WHY DREAM?

"If you can dream it, you can do it. Always remember this whole thing was started by a mouse."   -Walt Disney

"Cherish your visions and your dreams, as they are the children of your soul, the blueprints of your ultimate achievements. "  -Napoleon Hill

All great achievements in life began with a dream, from the computer you’re looking at to the chair you sit in. Ultimately, by manifesting our mental, physical and spiritual dreams into reality we fulfill of our greatest potential and live our purpose.  In the process we create the most sublime and stable form of happiness.

Filling The Void
Having dreams and manifesting them is an expression of what it means to be human.  In fact, those that try, either consciously or subconsciously, to extinguish the flame of desire create a void or hole in their lives which they will then fill with something else, more often than not something that takes them away from their dreams and into great suffering.   We’ve all done this on occasion with excessive, unnecessary or unhealthy food, sex, drugs, shopping, telephone time, TV and movies, anything to fill the hole of unfulfilled dreams and desires.

The problem with avoiding dreams and desires becomes very serious, as the further we drift from them the more unfulfilled we become, causing us stress, anxiety and depression, which then leads to the unhealthy and extreme lifestyle choices just mentioned.  This chain of events can then set the stage for further decline through physical and mental illnesses such as heart disease, cancer, obesity, bulimia, depression and a host of other challenges.  One need look no further that the United States who’s Health Statistics point out that 5 out of 6 people will die from either heart disease, cancer or doctors error. 

So how do we manifest our dreams from imagination to reality?

DREAM TOOLS

"Problems and obstacles do not prevent us from our dreams or create our suffering.  There will always be problems and obstacles regardless of how much money, fame or love you have.  Rather, it is the lack of proper tools to solve problems and surmount obstacles that prevent us from living our dreams and cause us to suffer."  (Daisaku Ikeda)

WHO WE ARE

Chad Nellis -CEO

A renaissance man in the truest sense, Chad Nellis is the founder of Shaka Buku Lifestyle, a conglomeration of companies in several industries, which includes Empower Records, Dream Tools Personal Growth Systems and Enlightened Entertainment Events.

Chad’s goal is to help people find fulfillment in all aspects of their lives by utilizing events, tools, and strategies that make the process of personal growth exciting, entertaining and effective with lasting results.

For more than 20 years Chad has been dedicated to the path of human revolution.  A revolution not against anyone else, but a personal revolution to challenge and transform all forces into a force for value creation.  Through this journey he has helped transform the lives of thousands of individuals through one on one mentoring, life coaching, the teachings of yoga and his music.

Under his stage moniker Shaka Buku he has produced and written 3 independently released albums with critical acclaim and toured throughout the United States.  He has studied yoga for over 13 years from some of the greatest masters including, Bryan Kest, Baron Baptiste and Seane Corn and has been teaching power yoga for over 5 years.  He has written two books: Health & Buddhism Handbook and the soon to be released “Dream Tools” a unique set of tools to help people achieve their own dreams. 

Based on his own study and teaching of over 20 years of Buddhist practice and 10 years of one on one mentoring, his latest release Dream Tools combines ancient wisdom and contemporary strategies and tools from some of the top life coaches of today including: Tony Robbins, Christopher Howard, Wayne Dyer and Brian Tracy.  Chad is certified in Master Results Coaching, Master Hypnosis and Neuro-Linguistic Programming from the Christopher Howard Leadership and Coaching Academy in Los Angeles.

Prior to founding Shaka Buku Lifestyle he suffered major injuries while pursuing a professional athletic career in college, which forced him to re-evaluate his path and purpose, a time to which he now has immense appreciation.  As he puts it, "Injuries may have derailed me from my first dreams, but they opened the door to my ultimate dreams I never even knew I had."

Only 3 years out of college he had achieved his first major financial success by achieving millionaire status in the investment banking industry to which he quickly became dissatisfied.  Living in Aspen Colorado at the time and having achieved what most would consider the American Dream, he felt a longing for deeper fulfillment beyond financial success and began to search for deeper meaning behind these events.

With a seeking mind towards self-discovery and relentless determination a new path would open up before him, allowing a move to Los Angeles and the pursuit of his newly found passion for music, yoga and the never-ending pursuit of self-mastery and its multitude of tools, techniques and teachers. Armed with a plethora of experience and knowledge, eight years later he would move back to San Diego, his collegiate Alma matter where he now performs regularly, runs his companies and teaches yoga at Bird Rock Yoga in Pacific Beach and the Wave House in Mission Beach.
