

Let’s try it with dirty dishes. You see dirty dishes in the sink. Thoughts enter your mind about how irresponsible the person was in leaving them there. You feel annoyed and irritated. You notice this Self-Created Stress reaction inside yourself, and you interrupt it. You say out loud or think:

Oh no! My hands will never recover from this!
This is going to ruin my whole life!
It’s the end of the world as I know it!

Smile as you do this. Smiling brings about a strong positive emotion, and strong emotion helps change the brain by wiring a new neural pattern that’s even stronger.

Every time we change our thought pattern or interrupt old thought responses, we are changing our brain—teaching it—and allowing a new neural pattern to develop. We are telling the brain, This old pattern of thought is no longer useful or acceptable. The brain always listens. EVERY SINGLE EFFORT IS WORTHWHILE. This cannot be overstated.

About the Author:
Geoffrey Saign began reducing stress by practicing mindfulness at the age of fifteen. For fifty years he studied many modalities for mind-body calming and awareness, including Qigong, tai chi, kung fu, meditation, biofeedback, positive psychology, and many others. He co-designed and taught a cutting-edge, research-based self-awareness class to young adults for ten years. In 2020 the author experienced a major breakthrough in mind-brain-body awareness, which led to him Living with intelligence HERE, and the resulting book, Smile More Stress Less.
