Daniel J Schwarzhoff

Dan's proposals center on a profoundly simple way of living made possible through a unique form of meditation he first discovered as a child and today continues to practice and pass on to others. Through it, he has established a way of life for himself and his immediate family that is free from anger and stress.

At the core of his writing lies the essential conversion of being each person needs to experience – moving them out of a mesmerized, dull state they don’t realize they are in, and into a state of psychic arousal.

To do this, he shows others how to experience the transformation through a lightly guided, non-contemplative exercise which instantly brings the practitioner to a particular kind of consciousness that immediately alters the course of their lives. Intuitiveness elevates and they are able to live moment to moment free of fear, anger and overwhelming emotions.

It’s a technique he now uses to help others make the same metaphysical connection he and his family enjoy, allowing them to overcome their obsessive problems with food, sex, and relationships, and to enhance the quality of life through heightened creativity and evolved critical thinking.

The proposed practice effortlessly liberates the practitioner from the perennial bondage of Self. Understanding this is essential not only for each individual’s personal happiness but also for the positive advancement of all humanity.

Schwarzhoff guides others all over the world to personal freedom that liberates them from the bondage to people, places, and things and most importantly, Self.

Dan was first exposed to the meditation technique he prescribes when he was about five years old. It happened following a shocking incident with his mother's alcoholic live-in boyfriend. In order to deal with the humiliation and resentment he experienced at the hands of this violent man, Dan stumbled upon the technique, which years later he recognized as meditation, in order to protect himself from the harms caused by that painfully traumatic experience.

He found that he could dislocate his emotions much in the same way that the circus contortionist might dislocate a shoulder. Miraculously, when the experience was over he realized he no longer hated the man for beating him. He was able to recall the event at any time, and yet not feel any hatred or bitterness.  Armed with his secret gimmick, life could never be quite the same.

Then in his teen years, regrettably Dan discontinued the mysterious dislocation practice, succumbing to suppressed resentments and proceeded to descend into the perverse world of active alcoholism and drug abuse, suffering the mental and physical dysfunction of spiritual disease.

At the age of 22, an intense inner transformation profoundly changed the course of his life. It was an experience that led him to overcome depression, anxiety, and other physical afflictions. It did not last. He threw it away feeling “special” for what he had been given and went right back into drinking. This time overwhelmingly depressed.

Then in 1999 during a “white light” spiritual experience everything changed and he was able once again to meditate, just as he had when he was a child. He has never needed to look back. He continues to apply this method in all areas of life and has continued to enjoy mental, emotional and physical well-being as well as spiritual healthfulness. He has dedicated the last several decades to living and demonstrating for others the God-consciousness existence and lifestyle.

Dan is not a doctor or cleric. He doesn’t diagnose illnesses or prescribe medication. He doesn’t preach any religion. He considers this a distinct advantage in helping others. He shows people how their problems can be overcome, diseases and conditions cured, without the use of psychology, medicine, hypnosis or conventional religious means. He traces the etiology of most physical and mental illness back to metaphysical malady. Metaphysical solutions to metaphysical problems are Dan’s realm.

He has himself conquered major depression, anxiety, smoking, alcoholism, onset diabetes, obesity, high cholesterol, sugar addiction, drug abuse, colitis and other intimate dysfunctions through the unique variety of mindful consciousness he proposes.

His doctors have un-prescribed virtually all of the prescriptions he has been given in past decades including Lipitor, TriCore, and ADD medications like Adderall as well as the antidepressant drugs Effexor, Wellbutrin and Lexapro.

He’s a strong advocate for seeking professional medical guidance and occasionally even certain medications that can assist in controlling symptomatic outbreaks, while concurrently addressing the spiritual origin of every mental and physical disorder there is.

Dan first began writing in the mid-70s when he landed a job as publicist and advertising director for a Bronx produce company. He wrote advertising copy and press releases for the company and directed all of their marketing and promotion until 1982. After several years as a Lobbyist in Washington, DC, serving the United Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Association, he left to launch a weekly tabloid newspaper where he was Editor-in Chief of The Fruit & Vegetable Reporter. He wrote most of the tabloids feature stories and much of the news copy.

The late 80s brought Dan to Wall Street in New York City. He became a stockbroker and later, an investment banker with The Wellington Group, Inc., a Private Equities firm. In the late 90s, he moved to Cape Cod where he worked for New York Life as Life Insurance salesman and started a popular blog about alcoholism and recovery, working with alcoholics, drug addicts and breeding thoroughbred racing pigeons.

Working one-on-one with substance abusers to help them recover from their obsessions and grow spiritually, included passing on his unique form of meditation to them, their families and loved ones.

Dan is a born and bred New Yorker, (1957) and was raised in "da Bronx,” NYC. He’s lived most of his adult life in the borough of Queens and now he resides on beautiful Cape Cod in Massachusetts, USA with his wife Nancy and their two children, Dan Jr. and Kristen, both of whom are enrolled in college. The Schwarzhoffs are a complete family unit, enjoying emotional, mental, and physical health as well as a harmonious lifestyle free from the harms of stress. They operate Schwarzhoff Media, a small, non-religious media business dedicated to helping others overcome their problems through intuitive-consciousness attained via Non-Contemplative Meditation™. In July 2017, the Schwarzhoffs celebrated their 38th wedding anniversary.

A note from Dan...

I write and speak a lot about God. The question sometimes arises as to just what my understanding of Jesus Christ is. I mention Him directly in my work but more in the discussion of spirit and principle than merely using his name to show how “Christian” I am.

Using the name of Jesus to blanketly validate otherwise personal opinion or interpretation of Scripture is an indicator of marginal understanding of truth. Everything in my writing, podcast, videos and public talks comes from the heart within–not so much from quotes or bible passages.

I’ve taken a few minutes to capture my beliefs regarding Jesus and to explain those simply and succinctly.

So, for anyone interested, here are my beliefs...

I believe that Jesus, the Nazarene, is the only begotten Son of God. He's the Messiah that was predicted by the prophets and designated by God to be born in the flesh, through the Virgin Mary.

I understand that as the truth of His existence and life on earth is revealed to mankind and accepted within us as it's also in Him, we're then individually saved from Evil, just as He is already free of Evil.

Once we accept this impeccable truth, placing it before all else, not merely acted out through deeds but viscerally imparted through consciousness within, then by that faith it becomes impossible for us to continue to sin.

I also understand that there’s only one God. He’s the Creator of all existence, both Heaven, and earth. Subsequently, I don’t see that Jesus is the Father, Creator and the Source of all wisdom. But I can clearly see that ultimate authority over everything in the universe goes solely to the One and only Father of all, Whom we call God.

I believe that since Jesus is God's Anointed One and His Son with whom the He's “well pleased,” that although He is a born man, He also has the supernatural authority to speak for God and for that reason is divinely deserving of receiving our adoration.

Note: The theological battle of words over whether Jesus Christ is God isn't new. Neither is the issue of whether or not we humans stop sinning once we’re reborn or saved. The truth of these fundamentals only comes through intuitive understanding, wisdom arising out of conscious awareness. I already have the answers to these essential questions and I’m of course delighted to reveal these, but I also see no progress in quarreling over them.
