Join the M2 tribe and CRACK THE CODE of your Neck, Back and Habit issues keeping you from being physically and emotionally FREE. The M2 Experience will guide you over 21 days to find calm, become more present, regain control, and feel more physically capable.
Guided by a Navy SEAL Commander (Ret.) whose mindfulness practice saved his life, and a world-renowned Doctor of Physical Therapy, the M2 Experience will give you the playbook, the coaching and the accountability to summit the Pyramid of Emotional & Physical Freedom, reclaiming control over how you feel – both physically and emotionally – and over the time and attention you give to your life’s triggers in as little as 10 minutes a day.
You will be able to take back control over your time and attention, reduce negative emotions (pain, anger, depression, negative self talk, stress, anxiety, etc.), increase positive emotions (gratitude, compassion, acceptance, love, kindness, fulfillment), and improve what your body can physically do.
- Eva S, Cohort 1
Here’s a taste of the first week of the Experience. Our guides lead you through a variety of daily elements, both live and pre-recorded. If you miss a day or 2…or 3 – no worries. Everything is recorded and you’ll have ample time to go through the materials, ask questions and feel supported.

Feel the Way You WANT To Feel
"I set out to improve my shoulders and resolve an energy-time crisis. I'm happy to report that on my assessment I showed major improvement in both areas. I still have some work to do to be more physically healthy. The mindfulness practice worked wonders. My SLEEP bed says my average went up three points in a month. I have been better prepared for the stress of the day with meditation in the morning. I even caught myself enjoying my lunch a couple times and not searching for TUMS after! I actually take breaks and SEE(!) the world. Family says I'm a lot more present which is the real blessing. I hope to return for the next cohort and participate more in the live sessions. Thanks Dr T and Jon Macaskill."
Finding Calm
"I have never had such a calming feeling in the face of absolute heartache before. But then again...I didn't have the tools before. And the beautiful thing is that Sunday night, I met a soldier at our friends house just by happenstance or serendipity...and we got to talking about grief, loss and injury and how vital it is to learn how to quiet the mind, but so very hard to figure out alone. I told him about your meditations, Dr. T's amazing team and the tribe and in his eyes, I saw hope. It was so moving. " - E.M.
Having a Tribe
"So thank you truly, each and every one of you for teaching, sharing, being vulnerable, funny, heartfelt and inspiring....It's not about all aspects in life fitting perfectly together without wear or grit. It is about acknowledging we all have cracks and pieces of ourselves big and small that weigh us down and hold us up. It's all about balance. And this Tribe has helped add balance to my life when my world started crumbling." - E.S.
Processing Grief
"I just completed my first meditation, and I wanted to thank you both for allowing me to join this incredible program. It is something I've needed for many moons, and I am so happy I'm here. I feel a little silly for getting teary on the call this morning, it's been a really long few years, and so many things that the members of our cohort said resonated with me. Sadly, I lost my Dad and my Grandma this past year during the pandemic, and I have a lot of healing to do still. Though neither of them passed away from COVID, the "Covidness" of the situation made it especially difficult, as we still have not properly mourned nor held a funeral or celebration of life for my Dad." - A.C.
Feel Better Physically
"My Au Sm moment was yesterday when my Massage Therapist said, "Bossman what have you been doing? What ever you are doing keep it up, your shoulders and legs are much looser!" Mindful movement and meditation is the answer!" - R.D.
Honesty
"I have found a Calm and an Honesty when having tough conversations." - B.C.
Being Present
"A lot of my stress that weighs me down today are events from the past, and most days I struggle to be present today. The meditations (I’m doing a couple times a day) are helping me focus on my present. Nice little breaks from the past for me, something I will probably make a habit for sure." - B.N.
Letting Go
"I am learning that there are a few things that I have not fully “let go” of and a story that I continue to carry with me (ie Cancer) that I am finding is a source of stress and not feeling like a “whole” person anymore. That came up in a meditation and it hit me like a ton of bricks….for some reason I thought I had moved on. Major shift for me." - L.H.
Brain and Body Connection
"I've now got a broader perspectives of what mindfulness is. That it is not just about sitting and breathing. Rather, developing the connection between the mind, body, food, etc., is essential for emotional regulation. Congrats on setting up a caring program that helps us all to work on connecting with ourselves." - K.F.
Creating a Good Routine
"I am learning that even when I’m able to just be…my mind has difficulty following suit. I have a lot to work on for the movement aspect and for all of it the routine is key for me. It hasn’t been easy to do that but rewarding when I follow it and start my day off “knocking down that first domino” and to do everything without judgment!" - R.S.
Caring for Yourself First
"I have always taken care of others so learning to take care of myself is a new concept. It is so much easier to take care of patients and help fix their problems. I am getting better with being more mindful and present but it is a struggle sometimes. I am a work in progress." - S.M.
Letting go of Your Story
"First few days of the challenge (Topic: Letting Go), were huge for me and I wanted to share the experience. Meditation has been hard for me lately, especially with so many circumstances in my life (personally, professionally, and physically) totally out of my control and coming up on the BIG 6-0 soon, a cross-country move, caregiver for an aging parent, and running a retail business during the age of COVID to mention a few. Withing the first 4-5 days of the challenge, every day, I saw a quote about letting go, obviously a sign to pay attention. During the first meditation of letting go, it asked us to visualize what was holding us back (paraphrasing). With my eyes closed, I saw the two sides of my brain totally full of junk. Interestingly enough, the brain was colored pink. Then when Jon asked for us to release and let go, I saw as if a strong wind blew through my brain (almost like sand) and everything that was clogging my brain was dispersed towards the left and started to disappeared. The second day, letting go of your story, as I was deep into meditation and Jon asked to see what we needed to let go, I saw this hand squeezing my heart hard. As I set my intention to let go, I saw and felt the grip of that hand starting to release my heart. Following that experience, I have felt more of my emotions and now as we have progressed with the meditations learning to feel them without judgement. Still learning how not to be so distracted but feeling a bit more calm when doing the meditations. Great experience so far." - F.C.
Mindful Moments
"Just thought I'd share something that I noticed, and maybe it's even worth trying....I'm finding ways to incorporate mindfulness into day-to-day activities, even as simple as putting away the dishes or folding laundry (weird I know..lol). But it seems like when I turn off my phone, music, etc, and just focus on the activity (muscle movements, sounds, etc) I'm doing at that moment, I'm finding that even things like the dishes are "giving me a break". I'm sure my wife will LOVE to hear this!!" - R.P.
Slowing Down
"My Au Sm moment this week was watching my baby sleep for 10 minutes in my arms then watching him sleep in his crib for a few moments… vs putting him straight down and getting onto the next thing." - J.P.
Finding Space
"My Au Sm moment this week was shutting out the world and reflecting for 30 minutes on my growth - how far I have come and where I want to be. No phone, no kids, just quiet reflection!" - K.K.
Improve Listening & Reflect More Deeply
"My Au Sm moment this week was when I found myself reflecting and listening at levels I never thought possible. Working in the medical field, I have always listened for areas of concern. That overlaps at home most days. I would focus on the noisy traffic when driving, doors closing and people talking in parking lots, kids screaming in stores….the list goes on and on. That changed for me this week and I can hear the birds chirping, crickets at night and people laughing. Although the other noises are still there, they exist in the background." - S.M.
Be Deliberate
"I'm making a deliberate and intentional choice to "BE" present NOW. The ability to mentally shut the laptop between my ears when I physically shut the office door each evening is amazing. I'm grateful to be on a mindful journey guided by two amazing humans, awesome Americans, and friends Jon Macaskill and Dr. Theresa Larson DPT, CSCS, USMC from Movement Rx. My wife is grateful, too!" - B.B.
Alleviate Anxiety
"I really wanted to thank you both for this program. I also really wanted to thank B.N. for something. On one of the check ins, B. said something that resonated with me deeply. B, you said “I am trying to stay present because presently everything is ok”. I wrote that sentence down, and I look at it EVERY SINGLE DAY, multiple times a day. I struggle with anxiety, and when it rears its ugly head, you just gave me a tool that simple…but incredibly effective for me. Thank you B." - A.C.
Improve Movement
"Being a part of this challenge was such a privilege! I've noticed so many positive changes from my lower resting heart rate, to my ability to deal with pain. My favorite movement, which I am still working on, is the sit to stand." - T.T.
Allow Yourself to Be Vulnerable
"I just began the day 2, the Letting Go challenge. Holy smokes, brother, it was powerful. I had to stop for a moment....Tears flooding over. Brought up so much emotion when I said, "I see you." The ache in my chest was so visceral, took my breath away. It has taken me a life time to try and surrender it and let it go. Still a work in progress. Thank you brother, for the healing practice you offer us, truly." - Anon
Doing this with Loved Ones
"I am enjoying the program very much...and my wife can’t stop talking about how much she is getting from the program which is great. She really needs this right now. I really appreciate you. You (the team) have such an amazing connection that comes shining through everything you do." - T.S.
Get Rid of Mental Fog
"My memory is better than it’s ever been, I’m able to concentrate better, my migraines have decreased immensely, I am in control of my reactions and handle negative situations so much better now, I’m able to live in the NOW, and last but not least - I FEEL SMARTER!" - N.P.
Respond with Grace
"For the first 8-10 days I was like - well this isn't working and why does every session sound and feel the same - I thought that I was going to learn something about how to meditate - all I am doing is BREATHING! And mindful meals, what the hell is that about - most of the time I eat so fast I don't have time to think - and anyway I like to read when I eat anyway so stop messing with my reading time. And then something clicked... I started slowing down without even knowing I was or why.... I was becoming aware of things that I was noticing ( like posture, breathing, slowing down, fixing my car seat settings,). But the real change was that when unexpected things happened, as they always do, I was not responding in the same way ( not all the time but enough times to notice the change and repeat it more going forward) - as I am typing this my wife just came in and interrupted me abruptly and my response was...well...more gentle and under control than I recall ever feeling." - J.H.
Find Equanimity & Heal
"I love all the movements and meditations. But Day 9 (Equanimity) stuck out as a favorite. Life is busy and always speeding forward so fast. Often, too fast. But at the same time some intense moments from the past (grief, survivor's guilt, the list goes on) sneak up and keep me from being fully present, or heck even forgetting to breathe for a while. But learning to say "Ah, right now it is this" has helped me tremendously to acknowledge without reacting to some of these intense moments. It also has helped as I repeat this phrase to my kiddos and remind them awareness does not always require reaction. So grateful for this Experience. These meditations have been helping me to stay present, taking time for myself to calm and grow my mind while the exercises are teaching me that my body can heal and go further than I thought. Thanks so much Dr. T, Jon and Movement Rx team!" - E.S.
Stop for a Moment
"I loved the exercise... actual movements! But I really LOVED the meditation and mindfulness sessions. Helped me "stop" for a moment, and it felt good!" - L.P.

and crave mental space, but the monkey in your mind is so used to running the show that you’re afraid you can’t TRULY relax anymore.
in your work production, your important relationships, or your health and you’re not sure how that can happen.
who wants to find control or purpose after transitioning, but needs a tribe to help inspire you and keep you accountable.
to feel calm, hurt less, or be more present, but you need some extra guidance.
and just want to feel normal, but you’re struggling to consistently be free of the pain and because of that you never quite feel you can give the time and attention to the things that fulfill you. (Heck, you may have even forgotten what fulfills you.)
You can calm the mind, work on your body and feel in control using apps, youtube videos and breathing techniques.
However, your results will be fleeting because you’re missing vital components to building REAL emotional and physical longevity:
This M2 Experience is built to provide you with all of that.
You’re on the verge of breaking through the chaos, anxiety and numbness of feeling hurt, hurried, frenzied and disconnected.
You’re about to summit the Pyramid of Emotional and Physical FreedomTM, re-connecting with who you are and with your path to purpose.
And over the 21 days, you’ll engage with the Pillars of the M2 Experience to FINALLY feel sustained emotional and physical freedom.
It’s not hippie stuff, and it’s not magic…
It takes effort.
But if you’re ready to follow the step-by-step process, and commit to the work ahead with the support of a new tribe, then keep reading to see how the M2 Experience can work for you.
Your guides for this M2 Experience are individuals who really understand struggle, chaos, and how to stay calm in the midst of any situation.
Those guides are Commander Jon Macaskill (Ret.) and Dr. Theresa Larson, DPT a former Marine-Officer-turned Doctor of Physical Therapy and author of the book WARRIOR.
Along the way you’ll be also be supported by experts in pain science, mindful food choice, physical self-care, and mindful fitness.
Jon Macaskill is a former Navy SEAL Commander, and through his career led a variety of dangerous missions in hotspots like Somalia, Panama, Iraq and Afghanistan. While the life of the Navy SEAL has been glorified through books and movies, there’s an unseen truth behind the scenes. Tremendous loss, grief, shame, stress, PTSD, and physical wounds are just a starting list of the toll their careers take.
Jon struggled with that toll for years, and when it was suggested he try mindfulness, he laughed. Hard.
But over time he tried it, stopped, tried it some more, stopped again, and finally got into a habit of mindfulness practice. Then he got good at it, and it was the answer he’d been looking for all along.
Because of how mindfulness has helped Jon regain control of his thoughts, emotions and responses, he knew it could help so many others. So he studied and practiced for years and now is bringing his approach to mindfulness to you.
Dr. T, as she’s widely known, is a musculoskeletal health and fitness expert, TEDx speaker, author and former USMC Officer. After losing her mother to cancer at 10 years old, she developed into a young woman who held herself to a standard of perfection – as an All-Conference D1 college athlete, as a national fitness competition champion, and as a US Marine.
But all these accomplishments masked a gnawing and growing chasm of anxiety and imposter syndrome, and an increasing sense of feeling out of control. After a particularly high-risk night convoy in Iraq (<>), she knew she needed to find real help in order to be the leader her 80 Marines needed. However, asking for help led to her discharge from the Marine Corps, for which she felt confused, ashamed and a failure.
Knowing that physical health and movement helped her regain calm and focus, she embarked on a career in musculoskeletal health. Her experiences and expertise led her to the specialty health field of ‘mindful movement’, where she has become a thought leader.
In addition to treating and teaching the elements of mindful movement to 1,000s of people across 4 continents, Dr. Larson also takes her own medicine, practicing mindful fitness as a tool to down-regulate her mind and body.
This 30 minute workshop is like freshman year orientation, but waaay better. It’s the place to connect with your tribe and start learning from your Guides.
You will experience the core principles of mindfulness and movement, tap into a handful of amazing healing practices and create momentum for the 21 day journey.
Improve self-awareness by knowing where you’re starting from, scientifically. Join Dr. T as she leads you through our self-assessments designed to help you clearly understand your body’s particular imbalances, your emotional energy capacity, and your personal Work-Life Alignment.
Repeat these at the end of 21 days to track how much the Experience has changed your physical and emotional health.
Improve what you believe yourself capable of through progressive mindfulness lessons.
Retired Navy SEAL Commander Jon Macaskill curated and narrated this series of 5-10 minute habit-makers especially for this Experience to help you do the Deep Work you can’t get through apps or high intensity challenges.
The Experience includes live and pre-recorded events taught by Dr. Marissa, Dr. Megan, Will Schneider, Chef Nikki, and Fitness Coaches Ray and Lindsay.
Join these live fitness classes, soft tissue workshops, and health webinars, or watch the recorded replays.
Our team will check in daily, encouraging interaction, answering questions and making sure you’re connected.
In addition, there are 4 Checkpoints with Jon and Dr. T where you and your tribe will share – deeply – what is working or not working.
Become a part of something bigger by giving support to the tribe, and by getting support in return from the tribe. You know this isn’t easy.
Expect to be vulnerable enough to share, and expect encouragement from the rest of the crew.
We have fun weekly prizes from our partners, PLUS everyone who registers gets a sweet Be Au Sm t-shirt and M2 Experience Kit!
And yes, there are awards!
Starting with the kickoff seminar on May 18 and continuing for the next 21 days, you’ll be led by Jon Macaskill and Dr. Theresa Larson through the Pillars, both live and pre-recorded in your secure members’ area. If you can make the live sessions, fantastic. But you don’t NEED to – everything can be done at your convenience.
They are designed to RECONNECT YOUR BRAIN & BODY and get you to BECOME SKILLED in thinking, moving, responding and eating mindfully, with all the support we can give you along the way.
Once you book your spot in the Experience, you’ll be automatically registered for the May 18 workshop. The day prior- May 17 – you will also receive access to the Movement Rx platform and the private Experience facebook page.
You’ll start with the live kickoff session with your tribe, then every day you’ll get access to a different challenge that teach incredibly useful mindfulness skills and movement health drills. The early challenges are simpler, with the later challenges tapping deeper into how to better respond to pain and other triggers.
Every day, you’ll have access to get your questions answered in the M2 Experience facebook group, plus you’ll also have access to live weekly Check-point sessions and Movement Rx sessions. All training sessions are also live on Zoom and recorded, meaning you’ll have access even if you don’t do facebook or can’t make them live.
We want this to be a no-brainer for you, so how about this?
