Our downfall stems from believing we always need an answer. It makes us rush. The simple truth is, some questions take longer to answer than others, and some questions simply aren’t meant to be answered. Sometimes, the question itself creates action, and the result is the answer.

The Interpretation of Dreams

So why do we deny ourselves the realisation of our dreams? Why do we tell ourselves it is not meant for us when our subconscious so clearly wants to bring us closer to it? 

Sometimes we have perfect clarity about what we want in our life, other times the future is not so clear. 

So how do we interpret the signs? How do we know we are following illusion or something real? How do we find true satisfaction in life?

Take Back Control of Your Time

Reclaim Your Resources

Sharpen Your Focus

All Is Found In Slowing Down

The false claim that productivity means faster and faster has brought us to the edge of a teetering abyss. The systems we created out of efficiency are interfering with the natural processes of our world. 

As this is true in machinery and mass production, so it is also true in our personal systems and routines. Within them we reproduce success, but what happens when success no longer looks like it used to? 

Doing the same thing we have always done and expecting different results is the definition of madness. But doing something new feels scary and unfamiliar.

And slowing down, when we feel such a strong desire to keep up. Some days it seems easier to put up with the discomfort of discontentment in the hope that some power out of our control will suddenly make decisions for us. 

But if it already feels wrong, why wait for the universe to intervene? Why not take action today to evolve your reality? 

Change is the only constant. We are not the same person we were yesterday. 

But change requires energy and if all our energy is drawn out into the world, how can we ever reclaim enough to meet the demands of personal change and evolution? 

Stop. Look. Listen.

Discover Your True Wealth

Becoming wealthy is not simply a case of earning more money.

True wealth comes from the sincere appreciation of what we already have.

The energy of money naturally flows to those with an abundant mindset. 

Our Mission

There is too much suffering in the world, too much confusion and too many crossed wires. So many conflicts could be avoided if we knew more about how we communicate, and how we interpret our emotions and our experience of the world.

Deepening self-knowledge can end suffering.

Firenapse Origins

I started Firenapse as a vehicle to explore and support human performance. Working as a music teacher, I helped students navigate challenges related to technique and mindset. Getting good at anything takes time. It requires consistent effort over a prolonged period of time. 

Knowing this fact is one thing, but living it, through the ups and downs, is another thing. For such a journey we need fuel to keep burning bright. 

During the process of learning we combust and internalise information to form knowledge. Knowledge gathered from the world helps us understand ourselves better. 

Deepening self knowledge alleviates suffering. Making sense out of the world. We learn the rules so we can go beyond them. 

We are not our appearance, or our job title, or our possessions. We are spheres of energy having a human experience on earth. 

May you find the courage to burn away that which does not resemble your true nature. And from those ashes of illusion, may you discover the unique essence of your beautiful soul. 

Hi, I’m Sam

I’ve served as a music tutor and performer for the last 17 years. I’ve helped hundreds of students to achieve their musical dreams, join bands, pass grade exams, and bring music into their lives. 

Now I bring the power of music to my coaching. I help curious individuals tap into their own internal musical power and utilise it to build unstoppable confidence and paint a vibrant and exciting new future. Music is far more than notes and instruments, music is a state of mind. Adopt that state of mind, and you will discover music is everywhere.
